A multimedia university program with relatively equal numbers of male and female students in elective programming subjects provided a rare opportunity to investigate female motivation to study and pursue computer programming in a career. The MSLQ was used to survey 85 participants. In common with research into deterrence of females from STEM domains, females displayed significantly lower self-e...

Although the term “Computer Supported Cooperative Work” (CSCW) finds its roots in the mideighties and has been the topic to various conferences and research programs, the best-selling software applications of this area consist of nothing else but flavoured electronic mail and a shared database. With some exceptions to the rule, e.g. hot-line support teams, CSCW-applications had only little effe...

Multimedia techniques have important influence on education of computer science and engineering. In order to improve the innovation ability, this paper proposes an improved multimedia-driven curriculum system of network engineering, which concentrates on the practical training and innovative learning and applications. Project-oriented software, hardware design and development abilities of stude...

This paper presents a noise-robust, fast-convergence echo canceller and its implementation on a multimedia RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computer). Faster convergence is achieved by introducing an improved noise power estimator for step-size control. This echo canceller has been implemented on V830 multimedia embedded RISC and has been integrated into a car navigation system. V830 provides perf...

The Quality of Service (QoS) concept is of central importance in the context of communication protocols for multimedia systems. Generally, multimedia systems comprise the following functional units: networks, end-to-end protocols, data management systems, applications, human-computer interfaces, and operating systems. Obviously, the entire system is influencing QoS that is visible to human user...

What can you do to virtually teach the hands-on skills traditionally taught in labs? If you include simulations, active experimentation, discovery-learning techniques, numerous questions with detailed feedback, video, animations, and photographs, you can effectively teach practical hands-on skills through multimedia technology. Through discussion and demonstration, this session will highlight p...

The goal of this article is to assess the efficiency computer-based vocabulary instruction in English language classrooms and evaluate research on usefulness acquisition, particularly classes. articles for systematic review were selected from open-access databases. present study adopts literature (SLR) method studies 2010 2020. A total one hundred fifty sources analysed. Finally, forty carefull...

In the Fall of 96 the new course in Dynamic Systems has been offered in an interactive studio environment using multimedia computer software and a variety of other interactive activities. The course results were assessed and the students' progress and scores were compared with the regular, lecture-based sections of the course. The students for the studio section were selected at random and did ...

Advances in multimedia acquisition and storage technology have led to tremendous growth in very large and detailed multimedia databases. Analyzing this huge amount of multimedia data to discover useful knowledge is a challenging problem. This challenge has opened the opportunity for research in Multimedia Data Mining (MDM). Multimedia data mining can be defined as the process of finding interes...
