Distance learning is essential for students in remote areas. According to some investigations, there are more and more students taking online courses using smart phones. Nevertheless, there is a risk of privacy violation, if the distance learning system is not properly designed. In this paper, we design a privacy preserving scheme for distant learning, in which students use smart phones to access...
The concept of distance learning system refers to the way of learning which is not in regular face-to-face method, but through any means of long distance communication. Realization of distance learning system in Indonesia is usually in one-way communication manner, that is, students can not directly interact with teachers. This paper describes the design and implementation of a web-based application...
The architecture of remote Education Resource Center for the students of engineering on the basis of data space is developed. The consolidated data catalog and the query processing schemes in data space are proposed.
This work describes one of the main Web based Control learning projects known as: The Design of Virtual Teaching in the Laboratory of Automatic Control, that is presently being developed by the Department of Processes and Systems of the Simón Bolívar University in Caracas-Venezuela. This project is mainly focused in developing more effective teaching methods by using interactive Web based experiences...
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...
For the past few decades, the area of higher education has been experiencing a time of complete transformation through the use of new and emerging technologies. The transformation of learning, teaching and the classroom depends completely upon the use of various technologies inside the classroom. E-Learning has become a new philosophy and standard in the area of education with the goal being to serve...
Difficulties on Internet access due to low quality or unstable connections, have became a main obstacle to LMS use in remote places, especially in geographical challenged regions as is the case of the Amazon. In this paper we present a scheme for overcoming these problems that is based on: (i) the use of a local server that (a) bypasses all tasks among users and the main server when in normal access...
Securing service and signalization is an important aspect in the IMS network (IP Multimedia Subsystem). The signaling is based mainly on SIP protocol (Session Initialization Protocol). This protocol presents several challenges in terms of security which induce security problems in IMS network. The paper presents an analysis of SIP protocol and identifies the critical security weaknesses during registration...
Great development in distance learning has been made in the two last decade; the principal reason for that is due to the rapid evolution of technology, the huge development of computer networks, the large use of internet and personal computers. The World Wide Web with its different web services offers learners and teachers' new ways of learning and teaching; students can study at their own pace and...
This paper shows some experiences and observations on distance education in teaching a Computer Networks course for Computer Science masters students in an US institution. Some lessons and effective strategies to better engage students are presented. Data has been collected to show the effectiveness of distance education in teaching the course. Students' performances for both on-campus and online...
Intelligent Computer Assisted Instruction(ICAI) is the developing tendency of Computer Assisted Instruction(CAI).By comparing CAI with ICAI, the paper shows the advantages of ICAI in the future. It introduces the composition and characteristic of long-distance ICAI system mode based on network, Open ICAI system mode and ICAI system mode based on super-multimedia technology. And this article prefers...
Blended Learning is a kind of strategy that implement teaching by comprehensive applying different learning theory, different techniques and tools, as well as the different application of methods. This paper elaborates the principle of blended learning and introduces the function of Database Principles and Applications online course. In addition, the paper discusses the instructional design of blended...
WebIDE is a new web-based development environment for entry-level programmers with two primary goals: minimize tool barriers to writing computer programs and introduce software engineering best practices early in a student's educational career. Currently, WebIDE focuses on Test-Driven Learning (TDL) by using small iterative examples and introducing lock-step labs, which prevent the student from moving...
This paper discusses a new technology for making electric and electronic circuit experiments remotely. Virtual Instrument System in Reality (VISIR) has been implemented at the Spanish University for Distance Education (UNED) for new engineering grade's distance laboratories. It gives a brief update of the project and its implementation, on the other hand, discusses its role at the Electrical and Computer...
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,...
Remote Laboratories constitute a first order didactic resource in engineering faculties. Their use from mobile devices to increase the availability of the experiments at the laboratory is a challenge highly coupled to the requirements established by each experiment. This paper will present and compare the main strategies for adapting a Remote Laboratory to mobile devices, as well as the experience...
This article presents a novel approach for distance management for e-learning platforms based on VeSMp protocol. VeSMEL results from the integration of VeSMp to xMoodle 2.0 platform that has been developed. It offers a compromise between the mobility of actors and the availability of xMoodle 2.0 content in zones where internet is inaccessible. The GSM system is used like support for communication...
The Game·Tel project has arisen as a way take advantage of the possibilities of gaming in collaborative learning environments. In this paper we study the platform developed for Game·Tel on the basics of recently published specification IMS Basic Learning Tools Interoperability. An analysis on the functionalities of Game·Tel brings up some requirements that cannot be fulfilled by IMS Basic Learning...
Distance learning uses the network digital system to send messages point-to-point or point-to-multipoint. Presently, distance learning has gained remarkable results in universities and colleges. This paper experiments the operation of P2P Live Media Stream, a distance video system based on P2P structure. In addition, we also compare it with Co-Life Video Conferencing System developed by the National...
