The advancement of game-based learning has encouraged many related studies, such that students could better learn curriculum by 3-dimension virtual reality. To enhance software engineering learning, this paper develops a 3D game-based learning system to assist teaching and assess the students’ motivation, satisfaction and learning achievement. A quasi-experimental design is based on the ARCS Th...

VEC3D is a language learning and teaching project that promises 3-D immersion, live voice interaction and social context. Building on goal-based instructional design, VEC3D learners embody avatars and meet each other in virtual spaces. VEC3D can be integrated into various educational settings, student needs, paces, styles and research goals. This article summarizes the VEC3D curriculum, system,...

Mit Augmented Reality angereicherte Lehr-Lernsettings gewinnen sowohl im Schulfach Chemie als auch in anderen naturwissenschaftlichen Fächern immer mehr an Bedeutung. So erwähnen viele Publikationen die positiven Effekte solcher digital angereicherter Lehr-Lernprozesse, geben jedoch nur selten darüber Auskunft, welche Eigenschaften der erweiterten Realität hierfür verantwortlich sind. Dieser Be...

INTRODUCTION We describe a system of scenario-based training using simple mannequins under realistic circumstances for the training of pre-hospital care providers. METHODS A simple intubatable mannequin or student volunteers are used together with a training version of the equipment used on a routine basis by the pre-hospital care team (doctor + paramedic).Training is conducted outdoors at th...

Rapidly increasing urbanization in the world, especially in developing countries, let to increasing urban extents. Rapid urban growth causes to appearance many problems such as wasting environmental resources, inability of providing necessary services for citizens and unplanned growth. Urban mangers and planners need tools for understanding amount and size of future urban growths to prevent the...

In the context of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL), Web 2.0 applications are increasingly being used for Technology-Enhanced Learning (TEL). The paper presents the main principles of Web 2.0 and develops the hypotheses derived from the central aspect of collaborative learning. These hypotheses refer to the significance of Web 2.0 for the technical support of various collaborativ...

This paper assumes each user has more than one queue, derives a new packet-dependant proportional fairness power allocation pattern based on the sum of weight capacity and the packet’s priority in users’ queues, and proposes 4 new cross-layer packet-dependant OFDM scheduling schemes based on proportional fairness for heterogeneous classes of traffic. Scenario 1, scenario 2 and scenario 3 lead r...

Literature has studied students learning in inverted (flipped) classes. However, little attention has been paid to another important set of stakeholders – the instructors. While past research indicates that the inverted paradigm is effective, there has been no analysis of preparing, creating and delivering this instruction model from an instructor’s point of view. We argue that education techno...

Introduction: Teaching in medicine should focus on enabling students to acquire knowledge and skill which translates in to best clinical outcomes. Class room based teachings or group discussions don’t impart principles of team work, coordination or decision making which is prudent in an emergency situation. Introduction of technology based teaching like simulation is the need of the hour in med...
