This essay evaluates the historiography on President Jimmy Carter and implicitly compares his performance to other modern presidents. Although scholars have disagreed on most aspects of his presidency, they generally concur that he had shortcomings in leadership, management, image‐making, communication, policy coherence, and legislative relations. However, a considerable number of scholars portray...
This paper aims to specify strategies for learning scenarios that incorporate ubiquitous features to support pedagogical practice. Thus, the development aims to verify if the resources of technology with context awareness promote significant changes in teaching practice, and can impact positively or not the effectiveness of learning and engagement of learners. In this regard, a reference ubiquitous...
Teaching software engineering in a practical course in academia is considered one of the best strategies to help students understand what they will face in industry. Teamwork, coordination, communication are soft skills that are demanded in real life, but how to improve these courses to be more effective and yield better results is not clear. Software engineering — as with most computer careers —...
A lot of attention has been given to the pedagogical method referred to as "flipping" the classroom. Many previous studies and conference presentations have shown that while students do not perform any worse in flipped classrooms than in a traditional format. However, a thoughtful design of the time spent in class can improve performance. This work-in-progress paper is a narrative of one...
In order to transmit the signals by multirays connection channels the method of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing — OFDM is used. The main advantages of this technology are high resistance concerning selective fades and high frequency effectiveness. While constructing radio connection systems (RCS) with OFDM great attention is paid to the questions of creation the signal and code constructions...
This paper explores and analyses the actions of users on an e-commerce website after they have watched TV-advertising. The analysis considers factors such as month, day and time of the website visit. This article utilises visualization tools for the analysis of the frequency ratios (probabilities) of searches, conversions, bookings made by new visitors on the website.
Cloud computing technology use in higher education institutions is rapidly expanding and becoming a more integral part of the collegiate experience. This expansion of the use of cloud applications comes with some significant learning and adoption challenges to the end users along with the technical advantages that allow greater accessibility and ease of use. The influence of individual user perceptions...
The current research aimed at revealing E-learning dimensions and subjects which should be used for determining E-learning efficiencies faculty of education teacher students should own, and therefore it aimed to explore the effectiveness of Education college programs in Al-Aqsa University. For fulfilling the research objectives, the researchers utilized the descriptive analytical method, analyzing...
This extended abstract presents a method for evaluating the effectiveness of surveillance technology in intelligence work. The method contains measures against which surveillance technology would be assessed to determine its effectiveness. Further research, based on interviews of experts, will inform inform the final version of this method, including a weighting system.
This chapter explores the implications for practice of a functional approach to team leadership. In this view, the essence of team leadership is to ensure that those functions that are most critical for achieving team purposes are identified and fulfilled. It is important to consider social and personal criteria, the second and third dimensions, as well as task performance in assessing overall team...
Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) are dominating the eLearning field due to its sound pedagogical features and being open to any interest participant. Due to popularity and the demand, number of MOOCs increases at a higher rate. However, not all the MOOCs meet the goals of user. In other terms, not all the MOOCs are effective. It is vital to identify the factors affect to an effective MOOC. Since...
Code coverage is one of the main metrics to measure the adequacy of a test case/suite. It has been studied a lot in academia and used even more in industry. However, a test case may cover a piece of code (no matter what coverage metric is being used) but miss its faults. In this paper, we studied several existing and standard control and data flow coverage criteria on a set of developer-written fault-revealing...
Effectiveness in eLearning is identified as meeting the users' learning goals. It has been the subject of many researches which have led to a variety of dimensions and factors affecting it. However with the latest disruption of educational technology, MOOC has changed the perceptions of eLearning by taking eLearning to a new direction. Hence effectiveness dimensions & factors revealed before the...
Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC) is a trending phenomenon in online education. Number of participants in a MOOC and the number of MOOCs by platforms and courses are appearing to be increasing at a tremendous level. Although MOOC found to be the “buzz” word, latest reports claim that the hype of the MOOC is fading. One reason to this is because many MOOCs offered and created despite of evaluating...
In this study, an improved equipment effectiveness evaluation method based on the cloud theory was proposed to remedy the deficiency in the existing cloud evaluation methods. And the evaluation process was designed: got the index cloud model by the reverse cloud algorithm, determined the weight cloud model by the improved formula weighting method, obtained the system effectiveness cloud model by the...
Knowledge Visualization can be a valuable support for facilitating a number of cognitive and collaborative tasks in organizations. The aim of this paper is to provide concrete evidence of how visual templates provide useful support for teams, which lead to higher quality of idea generation and sharing, compared to unstructured meetings. Evidence is provided through the illustration of a field study...
Teaching and learning processes of certain subjects are mainly teacher-centred. This approach leads to decrease attention and interest among students due to having no interaction. Game is a relatively new tool to serve educational purposes. However, there is little research dedicated to massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs) developed for educational purposes. This research provides...
Business models have evolved through the years. The collective online shopping systems emerge in 2008, and may be considered as an effective promotion tool for business partners. In this context, the objectives of this research paper are: i) to characterize the collective online shopping sites and the promotional campaigns; ii) to evaluate the perception of the business partners on the effectiveness...
