Compiler design is a course that discusses ideas used in construction of programming language compilers. Students learn how a program written in high level programming language and designed for humans understanding is systematically converted into low level assembly language understood by machines. We propose and implement a Case-based and Project-based Learning environment for teaching important...
Building on existing works that hold ‘learner engagement’ central to learning, this paper seeks to decode the constituents of student engagement in MOOC learning. Specifically we model the impact of preference for learning styles and the different motivations to learn on learner engagement in MOOCs. We propose that an inclination to learn new things, lifelong learning attributes and paying for a course...
In this paper, we describe and test a part of an active learning environment that is being used to engage and empower students' learning in a undergraduate engineering course. We developed a survey system, called Milsa, in order to insert questions and template answers, and to automatically correct the questions based on template answers. In Milsa, the students insert multiple questions and template...
In this study, a game integrated historical events were designed for improving and promoting students' motivation and understanding for history education. For this reason, the epistemological beliefs were incorporated in the model to explore students' digital games preference by applying technology acceptance model (TAM). A total of 112 fifth grade students in an elementary school were participated...
In this work, we describe an interdisciplinary teaching experiment involving three subjects of the scientific area of Mathematics and a fourth one in the area of Management. Using only one project, the students developed skills, in an integrated way, in the fields of the subjects involved. The structure of the project is described in detail. It is shown how the knowledge obtained in the different...
This paper describes the experience of introducing remote laboratories at the Universidad del Bío-Bío (UBB). Remote laboratories are a common resource for practical activities employed by universities. This method offers a flexible time access to best utilize the available laboratory equipment. The laboratory experiences allow to identify and control physical devices remotely. Some universities possess...
Modern control system analysis and design uses state space methods to develop models of both physical systems and their respective controllers. However, teaching state space to undergraduate students is often difficult due to the mathematical complexity and lack of visual validation when compared to classical control system design. The authors in this paper have employed state space analysis to design...
Mobile educational applications include some of the most useful learning tools that have ever been developed. Games for learning are most effective when multiple sessions are involved, in other words, when users replay the games. Previous research on the use of educational games in mathematics education have focused primarily on the learning potential of these games and have not adequately addressed...
The author has organized the project activities of computer modeling in teaching physics for IT students at the Novosibirsk State Technical University. The students' teams develop soft-ware products that are virtual counterparts of experimental setups. The developed programs can be used as interactive virtual labs that enhance the physics laboratory practicum. Participation in the project activities...
A study is presented aimed at discovering the prime factors that affect the number of suicides in certain regions of India in the year 2011 and subsequently using them to predict the number of suicides in the future. This prediction of suicides can help in making governing decisions in the affected regions such as promoting education and reworking existing facilities. The features in the study refer...
The tool TransPlaceSim was created for secure, easy to use and easy to extend tool to create, simulate and evaluate Petri net models. The paper deals with a new form of evaluation added to this tool which is evaluation of fuzzy Petri nets. In the first part, there are descriptions of Petri nets, fuzzy logic and possibilities of using fuzzy logic in teaching. Consequently, the tool TransPlaceSim is...
Having scientific publications is an evidence of a lecturer's efforts to fulfill the obligation to carry out research activities as one of the three obligations of Higher Education in Indonesia, i.e. education and teaching, research, and community service. The objective of this research is to evaluate the determinant factors of publication in Scopus by Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS) lecturers...
Recently, there are huge number of researches focusing on development of teaching tools to enhance learning result. However, for some courses, they require a novel system to enhance learning environment. This research focuses on geography course in the use of color and contour lines in height differentiation according to altitude terrain. We implement an augmented reality sandbox to be an interaction...
The paper, based on the current researches on the regulation and control of digital cognitive competence by transcranial direct current stimulation (TDCS), adopts stimulation device developed by Tsinghua University to launch the analysis experiment of cognitive behaviors aiming at the key problem of the application effects of TDCS, compares the influences of stimulating electrode parameters on digital...
In this paper, we consider some educational aspects related to mathability. Our main goal is to approach an answer to the question what are computer assisted ways to assimilate mathematical knowledge and possess mathematical abilities.
Objective: Whole-cell (WC) modeling is a promising tool for biological research, bioengineering, and medicine. However, substantial work remains to create accurate comprehensive models of complex cells. Methods: We organized the 2015 Whole-Cell Modeling Summer School to teach WC modeling and evaluate the need for new WC modeling standards and software by recoding a recently published WC model in...
Modern databases are crucial components of quality management systems according to the requirements of ISO 9001:2015, but their design and maintenance need significant resources. Despite the fact that modern databases are a key factor of management decision making, not all organizations can spend sufficient resources on their development what results in the necessity to find a model for database maintenance...
This paper explores the effectiveness of interactive simulation for teaching a selected complex subject, Ecology, in higher education. Specifically, we carry out a lab intervention using interactive agent based simulation, to teach the complex concept of spatially-explicit predator prey interaction to undergraduate students of an advanced module: BIOU9CE (Community Ecology & Conservation Applications)...
Most engineering schools offer the first Automatic Control course in 6th or 7th semester of the curriculum. The students taking this course have already a background on linear algebra, differential equations and signals & systems. The first Automatic Control course used to cover the same topics yet the style of instruction in this paper is a Matlab based one. The strengths, weaknesses, opportunities...
Nowadays, instructors have many different methodologies to assess students. Formative and summative models are mainly applied to multiple combinations independently of the learning environment (on-site, online or blended). When we move to an adaptive learning, students are assessed depending on the selected learning path and the scheduled assessment activities. The adaption tends to be in the learning...
