Abstract—Distance learning systems offer useful methods of learning and usually contain a final course test or another form of test. The paper proposes a web application for evaluating tests using an expert system in distance learning systems. The proposed web application is appropriate for didactic tests or tests with results for subsequent studying follow-up courses. The web application works...

The co-operation of the Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) and the Educational Society, is deemed necessary for the adaptation and tuning of the didactic process in terms of pedagogical methodologies, school infrastructure, human resources utilisation and organisational restructuring. The use of ICT in the classroom should be viewed as a highly influencing tool that will support ...

The didactic quality of learning materials can be improved by enriching learning material with didactic information. Such content elements assist self-directed learning processes in virtual learning environments effectively. In order to develop didactically motivated for flexible use, e.g., at different terminal devices such as PC or PDA, a structured procedure is required. We propose the selec...

Faculty clinician-educator tracks have become increasingly common at US academic medical centers. Although many radiology faculty members belong to such tracks, there is little training in radiology residencies to prepare residents to take on these roles. The authors present a summary of a novel radiology residency clinician-educator pathway developed and piloted at their institution. The key c...

Mobile devices are becoming more and more important in the context of e-learning. This requires appropriate models for structuring and delivering content to be used on various devices. Different technical characteristics of devices as well as different needs of learners require specific approaches. In this paper we propose a model for structuring content that allows rendering for different devi...

Computer-aided language learning (CALL) applications for adult learners are well-established. Tutoring applications for children require special didactic and ergonomic concepts. Except for low functionality (toy-like) products for children and PDA-based solutions, embedded systems seem to be not present in the market yet. The authors currently adapt baseline tutoring technology for adult learne...

Normally, academic applications of computer-aided design in construction provide a visual presentation of the final state of the project and they are not able to produce changes in the geometry following the construction process. It was developed a didactic prototype that allows physical changes in a building component. This prototype illustrates the construction of a common external wall. Firs...

Reflecting upon and sharing of clinical experiences in dental hygiene education is a strategy used to support the application of didactic material to patient care. The promotion of interactive, clinically focused discussions creates opportunities for students to foster critical thinking and socialization skills in dental hygiene practice. Twenty-eight dental hygiene students in their first seme...

Including Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) topics in courses of different levels may help students appreciate the importance of this field. Many didactic experiments have been previously described. These experiments are often related to the undergraduate or graduate levels, but some HCI topics should also be taught in middle-level professional education courses. However, students in this educat...

In this paper authors present a simple didactic experiment of implementing several gamification techniques into didactic process at one of the courses of Computer Science at the technical university. The results of the experiment – which lasted for a whole semester are presented and discussed on a basis of a case study of 62 students of the first year of Master’s studies, who were divided into ...
