An active learning strategy implemented in engineering classes is presented here. This method incorporates the benefits of flipped-classroom learning and quiz, but with few differences. This method is implemented in larger engineering classes of two different branches and two different years. The method of implementation and observations are presented. The relative advantages and cautioning for this...
K-12 teachers, especially the ones who teach reading and literacy, are expected to guide their students to read in order to learn. Teachers can promote good reading habits among K-12 readers by offering books that match their interests. Unfortunately, finding the right book for each individual or group of students is not an easy task due to the huge volume of books available these days that cover...
There are many technical books published each year, covering many fields from electronics, to botany, biology, zoology, and the list goes on. Each book is an opportunity awaiting someone, an opportunity to write a book review for organizations in which they hold membership. Many professional societies and other special interest groups have columns in their newsletters, journals, transactions, or similar...
The nonnegative least squares problems are useful in applications where the physical nature of problem domain permits only additive linear combinations. We discuss the l1-regularized nonnegative least squares (L1-NLS) problem, where l1-regularization is used to induce sparsity. Although l1-regularization has been successfully used in least squares regression, when combined with nonnegativity constraints,...
Innovative tools and teaching practices often fail to be adopted by educators in the field, despite evidence of their effectiveness. Naïve models of educational change assume this lack of adoption arises from failure to properly disseminate promising work, but evidence suggests that dissemination via publication is simply not effective. Instead of studying the adoption or rejection of a particular...
In this paper we will discuss teaching Software Engineering by using classroom teaching and web-based learning. The teaching assignments, notes, slides are also shared in a website while assessment is done one-to-one in viva or test conducted on the learning material. We are using Information and Communication Technology ICT for teaching. Software Engineering courseware are taught in B.Tech II year...
Creating entertaining and educational books not only requires providing visually stimulating content but also means for students to interact, create, and express themselves. In this paper we present a new type of mixed-reality book experience, which augments an educational coloring book with user-generated three dimensional content. We explore a “pop-up book” metaphor and describe a process by which...
In this paper we deal with estimating the ranks of library books in their expertise levels. The estimated ranking score is applicable to library-provided learning assistant service. Due to the advancement of information society, library is expected to change in order to meet the patrons' needs. Helping patrons with learning is a key service for libraries. We put emphasis on the learning material recommendation...
Musicologists who study medieval music manuscripts were up until recently required to travel to the libraries and museums where these documents or their fragments are physically held. Increasingly however, digital image archives provide resources that allow scholars to conduct much of their research through both the inspection and manipulation of digital images. These images effectively serve as proxies...
We describe the design, implementation, and evaluation of a comparative book reader that supports the scholarly activities deemed most important by cultural history scholars. A filmstrip metaphor allows rapid access to various components of the books. Parallel filmstrips allow comparison among multiple copies of the same title to fill in for missing pages or other maladies, and to study page-level...
Currently, the development of college public art education Appeared a good trend, But Some colleges didn't attach enough emphasis on it. Such as: the lack of relative stable teacher faculty; the lack of relative sound curriculum system; the lack of sound management and evaluation system of teaching. In view of the status we analyzed the problems and discussed the methods and suggestions on public...
Accounting Manual Silmulation Training course is a major course of accounting teaching in colleges and universities of China. It also plays a critical role in the practical courses. Among the current evaluation of the students' academic performance, there exists much overemphasis on the results of assessment, and ignorance of the process, lack of quantified evaluation criterion. Quantitative and qualitative...
Web data mining is a burgeoning technique of data analysis. This paper illustrates the relative theory of web data mining, points out the application feasibility of web data mining technology in the formulation of book purchase plans, and proposes book purchase strategy based on web data mining.
Chinese Academic Journal Web Publication Library and the books retrieved as a data source, with the bibliometric methods, the author statisticses and analyzes the books and the distribution about the research Papers on Library personalized service in 2000–2010 including Published time, journals, authors, subjects and so on, to understand the development Status about the field in the past 11 years,...
When teaching software engineering courses it is highly important to have good text books that are well-founded, up-to-date, and easily accessible to students. However, currently available text books on the market are either very broad or highly specialized, making it hard to select appropriate books for specific software engineering courses. Moreover, due to the rapidly changing subject of software...
Many libraries have large quantities of books that are rarely used. A practice that is becoming increasingly popular is to put them in remote repositories, which often only expedites their pace into oblivion. We call such collections static materials because of their extremely low usage rate. In this paper we propose a method which, through digitization, gives them a new life. Our approach starts...
This paper considers the problem of source code plagiarism by students within the computing disciplines and reports the results of a survey of students in Computing departments in 18 institutions in the U.K. This survey was designed to investigate how well students understand the concept of source code plagiarism and to discover what, if any, specific aspects might cause particular confusion. An analysis...
Despite a growing interest in design patterns by the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) community, an interaction pattern collection that is universally accepted is yet to be found. Such a collection would aid the design of pervasive computing systems, in which interactions occur in both the material and logical worlds. This paper first seeks to define interaction patterns by adopting a model that captures...
This paper analyzed the current development of electronic teaching materials, and probed into the restricting elements of the development: digital copyright protection, readability and multi-format support. Also, it reviewed the current readers' digital rights protection technology, and introduced the basic principles and properties of e-paper, and synthesized the advantages of the LCD screen and...
