Tele-Assessment of the Tele-Taught University Degree in Computer Science Engineering

Since 2001 all courses of a 3-year university degree in computer science engineering at the University of Padova are being taught in 4 geographically distributed sites using real-time simultaneous tele- teaching technologies. The aim of the system is to deliver academic lessons to geographically distributed classrooms, preserving as much as possible the way the teacher communicates and interacts with students in a traditional classroom.

MicroCSCL – Combining CSCL with Microlearning

In our approach we have merged Computer Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) with microlearning into a new system called MicroCSCL, which we have implemented in Ruby on Rails. Departing from outdated technologies such as PHP4, on which most open source eLearning platforms are still based, it is essential to integrate new Web 2.0 attainments to allow for new features and more flexibility.

Podcasting Possibilities: Increasing Time and Motivation in the Language Learning Classroom

Podcasting is the publishing of audio or video via the Internet, designed to be downloaded and listened to on a portable mp3 player of any type, or on a personal computer. Campus Beat is a student magazine podcast produced by HKUST students and the Language Centre. Segments of the podcast are written and recorded by a student volunteer staff and students from the Language Centre’s Campus Beat module. In addition to commentaries and campus news, Campus Beat provides an English language learning segment called “Word Power”.

The Use of Social Networking by Students and Staff in Higher Education

From September 2007 new and returning students at the University of Westminster have had a brand new way of staying in touch with their friends and classmates through an innovative new social networking site, Connect. This paper will describe and present an evaluation of the initial use of Connect by staff and students. The nature and success of purely social type communities (e.g. the film club) will be discussed as will the creation and use of study groups that have been set up by students. An analysis of preliminary feedback from students and staff on the value of Connect in both social and academic life will be included.

User Requirements for Adult Learners with Special Needs in Accessible Lifelong LearningUser Requirements for Adult Learners with Special Needs in Accessible Lifelong Learning

While e-learning offers many advantages for users like flexibility in time and location thus reducing the barriers for students with disabilities it can also be a disadvantage if the technology used is not fully accessible to all the different user groups. This paper tries to give an insight into different stakeholders’ points of view when dealing with the topic of e-accessibility in the university context in Austria.

Enhancing Quality of Learning Contents with Quality Function Deployment

Author aims to develop a scheme to enhance the quality of learning contents by applying the product marketing and manufacturing concept of Quality Function Deployment (QFD) improved by the approach used in decision support systems to assure that quality requirements, especially the Non Functional Requirements (NFR), are traced in the learning contents. The goal of QFD is to ensure that the voice of customer drives all actions concerned with quality. A case study on Multimedia Educational Software (MES) and Mobile Learning Contents (MLC) has been performed in this context, while the further research to trace the NFR to architectures has been performed in the domain of Information Systems and is still a work in progress in the Mobile Services Application domain.
