The feature of the proposed computer assisted test system is to apply data mining technology to computer test analysis and intelligentizing it. It can help teachers analyze how well students understand the knowledge points in assignments and exams. It can also visualize the test points of each questions and error rates. The results obtained by the system can tell teachers which parts of teaching activities...
In this paper, through by using the AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) method's basic theory analysis in online-teaching platform, analyzing ability of students' self-learning, and establishing the evaluation index system, according to expert criteria derived the value of influence factors. With it calculated every level index's weight by using the square root method, and implements the weight by given...
Data mining techniques have been applied to educational research in various ways. Given a large sample of learning logs, it is common for sequential mining to return a large number of patterns, only a portion of which are educationally meaningful. In this paper, we proposed a constraint-based pattern filtering method to help researchers discover meaningful, interpretable, and relevant patterns by...
The following topics are dealt with: job satisfaction, image compression; synergy banking operation; automobile manufacturing enterprise reverse logistics; e-learning; supply chain; government innovation; knowledge management; Web-based small and medium enterprises; China mobile communication corporation; automated warehouse; Web service; text mining; and greenhouse gas emission.
Many studies already indicated that cooperative learning can promote learners' interest than learning process purely based on individual competition, so that learners could get more enthusiastic while they can get involved in learning activities. Nevertheless, cooperative learning usually groups students by means of random or normal distribution approach, it is not a thoughtful means for learners...
We report on the recent activities of PRISM, an electronic hub to support integration of digital resources into 6th - 12th-grade STEM classrooms for Indiana teachers. Specifically, this presentation gives a description and a preliminary assessment of the efficacy of integrating a course management system (Moodle) into a range of 6th - 12th grade content courses.
We document how Web 2.0 tools such as Wiki can be used to enhance peer to peer learning. As is commonly known, note-taking abilities vary among the students and that bad class notes exacerbates the problem of low comprehension or even wrong understanding of essential concepts. One tempting solution to address this is to hand out instructor notes/slides to the class or to assign students to scribe...
Current opportunities for students to improve their knowledge in a certain domain (e.g. computer science) through interaction with computer-based educational environments are increasing. The large number of students using such systems and their different knowledge and goals motivate the use of technologies to provide personalized activities, resources, and content to the students. Such environments...
We have developed and deployed T-Buddy system which is a social networking platform that significantly enhances the students' comprehension of the class material by promoting collaborative learning outside the classroom setting. T-Buddy system includes an online forum for posting comments on specific research topics posted by the students as well as a socializing medium that allows students to add...
This paper introduces a novel scheme to provide final year undergraduates with one-to-one mentoring by professional programmers, engineers and managers. The principal mode of communication between student and mentor is email, MSN or SKYPE. Discussions focus on the student's personal project. Volunteer mentors have been recruited using the alumni email list and from the members of a Microsoft SIG....
An emerging literature focuses on differences in learning style between the so-called millennial generation and preceding generations of students. Concurrently, engineering educators have developed a number of intuitions about millennial students, most with the common theme of lowered tolerance for lecture settings. Two current threads addressing the ??lower attention span problem?? are (a) approaches...
Using the tablet PC as a lecturing device offers the instructor a new set of tools upon which their teaching can be based. Since the general student body consists of many different types of learning styles, these new tools can provide a means to reach a wider range of students than the traditional blackboard-based lectures. However, as a first step towards assessing the effectiveness of the tablet...
This project aims to develop an online learning resource on small group work for undergraduate students. It has been targeted at Medical and Technology students in the first instance who will subsequently be asked to evaluate the resource. Over a period of 3 months students from different classes and a variety of settings were filmed extensively while engaged in group work. This has been transformed...
The iLOG Project (intelligent learning object guide) is designed to augment multimedia learning objects with information about (1) how a learning object has been used, (2) how it has impacted instruction and learning, and (3) how it should be used. The goal of the project is to generate metadata tags from data collected while students interact with learning objects; these metadata tags can then be...
This study focuses on the issue of how kanji learners mentally ??deconstruct?? a kanji as they view it and how they may update this visual deconstruction over time as they learn kanji. The research problem deals with the question of whether or not an innovative kanji learning approach, the ??learner's visualization (LV) Approach??, assists learners in significantly updating their personal kanji deconstruction...
A mentoring scheme was introduced, on an experimental basis, into a 4-year undergraduate Technology degree programme. Establishment of such a scheme was intended to benefit the development of students and encourage them to take more responsibility for their own learning. Students from all 4 years were required to participate and the mentors, students from years 3 and 4, were assessed. Motivating students...
It is often a daunting task for engineering students to learn programming. Learning by playing has proven to be an effective way to engage students at nearly all levels of the curriculum. In this work, we will describe how we developed modules for teaching MATLAB to freshmen engineers through the use of the Nintendo Wiimote and motion capture. Through the work of a summer REU project, we developed...
A computer-aided system for transformation of mathematical figures into tactile graphics is useful for the visually impaired when they learn mathematics and science. To develop such a system, a study of mathematical figure recognition techniques is needed. It is natural to assume that (1) a mathematical figure includes characters and mathematical formulas to explain lines or curves that are graphical...
We present the ??Lecomps?? Web-based e-learning environment, that automates the construction of adaptive personalized learning paths, tailored over learning goals, learner's knowledge and individual learning styles. A constraint logic based engine is used to perform the course construction and to support the teacher in the definition of the learning objects to be used (learning components). Learning...
The objective of the current study is to research, design, implement and test a tool that provides a repository of learning objects and records a profile of the learners, in order to deliver a customized version of the learning object to the learners taking into account their optimal learning profile and inclusive design in mind. The intention is to package and deliver content taking into account...
