In this paper, we discuss the addition of automatic assignment of mentors during in-class lab work to an existing online platform for programing practice. SingPath is an web based tool for users to practice programming in several software languages. The platform started as a tool to provide students with online feedback on solutions to programming problems and expanded over time to support different...
This paper describes the findings on ‘flipping the classroom’ pedagogy for one selected topic in the Software Engineering module. A flipped classroom is a form of blended learning where the lecture is moved outside the classroom with the help of technology and learning activities are moved inside the classroom. The students typically watch instructional videos outside of the classroom but participate...
A fundamental artifact of any academic research is the data used as the basis of that research effort. A group of researchers, from institutions in multiple territories, has embarked on an ambitious research project that is aimed at enhancing the teaching of software engineering in four-year undergraduate programs. The research project details a set of workshops, for which the objective is the capture...
Computer Based Instruction is no longer uncommon in the education arena in Malaysia. This instructional approach has been applied in the process of teaching and learning for many subjects, but little was applied to sports subject. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a multimedia sports courseware in teaching movement skills, which will be developed based on the Simpson's Psychomotor...
We developed software that provides intelligent hands-on bench-top dynamic help to students as they study in laboratories for introductory circuit analysis. Tutoring help is available at “teachable moments” as opposed to students waiting days or weeks for traditional teacher-graded labs reports. Quantitative and qualitative studies show that using the software leads to improved learning, verbalization...
Statics is the foundation course upon which much of the Civil and Mechanical Engineering curriculum is based. A solid understanding in this course can help to propel students through their engineering studies. In this paper, we investigate the performance of students who took part in a “flipped” mastery based engineering Statics course. Compared to the tradition classroom, where students can pass...
Nanocomposites are becoming known as a class of materials that possess the capability to operate at high switching frequencies and handle high power levels. Understanding how their loss characteristics scale and thermal behaviors change as core geometries are altered is vital when designing for grid applications. This article utilizes ANSYS Maxwell finite element analysis (FEA) software to predict...
Open Source Software (OSS) development is distributed across actors and artifacts and involves translating diffuse representations into distinct sets of contiguous code artifacts. Despite the highly distributed and dynamic nature of OSS development, it is often described in unitary, monolithic terms - an unfortunate situation which masks considerable variance across OSS development processes. Therefore...
Three artifacts were examined in a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) called Mechanical because there is no professor to offer the course. Employing the notion of inscription from actor-network theory, the analysis focuses on the action of facilitation embedded in these artifacts and the ways in which these actions unfold. Using online ethnography, this study attempts to explicate how the designers...
This paper explores the materiality of contract in relation to ICT as illuminated by a biography of contract management software. Lessons learned are: that contracting is situated, entangled and dynamic and resists abstract, closed and static approaches to automation, the importance of material dimensions of contracting such as data practices (including data definition and extraction, data entry,...
The dynamic and inter-connected nature of the current day business environment has transformed the supply chain of any enterprise into a highly complex system. However, the increased complexity of the supply chain has also made it more risk-prone. This paper presents a supply chain model for use-oriented product-service systems and proposes a complexity driven approach that deploys multiple domain...
With the rapid development of technology, more and more network courses, supported by computer technology, are designed and developed in colleges and universities in China. It is a significant revolution which reshapes traditional teaching and learning. These user-friendly network courses facilitate instructional settings or learning environment for students' self-learning, sharing information, asking...
We are developing a test case generation service that uses symbolic execution technique, to support testing of Java programs. In addition to program under test, we need drivers and stubs to execute the service. However, preparing drivers and stubs manually is a time-consuming and sometimes difficult task. In order to reduce the cost of such manual effort, we developed a tool that automates not only...
Warehouse management systems (WMS) play a critical role in supply chains and large production processes. WMS pose two crucial challenges for variability modeling and management: Firstly, the physical configuration of each warehouse differs significantly. Numerous different electronic devices like controllers, sensors, and motors are used to automate warehouses. Secondly, the processes running in a...
IndusMarker is an automated short-answer marking system based on structure-editing and structure-matching rather than extensive use of linguistic features analysis. Since IndusMarker cannot guarantee 100% human-system agreement rate, the use of IndusMarker has therefore been limited to conducting practice tests. It was expected that such a use of IndusMarker will lead to improvements in student learning...
In the process of sludge treatment, it's a very important technological link of mixing the material, but the key is how to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the feed's weight. The changes in the sludge size, shape, humidity, viscosity, weight, etc. lead to the output signals of the ordinary weighing instrument unstable, so it's difficult to achieve ideal control effect through the traditional...
In this paper we are describing useful concept for sound detection and analysis using graphical programming language — LabVIEW. This system is very cost effective and easy to scale up for establishment of correlation with crispiness of food products, breaking strength of solid objects with acoustic parameter. When the material is subjected to the force it will generate a sound before it breaks, so...
The need of improving the education quality is insparable from the strategic role of teachers. One potential solution to develop the teachers quality is the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs). In this paper, we propose a Digital Learning — Lesson Study (DL-LS) that is an implementation of Lesson Study — a teacher learning method through the study of teaching and learning process...
Digital inclusion policies also known as policies for democratization of information and communication technology are focused on helping important popular sectors access technology and build skills. We are interested that organized communities make beneficial use of digital content to solve their problems, to create networks, to produce and disseminate content, to develop their projects, to interact...
Particle therapy system simulation framework, PTSIM, is a simulation framework based on Geant4 Monte Carlo simulation. It has been developed in the project, “Development of simulation framework for advanced radiotherapy”, funded by the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) in the program of Core Research for Evolutional Research and Technology (CREST), from 2003 to 2010. The PTSIM has provided...
