With the advent of the era of big data, the traditional teaching mode has been changed greatly, and it opens up a new teaching approach for classroom teaching. Under the perspective of the era of big data, and based on the analysis of the characteristics of the era of large data and the characteristics of the traditional teaching mode, the reform and innovate of chemistry teaching mode was taken from...
This research is an in-depth study which explores the ICT usage among the students and the challenges they come across. The aim of this research was to determine the extent of ICT usage among students; and to study the problems and challenges they have to address in utilizing this facility. Four questions were used to enable this research. The researcher formulated a questionnaire to gather data from...
This paper starts with describing some methods of teaching the history of malware and the response to adult learners visiting an online malware museum. We also discuss some of the methodologies and tools that a student can use to see live malware processes on his/her laptop while enrolled in a malware class. The paper also discusses how to learn more about the activity of the malware, methods to remove...
Learning Analytics is the measurement, analysis, and reporting of data about learners and their contexts, for the purposes of understanding and optimizing learning and the environments in which it occurs. Civitas Learning has created a suite of learning analytics tools and employed early versions of this software at Valencia College in Orlando, Florida. We explore the use of this tool in three instructors'...
A study of educational approaches to higher education computing curricula using publicly available data from a representative sample of 27 public colleges in the State University of New York (SUNY) system is performed. Data and text analysis techniques were applied to a corpus built from course descriptions and listed prerequisites across school, department, school type (2- or 4- year or graduate)...
Computer Science (CS) seems to be everywhere - in our smartphones, apps, cars, watches and so much more. It is integrated into almost every discipline and has a growing importance in our daily lives, yet even with top salaries, exciting companies, and promising careers, the job market remains underpopulated and under-representative of women. Though its applications are everywhere, CS is an often misunderstood...
This paper presents issues of computer programming and results of controlled experiment conducted to evaluate and understand the significance of pair programming in the teaching of programming. It involved 42 second year students attending object-oriented programming in Java, CISM 214 module as an elective at our institution. The experiment assessed the time for task completion, code correctness and...
Computational Science is so important such that more and more institutions start to offer courses or even programs in this area recently. What should be incorporated into computational science curriculum? Generating Functions (GFs) are one of the most useful tools, GFs have been playing an important role in many applications, including analysis of algorithms and in combinatorics, etc, GFs transform...
This paper describes one professor's positive experience with the AACU-TIDES STEM initiative to increase student retention with populations of historically disadvantaged groups within computer science. The paper will also discuss the use of Bitpim, Human Computer Interaction (HCI), Virtualization, Virtual Reality, and the Cyberlink Brain Body Interface as tools to increase student interest in the...
Unnat Bharat Abhiyan, an ambitious project with the support of the Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India, was launched with the intent to leverage the technological know-how developed by the premier engineering institutes of the country and apply it in the rural milieu. To this end, IIT Roorkee conducted Participatory Rural Appraisals (PRAs) in 21 villages. 5 villages were then...
We examined the behavior of teachers in the visualized environment by synchronous CSCL in Active Learning. The following points were considered. •The use of edutab decreased the total amount of teacher speaking by the visualization of the learning state as well as the learning environment. It was found that speaking about objectives decreased, about visualization increased, and about time did not...
In this article, we have argued that a programming language can be improved for both teaching and learning by extracting its simpler subset, and by enforcing some useful constraints. We have further chosen a well known first programming language C++, and have defined its pedagogically effective subset, named Eazy, for teaching a first course in computer programming, generally known as CS1. In order...
The integration of video conferencing systems (VCS) have increased significantly in the classrooms and administrative practices of higher education institutions. The VCSs discussed in the existing literature can be broadly categorized as desktop systems (e.g. Scopia), WebRTC or Real-Time Communications (e.g. Google Hangout, Adobe Connect, Cisco WebEx, and appear.in), and dedicated (e.g. Polycom)....
Education, i.e., the backbone of a nation, encompasses a variety of role players and stakeholders among which students are, perhaps, the most important one. However, analyzing students' feedback on institutional education system from a macro level is yet to be done in the literature. To address this issue, in this paper, we conduct a study on different perspectives of institutional education based...
This paper aimed to automatically translating Python programs into traditional Chinese in order to help those who feel interested in learning computer programming but are not very good at English. The idea could also be helpful for those countries where English is not an official language in elementary or secondary schools. With a set of more than 70 English Python programs translated successfully,...
Information and communication technology (ICT) in education has become the strategies of all countries and economies around the world to achieve enriching human resources and rapidly developing economy and society. The purpose of the ICT in education is to cultivate innovative talents and implement the modernization of education. This paper utilizes the assessment results and questionnaire data of...
In this study, we verified the effect of tablet terminals and edutab in mathematics for the third graders at elementary school with using two types of questionnaires. "Attitudes towards creativity in mathematics education" and "Self-other recognition test." As a result, it became clear that when Children got a rough concept when looking at the idea displayed on the LCD monitor...
Smart boards enable students to learn and explore new concepts using technology to create a more dynamic learning experience. Students become more excited about learning when the smart boards are incorporated into the lesson. Many educators encourage the use of smart boards in teaching and learning. This paper presents a conceptual framework for the use of smart boards among students and teachers...
In this paper, we aimed to guide about latest development and studies about students' performance analysis and Learning Analytics in Massively Open Online Courses (MOOCs) for researchers related with the topics. For this purpose short review for usage of performance prediction and Learning Analytics in MOOCs is investigated In our study, to help readers get familiar with our topic, firstly literature...
With the progress in the level of technology in power systems, many programs using available new technology (e.g. FACTS, fast controllers, communication systems, etc.) have been applied to improve power system characteristics, in particular, reliability, security and stability. To help improve power system characteristics, nowadays, distribution generation including renewable energy sources and non-renewable...
