This paper considers professional learning communities (PLC) and the role that they have in a developing secondary School in New South Wales, Australia. A brief identification and discussion of the importance of professional learning is presented, together with an examination of the effects of professional learning on teachers and subsequent classroom practice. Models and frameworks that have b...

This paper summarizes theoretical framework and preliminary data for a planned action research project in a secondary education institution with the intention to improve teachers` digital skills and capacity for educational ICT use through establishment of a professional learning community and development of cooperation between the school and a university. This study aims to fill the gap of kno...

This paper presents the first results of a propagation model applied to PLC in aircraft to get the narrow band and wide band channel characteristics. One of the possible applications deals with data communication for the cabin lighting system. Index Terms PLC, Aircraft, Propagation Model, Path loss, Delay Spread.

Presented in the paper is the PLC symbol naming rules in order to simulate the virtual factory which is operated by the PLC control logic. In the PLC simulation, the corresponding model, normally called as the plant model, to the PLC receives the PLC output signal, operates virtual devices, and sends the changed PLC input signal which is updated by the virtual device movements. Therefore the pl...

Power Line Communication (PLC) technologies are being used in many applications and offer the advantage of utilizing existing power cables for both data transmission, thus minimizing cost complexity. Nevertheless, PLC technology requires further investigation to solve possible co-existence issues. Indeed, recent studies confirmed that alternative modulation schemes such as Random Pulse Width Mo...
