In the wake of coronavirus pandemic, social distancing became a mandate that led to transition from traditional classroom-based lectures computer-based learning. This paper extensively deals with ranking challenges faced by instructors and students. Primary data 624 participants (399 students 225 instructors) is collected through questionnaire. To assign challenges, Technique Order Preference S...

In a Finnish study of four different academic disciplines, Ylijoki (2000) found that in Computer Science there was a disparity between the conceptions held by undergraduate students and staff about their discipline; students viewed it as being far more pragmatic and results focused than did their instructors. Not surprisingly, here at our Australian university where the undergraduate Computer S...

⎯Authoring tools for Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITSs) have recently received a lot of attention from researchers in computer-based education. The reason for this is that they may provide environments where instructors may author their own ITSs in varying domains. In this way, painful constructions of ITSs, which may not be reusable, are avoided. However, the construction of an authoring tool...

This study analyzed the factors that affect student success in an online computer programming course. The study had two with two main objectives. The first was to examine relationships among selected variables (gender, age, educational level, locus of control, and learning style), motivational beliefs (intrinsic goal orientation, extrinsic goal orientation, control beliefs, task value, self-eff...

Over the course of instruction, instructors generally collect a great deal of information about each student. Integrating that information intelligently requires models for how a student’s proficiency changes over time. Armed with such models, instructors can filter the data—more accurately estimate the student’s current proficiency levels—and forecast the student’s future proficiency levels. T...

This is the Summer 2005 version of the Instructor’s Solution Manual for Introduction to Graph Theory, by Douglas B. West. A few solutions have been added or clarified since last year’s version. Also present is a (slightly edited) annotated syllabus for the onesemester course taught from this book at the University of Illinois. This version of the Solution Manual contains solutions for 99.4% of ...

Applied bioinformatics skills are becoming ever more indispensable for biologists, yet incorporation of these skills into the undergraduate biology curriculum is lagging behind, in part due to a lack of instructors willing and able to teach basic bioinformatics in classes that don't specifically focus on quantitative skill development, such as statistics or computer sciences. To help undergradu...

Computer mediated communication is rapidly assuming an integral role in the university education experience. This is especially true for auditorium-style classes, which may potentially include hundreds of students. In such classes, the instructor may seek a more efficient means of communicating. The two emerging audio-visual media distribution channels, podcast and webcast augment the existing ...
