By comparing the eye movement data of Korean students reading Chinese texts with or without marks for word boundaries, the researcher has found that: (1) To Korean students, the Chinese words represent more psychological reality than Chinese characters. (2) The reading efficiency of Korean students could be immensely improved by inserting word boundary marks. It is, therefore, suggested that when...
The problem of navigation of the student over learning objects can be solved either by creating relations between learning objects or by using metadata of learning objects stored in concepts space of the domain. Every learning object has such defined metadata in a form of relation to several concepts. Concepts space contains information about structural and dependency relations between concepts. We...
With development of teaching reform, more and more studies are centered on improving autonomy of students in universities. As for students in English major, a variety of reforms of teaching mode have attached researchers' attentions. The most important one lies on reform of "zero-approach" teaching mode based on web. The reform is based on humanism and discovery learning theory. It mainly...
This paper presents project 'Alfalab'. Alfalab is a collaborative frame work project of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW). It explores the success and fail factors for virtual research collaboration and supporting digital infrastructure in the Humanities. It does so by delivering a virtual research environment engineered through a virtual R&D collaborative and by drawing...
The project described here may be seen as a continuation of an earlier project, SweDia 2000, aimed at transforming the database collected in that project to a full-fledged e-science database. The database consists of recordings of Swedish dialects from 107 locations in Sweden and Swedish speaking parts of Finland. The goal of the present project is to make the material searchable in a flexible and...
Process mining is a branch of data mining that aims to discover process model from the event logs. In this study, we propose a hybrid approach to process mining in such a way that, "from-to chart" is used as the frontend to monitor the transitions among activities of a realistic event log. Another novelty of this study is developed evaluation metrics, which are used for finding immediate...
A case study of designing an effective e-learning framework is presented here which demonstrates how conventional learning methods can be supplemented with e-learning methods, to enhance the efficiency of teaching and learning process. Evolutions are happening in teaching and learning process with introduction of Web based learning methods. Some of the problems and limitations reported on e-learning...
This report discusses the merits and limitations of the two main choices of learning and teaching method which are the traditional learning (t-learning) and electronic learning (e-learning) methods. On the basis of this comparison and evaluation, the report suggests the blended learning (b-learning) method as an effective alternative approach for teaching and learning process. The term b-learning...
Archive is a collection of historical records which have been accumulated over the course of an individual and institution's lifetime. Archive is considered as an invaluable asset which provides us with an insight into the lives and circumstances of past generations. In this paper, we describe the workflow model of an archival management system adopted by Macau Historical Archives. To further analyze...
English proficiency is playing an important role in nearly every aspect of life: further education, job-huntng and career development. Lexical competence is regarded as one of the key factors to English learning. With traditional teaching method, students focus mostly on memorization of individual words and usage, which turn out to be boring and ineffective. The corpus-based data driven learning (DDL)...
By drawing on international research results, the paper take an empirical method to analyze the risk characteristics of bonds, stocks, futures and other markets in China when the economy has gone through recovery, overheat, stagflation, reflation. At the same time, the paper analyzes empirically the risk characteristics of basic materials, consumer staples, financials and etc. Afterwards, the paper...
Web course of electromechanics is a difficult to study course; so, we made up a Web teaching system aiming to this course based on ASP technology, etc. This Web teaching system included course study content, on line answer question sub-system, examination sub-system, and so on. This Web teaching system of electromechanics can help student to study by themselves through Web, and can also help teacher...
Energy awareness is the first step to achieve energy sustainability. Without energy awareness, effort in energy conservation can be difficult and leading to energy wastage. This paper intends to introduce the conceptual model of energy awareness development process (CMEADP) as a guide for facilities and energy managers to raise energy awareness and improve energy-use behaviour among the building's...
There exists a large and underutilized resource of archaeological literature, both formal, such as scholarly journals and less formal in the form of `grey literature'. In the archaeological domain the vast majority of this literature contains some geo-spatial element as well as the expected temporal information and therefore its ease of discovery would be greatly enhanced were it accessible via a...
The virtual library implies no sense of physical location, whether for the end user or for the source. The user can access the information from anywhere and the information can be held anywhere. There is a sense of randomness in and its irrelevant to the user where the information is held.
Frequent pronunciation errors made by L2 learners of Dutch often concern vowel substitutions. To detect such pronunciation errors, ASR-based confidence measures (CMs) are generally used. In the current paper we compare and combine confidence measures with MFCCs and phonetic features. The results show that the best results are obtained by using MFCCs, then CMs, and finally phonetic features, and that...
The purpose of this paper is to present systemic creative product design methods based on user's life scenarios. Based on the nature of scenario and user's needs, combining with design principles and modeling activities in creative design process, this paper presented a solution to discovery user's needs from scenarios, and transfer these needs to structures, outlined a creative design model and some...
Main control link and management tools of ERP are analyzed and computed through primary components and factor analysis (PCFA). The PCFA process is evaluated in the light of some steps reflecting main function indexes of main control link and management tools of ERP. Case study shows that some indexes are significant in analyzing and assessing main function indexes. Through analysis and evaluation,...
In the consideration of economic need, social need and psychological need, this paper constructs a utility function of knowledge sharing in enterprise employees. With the research result of behavioral game theory, it studies the knowledge sharing problem based on fairness preference. It points out the main ingredients which affect the knowledge sharing problem and give considerable strategies.
