Most web-based e-learning platforms for teaching and learning can record individual action history of the access to course materials and activities. In general, the click through rate (CTR) is recorded as the action to represent the history of people who review the course online. By analyzing CTR only would exclude the important information from the visual behaviors. This study proposed a different...
Effective engineering students have to be able to utilize a variety of critical study, metacognitive and communication skills. At the same time, teaching has to apply appropriate methods to foster understanding for all learning preferences. The first half of the paper presents data from engineering students in three different continents that compare their proficiencies in learning. This is followed...
With the rapid growth of network technologies, Web-based learning conquers the limits of time and location in traditional teaching and is increasing its popularity. However, most of the learning websites lacks of the convenient tools in packaging the information users are interested in. Therefore, the information posted and exchanged in the websites is not easy to be extracted and reused somewhere...
Meuruno is a simple mobile learning system that enables a teacher to nudge their students to review previously taught materials. Meuruno relies on the very basic SMS technology for its service that makes it especially suited for mobile-connected developing countries like Indonesia. A pilot study of Meuruno, in a real world learning situation, not only produced an increase in students' understanding...
Students with vision impairment have enormous challenges and difficulties accessing graphical educational materials. The predominant usage of graphical information in e-Learning environments makes them inaccessible for blind or vision-impaired students. This paper describes university research project on accessibility improvement in graphical presentation of educational information. Packet Tracer...
The introductory continuous-time signals and systems (CTSS) course is widely considered to be one of the most difficult courses in electrical and computer engineering (ECE) curricula. This interactive workshop explores the sources of difficulty and presents some approaches to help improve learning and understanding. It will begin with a discussion about learning difficulties that are identified by...
Because they help readers link the results of research to everyday practice, case studies and tutorials are popular formats for articles published in the IEEE Transactions on Professional Communication. Case studies explain in-depth the challenges that occurred on a particular technical or professional communication project. They describe the problem faced, the objectives and constraints of the project,...
The paper introduces a fuzzy system meant to control the oxygen pressure and amperage of a CNC metal plate cutting machine. The fuzzy system control the oxygen pressure and the amperage by analyzing the plate thickness and type, which eliminates the possible human error in making such decision. The system was implemented using as hardware a Simatic S7-\300 PLC.
This paper reports on a user study to gauge user interaction with RSS based mobile electronic updates from a Moodle based virtual learning environment. The electronic updates can be received in three dimensions of context: time, location and activity. The study aims to compare and evaluate the effectiveness of these context dimensions by comparing the level of user engagement. The mobile updates relate...
One-to-one computing is an active and widely researched topic in educational technology. Its benefits include, for instance, easily up datable material base, anywhere-anytime learning, adaptability, and simulated experiments in science. The use of one-to-one computing in a developing country context has recently become an active research topic. However, the materialization of the educational benefits...
Product Life-Cycle Management (PLCM) starts when the idea of a product is born and lasts until complete dismissal through steps as requirements, analysis, design, part manufacturing, assembly, testing, diagnostics and operation, advertisement, service, maintenance, etc. Sustainable development or sustainability means — among others — to use as little materials, energy and water as possible. Our topics...
This paper presents two investigations on the use of English learning strategies in web-based and conventional environments. Through data analysis, implications drawn from the research are discussed in terms of two areas. The first is to construct a strategic learning mode in web-based environments. The second is to discuss how to develop learners' English-learning strategy awareness in web-based...
Although numerous studies have been conducted on learning resources recommendation in E-Learning, research extending this investigation into usage of users' contextual information is rare. This paper presents an innovative architecture of an intelligent personalized context-aware recommendation system in an E-Learning environment. The system offers users by recommending learning materials, tutors,...
The lifetime of insulators for Ultra High Voltage Overhead Transmission Lines (UHV OHTL) for voltages of 765 kV or 1100 kV is currently restricted to limited years due to unknown effects regarding the onset of streamer discharge. To overcome this limit special insulators are developed that incorporate a microvaristor layer thus restricting the peak field strength to 0.5 kV/mm (according to the switching...
In this paper, an electronic components inventory model with fuzzy multi-parameters is considered. Economic order quantity (EOQ) is developed for optimal order quantity with all parameters assumed to be exact or crisp. Actually these parameters are not precise while varying over a range. In such case fuzzy set theory is applied to electronic components inventory planning and control problems. With...
Software engineering project courses where student teams are geographically distributed can effectively simulate the problems of globally distributed software development (DSD). However, this pedagogical model has proven difficult to adopt or sustain. It requires significant pedagogical resources and collaboration infrastructure. Institutionalizing such courses also requires compatible and reliable...
