To be maximally effective, the text courses should be translated in student’s native languages and should be accompanied by easily accessible NLP demonstrators. The software companions, demonstrating the basic concepts and allowing for simple experiments could be sel...

How do elements of course structure (i.e., the frequency of assessments, as well as the sequencing and weight of course resources) influence the usage patterns of electronic textbooks (etexts) in introductory physics courses? We are analyzing the access logs of courses at Michigan State University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which deployed etexts as primary or secondary texts...

During recent years, computer media and networking have become more and more popular among educators. Within this technological emergence, the World-Wide Web (WWW) has proven to be a valuable tool for design education in terms of connecting students to each other, an extensive fund of information, and for delivering various multimedia learning materials.

Project-Based Learning (PBL) and Agile methodologies have proven to be very interesting instructional strategies in Electronics and Engineering education, because they provide practical learning skills that help students understand the basis of electronics. In this paper we analyze two courses, one belonging to a Master in Electronic Engineering and one to a Bachelor in Telecommunication Engine...

Many modern systems are controlled by ComputerBased Systems (CBS). Examples include commercial management information systems such as airline reservations, payroll information, stock control, and electronic banking systems, real-time embedded computer systems such as process control and computer integrated manufacturing systems, space systems, telephone and communications systems, transportatio...
