Clickers in classrooms have been shown to increase student engagement. With the emergence of touch-based smart devices, such as iPhones and iPads, there is a move towards migrating the functionality offered by the clickers to these advanced response systems. Apart from being a convenient alternative, do these advanced touch-based devices offer anything new with respect to student learning? For a start,...
These acts of jotting down the key points from a lecture or adding notation to handouts distributed for the lecture are what we mean by notetaking. The primary purposes of notetaking are two fold: it helps one understand the content of the lecture and also helps the student review and prepare for tests sometime after the lecture. With the rapid penetration of networks and proliferation of powerful...
The broad adoption of diagnostic and analytical techniques in the field of archaeology, presents a unique opportunity for e-Science in the form of scientific explanation, drawing from methodologies aimed at recording, archiving, analyzing, and disseminating, rich data collections. This paper presents a needed stepping stone towards cyber-archaeology, creating synergy between information technology...
This paper explains some existing challenges for network topology visualization. An XML schema for network topology description is proposed to achieve the interoperability between different network management applications. For the better understanding of networks, we use XSLT stylesheet to visualize XML topology descriptions as Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG). It has also been explored how to embed...
The random packing of particles is important to understand the properties of geological materials, especially unconsolidated sediments that are typically difficult to sample without destroying their structure. Computer simulation algorithms are now widely used to simulate the packing of granular materials but are computationally intensive- typically O(n3) - exercises that are especially complicated...
