The current tendencies of advanced technologies application in modern school are described. The main indicators of e-learning systems development for engineering education are outlined, among them: availability and quality of e-learning, individualization and integrity of learning, need of advanced technologies. There are promising directions for use of cloud computing in e-learning systems management:...
The use of ICT does not yield automatically an improvement in educational outcomes, a careful analysis of what and how students learn should be undertaken. To achieve an effective learning process, higher education teachers need to re-assess teaching and assessment methods to meet students' needs and preferences. In our paper we present a project-based online collaborative teaching/learning methodology...
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...
No design, no business. Higher test score doesn't represent better global competitiveness. Creativity is central to the competitive capabilities of 21st century citizens and thus creativity education should play crucial role for every grade curricular. However, the development of creative potential requires work and incubation over time. It takes more efforts than standard curricula can afford. What...
In order to support self-directed or subjective learning it is important that learner's own knowledge are acquired and utilized in the learning process. It means that teaching material added by acquired knowledge should be different from each other. The learning process based on the teaching material is very personal and also a self-check for learning results is personal. Therefore it is necessary...
Learning Object (LO) is one of the main research topics in the e-learning community in the recent years, and most researchers pay attention to the issue of Learning Object Reusability. The most obvious motivation is the economic interest of reusing learning material instead of repeatedly authoring it. In this paper we present the process of creating granular learning object for enabling the reusing...
The problem of rural education is the key problem of Chinese education in future, the development of rural teachers is the central problem. The Chinese governments have adopted series strategies to train rural teachers in many ways, but the effects are barely satisfactory. How to improve the rural teachers' professional level quickly and widely is an era proposition. The attributes of E-Learning are...
Due to the trend of individualization and adaptation of e-Learning, more and more SCORM-compliant teaching materials are developed by institutes and individuals in different sites. Also, cloud computing environments are emerging as powerful infrastructures to support e-Learning applications. Therefore, how to rapidly retrieve SCORM-compliant documents on cloud computing environments has become an...
As the ‘third age’ of human life becomes noticeably longer, the opportunity for elderly to obtain new skills reduces the tendency to consider this period of life as being disadvantaged. Hence, the fundamental aim of the project PRIMER-ICT was to educate older people in four participating countries (Slovenia, Ireland, UK and Austria) in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) skills/practice...
The contribution deals with possibilities and practical utilization of animated components in educational process with the scope of technologies used in microelectronic industry. The effort in this area is the part of evolvement of multimedia support in education process at the Department of Technologies in Electronics of Technical University of Košice. With utilization of multimedia components were...
This paper is a description of a complex e-learning system that will be implemented at the Department of Technologies in Electronics at Technical university of Košice, which should help us to increase the quality of education of the technologies in electronics. This paper is also an overview of the used technologies and planed features of the system, such as online and offline video and audio streaming,...
The article describes the possibilities of teaching the subject “Design Systems in Electronics” (DSiE) in the second year of engineering study “Advanced materials and technology in automotive electronics”. The idea of teaching the course is the maximum engagement of students in creative activities during the study, which culminated in the presentation of the proposed work in the field of Printed Circuit...
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...
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...
This paper presents the development of an e-learning system for language learning and teaching. This system is characterized by its interactivity and socialization, constant support and immediate assessment of learners' linguistic performance. These distinguishing pedagogical features played an important role in the system development process. Aspects concerning the choice of the methodology, the...
This paper presents the results of the implementation of pre-laboratory questionnaires in different subjects taught in technical degrees. We studied the main variables for the design and application through e-learning platform. This type of questionnaire allows each student assessing his/her knowledge before a practical session. It promotes student interest and thus, better use of resources. The effectiveness...
The paper deals with the eLearning and its potential at the university level of education. The students' point of view is highlighted. The core of the contribution forms a quantitative-qualitative research. The research was based on a comparison of students' attitudes and evaluation of the demandingness of one selected university course. Data were gained in the traditional face-to-face lessons and...
With the introduction of the Internet, and several new inventions and technologies especially in the communication and computer systems' field, there is a need to enhance teaching and educational methods through the utilization of those technologies which may improve the abilities of educators to present information in an interactive and media enhanced formats relative to traditional methods. This...
Today recommender systems are widely used not only in e-commerce but in e-learning as well. They are actually made use of in the latter environment to suggest resources and learning materials to learners and, thus, contribute in improving the quality of both teaching and learning. In this paper, we put forward a new recommendation system that provides learners with the most appropriate answers and...
E-learning often is perceived as something that, on the technical level, can be addressed by designing an e-learning system, which often is equipped with a Web-based interface. We argue that this traditional approach of e-learning system design should be reversed in today's Web-oriented environment, in the sense that e-learning applications should be designed as well-behaving Web citizens and expose...
