With the popularization of multimedia technology in the application on teaching, the actual application on teaching software has become a major problem that computer-assisted instruction (CAI) in-depth developed. Constructing a scientific, objective, and fair evaluation system of multimedia teaching software has become imperative. By combining current characteristics of CAI and various evaluati...

Kinetic art, such as mobile sculptures and balance toys, is art that involves movement. The design of original kinetic art is difficult because one must consider physics in order to predict the result. Current computer aided design (CAD) and computer aided engineering (CAE) tools are of limited use when designing such dynamic objects because typically these systems are entirely separated. In th...

This study explored the autonomy of advanced English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners in reading comprehension through scaffolding and jigsaw in computer-assisted and conventional contexts. After being homogenized through the reading section of DIALANG proficiency test, a total of 80 female advanced EFL learners with the age range of 21 to 45 were selected as the participants of the study. ...

in this study two modes ofreading (car and traditional print mode) were compared in regards to their effectiveness for l2 reading comprehension. a group of 120 english major students were divided into three classes: car, traditional, and control. based on the english proficiency scores each class was divided into two groups (high and low levels of proficiency). three classes were taught by the ...

objective: as psychiatrists or psychotherapists, many of us may have had contact with people by e-mail and/or through online ‘chat rooms’. these people may write to us about their various problems, especially in their interpersonal relationships; discuss their queries about conflicts with their spouse, partner, and friends; or complained of low self-esteem and problems at work. in this article,...

Computer-aided design (CAD) uses computer based facility to assist engineers and design professionals in their day to day activities. As a fundamental engineering skill, CAD software is normally taught to the first year undergraduate student. Unlike the other undergraduate engineering courses, the CAD teaching mainly relies on one to one teaching and learning environment. This requires extensiv...

This paper describes a supporting tool for medical doctors, providing the automatic definition of radiation volumes (planning target volume, PTV) for conformal radiotherapy computed on detected tumor areas (gross tumor volume, GTV) within radiographic images. First, the recognized brain tumor is geometrically reconstructed and visualized in three-dimensional space. Then, the respective growth d...

This paper introduces wireless sensor networks for Ambient Assisted Living as a proof of concept. Our workgroup has developed an arrhythmia detection algorithm that we evaluate in a closed space using a wireless sensor network to relay the information collected to where the information can be registered, monitored and analyzed to support medical decisions by healthcare providers. The prototype ...

The aim of our research is to design and develop a new online collaborative translation environment suitable for the way in which the online volunteer translators work. In this paper, we discuss thus how to exploit collaborative Wiki-based technology for the design of the online collaborative computer-aided translation (CAT) environment TRANSBey, which is currently under development. The system...
