Creating school timetables is problematic in many schools due to the complexity of models that need to be solved. If schools do not have enough resources (rooms, teachers), they are forced to work double or several shifts. This paper deals with shift types and ways to write them in formats used by computers to generate timetables automatically. Even though many schools work in shifts, the constraint...
Curriculum design and implementation in higher medical education can be a great challenge. Although there are well-defined standards, such as the Curriculum Inventory and Competency Framework by MedBiquitous Consortium, existing systems are incapable of a visual representation of the various components, attributes, and relations. In this paper, we present the MEDCIN platform, a pilot tool which uses...
Mobile learning systems (m-learning), even with benefits in terms of education, presents challenges that need to be explored, such as the lack of a specific educational modeling. The work presents the definition of a set of characteristics and requirements for educational modeling directed to the context of mobile learning, assisting and flexibilizing the creation of educational content. A systematic...
The Software Enterprise at ASU aims at equipping students with practical knowledge of modern software practices through a multi-year instructional sequence that employs an iterative feedback pedagogical model in order for graduates to be adequately prepared for the workforce upon graduation. By means of the Software Enterprise Website, the community of teaching practitioners in this area having similar...
In the education field, most developed systems aim to provide an adapted learning process according to the user's needs. Intelligent tutoring systems (ITSs) are defined as instructional software that use artificial intelligence techniques with knowledge based on cognitive psychology and education to provide personalized learning process. To ensure this goal, the system should respond to the learner's...
In order to better serve the international Chinese teaching, according to the sentence-based syntactic system and Chinese syntax structure characteristics, the paper builds a basic sentence-pattern instance database based on the international Chinese textbook Treebank. Based on the instance database, the paper adds an index for the predicate, and then extracts the relevant knowledge and information...
Each time exists a greater amount of Learning Objects (LO) available through repositories, and federations, which were created to support teaching and learning processes. For that the users have an appropriate experience to access these resources, we need to deliver material of quality, that meets some minimum conditions, among them, that their metadata describe the content as much as possible, it...
Today, we're seeing strong demand real-time information, with a rapid expansion of mobile learning (m-learning). We also see that there are many educational resources on the Internet. The learning objects (LOs) are designed as a way to reuse these resources. Some of these LOs are built for fixed devices, which hinders their use on mobile devices. A LO is an area that is open to research that has a...
At the present time, with the improvement of educational work in the education field life, and is intended to facilitate the organization. Many methods are used to accomplish this goal. Artificial intelligence is one of these methods. With artificial intelligence applications to problems encountered in the educational life solutions are the way. In this study, an analysis of the factors affecting...
Computer Networks, an undergraduate computer science course, is taught through a variety of new technological tools but more attention on assessment strategies using those technological tools is desirable. Research studies have shown that assessment methods also influence students' learning. Current assessment techniques, even those which include technology, focus more on summative assessment rather...
In this paper we describe the architecture of virtual clot (vCLOT), a virtual world system designed to teach procedural knowledge of blood clotting process, in a game based learning environment. vCLOT utilizes virtual world to give learners an immersive learning experience while actively participating in tasks that require them to apply the procedural knowledge they have learned. Design of vCLOT combines...
With the advance of information technology, Home-School Interactive Education Platform (HSIEP) becomes an important department of the digital campus network. How to solve the “islands of information” of the digital campus network is a key problem, because of the heterogeneous environment, database, and data format in the network. In this paper, we analyzed “islands of information” phenomenon of the...
The high cost of education and the increased number of adult students increased the demand for online degrees. In the current online education model, the school specifies the courses required to obtain a degree. For each course, the instructor specifies the course elements including teaching method and assessments. But research in education has long proved that different students have different capabilities...
In this paper, we discuss our contribution to the field of computer science and education technology through various projects we have designed and implemented at Auburn University. We begin by introducing a very successful computer proficiency course called Personal Computer Applications (PCA). The goal of this course is not only to impart useful computer skills to the students but also to attract...
Steering documents for school, i.e. curricula, syllabi, subject plans and the Education Act, are not generally available in a digitally usable format. That complicates, for example, the process of building advanced curriculum-based services for schools in which individual elements are traceable. To address this problem, Swedish subject syllabi incorporating knowledge requirements for compulsory school...
Background: The diffusion of component content management and structured authoring workflows and technologies in technical communication requires that instructors of documentation courses determine effective ways to teach component content management to students who may initially be intimidated by authoring environments and structures, such as the Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA). This...
Linked Data is an emerging trend on the web with top companies promoting their own means of marking up data semantically, publishing and connecting data on Web. Despite the increasing prevalence of Linked Data, there are a limited number of applications that implement and take advantage of its capabilities, particularly in the domain of education. In this project we are using Semantic technologies...
In order to improve the efficiency and accuracy of the statistical analysis of implicit grammar points in international Chinese language teaching materials, this paper proposes the statistical method based on Xpath. It preliminarily achieves the purpose of identifying and counting implicit grammar points in international Chinese language teaching materials.
In most of the existing Intelligent Tutoring System, the initial clustering of students is based on their previous semester marks. This paper introduces SoftTutor, an ITS for teaching complex data structures in C for 4th semester B. Tech (Computer Science and Information Technology)students. Here instead of using their previous semester marks, a pretest is conducted by SoftTutor which includes questions...
Learning scenarios are formally represented through Educational Modeling Languages (EMLs). The IMS-LD is a commonly used EML and several compliant visual editors are being created for the authoring of learning scenarios. However, these editors have a limited level of expressiveness. The LPCEL Editor facilitates the authoring process with a visual tool that includes the mechanisms for a collaborative...
