Delivering education and educational resources has evolved from classcentered settings towards distributed, cloud-based models. This is mainly the consequence of publicly available educational resources such as documents, videos, and web applications. At the same time, emerging technologies in information and communication are enabling the development and deployment of remote laboratories on th...

Construction engineering is heavily grounded in practical, real-life experiences, which range from construction methods, techniques, planning, and cost estimating to managing productivity, quality, people, and contracts. Current pedagogies and teaching tools in construction education system are unable to include sufficiently complex, realistic design and construction problems and to contribute ...

This article presents a research agenda concerning the introduction of telecommunications technology integrated with Web-based information systems for increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of diabetes treatment – the WellMate service. Hence this project has two major objectives. (i) to study the pharmacoeconomic benefits yielded through the deployment of information systems technology in ...

Recent years have seen an increasing emphasis on the use of computer-based education and training as a means of widening and improving the skills base in society at large. The widespread success of the web as an interactive distribution medium has made it a natural choice for the delivery of training materials. Although there are now a plethora of educational resources on the web, they mostly s...

As the use of the World Wide Web becomes more pervasive within our society, businesses and institutions are required to migrate a wide range of services to the web. Difficulties arise where there are requirements to integrate existing systems within the migrated and oftenextended web based services. The Institutionally Secure Integrated Data Environment (INSIDE) project is addressing the proble...

Unity: Unity is a widely-used cross-platform game develop system. It consists of a game engine and an integrated development environment (IDE). It can be used to develop games for many different platforms, including PCs, consoles, mobile devices, and deployment on the Web. In this lecture, we will present the basic elements of Unity. However, this is a complex system, and we will not have time ...

In this paper, design and implementation of an interactive open architecture computer vision software package called Ch OpenCV is presented. Benefiting from both Ch and OpenCV, Ch OpenCV has many salient features. It is interactive, capable of interface with binary static or dynamical C/Cþþ libraries, integrated with advanced numerical features and embeddable. It is especially suitable for rapi...

There has been out-cry nationwide about the persistent decline in the quality of our education in Nigeria an indication that the current teaching and learning approaches in use in our institutions have failed. The need to improve the quality of computer science education currently imparted in our Education system has therefore become imperative. Based on our findings, a mathematical model Web-b...

COLearn is a web-based collaborative learning environment that supports the specification of collaborative learning workflows, their deployment and enactment. It addresses major challenges in modern learning infrastructures to enable contextualization, social constructivism and knowledge-pull. It offers a shell, easily integrated on top of existing open learning infrastructures (such as LMSs an...

Not all learners learn in the same way and at the same rate. Learners’ learning styles that reflect their cognitive abilities vary in known ways; some prefer the traditional text-based or oral presentation of content, while others learn more easily in a visual or kinaesthetic instruction style. Simulation has been shown to be an effective way of teaching abstract concept, principle and process ...
