The paper explains the effectiveness of flexible learning methodology in engineering courses. This is an attempt to explore the traditional educational methods and to discuss the implications of flexible learning tools in engineering courses. It takes into account the latest application of Web 2.0 and other relevant techniques as well as components of delivery and material and resources needed. The...
Learning ecological science content and inquiry strategies should increasingly use the new tools from science - sensors for data capture, information visualization for data-analysis, low-cost mobile computers and mobiles for field-based science. The LET's GO! project seeks to develop, implement, research, and sustainably scale a new paradigm for fostering high school student learning in teams for...
This paper looks at how mobile and social technologies are influencing informal learning in the context of online community membership. The development of mobile technologies that use Global Positioning System (GPS) data to pinpoint geographical location together with the rapidly evolving Web 2.0 technologies supporting the creation and consumption of content suggest a potential for collaborative...
E-Learning makes it possible for learners to study at any time. With the improvement of ubiquitous technologies and corresponding devices, learners can conduct their learning activities without any limitations from the environment. Instructors can utilize various kinds of resources to create more plentiful learning materials for learners. In this situation, instructors or learners have to spend more...
A novel learning tool based on the new paradigm well-known as Edutainment using mobile technologies is deployed. The developed tool moves the issue of education to the context of entertainment. This paradigm ensures that education is seen as an activity that provides entertainment and excitement pleasure. This characteristic gives to lifelong learning an added value. Considering that the mobile-phone...
Educators have proposed the perspective of collaborative learning for a long time. However, the philosophy of collaborative learning needs the technical support. Web2.0 tools are such Technical support which may meet needs of collaborative learning. The paper mainly discusses how to implement collaborative learning from the practice level in the era of Web2.0. Take three applications for example,...
In the article the didactic and methodical principles of multimedia means implementation in the study process are reviewed, especially by foreign language learning. The role of material and technical basis, as one that provides the natural speech analogue, is described. The special attention is paid to the Internet-technologies implementation processes into the studying process, the positive sides...
In subjects, where a major part of the education is based on visual information, like geosciences, architecture or civil engineering, this information is often tied to a specific location. Field studies and excursions are thus an essential part of the education in such subjects. This paper describes an application designed to bring the advantages of collaborative, technology enhanced learning into...
Blogs have become a popular medium to support a community of learners. We have used the concept of a mobile community blog to support a class of students studying French at university. Based on the evaluation of the use of the blog by these students, we have extended the capabilities of the blog to provide better support for a community of learners and to create a sense of community among the learners...
