Reforms in the educational system emphasize more on continuous assessment. The descriptive examination question paper when compared to objective question paper acts as a better aid in continuous assessment for testing the progress of a student under various cognitive levels at different stages of learning. Unfortunately, assessment of descriptive answers is found to be tedious and time consuming by...
Introducing an external user in the capstone design course can be beneficial for the students, but also brings several challenges. The user, who takes on the part of a customer that wishes to take possession of and use the designed product, helps ensure that the project is relevant, usable and within budget and timeline. He or she participates in setting specifications for the product and modifying...
As part of the ongoing Responsive AUV Localization and Mapping project (REALM) Memorial University has been developing an autonomous path localization and following system. This Qualitative Navigation System (QNS) localizes an AUV to a predefined path and generates control inputs to maintain the AUV along that path without the need for an absolute position estimate. QNS processes sonar data into the...
The growth of the Internet and related technologies has enabled the development of a new breed of dynamic websites, applications and software products that are growing rapidly in use and that have had a great impact on many businesses. These technologies need to be continuously evaluated by usability evaluation methods (UEMs) to measure their efficiency and effectiveness, to assess user satisfaction,...
ICT can contribute to the development and efficiency of education management and administration. Efforts to introduce ICT in teaching, learning and assessment aim to help meet a wide variety of goals in the education sector. This paper is based on a research project that was carried out in Strathmore University by @iLabAfrica, funded by the Kenya Education Network (KENET). The research was driven...
Crowd sourcing is changing the way people work and solve problems from "in-house working" to "public out-sourcing". Most online crowd sourcing platforms perform two main functions: (i) allowing users to advertise their tasks and (ii) helping them find candidate workers. However, they do not support crowd sourcing of complex work consisting of interdependent tasks. Those tasks require...
This paper provides interesting findings for modeling of a challenging and critical pedagogical issue namely online learning assessment of Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) analysis and evaluation. More precisely, in fulfillment of that issue's objective, this work suggests using a realistic Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model. That, explicitly, characterized by two learning paradigms: supervised...
The results of testing the algorithmic skills of the first year students of Informatics of the University of Debrecen is the main concern of this article. It was found that, in general, the students arriving from high schools have not developed algorithmic skills and have false view about Information and Computer Sciences. The most devastating results arrived from those students who passed middle...
In order to memorize information, humans use various methods: mnemonics, visualization and relating the information to already known information. Despite these efforts, memorizing information is a difficult task for humans. On the other hand, a computer can easily memorize information. Using this ability of computers, our research tries to make memorizing word meanings easier for humans. Humans need...
Program analysis is an important tool in software development, both for verifying desired properties and for enabling optimizations. For dataflow programs, properties such as determinacy and static schedulability are important for verifying correctness and creating efficient implementations. In this paper we develop an analyzer for dataflow actors, the computational units of a dataflow program, that...
This work addresses to problems in design and testing of the computer systems and their components, which are considered in content of natural development of the resources for solving these challenges. The resources are examined as target and natural. The target resources contain the models, methods and means. The natural resources are considered like their particularities. Development of the resources...
The detailed realization of VSAT satellite communication automated test system based on. Net platform is analyzed and discussed in this paper, focusing on design of the flexible and reliable testing process and deep analysis of the system expandability specific to the characteristic of the VSAT satellite communication system. Proved successfully in practice, the automated test system has reliable...
The evaluation of the students' knowledge is an essential part of the learning process. Currently, new technologies allow making on-line assessments, but this is not the favorite method for all the teachers. Specifically, written examinations are still widely used by many teachers to measure the knowledge level of their students. At the University of Vigo we have developed a platform to correct handwritten...
Test case prioritization techniques schedule the test cases in an order based on some specific criteria so that the tests with better fault detection capability are executed at an early position in the regression test suite. Many existing test case prioritization approaches are code-based, in which the testing of each software version is considered as an independent process. Actually, the test results...
Universality has long been an important standard to measure software. Universality means not only further applicability and the viability of transplant but also reduction of repeated development. The problem that discordance of different model of plane will surely catalyze the various simulation tasks will surely encounter. Current engineering flight simulation platform, in terms of functional versatility...
This paper gives a detailed report on the correlation analysis of computer-assisted oral English test achievements with computer preference on the case study of 131 non-English majors in Wuhan Polytechnic University. Statistical analysis indicates that there is no significant correlation between these two factors, however, those who don't prefer to have tests or study English on computers score much...
Brief description of the author's results of development of cognitive processes (CP) computer modelling concept on the basis of improving the methodology and expanding the area of using computer-based testing technology in education is suggested. The fundamental heuristics for formalizing: the concept of degree of difficulty of test tasks (TT); the degree of confidence of individual's CP concept;...
Civil Experimental System consists of electric-hydraulic servo-controlled machine and the data recorder in which the recorded data are saved. In Electro-hydraulic servo controller, a exterior trigger signal is used to remote control the data recorder working, and the problem of simultaneously data recording is solved by on-line processing of servo testing machine and data recorder, which quicken the...
This paper describes the effort of creating a joint international graduate program in the area of semiconductor product engineering and power electronics. As a first step, a joint summer course for undergraduate students is implemented with the intention to create a larger interest in the program among the current undergraduate population at Texas Tech University and the University of Applied Sciences,...
