The vividly discussed ACM Computing Curriculum initiatives identify the CS Body of Knowledge. There are many online educational resources. As observed in [Cunningham02]: „However, the quality of many if not most of this material is not clearly or immediately discernible, thus diminishing its value by requiring substantial evaluation and modification work to make it usable by educators.“ The ref...

This chapter presents a pedagogical model and a technological platform consisting of web and mobile technologies designed to support a mix of formal and informal, indoor and outdoor learning experiences. In particular, the platform is a reconfigurable system that can be adapted to support different kinds of learning formats. Two case studies will be presented to describe how the proposed pedago...

In recent years, virtual learning environments are gaining more and more momentum, considering both the technologies deployed in their support and the sheer number of terminals directly or indirectly interacting with them. This essentially means that every day, more and more smart devices play an active role in this exemplary Web of Things scenario. This digital revolution, affecting education,...

The looking education on the internet, the wonderful web-based education environment has become one of the warm points on researching remote education. Cloud computing is rising rapidly, with applications in almost all area, including education.Cloud computing builds on decades of research in virtualization, distributed computing, utility computing, and more recently networking, web and softwar...

INTRODUCTION Technology has the potential to improve both the efficacy and efficiency of the educational experience from the perspective of both students and teachers. Specifically, educational repositories can enhance the quality of education through the provision of a diverse set of learning materials, and enhance the efficiency of education by affording the reuse of stored objects. To that e...

Education is an expensive process and the quality of an education program is largely affected by resources devoted to it. Availability of qualified instructors and physical amenities such as labs are the most important resources that determine the educational quality. Based on the graduate Information Systems curriculum recommendation of Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and Association...

x t s N i x x ABSTRACT In this study, we describe some Network Design Problems (NDPs) as well as the network flowbased improvement algorithm for neighbourhood search defined by cycles. The main part of the study is structured around the formulation of the expected duration of stay in the educational system as a NDP. The fundamental matrix of the absorbing Markov chain is employed in computing t...

The landscape of technology in the developing world is changing significantly, primarily due to the rapid expansion of mobile computing devices. These changes make it important to re-evaluate practices for internet and communications technology for development (ICT4D). This paper examines three alternative paradigms for educational technology in the developing world: traditional classroom syste...

Multimodal interfaces allow a smooth human-computer interaction,and connection between real and digital worlds to be entirely transparent to the user. Most current educational applications using this kind of interfaces does not support collaboration and they are not adaptable. Furthermore, few models have been developed for development of these applications. In this paper, we propose a prelimin...

service oriented architecture (soa) technology enables composition of large and complex computational units out of the available atomic services. implementation of soa brings about challenges which include service discovery, service interaction, service composition, robustness, quality of service, security, etc. these challenges are mainly due to the dynamic nature of soa. soamay often need to ...
