This interactive teaching gem shows the convolution concept for continuous signals and discrete samples. Signals occurring frequently in computer graphics education are predefined; others can be drawn or integrated easily. We explain how the material can be used for in-class demonstration and for homework, and describe the experiences we made with two courses on image processing and introductio...

This methodology facilitates a continuous improvement of the LMS, and includes an inferential analysis which relates usage statistics to education...

The paper covers state of the art and latest development of piezoelectric motors at Kaunas University of Technology (Lithuania), that are related to the R&D of laser scanning and deflecting devices, measuring systems, nano-resolution positioning devices on the plane, various applications including teaching aids for Mechatronics studies and even “intelligent” toys. All presented motors are oneor...

Small group learning combined with innovative teaching methods were introduced at tertiary level to teach computer-related subjects. Teams were constituted according to Belbin’s theory of effective team building. A study conducted over two years showed that certain qualities needed in the IT field were lacking in these students.
