Learning Software Engineering at a Distance

Learning at a Distance : Pu -

students took at least one online course in fall 2005, an increase of more than 800,000 over the previous year (Allen and Seaman 2006). At the same time, questions persist about the quality of online learning. In one recent study, about two-fifths of senior academic officers at U.S. degree-granting higher education institutions expressed a belief that distance learning is inferior to face-to-fa...

A Glance at Psychophysics Software Programs

Visual stimulation with precise control of stimulus has transformed the field of psychophysics since the introduction of personal computers. Luminance and chromatic features of stimulus, timing, and position of the stimulus are the main features that could be defined using programs written specifically for psychophysical experiments. In this manuscript, software used for the psychophysical expe...

A Software Engineering View at User Interface

An interactive system must be designed for usability. But usability is often described through a number of heuristics that are diicult to use directly in the design process. This paper relates the most important usability heuristics to software properties which the developer may design for. The software properties are grouped after innuence on the interface quality and after suitability for for...
