For admissions in various graduate schools and colleges. There are some mobile applications available for GRE preparation. Those applications consists of only words with their corresponding synonym which are not very effective as they to lack to provide tricks for easy remembrance of the GRE words and there is no specialized categorization of the words and they neither provide any interesting verbal...
Educators are facing the challenge to use the learning potential of games from several complementary objectives. Above all, they need to develop their own competencies and critical thinking on games. The overarching framework for a fruitful answer to this challenge could be structured around a particular type of literacy, the so-called gaming literacy. This new type of literacy seeks to provide a...
The paper summarizes success stories of Finnish and Russian research organizations that joined forces towards development of leading-edge ICT competences and their use in multidisciplinary applications. The partner organizations from both countries have developed close collaboration framework, which enabled them to implement three crossborder cooperation projects co-funded by the Karelia ENPI CBC...
This study explores how teachers' attitudes and competencies influence their willingness to adopt mobile learning approaches. By mobile learning we mean teaching approaches that use mobile devices to enliven and extend traditional teaching. Of particular interest is exploring how first-order (e.g. lack of adequate access, time, training and support) and second-order (e.g. teacher's pedagogical and...
The research study investigates the development approach and analyses of m-learning course management system developed as case study. The contribution of the research study is the analyses of the task based instructional strategy and conceptual definition of the assessment methods regarding the level of mobile learning outcomes while assessing different software engineering aspects of development...
Since the contents stored in the web increases rapidly, we need to have an efficient search engine that retrieves the information as per the users interest and preference. So we propose a mobile search engine that personalizes users search with the help of the query that the user types and their click through activities. In mobile search engines location plays an important role, so we classify the...
Tablets are mobile technology that offers students a more stimulating experience with portable, engaging, and interactive tools. Although tablets are increasingly being integrated into K-12 classrooms, it will be impractical if teachers do not apply the right teaching methods for tablet integration into the curriculum. The question of how to create an effective technology training program for teachers...
Therapist-assisted body weight supported (TABWS) gait rehabilitation was introduced two decades ago. The benefit of TABWS in functional recovery of walking in spinal cord injury and stroke patients has been demonstrated and reported. However, shortage of therapists, labor-intensiveness, and short duration of training are some limitations of this approach. To overcome these deficiencies, robotic-assisted...
With the gradual expansion scale of mobile intelligent terminals and the popularity of social networks, information exchange among mobile users shows the social characteristics. This article takes the same interest information among users to define the social relationship metrics such as contact frequency, contact strength and contact regularity etc. A ranking information forwarding algorithm with...
Shortage of adequately trained faculty members for special education is a major bottleneck in India, in providing the optimum level of training to the intellectually challenged children[1]. We have developed and implemented a facility, covering 100 schools for the intellectually challenged children, spread across the four southern states of India, to provide continuing education for their teaching...
In this paper, the problem of Received Signal Strength (RSS)-based WLAN positioning is newly formulated as a deconvolution problem and three deconvolution methods (namely Least Squares, Weighted Least Squares and Minimum Mean Square Error) are investigated with several RSS path loss models. The deconvolution approaches are compared with the fingerprinting approach in terms of performance and complexity...
Skill level estimation is very important since it allows an instructor, a human or an artificial instructor through an intelligent tutoring system, to predict the level of a student and adjust the learning materials accordingly. In this paper, a new approach based on 1-NN (First Nearest Neighbor) is introduced to determine the skill level of a student based on the pattern of skill levels learned over...
We developed a new whole body motion support type mobile suit. This suit can be used separately for supporting the upper and/or lower limbs, for assisting ADL (Activities of Daily Living). We also developed a mobile lifter system which can bear both the equipped person and the suit. This suit and the lifter can be used by motor palsy patients suffering from stroke, spinal-cord-injury, and central...
In order to meet the learning need of teacher professional development, mobile learning resources and platform construction has attracted the attention of researchers. This paper researches mobile learning resource platform function, including teachers' learning needs analysis, building and sharing resources, by the mobile terminal device, teachers obtain mobile learning resources through the form...
This paper present a case study report on the findings of an empirical study conducted at the Central University College (CUC) in Ghana on the use of “OUTSTART” AD-CONNECT mobile learning (m-learning) application for authoring m-learning content. The system use the familiar Microsoft power point with an added features which comes with authoring tools which is simple to use by teachers for creating...
TecDigital is the e-learning project of the Costa Rica Institute of Technology (TEC). This paper describes the main characteristics of TEC Digital as a successful case study of e-learning integration in higher education in Costa Rica. In particular, the paper describes TEC Digital objectives and organization, development stages, instructor involvement approach, projects and training, institutional...
This paper sets out to provide a preliminary guidance on developing mobile language learning applications, with consideration for using multimedia. A set of initial findings are presented from a small-scale pilot learner study, along with other considerations from findings in the literature. These preliminary guidelines could be further developed in later iterations to provide an overall framework...
This paper studies Ethernet based I/O systems in industrial applications. This study is involved in CoNeT, the European Union funded project, which stands for Cooperative Network Training. The project aims at training of automation engineers, maintenance engineers, process workers and students both graduate and undergraduate in modern wired and wireless industrial network technology applied to control...
Classroom response systems (CRSs) present a class of tools which can enhance interactivity not just during the process of classroom teaching, but during lecturing in general. CRSs can provide the lecturer with valuable information about how the audience is following his lecture, based on which he can adapt the course of the lecture or correct misunderstood concepts as they are detected. AuResS, a...
As a new informal learning mode, mobile learning can meet learners learning need at anywhere, anytime, at the same time it can adapt to learner's lifelong learning demand. Based on the introduction of mobile learning definition and characteristics, the author analyzed the characteristics of mobile learning theory, put forward a new mobile learning application model which combining the feature of learning...
