This paper proposes an intelligent learning management system with load-balancing function based on Grid structure that allows for the replication of learning materials and balance of network traffic. The system consists of the Learning Management System (LMS) for processing basic data, learning data and learning records of learners, and the Learning Content Management Systems (LCMS) based on t...

Teaching and learning in the 21st century had taken advantage of technology to foster effective learning through multimedia education, active learning and improved classroom interaction. Social media have particularly helped in the area of content sharing and learner collaborations. Several schools in both developing and developed nations have incorporated social media as informal Learning Mana...

In this paper, we explore the characteristics of teaching quality evaluation of our university. Based on an effective dataset from teacher evaluation system, we apply data mining (DM) technique to teaching quality evaluation system and give related case analysis. The analyzed results show there exists the hidden relationship between the teacher’s attributes, such as title, degree, age, seniorit...

The expectations and demands with respect to teaching and research have been changing for universities due to changes in their institutional environments. Born out of changing national research policies and modern governance arrangements, efficiency, effectiveness and output-oriented cultures have become increasingly important. In this article we ask the question of what the consequences of the...

This paper presents an online interactive program and how it can benefit students of engineering and architecture in the learning of residential cooling load calculation. This program is also helpful in the training of professional engineers and architects in the basic load calculations. It can be used as a stand-alone teaching aid or an add-on component for any online course dealing with air-c...

As part of their preparation, athletes are often required to complete cognitive skills training using targeted sports-specific software applications. When cognitive load is very high, the quality of performance can be negatively affected and learning can be inhibited. The aim of this study is to verify whether cognitive load can be inferred directly from speech signal changes collected using on...

BECOMING A MASTER LEARNER Educating undergraduates to become master learners during primary care rotations is no easy task. Typically, attachment to primary care is short and often block-based with more time spent in hospital ward settings. Furthermore, there is often no continuum from primary to secondary care with learners having limited opportunities following patients along their journey. E...
