The Amazon region is characterized by its low population density, with one large city, the capital Manaus, and the remainder of its population distributed in small and less economically developed towns. Most of these towns suffer from huge geographic isolation, as these are scattered in the forest and their access are only through rivers. With all these difficulties, taking education to this population...
In our Operating Systems course we make available in advance the lecture slides and lab sessions material. The slides are built paying attention to present the key ideas and with embedded links to sites in the Web where the topic is covered in greater detail. We also provide the corresponding excerpts of selected textbooks. Following the download activity and paying attention on what our students...
Online learning tools are widely used in engineering education. This includes traditional face-to-face, but also distance education. Since these tools rely on Internet connections, the performance of those connections (speed, latency) can impact on how learning tools are experienced by students. Quality of Service (QoS) describes technical performance parameters that reflect the quality of an Internet...
In this paper, we present Webquests as a didactic resource that allows applying the methodology of Problem-based Learning to Competency-based Curriculum, in order to bridge the gap between “know-what” and “know-how”.
To meet the strong demand for training in technical Chinese, we have built an e-learning system for a technical Chinese course. In this study, we devised a method of adapting the course material to a learner's ability. For each new learner, the system uses collective intelligence to construct a preliminary vocabulary test. Then, it uses the results to construct a personalized course by selecting the...
Several studies conducted at Sri Lankan universities since 2004 in integrating web-based learning and interactive computer aided language learning in English as a Second Language and foreign languages proved to be most successful in enhancing student performance, broadening world knowledge, increasing interest and motivation in autonomous learning. One fifth of the 20 million population of Sri Lanka...
The paper describes how the scientifically exact and problem-solving oriented Remote Experiments (RE) across the Internet for material science may be built. We use the hardware Internet-School-Experimental-System (ISES), the server-client approach and ISES WEB CONTROL kit using only web services and web browser. Specifically we deal with a solid-state photovoltaic cells characterization using several...
The progress of internet and communication technology has called for changes in College English teaching mode. The traditional teacher centered method can't keep up with the society. The 21st century needs people who are autonomous learners. Consequently, teachers have the responsibility to implement internet and communication technology into their teaching and involve developing student's learning...
Knowledge management is all about creating an environment where information can be readily shared. The ability to understand and inventory tacit knowledge and to be able to manage and deliver that information to those who need it when they need it is achievable today. Creating a learning organization culture is critical. The future of integrated teaching and learning systems provides exciting opportunities...
Using a wiki is one of the most popular and simple way to collaborate in education. A survey conducted in electronics and computer education students in Gazi University, Faculty of Technical Education shows that wikis containing lecture materials are the most preferred source for the course following the instructor's handouts. In this paper, the combination of lecture notes, presentations and interactive...
We live in a new era known as Information and Communication Age, which is characterized by the use of technology and by the advent of the internet. At this time, the real becomes virtual and the cyberspace emerges. There are discussions about new spatiality. Education is shrouded in this process and there are discussions about its practice and the organization of its spaces. Within this new paradigm,...
The KEGA project No. 026STU-4/2011 “The model of assessing the quality vocational training in the secondary vocational schools in Slovakia” deals with the analysis of the approaches to quality assessment of vocational education and training at home and abroad, and developing and piloting a model of quality assessment of education and training at the secondary vocational schools in the Slovak Republic...
Klikin is a new online tool that has been designed for people with special needs (SEN). Klikin provides a new way to build, publish and share information on internet. Klikin is a W2id-projects product and has been funded by the EU.
Web-based language learning (WBLL) environment has provided English education a new arena where learning and teaching activities are vivified by the feats of computer and internet technology. A full development of learner autonomy can conduce to success in web-based English learning. This paper aims to find out ways to improve learner autonomy to achieve Chinese students' success in web-based English...
In R/M integrated supply chain, the collecting time, the quality and the quantity of the used-products are uncertain. All of these uncertainties have great impacts on the management of R/M integrated supply chain. By using the technology of Internet of Things, these uncertainties can be reduced efficiently. However, the R/M integrated supply chain based on IoT must face another problem: a unit product...
The sexual exploitation of children online is seen as a global issue and has been addressed by both governments and private organizations. Efforts thus far have focused primarily on the use of image hash value databases to find content. However, recently researchers have begun to use keywords as a way to detect child exploitation content. Within the current study we explore both of these methodologies...
The trend of modern war is an integrated combined operation, and combined operation requires joint support. In order to truly realize the joint, we must research and take good use of the latest technology of communication and information. Combining some technologies like RFID of Internet of Things(IoT), a command and control system of combined operation logistics support was developed, and the use...
