Data logger is a key component in building a telemetry system. Using the telemetry system, the activity measurements of an object and retrieval of measurement data can be done remotely (remote). Universal Data Logger (UniDalog), the data logger is a device that has ability to store measurement data, download the data remotely, as well as setting of data logger and remote sensor calibration. By utilizing...
Nowadays there are games that involving a challenge and using a reward system are designed to solve problems in several areas. These games, called serious games, do not put aside the entertainment, although this is not their main purpose. Among the problems that can be solved or at least mitigated with the help of serious games, there are highlighted those involving health care and especially intellectual...
One of the objectives of College English Teaching and Learning Reform is to develop students' individualized and autonomous learning. As an integrated part of College English Teaching and Learning Reforms, a new computer-based teaching model should be established. So, to develop learner autonomy under CALL environment, teachers should reconsider their responsibilities and adjust their roles to guiding...
With its wast source of information and new communication technology, Internet has been embraced as an very important tool for students'autonomy learning. This study explores how college students make good use of Internet to facilitate their autonomy learning. It first specifies the scope of autonomy learning under the context of learning society, and explores the resources online that can be employed...
The utilization of information and communication technology (ICT) to enhance teaching and learning is the emphasis of the education reform in China. The purpose of this study was to construct an effective online learning model for the online learning. Through the analysis of the web learning problem, the article brings forward the important function of the online tutor in web learning and defines...
Using media directly influences teaching communication and its effects in relation to knowledge acquisition. Words are still the main source of communication in the teaching process but not in the form of monolog and teacher's individual speech but in the form of dialog. Pictures are being used more and more in order to transmit knowledge and information to students. This kind of teaching is more...
This paper describes a web-based project management system (PMS) for large-scale and complex agricultural scientific research projects which need the cooperation among scientific research institutions located in different areas. This teamwork system integrated with the modem project management bases on workflow and combined the Internet with communication networks to manage the research process in...
This paper first discusses what e-learning and integrated e-learning is, then compares the differences between traditional learning, e-learning and integrated e-learning. Conclusion is made by the comparison that integrated e-learning has more advantages over the other two. At the same time, this paper probes into the characteristics and infrastructure of integrated e-learning and the probability...
This technical paper summarizes the methodology used to design an interactive food and exercise reporting program, called CFC GetFit. The team designed the site for the Chilidren's Fiteness Clinic (CFC) in Charlottesville, VA, and the site includes health education, patient progress, and the ability to receive short message service (SMS) text messages from users. It is hypothesized that children who...
In this essay, we present an experience held in a subject of Civil Engineering. The activity consists of the students integrating a virtual forum, which makes possible an exchange of ideas between them and the integration of concepts through problematic raised situations. In this way, we aim to perform a collaborative work as well as to develop critical thinking, and at the same time we face the students...
We deployed Field Servers in tropical zones such as India and Thailand for challenges in high temperature and found several problems to be solved technologically. Deployment of Field Servers under high temperature and lack of broad band Internet service is still big challenge as we so far deployed in Himalaya. High temperature and strong solar radiation destroyed low-cost Field Servers in half years...
The web-based autonomous learning is gaining momentum. Despite the abundant learning resources and the incomparable learning freedom it offers, the brand-new learning environment poses problems such as the establishment of learning goals, the designing of learning plans, the monitoring of learning processes and the evaluation of learning outcomes, which might create obstacles for successful web-based...
With development of teaching reform, more and more studies are centered on improving autonomy of students in universities. As for students in English major, a variety of reforms of teaching mode have attached researchers' attentions. The most important one lies on reform of "zero-approach" teaching mode based on web. The reform is based on humanism and discovery learning theory. It mainly...
We report on the recent activities of PRISM, an electronic hub to support integration of digital resources into 6th - 12th-grade STEM classrooms for Indiana teachers. Specifically, this presentation gives a description and a preliminary assessment of the efficacy of integrating a course management system (Moodle) into a range of 6th - 12th grade content courses.
Corpus-informed vocabulary instruction approach (CIVI) is a novelty in teaching method in China and makes it possible to improve the college English vocabulary teaching. Based theoretically on constructivism and Krashen's Input Hypothesis, this paper searches for the combination of college English network teaching and corpus, and attempts to design a corpus-informed vocabulary instruction (CIVI) mode...
Nowadays, more and more students are learning through the Internet and a new way of learning which we name as integrated e-learning is emerging. This paper first discusses the definitions of e-learning and integrated e-learning, then compares traditional learning, e-learning and integrated e-learning. By analysis, the paper finds integrated e-learning have more advantages over the other two. At the...
Collaborative learning concept is popular in autonomous learning time. But the effective measures are to be probed. Some scholars have studied it from their teaching experiences. Thus they have found some effective measures for students. In the present time, some factors have to be considered because of different students in different environment. The researcher has studied the concept of collaborative...
This paper provides a reflection on the potential contribution of scientific computing with a view to improving energy system efficiency. First, we will consider energy efficiency globally in order to evaluate its potential. We will then focus on electricity, since electrical energy is interpreted as the universal vector of work. This will give us the understanding we need for envisaging a more efficient...
"Zero-approach" Teaching mode is an effective one for improvement of autonomy of students, esp. for students of second-level College. In the "zero-approach" teaching mode, the course has been set up, but the teacher does not have to teach as usual because there is no time allocated for formal classroom teaching. The role of the teacher is to assign learning materials for students,...
With the development of education informatization online reading becoming a new style in the Web-based classroom in Chinese primary school. However, some students had shaped a low-level, busy-click-mouse, empty- idea and other reading habit. Though a few online bookmark Websites could be helpful, they were not special designed for Chinese young students. Therefore, a software should be designed to...
