Management Information System (MIS) is the core course of management specialty in colleges and universities. However, during the process of developing teaching activities, the effect of experimental teaching is not perfect due to the limitations of teaching mode and teaching means. The paper analyzes characteristics and content of MIS course and discusses network multimedia technology and advantages...
Using computers in ESL classroom is important for both teachers and learners. Modern technologies dramatically changed global communication and had a profound effect on all aspects of language use. Teaching English in Iranian EFL context, however, fails to develop English proficiency for communication. This study set out to explore the impact of computer-assisted instruction on reading comprehension...
E-learning is a subject of interest in HCI research where issues of design and usability are heavily addressed. However, the strategic implementation of e-learning goes beyond design and usability issue and has to take into account broader issues that are of relevance to business and management of the education provider. This view is also a concern of the MIS interest group of HCI who seeks to understand...
Usability testing has traditionally been conducted in dedicated laboratory. Alternatively, field study can be an option to conduct the usability testing. As HCI researchers who work with children, we have experiences in conducting usability tests in both natural and laboratory environments. We tested two different children applications in two different environments: testing drawing applications at...
The purpose of this study was to measure the quality of collaborative and individual learning in a virtual learning environment and to further determine factors that enhance or hinder quality of students' learning. This research was based on two similar case studies within the same electronic learning environment. A qualitative approach was taken to the collection and interpretation of the data, as...
These days, communications technology has found its way not only in education but also in people's every day life. In fact, if there is no computer, one can hardly do his daily routines including letter writing and correspondence with ease and satisfaction. Keyboard and screen have taken the place of paper and pencil. One can find just a bunch of flyers in the post boxes, but rarely letters. The purpose...
In this paper, we present how a university study portal was enhanced by adding social computing elements to it, such as the possibility to create study groups, comment upon lectures, exercises and other users' activity, chat, publish information and others. These added interactivity to the formerly used portal, which was already very popular among the students of Aalto University in Helsinki. The...
This article focuses on automatic extraction of course ontology from Chinese textbook. In this article we construct the models of textbook and concept, propose a method of automatic extracting course ontology. Then experiment with the textbook "Discrete Mathematics" have been down with GATE tool. Experimental results show that the models and method we proposed can effectively extract course...
With the development of information technology, modern instructional technologies, such as E-Learning and M-Learning, are having a profound impact on higher education. They can be used by faculty to do their jobs easier, better, faster and more effectively, enhance learning and benefit both students and teachers. Every year, higher education institutions make a large investment in them. However, faculties...
Interactive Educational Mode which emphasizes various kinds of actions during teaching process is targeted at cultivating students' discovery, analyzing and solving problem, improving autonomous learning ability and fostering the mode of incentive thinking, in a large extent, it embodies the "double-subject" position. However, as a new information technological tool, electronic interactive...
The paper deals with the structure and the properties of a system implementing the remote laboratory, in the technical area, for university purposes. This system was intended for remote experiments on physical objects, but it allows virtual experimentation, too. The main contribution is the original software written for this laboratory, created by the authors and tested in the university. The key...
Interactive teaching pattern can stimulate students' interest in learning, and converts the mechanical drilling process into a flexible application. This measure provides a strong guarantee to the deployment of the class teaching. At same time urge the students to study automatically. In this progress, the computer should play the role of media in the process of this kind of teaching. We designed...
Secondary technology education on the Chinese mainland and in Hong Kong is confronted with the big rebuilt and challenge. Many teachers in these two regions received teacher education such a long time ago that their knowledge of the subject is not up to date and especially on the Chinese mainland most of them are from other disciplines. Moreover, due to the lack of a formal system of technology teacher...
This paper reviews the design education environment in Chinese mainland. Based on this review, it discusses how to use social networking to support design instructions. With the study on the relationship between social networking and education, this research provides insights on how to support design education by creating an integrated web-based pedagogical model.
In combination with the characteristics of adult education, this paper presents the design and implementation of an virtual practical platform for adult education based on internet.

It is valuable to those who intend to develop adult education, advocate lifelong learning, but have no space and financial resources to build practice...
Chemistry is not an easy subject to learn. Many people regard chemistry as being too hard, too abstract, too mathematical, and only for very bright students. As a result, a negative attitude has developed about chemistry with students claiming chemistry is boring. Besides, most of the chemical concepts articulated by macroscopic, microscopic, and symbolic. This led to conflict and confusion in learning...
Recently computers have proved to be great tools for different kinds of collaborative works. The use of computer in integrated learning system poses a challenge when is used to support collaborative learning activities for students while they sit in front of computer screens. Interactive Whiteboard (IWB) technology enhances this challenge by providing a large workspace with multimedia resources. Therefore,...
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between ICT integration into English as a foreign language (EFL) classes in Iran and EFL teachers' personal characteristics (age, gender, and teaching experience) and technology-related characteristics (frequency of computer and internet use, level of IT literacy, and attitude). Data were collected from 254 Iranian EFL teachers using ICT integration...
The Real Time Interactive Lecture Delivery System (RTILDS) project is motivated by the need to increase students' interaction with the lecturer in real time during a lecture. The completed system comprises of a website that maintains profiles of lecturers and lecture material (presentations, quizzes, student feedback, etc.). When the system is used at a lecture hall, the lecturers are allowed to choose...
A great deal has been written about the use of web-based technologies such as the Internet in promoting learning in education. In this paper, we seek to understand the quality characteristics of online distance learning from the perspectives of instructor and student, and also to evaluate the usability of the learning mode. The findings of the study suggest instructor characteristics and student characteristics...
