An effective learning activity in a computer programming course is to study and practice computer programs. In order to help students to submit exercises and to assist instructors to mark programming exercises, a number of program submissions and assessment systems have been developed. However, these systems do not provide sufficient support for instructors to design exercises that can help stu...

Computer algebra systems are frequently used for research. In addition, some instructors have based entire advanced courses around these systems. One benefit is that they allow students to become familiar with the methods of calculus by individual experimentation. However, instructors have generally seen computer algebra systems as unsuitable for introductory algebra since the software is capab...

Blended courses that include both face-to-face and e-learning have been offered in many universities in Taiwan but very little research has been undertaken on instructor perspectives of the challenges they faced in their e-learning teaching. This paper explores the challenges faced by university instructors in a national research-based university in Taiwan. An interpretive paradigm utilizing qu...

the purpose of educational technology is to facilitate, develop, and strengthen teaching-learning processes. computer-assisted language education technology is developed as a result of introducing information and communication technology in humanities. this technology has a multidisciplinary nature and is based on investigations carried out in theoretical and practical principles of applied lin...

english for academic purposes (eap) is a significant part of the curriculum in iranian universities. however, it seems that eap programs have been developed without a systematic needs analysis. the purpose of this study was assessing the present and target situation needs of two groups of undergraduates of computer science. a total of 320 students and 44 instructors participated in this triangu...

This study aimed at developing a Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game-based (MORPG) Learning system which enabled instructors to construct a game scenario and manage sharable and reusable learning content for multiple courses. It used the curriculum of “Introduction to Computer Science” as a study case to assess students’ learning effectiveness on the subject of “computer network”. The sample w...

Communication between students and their instructors in the lab is a limited commodity. With limited access to the tutor, students can sometimes spend a long time trying to fix simple errors, continually revisiting and repeating the same errors. Instructors, on the other hand, find themselves explaining the same mistakes over and over again. It is often not clear to them how well individual stu...
