Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are playing an increasing role in our daily lives and it is changing knowledge delivering. For engineers and related careers, where new trends and technologies are delivery continuously, having professional success depends on being updated with them. By adopting web-based learning so that both, students and professionals may accelerate such achievement...
Results of development and practical introduction of advanced professional English training course into a higher school educational process for masters of sciences in electro-mechanics at polytechnic university's electrical engineering department are introduced.
The spread of scientific knowledge was most marked in recent decades with the advent of distance education. It was possible because advances like the Internet and the development of Learning Management Systems (LMS) were improved increasingly. However, the large amount of information available is not sufficient to ensure the development of future learners in technical disciplines, such as Computer...
In distance learning platforms the training is adapted to each learner's cognitive profile. It combined between the individualization of course units according to each learner and the collaboration between learners themselves and tutors. However, teachers no longer have direct contact with learners that allow them to assess their evolution. Hence the importance of integrating the tracking of learners...
Distance learning (DL) is an effective technique for person reidentification (PR-ID). DL based methods learn the distance metric by exploiting the discriminative information contained in samples. In PR-ID, different types of negative samples own different amounts of discriminative information, and impostor samples usually own more than other well separable negative samples (WSN-samples). Therefore,...
In today's modern education, distance learning methods and tools provide an effective way to offer instructions remotely, particularly when instructions in person cannot be provided. Delivering technology-rich courses that engage students in different group activities such as working on group projects, as well as laboratory and in-class exercises, create new challenges that need to be addressed. This...
In order to solve existent questions of CAI (Computer Aided Instruction) in university teaching, the course of Elements of Information Theory was taken as an example to describe how to use the CAI. According to characteristic of this course and teaching law, CAI could be used correctly and reasonably by some methods which could wake up the interest of students, such as the combination between writing...
Because collaboration plays a key role in today's society, it is beneficial to prepare people at a young age for collaborative work. However, there is no academic or professional consensus on the most effective approach. To remedy this shortcoming, our research will expand on one promising method: the incorporation of collaborative scaffolding into collaborative educational video games. Although there...
The understanding and transfer of mathematical expressions in a programming language is essential for studying engineering. Our experience of recent years shows that students increasingly struggle in reading, understanding and eventually transferring mathematical expressions to a programming expression so we need to provide many relevant tasks to help students overcoming this challenge. From educational...
The study aimed to evaluate the factors influencing the adoption of e-learning in Gezira University according to views of staff memb ers and recommended possible solutions to overcome challenges. Recently University of Gezira as well as some Sudanese Universi ties started to adopt e-learning as new me thods to facilitate teaching and learning. Sample of 150 staff members were selected randomly from...
Modernization requires high quality teaching, which provides the platform for lifelong learning combining organized training and self-development in person or in a virtual form. The basic function of adult teaching was to supplement the missing theoretical information, however today the tendency has changed. Many people want to have higher qualifications which develops their basic training, others...
Teacher oriented, limited with the time and bordered with the walls of the classroom traditional education methods are being replaced with self-paced, learner oriented constructivist tendencies. Computer technology gives a lot of opportunities to prepare instructional materials on that purpose. Computer Algebra Systems (CAS) are the software that can do more than a calculator. Appropriate use of the...
Learning to use distributed business systems requires expensive and sustained training efforts. An approach to nurture local users to become mentors for colleagues has been developed as an alternative to training courses. A user level plus a mentor level distance learning course were evaluated amongst users of a health information system in Malawi. The user level course was adequate for users with...
Having students ask and answer questions among themselves can help deepen their understanding of learning content. Tablet devices are advantageous for such application due to their portability and capability to support not only text but also images and sound. A few elementary schools in Japan have already started introducing tablet devices into the classroom. This requires making some changes to the...
This paper concentrates on the methodology-oriented components of remote laboratory arrangement in the field of electrical drive. An active learning approach proposed to support online experimentation on the servo-drives, step drives, and induction motor drives helps the students to employ novel online tools and devices, to face real-world situations, and to interact with peers in circumstances that...
The purpose of this research was to identify the students' level of utilization of Learning Management System (LMS) namely, i-Class at University Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Malaysia. The researcher examined four factors which are the students' technology competency, students' access to i-Class, lecturers' initiative, and students' perceive usefulness towards the students' utilization of i-Class. The research...
Remote screen recording is a system that records whole actions on a remote computer screen, and displays the actions on a client computer screen at the same time. Traditionally, screen recording are streamed in a video format, which large data usually results in high CPU utilization and heavy network loading. Therefore, in order to reduce CPU utilization and network bandwidth loading, the screen recording...
For the past few decades, the area of higher education has been experiencing a time of complete transformation through the use of new and emerging technologies. The transformation of learning, teaching and the classroom depends completely upon the use of various technologies inside the classroom. E-Learning has become a new philosophy and standard in the area of education with the goal being to serve...
The ACM/IEEE-CS Joint Task Force on Computing Curricula published the Computer Science Curricula 2013. They express recommended contents of an introductory programming course as competencies. Competencies are latent properties that cannot be observed and measured directly. However, in order to make them observable and measurable tasks have to be solved. The Computer Science Curricula 2013 mentions...
In this paper, we focus on the qualification of teachers of physical sciences in terms of the integration of simulation in teaching the physical concepts. Our distance learning platform based on Moodle, is an effective alternative to continuous training in face-to-face mode. Indeed, conventional training is limited in time and space. The proposed solution allows overcoming the conventional training...
