type: Educational Initiative NEEDS STATEMENT / OBJECTIVES Web-based teaching is widely used in medical education, however there is a paucity of literature comparing different online learning modalities. Such comparison may inform educators of more effective online teaching methods. In this before/after observational study, we evaluated the effectiveness of a web-based, mixed media Critical Care...

When talking about the process of Romanian language teaching, learning and using language, leads us to idea that we are faced with a considerably large number variables. No matter what happens during process, there is always something good acquire put into practice. Despite this “methodological painkiller”, boosting efficiency determining factor. In practical, everyday management classes, it co...

The development of distance education put forward higher requirements for WEB courseware, it should update teaching content based on the degree of students. This article proposes a resource sharing model of courseware based on semantic web so as to solve the problem of courseware in the teaching process. It takes Resource sharing based on SCORM courses object model as a framework and use XML to...

Internet technologies recently have developed extremely fast. The development of WWW applications has increased the accessibility of the Internet. New information and communication technologies are developing and playing a growing role in engineering education. Based on these technologies and new teaching methodologies, this study designed a cooperative distance-education paradigm for engineeri...

This paper introduces a new CBIR system based on segmented images and fuzzy similarity measures. It gives the possibility to the user to specify a set of regions, and to retrieve images containing these regions in an approximate spatial configuration. It also supports competitive queries, and allows the expert-user to manipulate the parameters of the functions involved. In this manuscript we fo...

The paper describes an evolutionary distribution system for web-based teaching materials that can sophisticate teaching materials stored in the system spontaneously. The system consists of web server, assisting tools and repository of teaching materials represented as HTML/XML data. The layered structure of the information model of teaching materials enables to treat content of teaching materia...

School-based intelligent tutoring systems present a unique, largely untapped, teacherdevelopment opportunity. Research on teacher content knowledge has shown that effective teachers develop a specialised 'pedagogical content knowledge' for teaching mathematics. Schoolbased tutors provide a rich record of the student learning process. This record can be mined for insights that contribute to teac...

This paper presents a general architecture for ancient handwriting documents content description and retrieval. It is based on the Curvelets decomposition of images for indexing linear singularities of handwritten shapes. As it belongs to the Wavelets family, its representation is used at several scales of details. The proposed scheme for handwritten shape characterization targets to detect ori...
