1. Abstract In the context of educational institutions, small distributed data centers and labs are becoming increasingly expensive to provision, support and maintain on their own. This leads to preferences towards centralized and integrated data center resource management and network access to the resources. In turn, the data centers are undergoing a transformation driven by the nature of the ...

The interest on educational remote laboratories has increased, as have the technologies involved in their development and deployment. These laboratories enable students to use real equipment located in the university from the Internet. This way, students can extend their personal learning experience by testing with real equipment what they are studying at home, or performing hands-onlab session...

background. teaching assessment is a process of collecting and analyzing data in order to make a judgment on merits and limitations of a teaching program. thus, assessment would be an important and practical instrument to improve teaching quality. purpose. the main objective of the research is quality improvement of medical education, and specific objectives are set as study of output factors o...

LIBRARIES CENTERS have historically A N D MEDIA been facilities in which recorded information and, more recently, equipment needed to display that information, have been centralized for the convenience of students and other users of such information. During the past decade a subtle but very important shift has taken place in the importance of local access to information. In the library applicat...

In this paper we study the determinants and distribution of Argentina ́s educational quality measured by PISA 2000 reading test scores. To do that, we estimate educational production functions at the mean of the distribution using survey weighted regressions and at different parts of the score ́s distribution with quantile regressions. We also estimate the Theil 2 Index of inequality applied to t...

Features common to educational robotics and to the recent concept of the fourth industrial Revolution, "Industry 4.0", have been identified, making it possible to consider educational robotics as the basic, most suitable site To prepare rising generations to succeed in the post of industrial production. An analysis of the objectives to be achieved in organizing a session with robotic devices. I...

This paper introduces a new suite of computer simulations from the Physics Education Technology (PhET) project, identifies features of these educational tools, and demonstrates their utility. We compare the use of PhET simulations to the use of more traditional educational resources in lecture, laboratory, recitation and informal settings of introductory college physics. In each case we demonst...
