Our project for the problem based learning (PBL) of Neurophysiology through the WebCT platform 6.2 Complutense University of Madrid (UCM) Virtual Campus is based on the essential role of the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) as new methods of teaching physiology within the European Higher Education Area (EHEA). PBL of Neurophysiology has been carried out by a group of twelve teac...

Nowadays, the complexity of work and the dissemination of the information and communication technologies value and make group work a potential allied for the organizations. The computer support offered under the umbrella of groupware systems is based on the research from Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW). The support for the workers should be given since the group formation until its d...

While bandwidth for previous IP backbone networks deployed by Internet Service Providers typically has been limited to 34 Mbps, current and future IP networks provide bandwidth ranging from 155 Mbps to 2.4 Gbps. Thus, due to emerging network technologies cooperative Web caching among institutional proxy caches residing a wide area backbone network shows great promise to become an effective appr...

Mobile devices such as notebooks and PDAs are very interesting tools for web-based teaching and distant teaching today. We have adapted Web-based remote laboratory environments to mobile devices like PDAs and smartphones to remotely control a Pioneer 3 AT mobile robot.

In this presentation we present a framework for designing and implementing the Web-based Intelligent Education System (WIES). It was designed to provide a web-based intelligent teaching/learning environment which will adapt to the students’ different learning styles and lecturers’ different teaching strategies.

Applying the WWW for educational purposes is a major eld of research nowadays. Discussions in the public arena are largely being led by wild enthusiasm for the far-reaching possibilities ooered by this new technology and there appears to be no place for an objective review. Everything seems to be possible, no limitations are in sight. The WWW and its applications are seen as the panacea for edu...

The introduction of the new technologies of computer networks and hypermedia systems in education seems promising. However, only through experimentation can the effectiveness of these technologies be demonstrated. This was the main objective of the EONT project, in the process of which the National Technical University of Athens adapted an introductory course in Software Engineering to a novel ...
