A virtual university is an organization, which provides education and learning through web portal over internet and utilizes multimedia technology to provide online classes, course units, and interactive instructor. It also utilizes virtual reality application for support laboratory and tentative activity and at last assessment and certificate issuance. Students, via the internet, can register in...
Network Integrableware is a software platform which provide for teachers or students with a rich library of teaching materials and material combinations. Practice shows that the teaching method is not fixed. Integrableware is a completely open CAI system. According to the teaching needs, teacher flexible teach with strategies combined multimedia information resource. This article describes the definition...
With the development of computer technology and the popularization of computer, the tradition of the using chalk and blackboard and the way of mainly making comments by the teacher seem too stereotyped. It is inability in the mobilization of students' positivity and activity and no longer fits the development of educational need in the present age. MCAI (Multimedia Computer Assisted Instruction),...
The huge amount of heterogeneous material data on the Web makes it increasingly difficult for users and computer applications to find and access required information because their semantics are not understandable by machines. Integrating such heterogeneous material data sources is a critical issue for the material scientific community. A lot of data integration initiatives have been implemented. But...
With the development of the educational form in china, virtual experiment in subjects of distance education must be enforced. This text introduces concepts of virtual experiment, and mainly presents the strength and weakness of ocean engineering virtual experiment. Moreover, the paper summarizes the present teaching of ocean engineering virtual experiment and its main links in teaching. Analyzes the...
Connection of higher education programs with industrial engineering activities in order to establish practice oriented bachelor and master degrees is an old wish of education in engineering. In a trend towards more problem solving specific and laboratory intensive programs for engineers, earlier concepts and methods in computer system based higher education are revised and new possibilities by using...
One of the most significant challenges of the knowledge-based information society is how to reach, acquire and take in the ever expanding knowledge volume effectively. Parallel with the proliferation of the internet study support learning management systems have also been developed and introduced. With the improvement of internet-technologies and the spreading of web 2.0 virtual 3D-based systems have...
Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) majors at MIT are required to take an oral communications course called “6. UAT” that teaches oral presentation skills and other professional skills that students will need to be effective in the workplace. An assessment of the oral presentation skills component of the course, consisting of a survey and an interview, was designed and conducted in...
When teaching software engineering courses it is highly important to have good text books that are well-founded, up-to-date, and easily accessible to students. However, currently available text books on the market are either very broad or highly specialized, making it hard to select appropriate books for specific software engineering courses. Moreover, due to the rapidly changing subject of software...
This paper proposes an interactive Web 3D virtual experience environment based on O3D. A virtual experience hall was implemented with an educational goal of "saving the earth from global warming." The interactive Web 3D virtual experience hall is capable of providing flexible services without being confined to a specific platform. A storytelling approach was employed to maximize the interactive...
In order to promote to share resource of Agricultural Information Courses (AIC) for our school master's network education, ensure teaching quality and improve the construction level of the network courses; we have developed a teaching demonstration system. This teaching platform can reform the traditional agricultural informatization instruction, and improve the teaching and research activities of...
The author take one section of the course "The Information Technology for University Student " for an example, carry out teaching activities in a learning environment based on edutainment, and by the way of problem-solving. It describes the various interesting ways and pleasant environment that can be used in PBL teaching. Use game as a learning language, the use of scene tools to implement...
The main goal of the Project Experiment@Portugal is to produce a complete survey of Portuguese developments in remote and virtual labs. This knowledge will provide the conditions for joining forces in order to organize a well structured national website integrating a database of available remote and virtual experiments, categorized for sharing purposes, and looking for delivering valuable contents...
A learning environment based on the integration of the LMS and MediaWiki components is suggested to support knowledge sharing among generations of master course students. A case study demonstrates significant raise of motivation and learning efficiency of students with sufficient professional experience as well as communication skills enhancement for all students.
Web-based instructional systems implement constructive learning models, in which the user has control over the learning stages, as well as over the building stages of its own cognitive structures. This model has obvious advantages, but it may fail for closed cognitive style users. To solve this problem many solutions have been attempted: extension of surfing functions offered by the instructional...
The interactive technical electronic book, TechEBook, currently under development at the University of Central Florida (UCF), provides a useful tool for engineers and scientists through unique features compared to the most used traditional electrical circuit textbooks available in the market. TechEBook has comprised the two worlds of classical circuit books and an interactive operating platform such...
The main objective of this research is to explore the results of the use of videos as an educational tool which helps increasing students' motivation in any discipline. The study is based on several streaming videos created as a support material for learning and used by 12 lecturers with 487 students in three different degrees of engineering (Mechanical, Industrial and Management, and Aeronautical)...
Texas A&M University at Qatar places significant influence on the use of technology-based instruction and blended-teaching approaches to augment traditional class instruction and support students' learning. This paper reports on the effectiveness of streaming video as a complementary curriculum delivery method in improving students' learning. Streaming videos were used to describe complex manufacturing...
