Statics is the foundation course upon which much of the Civil and Mechanical Engineering curriculum is based. A solid understanding in this course can help to propel students through their engineering studies. In this paper, we investigate the performance of students who took part in a “flipped” mastery based engineering Statics course. Compared to the tradition classroom, where students can pass...
Knapsack problems range over a large sphere of real world challenges [?]. For example, every year a professor has to decide her new “squad” of students/staff from possibly hundreds of candidates, while having a restricted budget of funding in consideration. Moreover, in many cases, she has to resort to her colleagues and senior students to make comparisons among the candidates. The difficulties of...
Education is recognized as one of the most powerful aspects for human development. Scope of education includes dispersal of knowledge, logical thinking, flourishing skills, refining habits, and sharing values. Accordingly, basic or primary education is a fundamental right for every citizen of a country. Studies provide sufficient evidence that individuals lacking primary education are incapable of...
This article presents the use of remote experimentation laboratories and its application in the school context. The purpose of this educational tool is to complement the teaching and learning process and to promote learning beyond the classroom through the use of technology. Remote experimentation has been configured as an alternative to promote this learning supplement thus helping the new generation...
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has a great potential for enriching learning experience especially in early childhood education. The need to integrate ICT at preschool level has become greater. The teacher as a mediator influences the use of ICT in teaching and learning. The aim of the research is to investigate teachers' attitudes toward use of ICT and examine whether there are a relationship...
With the rapid development of technology, more and more network courses, supported by computer technology, are designed and developed in colleges and universities in China. It is a significant revolution which reshapes traditional teaching and learning. These user-friendly network courses facilitate instructional settings or learning environment for students' self-learning, sharing information, asking...
Line up with the technology that many universities have reported an increase in the use of online educational tools worldwide. Therefore, the use of e-Learning systems is a success factor of any institution, and the main point is whether e-Learning is effective or not. By filling the gap of limited research, this study will help to identify whether existing online education system effectively helps...
Example tracing tutors has proven to be one of the simplest methods for modelling domain limited scenarios within intelligent tutoring systems [1]. The intelligence embedded within this type of tutors lies in the feedback it possesses during creation and how it is triggered based on learner interaction with the example. Since real-life tutoring in 1-to-1 scenarios proves to have the ultimate learning...
It is significantly obvious that English learning requires personally adapting systems. In order to satisfy this need, measuring the degrees of understanding by image tracking is fairly important. This study investigated whether eye tracking could be employed as a measure of the effectiveness of an E-Learning material on reading. Learners' eye fixations were used as a means of noticing. Results showed...
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.
