It is very important to explore the combination of college English teaching and multimedia technology, because it is the unstoppable trend. The advantage and existing problem of multimedia in college English teaching is analyzed. The cooperative learning and the teaching evaluation mode with "the double connection" are integrated to play the role of multimedia technology in college English...
The need of improving the education quality is insparable from the strategic role of teachers. One potential solution to develop the teachers quality is the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs). In this paper, we propose a Digital Learning — Lesson Study (DL-LS) that is an implementation of Lesson Study — a teacher learning method through the study of teaching and learning process...
Networked computers and the internet are among the ICTs initiatives of John B. Lacson Foundation Maritime University, Inc. Being one among the maritime university in Asia and the only maritime university in the Philippines, with its commitment on the “development of a culture of excellence in maritime education and training”, the University made advancement on the practical and operational use of...
Web Online Public Access Catalogue (OPAC) is widely used electronic library catalogues giving a wealth of remote access to library information resources. The end user satisfaction of the system is vital to ensure the continuation usage of Web OPAC. Most of the previous studies focused on the interface and the system itself instead of the end user satisfaction. This study is aim to integrate end user...
In the last 10 years we have provided an interactive online course on Computer Architecture and Organization, which uses Online Learning and Interactive e-Assessment technology to support easier learning. The technology enabled an interactive environment which, checks student's knowledge and enables continuation to the next learning environment based on decision making criteria to check if sufficient...
Presents the elements of the theory of fractal labyrinths and their use in computer image analysis of microstructures of modern nano-modified materials.
In this paper the realization of computer adaptive testing using mathematical-statistical tools of Item Response Theory is considered. It is aimed for knowledge level quick determination of full-time students and distance educations students, and to identify gaps in their knowledge. The goal of computer adaptive testing is a student knowledge assessment. But mainly it is making recommendations for...
In education of the students - future engineers need to focus on the development of their technical competence. It is important to form in the mind of the teachers and students a new perspective on the concept of “technical competence”, because now the competence is more than knowledge and skills in any area of study or profession.
The purpose of this research paper was to demystify: 1) a convergence of Augmented Reality (AR) technology as an educational multimedia and instructional design principles and 2) a divergence of learning outcomes and findings based upon the utilization of Augmented Reality 3D pop-up book, namely The Seed Shooting Game. This AR 3D pop-up book employed a storytelling technique for teaching English as...
Terahertz imaging, is the latest entry into the crowded field of imaging technologies. Many applications are emerging for the relatively new technology. THz radiation penetrates deep into nonpolar and nonmetallic materials such as paper, plastic, clothes, wood, and ceramics that are usually opaque at optical wavelengths. In contrast to X-rays, the T-rays have large potential in the field of hidden...
Results of the research on utilization of information and communication technologies by teachers on the primary school level in the Czech Republic in the Hradec Králové region are summarized in this paper. The aim of the research was to find out how teachers work with technologies in the process of education and what influence these technologies have on work and results of pupils. The ways how pupils...
In this paper we describe designing and implementation of a powerful, fast and compact simple 3D modeler (SM3D). In addition to saving cost and time (due to high processing speed), 3D objects can be created with minimum system resources by using this application. Easy learning and using are other strengths of this application. Modularity using classification and applying Dynamic-Link Library files...
The possibility of the formalization of chess high level subjective concepts, such as: "beautiful mate", "unexpected move" and others is considered. To analyze these concepts the mathematical apparatus of fuzzy sets is applied and an acceptable correlation between computer and humans estimations of the "beautiful mate" for certain positions is demonstrated.
With the rapid growth of network technologies, Web-based learning conquers the limits of time and location in traditional teaching and is increasing its popularity. However, most of the learning websites lacks of the convenient tools in packaging the information users are interested in. Therefore, the information posted and exchanged in the websites is not easy to be extracted and reused somewhere...
Computer networks are an integral part to the proper functioning of today's society. They are also becoming essential components in almost all the software programs as well because of the need to get devices interconnected. As such, software engineers should be well prepared and able to use and integrate them. In this paper, we provide an overview of current Computer Networks teaching approaches at...
Students with vision impairment have enormous challenges and difficulties accessing graphical educational materials. The predominant usage of graphical information in e-Learning environments makes them inaccessible for blind or vision-impaired students. This paper describes university research project on accessibility improvement in graphical presentation of educational information. Packet Tracer...
The course Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering was recast for an massively open online course (MOOC) environment and taught beginning in January 2013 using the Coursera platform. Enrollment grew throughout the course's twelve week duration, ending up at over 34,000 registrants. Of these about 4,000 were watching videos at the course's end and 500 were working the problem sets. Recasting the course...
The goal of the research is to pursuit high quality content in the learning management system (LMS). This paper starts from exploring influence factors on the content quality in a LMS by interviewing teachers. Then, the theory of planned behavior is referred to develop a new model for content quality on LMS. There are 11 possible categories with 28 variables unearthed which are facilitating condition,...
We discuss the demand for intelligent systems to assist both teachers and students in the teaching and learning of computer programming, then describe the design, implementation of Nooblab, an integrated system offering instruction, a programming test bed and assessment for several programming languages, and its deployment in real university classroom situations. The system also logs every interaction...
Recently, reading disfluency has been used as an instructional strategy. Contradictory to conventional belief, it assumes fonts that are difficult to read may enhance the recall of text messages. Positive outcomes have been reported with a manipulation of disfluency with English fonts. This study focused on the effect of disfluency by varying Japanese kanji fonts for students who are learning Japanese...
