Computer control technology is the curriculum with strong theoretical and practical characteristics. Teaching reforms carried out in Qingdao University of Science and Technology is reported in this paper. Various ways are employed, including reforming and updating the course content, combining theory instruction, computer aided tutoring, practical exercising and academic discussion in the teaching...
The success of the e-learning offering depends on it's quality. There is no standard quality model in e-learning, therefore the unique model used in the case study is presented. The SMEs Go Online project aimed to build up competitiveness of small and middle sized enterprises (SME), by offering e-learning courses for their employees in computer and e-business knowledge. Evaluation of e-learning system...
This paper investigates the application of the snap-drift neural network (SDNN) to the provision of guided student learning in formative assessments. SDNN is able to adapt rapidly by performing a combination of fast, convergent, minimal intersection learning (snap) and learning vector quantization (drift) to capture both precise sub-features in the data and more general holistic features. Snap and...
This study is dedicated to the learning process to help students to deal with the complexity of a Lighting Design Project. In the Department of Electrical Engineering, preference was given to applying methods integrating technology in the learning and then evaluating the outcomes. Problem-based learning (PBL) was used as an instructional strategy of active learning, and adapted for use in Lighting...
When we study a subject like ldquointroduction to computer programingrdquo with languages like C or C++, some aspects may be considered boring by students. On the one hand, the programs we present often have an ugly aspect due to the fact that we use the command line interface (console) to communicate with user, and on the other hand, these programs tend to solve very simple problems that are usually...
In this paper, an approach to improve the students' autonomous learning is presented. In particular, we describe a platform used in the subject ldquoThe basics of computer architecturesrdquo. This subject is studied during the first year of the Bachelor Degree of Telecommunication Engineering (especiality in Telematics). This platform was designed to allow the students to work with a hypothetic computer...
The paper analyzes the successful and unsuccessful probability of the acquaintance immunization strategy by utilizing a simple example, and points out the possible reasons of invalidation of this method. To enhance the successful probability of the acquaintance immunization strategy for complex network, a common acquaintance immunization strategy which looks for the common neighbors of randomly chosen...
Recent studies in education for children with autism demonstrated that computer assisted learning can increase children's narrative understanding. However, software interfaces which include autonomous intelligent agents have yet to be explored in this context. In this paper we investigate how a narrative storytelling environment which is populated with virtual characters may help children with autism...
Since 1990s, with the rapid development of Chinese economy, the desire for college education has been flourished increasingly. Consequently, the time that teacherspsila contact with their students has been reduced accordingly, as a result, teachers have an urgent task to assist studentspsila autonomous English learning. In order to achieve this aim, teachers have to make efforts both in class and...
This paper tries to probe into the effect of the Self-access Center of Huazhong University of Science and Technology on improving non-English major college studentspsila listening ability employing many concepts of self-assess language learning, a way of autonomous learning. Both qualitative and quantitative research methods are used to analyze the results. While the studentspsila listening ability...
The 21st century has witnessed the widespread use of computer technology. A lot of universities have incorporate computers into foreign language teaching and learning. Researches have put more emphasis on the study of the feasibility and validity of computer-assisted foreign language learning (CALL). However, few have been involved into its role of teachers, still less the role of translation teachers...
Analyzing collaboration data can help revealing important aspects of the collaboration. The results can be used to support both teacherspsila intervention and studentspsila self regulation. This paper presents a social network analysis method to support collaborative learning, using a collaborative knowledge building system as an example. The details of the network analysis process and its integration...
The prompt Interactive Response System (IRS) on the class which faces all the students, can not only enrich teaching measures in the practice process, but also deepen the application of modern education technology in class teaching. It can improve and enhance the communication and interaction which exists between teacher and students as well as among students in class teaching activity. It resolves...
E-learning is different from traditional face-to-face education because it neither requires the teacher or the student to be in the same place, and often, not at the same time. This is accomplished is through digital technologies. This paper discusses e-learning with network technology as a teaching tool for college students. With the rapid development of Internet, network technology plays a more...
Memory management concepts are one of the topics taught in the course of Operating Systems as part of the syllabus for the Computer Science and IT majors. This course consists mostly of theoretical lectures and does not guarantee full understanding and absorption of the many concepts introduced. Some statistics on recent student achievement on this topic clearly shows that there are some problems...
Computer-mediated communication (CMC) has been a `hot' topic in computer-assisted language learning (CALL); however, its effectiveness remains uncertain. This article reviews the nature of CMC, pinpoints strengths and weaknesses of incorporating it into language learning, considers factors that may affect the quality of CMC, and identifies possible direction for future studies. The author argues that...
ldquoCollege Fundamentals of computerrdquo is a compulsive subject of students in the non-computer majors of college and universities. In this paper, it analyzes the status of the college computer public course in the request of quality-oriented education. And find several practical and feasible teaching methods.
This paper presents the experience of students enrolled in a graduate Math course, in which a specific virtual environment for collaboration, based on team accelerated instruction (TAI) specifically adapted for virtual synchronous and asynchronous contexts supported by Internet was analyzed and evaluated. Preliminary results of the application of a particular quantitative methodology developed specifically...
Arts student -oriented computer education for the majority of colleges and universities, is a difficult task. By analyzing the characteristic of the arts students -oriented computer education, a new train of thought that using a computer-assisted assessment and diagnosis system (CAAD) as the learning environment for arts students in order to promote learning with automatic evaluation and supplement...
Online education is considered not equivalent to conventional education as student learning may not be on same quality. Literature guided that studentpsilas learning depends on various factors including quality of the training material provided in online education system. In Pakistan, certain universities are offering online education degree programs. The selected quality of training material as independent...
