This paper deals with the extremely pertinent problem of web crawling, which is far from trivial considering the magnitude and all-pervasive nature of the World-Wide Web. While numerous AI tools can be used to deal with this task, in this paper we map the problem onto the combinatorially-hard stochastic non-linear fractional knapsack problem, which, in turn, is then solved using Learning Automata...
Technology has created a number of ethical dilemmas that institutions at all educational levels must face, since the extended use of ICT and mobile devices in education has made easier the copy of other people's work. This study aims to explore teachers' views on plagiarism and cheating. Results are presented from a sample of 46 Greek secondary education teachers and show that more than half of the...

E-learning offers many benefits including ease of access, availability, re-usability and rich learning resources. With advances is technology, learning methods and objects have evolved from conventional text based content to multimedia and interactive knowledge objects...
Plagiarism and cheating are critical issues that jeopardize quality assurance in higher education. When it comes to e-learning and m-learning, fair use of information becomes even more crucial. This case study is an attempt to imprint academics' knowledge, beliefs and strategies regarding plagiarism and cheating. It was found that most of academics were well informed but they did not spend time in...
The use of mobile devices as learning aids is increasing due to availability and affordability of mobile phones, smartphones and tablets among students. Many learners use their handheld devices not only for calling and texting, but also for educational purposes. Some promoters and developers of mobile learning in universities are developing and delivering learning content and instructions on mobile...
The demand on online courses to achieve higher education skills and knowledge has been rising during the last years. More and more people study academic subjects in parallel of having part-time or even full-time jobs. One of the most important challenges of e-learning solutions is to reproduce the features of a higher education institution's campus as completely as possible to students who attend...
Spinal Cord Injury is one of the most important issues of medical society in the world. Problems that the disabled encounter after the accident are significant, namely pressure sores, bone mineral density loss, and disorders in circulation system. The proposed design is a new standing wheelchair that helps the disabled overcome these problems. Affordability and manufacturing problems still exist....
A swing-arm conditioning is generally adopted for chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) system to recover the surface roughness of polishing pad. However, the conditioning process results in uneven pad profile. During conditioning, locally excessive pad wear relates to the pad lifetime in CMP process. In this paper we investigate on the relationship of locally controlled swing condition and maximum...
Motivating students to learn mathematical concepts and assessing their performance and understanding in an adequate and timely manner are constant concerns for instructors of mathematics. Web-based systems provide an important, flexible instructional tool that can be used for any kind of learning at any time. Our goal here is to introduce and discuss two of the main web-based homework systems available...
These days more and more digital learning and teaching opportunities emerge into the world of higher education. In this upcoming project which is described in this paper, the teachers' needs, especially their teaching motivation will be regarded. This project is part of a bigger project, where several different faculties will work together. This combination of faculties is beneficial for topics like...
This paper reports on the main piloting of the StartUp_EU (http://www.startup.odl.org/) Lifelong Learning European Project. StartUp_EU aimed at simulating the excitement and creative innovation of starting up new company. The project developed a series of serious mini-games, an encompassing Web2.0 platform based on ILIAS Learning Content Management System (LCMS) and a collaborative competition for...
Gamification — the use of game design elements in non-game contexts — has seen rapid adoption in various areas in recent years. Its application in education is particularly promising, due to its potential to shape user behavior in desirable directions through increasing user motivation and engagement. This work-in-progress paper presents a course gamification platform aimed at supporting instructors...
Notwithstanding the fact that interest and applicability of knowledge management systems has augmented drastically during the past decade, the educational sector has struggled to garner attention in this respect. Current systems exhibit a vast amount of limitations and few instances were able to report successful implementation amongst academics and administration. This paper addresses these challenges...
While teaching using a mobile course content-management, it is not possible to decide if students are confused, bored, frustrated, surprised, focused, exhausted, angry, sad, or happy. These cues are extremely helpful to instructors in deciding whether to speed up, slow down, introduce new materials, or explain a concept in a different way. In this context, there is a strong desire to capture the social...
Establishing an Open Access Policy (OAP) in an academic institution is unlike establishing other policies the institution might have developed. An OAP in an academic institution would require the active participation of all stakeholders; researcher/faculty, library, management (Administration) and even students. OAP development in Covenant University spanned a total of 13 months; covering, draft policy...
With the growing advancement in technology and wide range of courses offered, there is a growing demand for e-learning in the global market. From the traditional classroom lecture in schools and universities and training modules given in organizations, e-learning through the use of electronic media has brought a significant change in the learning process providing new opportunities and being available...
African educational systems in general and Nigerian in particular rely extensively on the traditional face-to-face pedagogical approach to information dissemination with its attendant drawbacks. These include (but are not limited to) limited reach; need for physical contact; and a high cost of acquisition of materials. The advent of the internet and telecommunication has offered a better and faster...
Using Open Educational Resources (OER) provides opportunities for collaboration both in the classroom and beyond. Started in 2008 and gathering momentum over the past two years, now an online phenomenon, MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) reunite different perspectives over a globalized online learning. The paper analyses the use of OER and MOOCs in different study cases in Romanian universities...
The pressure delivered the wafer is an element that plays an important role for its local and global planarization in a chemical mechanical polishing process. The non-uniform pressure distribution of the wafer edge especially produces productivity and economic loss in semiconductor device production, and the non-uniform pressure distribution is largely dependent on the pressure change of the retainer...
