Framing a Social Learning Space for Wheelchair Curling

Re-framing learning in VET: Social capital in (workplace) learning

Effective learning occurs when interaction occurs. Interaction occurs when people engage each other, and engagement can occur in many ways. Learning from engagement can take place face-to-face. Engagement on telephones and emails is also a site for learning. Learning occurs in the engagement between a person and various kinds of texts, and when a person engages with the texts of their thoughts....

The Design Social: Framing Social Research Methods for Design Postgraduates

This paper discusses approaches for framing social research methods within postgraduate design curricula, details the responses of postgraduate design students to the possibilities presented by social research methods, and concludes with a case study of the adoption experiences of PhD students in design when engaging with social research methods. Analysis of semi-structured interviews is employ...

A Discrete Hybrid Teaching-Learning-Based Optimization algorithm for optimization of space trusses

In this study, to enhance the optimization process, especially in the structural engineering field two well-known algorithms are merged together in order to achieve an improved hybrid algorithm. These two algorithms are Teaching-Learning Based Optimization (TLBO) and Harmony Search (HS) which have been used by most researchers in varied fields of science. The hybridized algorithm is called A Di...

A Curling Shot Tracking Program

We present an algorithm for tracking the position of a curling stone from broadcast footage of curling events. Due to the constant panning of the camera in addition to perspective changes in the image, this introduces a need for image rectification and tracking of the camera view on the ice. We break the algorithm in four distinct components: rectification, frame tracking, stone tracking, and l...
