In this cross-sectional study, we surveyed 89 students from four courses to elicit their expectations of the nature of the skills and knowledge, and the degree of self-management and collaboration, which was required for their courses. We compared their responses to the expectations set out in the New Zealand Qualifications Framework. We also sampled a small number (6) of lecturers and compared...

Developed tool is one of system tools for easier access to various scientific areas and real time interactive learning between lecturer and for hearing impaired students. There is no demand for the lecturer to know Sign Language (SL). Instead, the new software tools will perform the translation of the regular speech into SL, after which it will be transferred to the student. On the other side, ...

Fully automated test-based grading is crucial to cope with large numbers of student homework code. AuDoscore extends JUnit and keeps the task of creating exercises and corresponding grading tests simple. Students have a set of public smoke tests available. Grading also uses additional secret tests that check the submission more intensely. AuDoscore ensures that submissions cannot call libraries...

Prior conducted research revealed that the auditory icons could contribute in supporting the virtual lecturers in presence of full body animation while delivering the learning content in e-learning interfaces. This paper presents further empirical investigation into the use of these supportive auditory icons by comparing three different e-learning interfaces in terms of usability aspects; effec...

CONTEXT Student evaluations of teaching (SETs) inform faculty promotion decisions and course improvement, a process that is predicated on the assumption that students complete the evaluations with diligence. Anecdotal evidence suggests that this may not be so. OBJECTIVES We sought to determine the degree to which medical students complete SETs deliberately in a classroom-style, multi-instruct...

In this paper we present our work on audio-visual perception of a lecturer in a smart seminar room, which is equipped with various cameras and microphones. We present a novel approach to track the lecturer based on visual and acoustic observations in a particle filter framework. This approach does not require explicit triangulation of observations in order to estimate the 3D location of the lec...
