Given the alarming drop in applications to Computer Science (CS) studies across Europe, any efforts at presenting CS as an interesting, challenging, and useful discipline are welcome and necessary. In this note I present my view that it is possible to introduce motivated secondary-school students to the basic goals, techniques, and applications of Machine Learning. Furthermore, I claim that Mac...

Economy is dynamic and changing. One of the biggest problems with the introductory economics courses is that they are too static. System Dynamics can help us in teaching dynamic aspects of economy. “Supply Demand World” (SDW) is an Interactive Learning Environment (ILE) to teach introductory microeconomics based on the system thinking and system dynamics concepts. The paper presents the underly...

Effectiveness of supervising undergraduate and postgraduate students in dissertation writing hinges largely on a range of factors comprising not merely a supervisor’s competence in an area of specialisation but also the supervisor’s language awareness required for guiding a candidate through a difficult process of writing the dissertation itself. Using a corpus of management research articles a...

This paper presents an attempt to introduce the concepts of fuzzy set theory in the design of web-based distance learning systems. A fuzzy decision making process is used to update the leaner model and specify his/her learning level to provide appropriate teaching materials to each learner. Such a system can deal with uncertainties in the learner’s degree of understanding in each unit. It provi...

Interest in Conversation Analysis (CA) and its possible applications in the fields of language learning and language teaching has grown considerably over the last five years.

Replicating data and services at multiple networked computers increases the service availability, fault-tolerance and quality of service (QoS) of distributed multimedia systems. In this paper, we discuss some relevant design and implementation issues of a replication mechanism for a distributed multimedia system medianode[1] which is a software infrastructure to share multimedia-enhanced teachi...
