The Open University of Israel offers a program of study for Computer Science graduates towards a high school Teaching Certificate in Computer Science. The program is unique in that it enables studying towards the certificate in a distance learning environment and therefore can be pursued by people who wish to combine further education with careers and personal responsibilities. In this paper we describe...
Incorporating hardware such as circuits with elements like sensors and actuators into online education platforms presents significant challenges, particularly when the learner and educator are not in the same location as one another. Open-ended design questions, can increase the challenges associated with assessment further still. In the past two years, we have been experimenting with ways to integrate...
Colleges and universities are entering a new age where the learning process is no more within the classroom. This learning is enriched by new instructional technologies and online interaction that enables the spectrum of in-classroom through distance learning. Students benefit from the ability to choose the mix of course types that best fits their learning style and availability of time. The primary...
According to statistics, the number of elementary schools containing less than 200 pupils reached 1,264 in 2015. Assessment results presented by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) suggested an uneven distribution of learning resources between urban and rural areas, underscoring the difficulties of increasing technology literacy in rural areas as well as the importance...
The International Engineering Alliance lists 12 important graduate attributes that students must demonstrate during their higher educational career. One of these important graduate attributes is the ability to solve problems, which can be demonstrated by the use of project-based learning, case studies, and practical workshops. The purpose of this paper is to highlight student academic results of practical...
Success within the distance learning paradigm typically requires a strong intrinsic motivation on the part of the learner. This motivation needs to be matched with effective delivery of engaging course content. Developing an active engagement environment for deep learning is a nontrivial task as the instructor is not physically present. To address the concern in an online/blended delivery model, we...
The rise of eLabs (remote labs and virtual labs) in which access to hardware is abstracted; the students and the teachers are left with a simulator or software like experimentation. You give this system a set of inputs and then the user gets to see a live feed of the experimentation happening and when it is done the results are delivered to the user. This project aims to design and eventually build...
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...
Australia is in the grip of a teacher shortage. One way to assist in the supply of sufficient qualified school teachers is through the provision of initial teacher education (ITE) at a distance. Advancements in learning technologies are rapidly transforming distance-delivered ITE, enabling the reimagining and redesigning of open and distance learning (ODL). Unsurprisingly, the new and flexible teaching...
Including social networking in e-learning platforms enhances and empowers collaboration, knowledge sharing, and knowledge capturing. This new technology brings new learners into the culture of the institutions, the new generation of people is very demanding in terms of development and the use of new technologies for everything in their lives, so to foster the loyalty of younger generation they must...
The communication that we propose is based on the quality of the care ofthe teaching of transversal matter in the higher education (university) and the impact of e-learning on this issue which is crucial with regard to the teachings fluidity as well as the effect on the quality of the latter. We will try to show the interconnections between these two aspects and the effects brought by the Technologies...
Many colleges and universities are initiating or expanding their online degree programs. The shift in course delivery mode requires new approaches to assuring academic quality. To achieve continuous improvement in Information and Communication Technologies (specifically online learning), a research-based training, mentoring, and evaluation system was designed by a faculty team at Park University (USA)...
The paper deals with a problem of searching a suitable form of modern language learning for a specific target group. The technical core of the solution should be the usage of information and communication technologies (ICT). The problem is solved from the point of view of the Department of communication and information systems. The starting point of the paper is a characteristic of the specified target...
The distance learning is a teaching mode in which the actors are spatially and/or temporally separated and the educational-didactical mediation in the teaching-learning processes happens with the support of the ICTs (information and communication technologies). The spatial and temporal parting between the agents represents a challenge to be overcome, highlighting as fundamental aspects the strategies...
An executive software engineering program-developed to meet regional workforce needs-affords cohorts of students the opportunity to complete their Master's degree within one calendar year. This innovative program was designed with several objectives. Custom elective tracks were integrated to better meet needs within diverse application areas, such as healthcare, transportation, and the insurance industry...
Recently, e-learning platforms have been used in afterschool tutoring programs for rural schools in Taiwan. This study investigated the effects of applying one-on-one online tutoring in an afterschool program in an elementary school. The program of tutoring the subject of language arts lasted for 14 weeks. Ten tutees participated in this program. A questionnaire was administered to the tutee to gain...
This paper overviews the spectrum of robotics programs at the Israel National Museum of Science, Technology and Space (MadaTech), including exhibitions for visitors and educational activities at the Gelfand Center for Model Building, Robotics & Communication. We present the 2010 robotics program and describe in detail the innovative nationwide robotics competition “OlympiYeda” developed through...
The main goal of the Project Experiment@Portugal is to produce a complete survey of Portuguese developments in remote and virtual labs. This knowledge will provide the conditions for joining forces in order to organize a well structured national website integrating a database of available remote and virtual experiments, categorized for sharing purposes, and looking for delivering valuable contents...
This paper presents a new framework to automatically evaluate the students' learning in the context of a subject focused on the configuration of network services. Unlike traditional platforms based on theoretical content, our automatic system will be able to immediately assess students' practical skills and, as a consequence, provide them with feedback about the correctness of their activities. Furthermore,...
