Data mining refers to the technique of obtaining hidden, previously unknown and possibly significant knowledge from humongous amount of data. Data mining uses a combination of a vast knowledge base, advanced analytical skills, and domain knowledge to unveil hidden trends and patterns which can be applied in almost any sector ranging from business to medicine, then to Engineering. Nonetheless ed...

In recent years, novel paradigms of computing have emerged, which enable computational power to be embedded in artefacts and in environments in novel ways. These developments may create new possibilities for using computing to enhance learning. This paper presents the results of a design process that set out to explore interactive techniques, which utilized ubiquitous computer technology, to st...

At a university level, the conceptual stage of computerfacilitated learning (CFL) tends to be a faculty wide forum with ideas and inputs coming from many sources (e.g. academics, support staff, students). At the department level however, it is often a single academic who develops these ideas and attempts to satisfy the requirements. These requirements necessitate a full pedagogic understanding....

BACKGROUND Introduction of notebook computers in many schools has become integral to learning. This has increased students' screen-based exposure and the potential risks to physical and visual health. Unhealthy computing behaviours include frequent and long durations of exposure; awkward postures due to inappropriate furniture and workstation layout, and ignoring computer-related discomfort. ...

Cloud computing has taken place to be focused by educational and business communities. These concerns include their needs to improve the Quality of Services (QoS) provided, also services such as reliability, performance and reducing costs. Cloud computing provides many benefits in terms of low cost and accessibility of data. Ensuring these benefits is considered to be the major factor in the cl...

Cloud computing has become increasingly popular among users and businesses around the world, and education is no exception. Cloud computing can bring an increased number of benefits to an educational setting, not only for its cost effectiveness, but also for the thirst for technology that college students have today, which allows learning and adopting to these new technologies easier for them. ...
