In the paper the spherical-head model for the HRTF is developed and is used in conjunction with yaw angle tracking provided using software developed for a WiiRemote controller to simulate sound radiated from a point source as a function of head position. The yaw rotation angle is evaluated using gyros supplied in the Wii motion plus extension device. The real-time data obtained is used to control...
New possibilities in information technology and new challenges in higher education stimulate revising earlier concepts and methods in computer system based higher education processes. As a contribution to these activities, this paper makes an attempt to evaluate results in virtual classroom processes during the past decade in order to outline a concept for next future research. The authors cite and...
This paper describes a new tool - ASHAN ('Alphabets and Scripts by Hand and Audio, Naturally') - for learning scripts and languages. The problem of illiteracy is universal affecting about 16% of the human race. Only technological tools can accelerate the process of meeting the millennium goals as the paradigms of learning and teaching are changing. ASHAN - a computer with a touch screen and special...
The Kukui Cup is an advanced dorm energy competition whose goal is to investigate the relationships among energy literacy, sustained energy conservation, and information technology support of behavior change. Two general purpose open source systems have been implemented: WattDepot and Makahiki. WattDepot provides enterprise-level collection, storage, analysis, and visualization of energy data. Makahiki...
Music is an integral part of high school students' daily lives, and most use digital music devices and services. The one-week Summer Music Technology (SMT) program at Drexel University introduces underclassmen high school students to music technology to reveal the influence and importance of engineering, science, and mathematics. By engaging participants' affinity for music, we hope to motivate and...
Java-DSP is a freely accessible web-based software, primarily used in signal processing education and research. In this paper, we present Java-DSP modules that have been developed for the study and analysis of the MPEG-1 Layer III algorithm. We have embedded JLayer1.0, an open source MP3 library, to Java-DSP and developed an intuitive interface to expose undergraduate and graduate students to the...
Virtual computing laboratories provide remote user access to standardized computing resources and enable many types of complex experiential and project-based learning applicable in the simulation of information warfare exercises, incident response training and digital forensics analysis. As more universities and government agencies consider implementing VLABs, they are faced with choosing an appropriate...
This paper presents a teaching model based on information technology-applied instructions. The new education tool, interactive response system (IRS), was applied in this model. Advantages and difficulties in applying the system were described first. Then two styles of teaching models were developed in this study. The first is the “IRS with peer-discussion model (IRS-PDM)”, and the second is the “IRS...
Power electronic laboratory may seem to be a good method of education. Despite the benefits of a laboratory-based education, some serious limitations make it difficult to consider this method as a main educating tool. In addition, power electronic laboratory is one of the most expensive laboratories in both foundation and operation. Moreover, the complexity of power electronic circuits makes it hard...
The development and innovation of IT provides advanced technical support for the basic education reform in our county, E-learning gradually becoming an increasingly important issue of education pattern reform. The paper analyzes the characteristics of E-learning and its teaching advantages, connecting with the features of mental health curriculum and teaching difficulties to come up with several teaching...
In this paper, a specific online judge for automata is designed. System architecture is developed according to it. Model representations, judging strategies and feasibility of automatic judge are also explored. Different judging methods are introduced corresponding to each model, ensures the accuracy and efficiency. The advantages when applied to education are also discussed at the end of this paper.
The paper deals with the structure and the properties of a system implementing the remote laboratory, in the technical area, for university purposes. This system was intended for remote experiments on physical objects, but it allows virtual experimentation, too. The main contribution is the original software written for this laboratory, created by the authors and tested in the university. The key...
Learning Design has emerged as one of the most significant recent developments in e-learning. However, Few instructional designers and teachers have experience in designing learning materials with IMS Learning Design. This article aims to review and evaluate currently available Learning Design software, and make an explicit contrast among them to provide a guideline for teachers and developers to...
In light of the characteristics of circuit experiment teaching and the problems in the experiment. The electron design automation software Multisim is used to develop a virtual simulation platform to bridge the gap between textbook theory and the real circuits. The application of Multisim in electronics experiment teaching have been discussed with examples. The results indicates that the new methodology...
Augmented Reality (AR) is the technology of adding virtual objects to the real scenes through enabling the addition of missing information at real life. As the lack of resources is a problem that can be solved through AR, this paper represents and explains the usage of AR technology in what can be named Augmented Reality Student Card (ARSC) for serving the education field. ARSC uses single static...
Survnvote is a free Audience Response System (ARS) for surveys and voting using the web, sms and mobile devices (PDA or smart phone). This paper proposed some improved features of a web-based ARS which replace the clicker with mobile phone and use the web instead of specialist software and infrastructure. Survnvote solved the main problem of traditional ARS which is high cost and need to physically...
To evaluate the security situation of hierarchical network, a novel evaluation algorithm based on the method of constructing a security risk function is proposed. The proposed algorithm is the aggregation of qualitative evaluation and quantitative evaluation. We quantify the asset loss (AL) and the threat value of each attack step (TVA) basing on attack graph, and adjust the loss of assets that are...
Digital VLSI design courses are a standard component in most electrical and computer engineering curricula. Electronic Design Automation (EDA) or Computer Aided Design (CAD) tools and frameworks are an integral and indispensable part of such courses. In this paper we present our findings during the preparation and setup of such a course, centered around nanoscale CMOS, standard cell based design....
An initial seminar course teaching STEM Educational Game Development for the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) XO series of laptops and Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) methodologies has spawned a broad educational effort at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). Students who completed the course began mentoring new students on their own time and recruiting them to continue developing the veterans'...
In terms of several new technologies, such as ubiquitous computing, ontology engineering, semantic web and grid computing, this paper proposes a kind of flexible educational platform architecture for Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL). With data-intensive scientific workflows, it is promising to gain concept reusability, device and user adaptability, automatic composition, function and...
