This paper deals with the issue of the accessibility of multimedia educational software. The problem is tackled from the viewpoint of standards, that is of the rules to be adopted at institutional level in order to guarantee access to educational software to all students, including those with special needs. The key question to be answered is if regulations in force for ICT tools also fully cove...

SimSE is an educational software engineering simulation game that uses a unique software process modeling approach. This approach combines both predictive and prescriptive aspects to support the creation of dynamic, interactive, graphical models for software engineering process education. This paper describes the different constructs in a SimSE process model, introduces the associated model bui...

Introduction: Today, progressing science and technology atall domains, including education and research, will bring newopportunities to resolve the communication and interactionproblems. The aim of this study was to determine potential factorsaffecting the thesis supervision and provide a web-based solution.Methods: This is a developmental study conducted in two<br...

Proprietary software tools, though not designed for educational use, have considerable educational potential. This paper describes, as case studies, the use of proprietary graphicsand audio-editing tools in two distance-taught courses produced by the Department of Information and Communication Technologies at the UK Open University – Europe’s largest distance teaching institution. The paper exa...

In designing, developing and evaluating educational software supporting reasoning, three aspects are important. The first is the cognitive domain of practice, relating to the nature of reasoning and the idea of support. The second aspect relates to the professional and educational objectives and settings, in particular coupling reasoning software to educational modules. The third aspect relates...

The biggest advantage of the World Wide Web (WWW) is seemingly effortless integration among educational content across different sites. We need the same integration to occur in all educational software. A student should be able to explore a graph of an accelerating vehicle first in an experimental notebook, then move the same content to a classroom presentation or internet discussion, and later...

The aim of our research is developing educational software to assist teachinglearning process from elementary schools to college. We argue that all educational environments have to concern about pedagogical aspects in order to guarantee better quality for students and teachers activities during the educational process support by educational software. To achieve this we must to observe some guid...

This paper presents the design of eLeTK, which is a software system that may be used for enhancing on-line educational environments. The main concept introduced in this paper is represented by educational data/knowledge flow. The data flow is transformed into a knowledge flow provided that all input data represents activity produced by an on-line educational environment. On the other hand, the ...
