The increasing demand for diverse online materials including video representations of lectures, seminars and symposiums, leads to a continuously pursuit for convenient lecture recording solutions. In this paper, a multi-purpose lecture and seminar capturing solution for collaborative usage, including an Interactive Whiteboard Full HD 1080p resolution and up to 1080i camera support with live broadcasting...
The contribution is focused on senior citizens as a specific and growing group of the society all over the world. Currently education of senior citizens is being developed especially in the area of utilization of information technologies. The paper deals with specific features of education of seniors which is considered to be distinguished space for development of social creativity. Outcomes of the...
The Internet has become a dominant part of the learning process of students in advanced learning. Many of these students currently do not represent a considerable portion of the consumer market in terms of buying power but given their continuous exposure to the internet and their eventual adoption of Internet banking, in the future, when they enter the work force, will represent that significant group...
Because of the explicit, the axonometric projection is useful in engineering. But in the published books of mechanical drawing, only the characteristic and the drawing steps of the axonometric projection are focused on, and the forming method and the expression of the unapparent edges of object are not mentioned. This paper analyses the forming method by 3D graphic projective transformation in CG,...
The analysis of the scientific literature available on the types of general competences and their classification caused the authors to conclude that it is necessary to implement interdisciplinary approach in engineering education to develop competences necessary for engineers to make them competitive in the labour market. The attention should be paid to a professional foreign language, computer literacy...
The aim of the article is to present a new possible way of an interactive teaching. The effort is to substitute proprietary software that is commonly used in educational process by open technologies. Since the subject of this article is oriented to the engineering area we devoted our attention to open software and we chose Maxima. Moreover, this tool can be available not only locally on the desktop...
With the development of science and technology and the popularization of computer and its applications, the teaching activity of the fundamental computer course in the public security service institutions are confronted with a great number of new challenges. To adapt to the new teaching situation, the Chinese People's Armed Police Force Academy has conducted a study on a new system of curriculum of...
This paper researches on the network configuration of digital campus, as well as the effect on digital campus construction caused by on-demand learning style. Analyzes the target of digital learning, resources expression and service development. Constructs the model of Campus Digital Learning Hub (CDLH) platform including uniform identity recognition and clustering learning resources which can meet...
The purpose of this study was to examine learning effects and problem solving strategies in the context of elementary students designing games with Scratch. Due to the fact that all of the participants were not familiar with Scratch, they were taught its basics before the study began. The study involved 5 design sessions, and each last for three hours. In total, there were 12 participants divided...
Student success in a globally distributed organization requires effective communication skills to deal with the barriers that are inherent in such settings. This paper proposes to provide students the opportunity to be involved in collaborative “real-world” projects. International collaboration in computer science education can provide both technical and cultural benefits for all parties involved...
Data structure visualization (or animation) has been studied for more than twenty years, though existing systems have not gained wide acceptance in the classroom by students and their instructors. The main reason is that animation preparation is too time consuming. A more technical reason is that when a particular data structure is encoded into an animation, it does not have the flexibility often...
Collaboration is one of the keywords in education as well as in computer-assisted instruction. In this respect, e-learning platforms provide users with specific tools, enabling them to collaborate and/or to cooperate so to reach common objectives. Collaboration is considered as a teaching strategy but, in many cases such as in the software engineering classes, collaboration has to be a learning outcome...
Currently, kindergartens in Malaysia use books, photographs and model of real objects to teach children in the classroom. The use of computer software to assist in the teaching and learning process is very rare. Thus, this research was carried out to introduce an educational multimedia application to kindergarten children. The contents focused on objects in the public spaces, and created in the form...
The information technology and modern education, as well as integration of various subjects is a breakthrough in deepening educational reform. Combining with Hubei rural middle school mathematics classroom teaching in information technology usage questionnaire, and using questionnaire interview method and SPSS software, the paper analyzes the information technology application situation in rural middle...
In this paper, we present our work on enhancing the technological infrastructure at Spanish National University for Distance Education (UNED, Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia) with cloud computing principles. This includes the development of (1) virtualized environments to allow students to do practical exercises easily in the field of networks and communications; and (2) load forecasting...
This paper presents the Advanced Collaborative Educational Model (ACEM) for conception of collaborative learning activities. It is based on collaboration between teachers through virtual interactions, reutilization, interoperability and adaptability of learning activities. The definition of learning activity is oriented to a constructivist approach. Tagging collaboration and ontologies are also considered...
Internet-based learning systems are being used in many universities and firms but their adoption requires a solid understanding of the user acceptance processes. The technology acceptance model (TAM) has been used to test the acceptance of various technologies and software within an e-learning context. This research aims to discuss the main factors of a successful e-learning adoption by students....
This paper presents a computing hosting system to provide virtual computing laboratories for learning activities is presented. This system has a distributed structure and it is based on clustering, hosting and virtualization technologies. All the components used in its development are free software tools. The computing lab model provided by the system is a more sustainable and scalable alternative...
The world is changing, Technology is revolutionizing the way we relate and interact with the environment. The knowledge of future technologies will allow us to adapt to change with time, anticipate its implementation and thus be able to work with them; we must not forget that future generations will be born with new technologies. This paper raises a number of developments, which for one reason or...
There is an increasing awareness among engineering educators that more and more students are not able to achieve learning successfully in a “one-size-fit-all” model where a set of instructions are provided identically to every student in a given class. This paper addresses this challenge by offering an intelligent virtual reality game system that not only immerses students in an attractive and engaging...
