Develop and improve teaching and learning through blended learning Teaching Development and Improvement through Blended Learning

Introduction: E-learning is being replaced with traditional methods. The e-learning also has its own limitations and cannot be replaced by traditional education, completely. The educational experts try to mix e-learning and traditional learning in different ways, despite the advantages and disadvantages of the both methods. This article aims to introduce and evaluate blended learning approac...

Effective Distance Teaching and learning in Higher Education

Nowadays, Universities have come across a main transformation. Lack of budget, an increase in the number of university students, a change in the student population, up-to-date and various educational needs of each society require fundamental changes that are coordinated with recent needs. This study aimed to evaluate the features of effective distance education in higher education. Findings of ...

Experiences in Teaching eXtreme Programming in a Distance Learning Program

As university-level distance learning programs become more and more popular, and software engineering courses incorporate eXtreme Programming (XP) into their curricula, certain challenges arise when teaching XP to students who are not physically co-located. In this paper, we present our experiences and observations from managing such an online software engineering course, and describe some of t...

Learning Helicopter Control through \teaching by Showing"

A model-free "teaching by showing" methodology is developed to train a fuzzy-neural controller for an autonomous robot helicopter. The controller is generated and tuned using training data gathered while a teacher operates the helicopter. A hierarchical behavior-based control architecture is used, with each behavior implemented as a hybrid fuzzy logic controller (FLC) and general regression neu...
