Recently large scale distributed workstation LAN systems have been widely used in educational systems like educational centers in universities. In those systems, avoiding the large traffic caused by many users’ continuous operations is one of the most important problems. In this paper we modeled the users’ behavior in educational systems, and simulated and analyzed the traffic of the Ethernet L...

Serious games have recently enjoyed unprecedented interest among researchers. Despite the fact that the main focus of this domain remains on player entertainment and engagement, serious games have established themselves as an alternative educational paradigm. However, little interest has been given to investigating methods for the assessment of their effectiveness. Game evaluation focus remains...

Effective evaluation of educational software is a key issue for successful introduction of advanced tools in the curriculum. This paper focuses on our experience of developing and evaluating a tool for computer-assisted teaching of engineering laboratory courses. Various categories of educational software that can be used for laboratory courses are described. An example of such experimental sys...

This chapter situates the evaluation of technologybased programs in the context of the field of general educational program evaluation. It begins with an overview of the main evaluation approaches developed for general educational programs, including Tyler’s early conception of assessing attainment of program objectives, decision-making approaches, naturalistic evaluation, and Kirkpatrick’s fou...

In this paper we present a 3D collaborative educational virtual environment, which was development by utilizing an iterative applied throughout development cycle. The main propose was demonstrating applicability of an evaluation framework idealized by the authors. Our evaluation framework is supported by the Quantitative Evaluation Framework (QEF) proposed by Escudeiro [3]. This framework uses ...

The main purpose of this paper is to draw attention to some facts and ideas that perhaps can help to identify problems or fields for development and research within the evaluation of training. Topics for group discussion are preceded by material on some basic concepts of evaluation and educational measurement. The ratio scale, the interval scale, the ordinal scale, and the nominal scale are giv...
