Learning Analytics focuses on improving learning process by studying and analyzing data produced during the process itself. It covers the collection, measurement, analysis, reporting and knowledge discovering on data about students, teachers and institutions. Learning Analytics has been widely developed in Anglo Saxon countries. USA, United Kingdom, Canada and Australia are amongst the main contributors...
CPS engineers need to possess both technical and social skills to run CPS-engineering projects successfully. Especially social skills are crucial as the project fails are mostly caused because of lacking social skills of project members. Besides strong social skills, CPS engineers need to have a wide range of various technical skills as the products they deal with are getting increasingly complex...
Searching for “The Internet of Things” may render thousands of hits in academic databases but a challenge still remains: to let students envision as well as work with the concept in a practical way. Designing “Things for the Internet” will not only require skills in engineering and electronics but also some understanding of digital service design and business models. This paper reports on work in...
One of the biggest challenges of organizations in contemporary times is the ability to manage rapid changes in business environment. Software and expert information systems can help to manage changes and thus contribute to addressing this challenge. The initial, and perhaps, most important activities in software and expert systems development are to elicit, analyze, specify, and validate requirements...
There are 3,930,000 physical-disabled people and 740,000 mentally-disabled people in Japan. Also, 6% of nations have some disability from the survey by Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. Among them, the total number of physical-disabled under 18 years old is 98,000 and mentally-disable is 125,000. Those children cannot communicate without somebody's help because of severe physical or/and mental...
Service-learning has been proven to be a high-impact educational pedagogy in many disciplines. It addresses human, and community needs through engaging in community activities. With professional engineering expertise, integrating engineering into service-learning not only can make particularly impactful community service, especially in developing countries where engineering expertise is not always...
The Raspberry Pi Single Board Computer (SBC) family has gained popularity in diverse areas, while education remains to be the fundamental driver behind the design. Low cost kits are provided, specifically for education, by the Raspberry Pi Foundation in conjunction with Google. These kits and modifications for optimal educational outcomes, and an enriched experience will be briefly discussed. The...
The EuroMPM [1] is a pan-European cooperation on Master education in project management with seven well aligned Master programmes in different European countries dealing with the ambition to offer an academic education in project management on EQF level 7 [2]. Connecting several Master programmes in a cross-border virtual Master School is a straightforward approach for high-quality Master education...
With the rapid development of informatization and the popularity of computer application, higher requirements are put forward for computer teaching in university. As one of the basic courses in universitie, “Computer Sience” carried out some reforms in the teaching content, but the teaching method is still based on instruction, supplemented by the computer exercises. The paper puts forward the blended...
Internet of Things (IoT) seems to be a popular term nowadays, for business, society and teaching alike. Teaching students about such concepts and more importantly, making them aware of the many competency components (often called KSA — knowledge, skills, abilities) required in the development of IoT systems, services and products has been a major aim in the teaching design presented in this paper...
There is a strong need to make research more efficient resulting in more impactful outcomes, across the world and more so in developing countries. To improve research outcomes and impact on practitioners, effectiveness of student researchers (SRs), research supervisors (RSs) and communication of research findings need improvement. The study attempts to find out 1. Can Lean help improving these elements?...
Help between peers, intended to positively influence learning, appears as a suitable activity for inquiry learning. While several studies reveal evidence that effective help-seeking and help-giving behaviors can improve learning, virtual and remote laboratories do not provide sufficient support to enable these social interactions. Based on a set of criteria defined from existing literature, we designed...
Fake news—false stories that mimic real research or journalism and spread quickly online—and our awareness of it has proliferated in the months leading up to and following the 2016 presidential election. This workshop will help instructors of technical and professional writing define fake news for their students, identify the ways social media lends ethos to fake news, and give students a consistent...
Massive open online courses (MOOCs) have recently received a great deal of attention from educational organizations. The benefit of MOOCs is that they provide free access to education that could lower down the cost of education. A MOOC have potential to provide much more advantage to the students than a traditional online course. Every student has diverse learning needs and it would be beneficial...
The group formation problem is a key problem in group learning. In this paper, we proposed a group formation system by using learning logs, which were collected from digital books system and Moodle system. We described the design and the usage of the system. In the future, we will evaluate the effective of this system.
To discover teaching knowledge efficiently, we must extract the various teaching activities from educational data. In this paper, through the use of e-book logs and techniques of time-series analysis, we describe a method of practicing teaching analytics in face-to-face classes, one which enable us to extract the teaching activity efficiently and accurately.
This paper reports on an investigation into perceptions of international university lecturers and their concerns about students' social and academic motivation for learning in online learning environments. The study results suggest that pedagogic lurking is a widespread phenomenon, with some perceiving it as problematic and others as a step towards more active participation. Most interestingly, there...
Humanoid robots were introduced into the education sector as tools, tutors and companions for students to make learning more effective. This research does reliability and validity test for a proposed questionnaire which looks at various perceptions issues such as how students perceive gender and the role that humanoid robots have. Such a valid and reliable questionnaire could help the research team...
This paper puts forward a way to design and realize a teaching quality evaluation system for part-time teachers. Through the evaluation of part-time teachers in the teaching process, the quantitative evaluation results of the teaching quality of the course can be gained on the basis of analytic hierarchy process to carry on the distribution of evaluation index weights, fuzzy comprehensive evaluation...
This preliminary research investigates the effects of self-regulated learning support using the system "Self-regulator (SR)," and relationships between self-regulated learning awareness, learning behaviors, and perceived effects of SR. The results showed that the course with SR promoted "meet the deadline" awareness. The results of Spearman's correlation analysis revealed that...
