In this paper, we have presented an algorithm for data synchronization based on Web Services (WS), which allows software applications to work well on both configurations "Online" and “Offline”, in the absence of the network. For this purpose is in use Electronic Student Management System (ESMS) at University of Prishtina (UP) with the appropriate module. Since the use of ESMS, because of a unce...

BACKGROUND: An interprofessional elective using a student-run clinic can introduce students to professional roles, collaborative patient care, and health disparities. METHODS AND FINDINGS: Students from four professions (pharmacy, medicine, physician assistant, and physical therapy) participated in a service-learning elective where they received weekly didactic lectures and provided healthcare...

Last term, in Safford Unified School District No. 1 v. Redding,1 the Supreme Court considered whether the strip search of a 13-year-old student in school violated the Fourth Amendment, and whether divergent opinions in lower courts about such searches entitled the school officials who conducted the search to qualified immunity from liability.2 The case does not announce a new constitutional fra...

Educational data mining (EDM) involves the application of data mining, machine learning, and statistics to information generated from educational settings. Modeling students’ knowledge is a fundamental part of intelligent tutoring systems. One of the most popular methods for estimating students’ knowledge is knowledge tracing. It is the de-facto standard for inferring students’ knowledge from p...

Bayesian Knowledge Tracing (BKT)[1] is a user modeling method extensively used in the area of Intelligent Tutoring Systems. In the standard BKT implementation, there are only skill-specific parameters. However, a large body of research strongly suggests that studentspecific variability in the data, when accounted for, could enhance model accuracy [5, 6, 8]. In this work, we revisit the problem ...

We augment a standard dictator game to investigate how preferences for an environmental project relate to willingness to limit others’ choices. We explore this issue by distinguishing three student groups: economists, environmental economists, and environmental social scientists. We find that people are generally disposed to grant freedom of choice, but only within certain limits. In addition, ...

The aim of our project is to develop a system for detecting student copying in Biomedical Science laboratory practical reports. We compare contrasting approaches: “simple” methods Zipping, based on a standard file-compression tool, and Bigrams, a basic comparison of frequent bigrams; and “smart” methods using commercial-strength plagiarism-checking systems Turnitin, Copycatch, and Copyfind. Bot...

In this research work a method for sequencing learning objects based on the SCORM standard using cmi tracking elements from this standard and javascript programming language, is presented. Advanced sequencing rules, dependent on student performance are achieved with SCORM 1.2, surpassing the present capabilities of learning objects in learning management systems. An analysis of a case study is ...
