This research includes information on the cultural and media consumption of young Ecuadorian university students and the relationship that exists with the media skills they have. The inquiries were carried out in two stages, the first analyzed the consumption of traditional and digital media of Ecuadorian university students in 2015. Twenty-six universities in Ecuador were studied with representative...
Vision is one of the most important senses that helps people interact with the real world. Commonly visually impaired develop their other senses to feel their surroundings, but in certain cases, this is not enough. The senses can be disturbed by noise or illness. For this reason, many artifacts have been developed to help this group of people. Artifacts such as white canes or guide dogs help sightless...
With the advent of the Internet and the growth in the use of cyberspace by consumers for online healthcare information (OHI), various researchers from different disciplines have been working on the challenges and threats posed by the issue of cyberchondria, which is related to the cyber psychological aspects of uncertainty, anxiety, quality, and credibility. However, there are few research efforts,...
Nowadays, in our fast-paced world there are countless MOOC courses in the Internet with various topics that have been designed to broaden our knowledge. One of the most powerful tools for effective learning are online videos. Many case studies have been carried out in order to specify the qualities of a good educational video. Philip J. Guo, Juho Kim and Rob Rubin published an article (How Video Production...
The primary goal of this research is to explore differences in visual search behaviour, performance and subjective satisfaction between English, Arabic and Chinese speaking users of a Search Engine Result Page (SERP) in order to provide design insights for international web designers and developers. The research uses eye tracking to examine whether differences in visual behaviour and eye movement...
The widely used Smart Card for automated fare collection in public transit systems has made it possible to study travel behaviors. Previous studies paid more attention to the urban dynamics which are lack of analyzing the individual mobility pattern. In this paper, we propose a visual analysis system PeopleVis to mine and visualize Smart Card Data (SCD). In this system, time series analysis approach...
In order to promote the integration of information technology and professional curriculum, optimize the teaching process and effect of higher vocational curriculum, and improve the ability of teachers to use modern information technology. At the same time, the modern vocational education advocates “work and study, the integration of theory and practice, do in Teaching, learning by doing.” Numerical...
Cross-modal retrieval, which aims to solve the problem that the query and the retrieved results are from different modality, becomes more and more essential with the development of the Internet. In this paper, we mainly focus on the exploration of high-level semantic representation of image and text for cross-modal matching. Deep convolutional image features and Fisher Vector with neural word embeddings...
Voice-based systems allow users access to information on the internet over a voice interface. Prior studies on Open and Distance Learning (ODL) e-examination systems that make use of voice interface do not sufficiently exhibit intelligent form of assessment, which diminishes the rigour of examination. The objective of this paper is to improve on the achievements of previous studies by providing a...
Geo-tweet visualization help users know the events that is happening over the space and time from the tweets or wikipedia while they click on the specified location for a 3D based tag visualization. Normal events are detected by system which happens anywhere or anytime using machine learning algorithm and special events are also extracted by comparing current situation to normal regularities. Generally,...
This presentation is to introduce the theory of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and explore the effects and implication of UDL on English classes in Korea. In this study, we will observe and analyze several English classes in elementary schools focusing on UDL. The experiment is designed to observe and analyze English classes in terms of Universal Design for Learning methodology. The classes have...
We propose that spectrograms can be useful for investigating large and complex sets of temporal data, especially 3D-like, using them as a quick and compact high density visualization tool for big data, where each pixel represents a data value. Our approach proposes for interaction with the spectrogram based toolkit thus allowing for a possible redefinition of hypothesis or research goals when new...
Recently, reviews of goods are one of the important factors which have an influence on the consumer's buying behavior. Under the situation, information aggregation of reviews has attracted much attention in electronic commerce (EC) site. In this study we propose a review recommendation system target on golf EC site. In our proposal system, reviews are scored by the evaluation of characteristic words...
Despite attending face-to-face meetings with the Muslim scholars, the Islamic Websites (I-webs) has been one of the most influential mediums of communication for Muslims across the globe to find information about Islam, and to share the knowledge they learned to both Muslims and non-Muslims. Realizing the significant impact of I-webs in spreading da’wah, it is imperative for the researchers understand...
Typosquatting becomes a speculative and serious phenomenon for both Internet users and brand owners of popular websites. Typosquatters register similar domain names of popular websites to profit from displaying advertisements, redirecting traffic to third-party pages, deploying phishing sites, or serving malware. Thus, much work have been done on measuring typosquatting in distribution, monetization...
This paper proposed a new kind of online education mode, MOOE (Massive Open Online Experiment). MOOE was produced based on the thoughts of the Internet thinking and the opening-and-sharing resources and was the organic combination of MOOC and experimental teaching. The main contributions were made: (1) Instructed MOOE's concept and characteristics. MOOE build a network laboratory with the advanced...
This paper reports the development process of an educational resource prototype named Poligonopolis. Its content is focused on learning the content Polygons. The instructional design project of the educational resource was written considering gamification elements and accessibility guidelines, which served as requirements to develop the prototype. The Poligonopolis prototype was evaluated by a group...
The present work describes the Moodle Analytics Dashboard (MAD), a tool developed to allow the visualization of students and professors logs in Moodle disciplines. MAD provides an easy way to obtain graphical visualization of several aspects related to students and professors accesses in virtual learning disciplines, thus helping professors to better follow teaching and learning process, as well as...
