In this paper, we analyze a main future development in HCI in the direction of ubiquitous computing. Based on these considerations we describe the underpinnings, design and development of Develop This! (DevThis) as a set of educational modules to teach the theory and practice aspects of ubiquitous computing within the Bachelor curriculum of Media Technology at Rotterdam University. Finally, we ...

The term “Cloud Computing” does not primarily specify new types of core technologies but rather addresses features to do with integration, inter-operability and accessibility. Although not new, virtualization and automation are core features that characterize Cloud Computing. In this paper, we intend to explore the possibility of integrating cloud services with educational scenarios without re-...

327 The problems of architectural education in general and CAD education in particular are discussed. The paper suggests that the computing requirements of architectural practice are different to those of architectural education and that much of the software used in schools of architecture is not used in an educationally structured way. A number of proposals for the educational use of computers...

We propose a maturity model for computing education which is inspired by the Capability Maturity Model (CMM) used in software engineering. Similar to CMM, the Computing Education Maturity Model (CEMM) can be used to rate educational organisations according to their capability to deliver highquality education on a five level scale. Furthermore, CEMM can be used in order to improve an institution...

This paper presents evidence describing how a single player typing game, designed for use on a low-cost (~US$10) computing platform, was utilized as a computer-supported collaborative learning activity. The group computer interaction was found to consistently induce verbal language experiences that extended the potential educational utility of the highly limited 8-bit computing platform. Buildi...

Cloud computing is a new paradigm in E-learning environment. It offers a wide range of facilities to students and teachers, especially in the universities to ease out their problem in terms of documents sharing, course material distribution and handling, desktop sharing by the teachers to teach their students, and in terms of Voice Over IP (VOIP) and video conferencing for the smooth communicat...
