We faced the problem of deciding what is important when revising the contents of a Web Programming course. Torn between balancing industrial expectations and our vision of Web development based on research conducted at our University, we formed a set of topics that were first used during the Spring 2010. In this paper we report on the driving forces for the changes, how we structured the conten...

Computers have entered into all walks of our life and products made by real-time technology are innumerable. Higher education institutions must see this trend and prepare their gradates to satisfy society's needs. Information Systems curriculum recommended by DPMA 1] is not adequate in this regard. In this paper, we explain our rationale in incorporating real-time systems into our information s...

1. These notes are the second half of the contents of the course given by the second author at the Bachelier Seminar (8-15-22 February 2008) at IHP. They also correspond to topics studied by the first author for her Ph.D.thesis. 2. Unlike Part A of the course ([3]), this document still raises a number of questions, pertaining to various extensions of the classical Black-Scholes formula. 3. Comm...

Twelve years ago I introduced a B course at Ensimag, a wellknown french Mathematics and Computer Science engineer school. In this paper I describe this experiment and the evolution of the contents of this course. In particular I present a set of fundamental concepts that can be easily illustrated with the help of the B framework. I also present some unpublished examples and theoretical results.

As the software industry moves towards software development projects involving several sites around the world, universities should incorporate this trend into their software engineering curricula. This paper describes the experiences from the development of a university course in distributed software development. Some of the problems of distributed development make it inherently difficult to tr...

AIM To evaluate the effectiveness and appropriateness of a course that promotes familiarity with biomedical periodicals and teaches efficient reading skills. METHODS A 16-hour course was designed to help inexperienced readers gain confidence navigating the contents of a research paper (instead of reading only abstracts), and make the first steps to critical appraisal. The course consisted of ...

Some aspects of eLearning experience can be enhanced in a very natural way by using the basic tools offered by fuzzy logic. As a matter of example, consider the uncontrolled growth of information produced in a collaborative-oriented context, in which each participant (e.g. students, teachers) is able to insert and share new contents (e.g. comments, texts) concerning a university course. All the...

abstract   background and purpose: traditional lecture-based teaching has been long used to transit theoretical knowledge to the participants. due to some problems of this didactic approach, some believe that integration within an active method is more valuable in nursing education. in this study, we hypothesized that integrating lecture-based teaching within clerkship course would enhance nurs...

the course of consecutive experiments in this report aimed to a research or introductory identification about mechanical and acoustical properties of maple (acer velutinum) wood. studied factors were included quality factor (due to internal friction), acoustic coefficient, acoustical conversion efficiency as well as the modulus of elasticity (young’s modulus) which they were all accomplished us...

A course offering is a collection of learning objects composed together based on a syllabus. Syllabi define the contents of the course, as well as other information such as resources and assignments. Currently, there is no standard format for representing syllabi that can facilitate automatic processing of syllabi contents for various applications. In this paper, we report on the current practi...
