In 2006 the InterLabs Research Institute (IRI) at Bradley University (Peoria, IL, U.S.A.) organized and managed multiple face-to-face and online surveys worldwide regarding 2006-2010 perspectives of various aspects of top quality Web-based education (...

We have developed a teaching improvement support system utilizing a web-based teaching portfolio provided with a VOD-compatible animated video clip function. This system has been used by active teachers since last year. This teaching portfolio has ...

Establishing a suitable environment for multimedia course production is important for e-learning authors. Such an environment includes two primary components: an authoring station for preparing the artifacts and a physical workplace where authoring ...

Various types of recent research projects and surveys confirm a tremendous growth of streaming multimedia technology utilization worldwide due to its great potential for the top quality Web-based education (WBE) and Web-based training (WBT). Broadband ...

The article reviews the usage of a graph-automaton model of an adaptive distance learning and knowledge control system aimed at addressing the issue of optimal control of the quanta of knowledge stream in the process of students' perception of the ...

This paper describes lessons learned using two versions of textbook for "C" programming language: classical and electronic. The Advanced school of electrical engineering in Belgrade offers two versions of course for this programming language learning: ...

Some studies question if web-based inquiry is as practical tasks for developing inquiry skills. We have hypothesised that particular effectiveness depends on the support system that outperforms the guidance of a teacher in a classroom situation. For ...

In this paper we present a method for the formal specification of learning objectives, which is intended to enable their management and use in the automated construction of personalized courses. Such a specification is also intended to be sufficiently ...

This study explains an Internet - Based Mechatronic Laboratory which has been setup as a solution for problems encountered in the practical training of technical education. The study consists of five sections. In the first section, the problem is ...

The rapid development of information and communication technologies has enabled the creation of networks for e-learning and telemedicine. The EMISPHER network has been dedicated to bridge the digital divide in the Euro-Mediterranean healthcare area. In ...

At Queensborough Community College, with the support of the National Science Foundation (Advanced Technological Education grant awards #DUE - 9752061 and DUE - 0402332), we have addressed the issues of distance learning in laboratory courses. We have ...

With increasing frequency, educators desire to capture video output displayed by a computer to use in creating multimedia teaching materials. Simple in concept, the process in execution can be time-consuming and fraught with difficulties, especially ...

Remote laboratories are gaining prominence in university education, especially in respect of their ability to support distance education by allowing students to carry out experiments without being near the actual equipment and also by providing secure, ...

A remote access networking laboratory is a learning environment for studying communications engineering. The obvious benefits of such environments include the possibility for higher utilization of this expensive resource by sharing the laboratory ...

Authoring education resources has long been a serious problem and seems to be a bottleneck of many education systems. Attracted by the huge amount of Web resources that can be potentially useful for multiple educational purposes, we have applied ...

This paper proposes that with the right hardware and software tools, it is possible to: (1) engage students during lecture with short in-class exercises to help them to learn course material immediately, (2) provide students with feedback on how they ...

It is accepted worldwide; that Problem Based Learning (PBL) is a very fine method to improve learning motivation and to satisfy the students being more innovative and creative. Progress in learning is supported by teaching, individual and team ...

EFit is the first web based tutoring system for lower secondary school mathematics in Germany. It generates a systematic learning schedule to meet the individual demands of different students. In contrast to the more traditional Computer Assisted ...

Web-based learning tools are often introduced in addition to face-to-face teaching as an extra resource for students to train themselves outside the classroom. How can teachers know whether and how these tools represent an added value for students__ __ ...

Personalized adaptive learning system aims to make efficient learning activity by considering the learner at the center of the system. Unfortunately, this system does not have complete learner profile because learners use multiple learning systems to ...

ProgrammingLand, as a resource for Computer Science instruction, continues to evolve and improve. ProgrammingLand delivers content, monitors student activities, contains a variety of educational exercises and may make assignments. Certain facilities of ...

This paper describes an integrated development environment (IDE) which web authors may use to add synthesized speech to their browser-based presentations. Web authors use the IDE to input the text to be spoken. The IDE embeds that text within the HTML ...

The purpose of this study is to explore the architecture for collaborative learning environment, in which individual learning and collaborative learning are smoothly connected. We proposed the composition model of a collaborative workplace, and the ...

This paper describes our web-based design, Juming Museum Explorer (http://artsnsc.tmue.edu.tw/juming-en/index.html) to support students' inquiry learning. By integrating educational theory with advanced technology, we provide students with a fun and ...

When designing software, a correspondence between the particular situation and the model should be established. Morphism may be defined generally as a mapping from one element of a domain into another. It is more detailed and specific than the concept ...

Teaching in on-line and collaborative situations requires a variety of responses including changes in pedagogy as instructors taking the role of facilitators of information while guiding students toward solutions. In order for online learning to be ...

At the last Annual Conference of Japan Society of Educational Technology (JSET) in 2005 and the Third WebCT Workshop in Japan, we have proposed a new mathematical analysis method of learning process via e-Learning which applied Complex Networks Theory. ...

In this paper we present the idea of detachable learning environments, i.e. web pages, containing a few lessons or whole courses, not requiring a synchronous Internet connection to be browsed, edited or to interact with them. We discuss their use in ...

This paper deals with adaptation and personalisation of a learning environment in digital learning games for adults. There is a great demand for research that considers the learner-centred approach in learning games. Learners should be able to determine ...

E-learning offers a new context for education where large amounts of information describing the continuum of the teaching-learning interactions are endlessly generated and ubiquitously available. But raw information by itself may be of no help to any of ...
