The requirement for high standards of professionalism in graduating Computer Science and Information Technology students suggests the applicability of experiential learning. This paper describes a capstone course that includes an assessable project based on the experiential learning framework. The project requires transnational teamwork and community engagement which engages students in a cultu...

Teaching research to undergraduates has it own challenges and involving undergraduates in research practical experience is just one of those challenges. As nursing students are in the process of becoming professional nurses, knowledge and skills in research are specific outcomes of the curriculum. One of the outcomes of the B Tech Nursing Science programme offered by the Tshwane University of T...

One of the facts of online learning is when learners engage in such learning, the rest of the Web is merely a click away. While many studies have identified an association between learners’ personal attributes and online learning experiences, few have explored the linkages among learners’ aptitude, experiences of daily social web activities, and perception of online learning.

Though quite challenging, leveraging large-scale unlabeled or partially labeled images in a cost-effective way has increasingly attracted interests for its great importance to computer vision. To tackle this problem, many Active Learning (AL) methods have been developed. However, these methods mainly define their sample selection criteria within a single image context, leading to the suboptimal...

Virtual worlds offer new possibilities for computer-mediated communication and cooperation because of their threedimensional (3D)-environment, which supports immersive feelings, and because of enhanced interactive techniques. Furthermore, interfaces exist to directly connect virtual worlds with other technologies such as social software, for example wikis, blogs, social networks, and traditiona...
