Greedy algorithms is an important class of algorithms. Teaching greedy algorithms is a complex task. Ensuring that students can design greedy algorithms for new problems is also complex. We have built a guided discovery based greedy algorithm tutor (GATutor), to teach the process of designing greedy algorithms. GATutor guides the student to discover the greedy algorithm for a few well-known problems,...
MathLexic is a multimedia application that is designed to improve mathematical skills of dyslexic children. This research is focused on integration of multimedia elements and implementation of multimedia principles in the application, which is intended to deliver an attractive and acceptable multimedia mathematical application for dyslexics. The application allows dyslexics to interact with the tutorials...
In today many students produce a wrong and illegible handwriting. The traditional approach for handwriting teaching needs a long hour of handwriting practice, and teacher needs a lot of time to check the handwriting errors. Unfortunately, this is not feasible in many cases. In this paper, we introduce an automated educational tool for Arabic Handwriting detection errors, such as the stroke production...
We investigated online astronomy news, exploited the individual space concept, and developed a news timeline to construct an interactive astronomy visualization system that integrates time and spatial concepts. Before constructing our system, we referred to the essential factor of astronomy news display modes and chose well-known astronomy Web sites as the survey objects. We investigated news interfaces...
With development of information technology, it is much easier for people to see wide use of modern information technology in nearly every field. As for linguistic teaching field, multimedia aided instruction(MAI) has been applied frequently in recent years. The author has investigated real condition of its application in some universities, and thus she finds out some advantages and disadvantages of...
The tablet PC (TPC) is quickly becoming a widely used tool for engineering education. However, as with any new education initiative, care must be taken to introduce this properly. This paper will present the lessons learned from the experiences of two first-time TPC users in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at the University of Toronto. The courses were a second-year differential...
Thanks to the attractions of the multimedia, namely interactivity and multimodality, it seems that web sites and CD-ROMs have the capacity to transmit heritage information to the public. But ultimately they miss real cognitive or educational purposes. Consequently, this article suggests enriching the conception of educational products, combining the potential of video games with the methods of representation...
