This paper studies the impact of infusing the Calculus II curriculum at Diablo Valley College with collaborative activities based on wireless tablet technology. Under a 2005 HP Technology for Teaching grant, students used Tablets to record and analyze data collected in labs, access Web based Mathematica notebooks and Java applets, collaborate, give class presentations, and report on field trips to...
This WIP paper reports the status of a collaborative project involving five universities, namely, Arizona State University (ASU), the University of Washington, Bothell (UWB), the University of Texas at Dallas (UTD), the University of Rhode Island (URI), and the University of Central Florida (UCF). The proposed project involves several educational technology innovations that involve software development,...
In the paper a Web based teaching of pulse width modulation (PWM) methods for three-phase bridge converters is presented. In the first part the basic methods of PWM: carrier based sinusoidal (CB-SPWM), carrier based PWM with zero sequence signal (CB-ZSS-PWM), and space vector modulation (SVM) are discussed. Special emphasis is given to relations between CB-ZSS-PWM and SVM. In the second part selected...
Recently it has been recognized that complex networks are powerful models for unified analysis of a wide range of systems in society and nature. In order to organize an updated lecture of the complex networks in university course, we are developing a new learning system for the complex networks by combining information technology, such as WEB, to traditional way of education. Our new learning system...
The rapid increase of e-learning resource makes it difficult to make, find access and reuse useful resource. To solve the problem, we develop a standardized content service system (SCSS) for distributed learning resource. The system is based on J2EE technology and Web services. It can provide the service for the conversion of non-standard resource and the development of standard resource. It also...
CSCL practice and dissemination are problematic due to the lack of technical and pedagogical expertise, concrete training, and support for teachers. This paper describes a technological approach for making CSCL practice and adoption easier. A powerful workflow-enabled CSCW Web platform hosts virtual communities for designing, executing and tutoring CSCL sessions, analyzing their results, and debating...
The large diffusion of the distributed measurement systems (DMS) aims to providing innovative solutions to different situations which appear for both industrial and educational applications. Consequently, advanced hardware platforms and innovative software architectures are demanded. In these situations, the development of novel approaches in software and hardware tools for DMS has fundamental importance...
This paper introduces a Bluetooth-based e-learning system, which enables mobile learning from anywhere using a variety of devices, including cell phones, PDAs, and laptops. Different from current e-learning systems, which require the access to the Internet or other pre-established networks, the Bluetooth-based e-learning system can establish a wireless network on the spot in an ad hoc fashion. To...
When global economy affects the employment patterns and the professional life of CSET graduates, courses that provide students with marketable skills become attractive. However, the rapidly emerging area creates new pedagogical challenges. For example, teaching the course of Web services with XML and SOAP faces the problems of too many Web standards and constantly changing course materials. This paper...
The paper deals with an eTool for teaching and application of the wrapper architecture for a core embedded in a digital system-on-chip. The Java language was selected for the tool implementation for its object-oriented structure and its usage via Internet. The software tool consists of two parts - wrapper architecture learning module and automatic wrapper structure generation module
Every modern institution involved in higher education needs a learning management system (LMS) to handle learning and teaching processes. It is necessary to offer e.g. electronic lecture materials to the students for download via the Internet. In some educational contexts, it is also necessary to offer Internet tutorials to be able to give the students more personal support and accompany them through...
