With the maturity of network technology, autonomous learning has become a heated issue. In this paper, an analysis of five elements that affect web-based autonomous learning is presented and an autonomous learning mode is put forward, in the hope of exploring a more effective way of improving learners' English learning autonomy.
Web-based language learning (WBLL) environment has provided English education a new arena where learning and teaching activities are vivified by the feats of computer and internet technology. A full development of learner autonomy can conduce to success in web-based English learning. This paper aims to find out ways to improve learner autonomy to achieve Chinese students' success in web-based English...
Based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) developed from the theory of reasoned action (TRA) and social psychology research by Davis (1989), this study models the use of the Internet-based modular object-oriented dynamic learning environment (Moodle) by students of the computer science department at Ming Chuan University (MCU), Taiwan. Apart from student demographics and background information...
The present article offers a study of the development of Multimedia Computer Assisted Instruction (MCAI) in college English teaching from the perspective of its theoretical basis, connotations, limitations, properties as well as its practical meanings. The article points out that the best mode of college English teaching is to combine the traditional teaching method with MCAI and develop learners'...
This paper aims to give an insight into the importance of green ICT course in the curriculum of Master and PhD level studies. An attempt has been made to demonstrate its necessity, implementation issues and strategic plans to execute this course. General structural plans along with details of the course content are discussed in this paper. The course aims to provide a unified view of sustainable embedded...
The emergence of Web 2.0 and the influence of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) have fostered e-education to be more interactive, challenging, and situated. As a result, learners felt empowered when they are engaged in collaborative learning activities and self-directed learning. New forms of integrated assessment to support students when it comes to use complex-learning resources (CLR)...
The purpose of this paper is to solve the current translation teaching problems, and to provide a new kind of computer-aided translation teaching mode. Constructivism is the theoretical foundation of the thesis and computer-aided translation teaching mode. Constructivism holds that students are not passive recipients but subjects of the cognitive process and active constructors of knowledge. The final...
The teaching and learning processes carried out daily in classrooms is crucial as well as challenge to accomplish the task of Excellent Engineers Training Program proposed by CME. In accordance with the overall requirements of the Program, the paper analyzes the effect of active and cooperative learning methodologies implemented in computer engineering educational courses of the department of Computer...
The concept of green computing has become a popular label employed by all major IT corporations when promoting either their hardware as energy efficient or asserting that their software solutions improve work performance and reduce the carbon footprint. Yet, how one addresses sustainability in computing is still a developing area and without clear guidelines or standards. Preparing students on topics...
This paper presents the results on students' expectations and instructors' usage of ICT during instruction in a Kyrgyzstan-Turkey Manas University. Data were collected from 57 instructors and 477 students from different faculties of Manas University. Results show that there is discrepancy between students' expectations and the rate of instructors' use of ICT during instruction. The most important...
Problem-based learning lab sessions shape a demanding environment, both for students as well for the teaching staff, due to the additional support required. This applies particularly to overcrowded classes. Under these conditions, some aspects do not perform well, like the efficiency of the provision of feedback and the orchestration of the session, jeopardizing the effectiveness of the learning activity...
Educational games have been proved to be learning environments that are more in correspondence with new generation of students since they can provide successful learning and motivate students in their learning process. In this line, several studies describe the main factors that games should have in order to design engaging learning experiences. Taking into account these factors, this paper presents...
E-book readers have the inherent advantage of affording learners both mobility and convenience. They can be considered ideal pedagogical tools for supporting learners¡¦ reading activities. In this study, the reading strategies SQ3R (Survey, Question, Read, Recite and Review) with the guidance mechanism were integrated into the e-book reading environment for assisting learners in their reading processes...
Online tutoring system is one of the approaches used in today's private education which allows the tutors and students to communicate each other in a real time. However, some of the private colleges are still using the learning process in the classroom with a large number of students. Online tutoring system with objective to upgrade the conventional system to computer oriented learning to students...
This study presents how the degree of script coercion can affect the learning outcome in a setting for computer-supported collaborative learning. In the study, 42 junior students majoring in Informatics were randomly assigned into two study conditions: High Coercion (n=22), and Low Coercion (n=20). Initially, students worked individually, studying material and answering ill-structured problems on...
Engineering studies consist of two parts: theory lectures and laboratory practices. Effectiveness of laboratories plays an important role in providing necessary design skills. However, evaluation of laboratories can be subjective and inconsistent. Consequently, a criterion is required to evaluate the engineering laboratories. This paper proposes an evaluation criterion for assessing the effectiveness...
An experimental research method using a single group with a pre-test and post-test was conducted to introduce Active Learning to a class of 33 Computer Engineering students. The researcher developed instructional materials consisted of a pre-fabricated Printed Circuit Board (PCB), and Manual that were designed to demonstrate the Basic Logic Gates functions: AND, OR, NOT, NAND, NOR, XOR, and XNOR....
In this paper we present the blended-learning concept of a basic course attended by about 1000 students of various courses of study each semester. The traditionally organized course with lecture and exercise is afflicted by different time tables and knowledge background of the students, as well as being a subject with high degree of abstraction. Adding lecture and exercise recordings, interactive...
Nowadays, the impact of technology on education has been outstanding and this brings new challenges for educational institutions to manage many issues that were previously not managed with ease due to geographical limitations or lack of adequate training technologies. The extensive use of technology in learning makes its use inevitable in the assessment process. Although, a lot of software packages...
In allusion to the development of modern network technology and the characteristics of “The Basis of College Computer ” course, this paper puts forward the teaching mode of autonomic learning based on the network environment, and gives elaboration on the construction of this mode and its practice in teaching for one year. Through analyzing the data after implementation, which includes the analysis...
