Last November 2013, a new conference about technological ecosystems for enhancing multiculturality (TEEM) was held at the University of Salamanca, Salamanca, Spain, connected with a new Ph.D. program about education in the knowledge society. This Ph.D. program and the TEEM conference present an interdisciplinary and multicultural approach to the challenges and solutions of problems in the knowledge...
Q-learning is a one of the best model-free reinforcement learning algorithms. The goal is to find an estimate of the optimal action-value function called Q-value function. The Q-value function is defined as the expected sum of future rewards obtained by taking an action in the current state. The main drawback of Q-learning is that the learning process is expensive for the agent, specially, in the...
Appropriately using information technology in kindergarten teaching is able to benefit for the development of young children, which requires kindergarten teacher has a certain educational technology literacy. This study used questionnaire to survey the level of kindergarten teachers' educational technology literacy situation. We choose 1,000 Henan rural backbone teachers who participate in the "National...
Learner's knowledge assessment is very important in the e-learning system. Knowledge assessment is effective for knowledge gap discovery. Knowledge gap, Causes the learners do not understand educational content correctly. This paper presents a new method for learner's knowledge modeling based on knowledge gap discovery for concepts of educational content. There are two methods for learner's knowledge...
This paper describes a cybersecurity and virus themed project within a high school biology classroom. The project was implemented as part of a yearlong partnership between the School District of Philadelphia and Drexel University and sponsored by the National Science Foundation grant for Graduate STEM Fellows in K-12 education. Students spent the school year learning about the behaviors of biological...
Software Engineering is about creating high-quality software in a systematic, controlled, and efficient manner. Although the Software Engineering discipline had been recognized since 1968, there is still no agreement among the Universities worldwide about what should be included in the Software Engineering curriculums or study plans. This problem has resulted in that different knowledge areas are...
Online communities are computer mediated, self-organizing, open networks where people voluntarily communicate and share knowledge. Knowledge sharing in online communities requires exerting time and effort and hence community members need motivation to contribute in these communities. Prior research identified numerous incentives that can motivate knowledge sharing in online communities such as self-efficacy...
Display Port is a powerful digital display interface to connect a video source to a display device, and Display Port can transmit audio and video with high effectiveness. In this Paper, we present a novel high-definition video monitor system based on Display Port. After a careful investigation of Display Port characteristics and high-definition video features, we propose a three-layered high-definition...
The education of engineering students focuses not only on acquiring facts and procedures, but more importantly on integrating and using those knowledge to analyze problems, evaluate solutions, etc. The evaluation of these skills using traditional e-assessments is mostly not possible and currently still left to traditional assessment methods. The authors of this paper recognized the need for new e-assessment...
In education of the students - future engineers need to focus on the development of their technical competence. It is important to form in the mind of the teachers and students a new perspective on the concept of “technical competence”, because now the competence is more than knowledge and skills in any area of study or profession.
There have been significant levels of research into how to use technology to teach programming principles. However, there has been less research to show how technology can be used to help teach network fundamentals in a creative way. Instead, simulation has been widely adopted as the main software tool when teaching networking concepts. In this paper we examine a more applied approach to help students...
Engineering systems include computation intelligence and knowledge representations with dynamically developing theoretical, methodological, and systemic background. This means that the wished case study and project based education of engineers can be extended to theory, methodology, and systemic parts of curriculum. A new requirement is to bring not only originally laboratory hours but also lectures...
This work highlights a program that pairs Drexel University graduate PhD students with School District of Philadelphia high school teachers through academic fellowship to enhance the math and science education of high school students through the context of the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) Grand Challenges while concurrently illustrating the global nature of these societal issues. An analysis...
Our intention is to study the teacher readiness to accelerating demands of the information society not only in education, but also in broader pedagogical and psychological contexts. We have in sight connections in which the current computer technology education and training for teachers and the multiple roles of information and communication technologies blend in new relationships and meanings. Our...
In view of "computer foundation" curriculum teaching characteristic and existing problems, this paper applying case teaching method to the teaching of "computer foundation". This article from the case teaching and case selection, organization, to explain a number of links are described, and the multiple times of teaching practice, obtained the very good teaching effect. Through...
In many universities, program design is a compulsory computer course. Because the traditional teaching mode has a certain shortcoming, so the learning interest of student is not high and the teaching effect is not good. Therefore, this paper introduced JiTT concept which appeared in the undergraduate teaching reform of United States University. Combining the features of programming, the author proposed...
With the computer-based teaching deepening of reform, this paper based on network test system open exam according to the different basic skills of computer professionals have different needs for maintenance, increased for different professions different operating question, the unification of principles and propositions propositional form, and test results were analyzed to prove that the hierarchical...
This article describes the functions and composition of the Blackboard Network teaching platform, as well as the platform constructing "University basic computer"teaching resources, the University basic computer courses completed in the blackboard online teaching from 2010 began the task of teaching, and in the process of teaching in the ongoing of teaching methods and teaching means to...
