Data mining has attracted a great deal of attention in higher education in recent years, not only in student's management, but also teacher's management, such as individualized personnel training, prediction and comparison on students' achievement, online teaching, teaching effectiveness evaluation, and so on. However, the research and application of data mining technology to teachers' position settlement...
System simulation may be used as a valuable exemplar of modeling in degree programs across a range of disciplines. This paper describes and discusses an approach to assessing learning in that domain, relating it to Bloom's and Biggs' taxonomies. It uses a miniproject, scenario concept, evaluated through oral examination. The scenario text and grading plan are included in the paper. The approach is...
Total quality management (TQM) originated in the 1950s to improve the organizational effectiveness and customer satisfaction in the manufacturing industry. TQM, a collection of principles, methods and best practices was aimed reducing waste and increasing the quality of the product. The key to successful implementation of TQM was total participation of all parties involved. Based on the success of...
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...
This paper reports on latest developments in our MoRob (Modular Educational Robotic Toolbox) project, which aims to provide solutions for a universal mobile robot platform to be used in a variety of engineering and science education scenarios in higher education. To provide a complete framework for educational robotics, we not only supply hardware and software components, but also look at concepts...
The following topics are dealt with: concepts and components for robots in higher education; an interactive online robotics course; sonar image quality assessment for an autonomous underwater vehicle; design of an efficient estimator of the tip position and orientation for nonlinear flexible robotic arms; genetic algorithms based multirobot trajectory planning; development of fuzzy control systems...
