In the context of the European Network of Excellence in Computational Logic (CoLogNet, http://www.colognet.org/), the European Association for Logic, Language and Computation (FoLLI, http://www.folli.org) has started a project on E-Learning in Computational Logic and the development of Dynamic Teaching Materials for its annual European Summer Schools (ESSLLIs). The project has a double aim: (i)...

Changes are norms at workplaces. As a result, globalization and development of technology demand employees to be highly-skilled. Graduates find it difficult to seek employment upon graduation as they are lack of employability skills. Thus the need to establish employability skills among university undergraduates is imperative. This study is conducted in order to determine whether employability ...

We investigate how students connect explanations and arguments from evidence about plant growth and metabolism-two key practices described by the Next Generation Science Standards. This study reports analyses of interviews with 22 middle and high school students postinstruction, focusing on how their sense-making strategies led them to interpret-or misinterpret-scientific explanations and argum...

Equal participation for people with special needs is an important objective in education politics. Governments have a strong emphasis on enabling education for all citizens. The trend of using e-learning both for on campus and remote delivery of students has the potential of enabling new opportunities for people who previously faced challenges following education. On the other hand, providing o...

The development of information technologies provides a support to traditional teaching and even makes its replacement possible. There are numerous benefits from distance learning systems. Since distance learning is not flawless, the paper discusses its advantages and disadvantages alike. Among the latter are: motivation of teachers, abuse of teaching materials, verification of student knowledge...

This paper reviews culture as perceived in a number of language teaching perspectives. The term “culture” and its relation with language has been a center of interest in different fields of studies. Because the term “culture” is borrowed between disciplines, it is understood differently and altered in the process by the goals and traditions of the borrowers. As such culture remains an elusive c...

This paper considers the international trend towards the development of a transactional law focus within law schools by examining a subject taught in an Australian law school as a case study and with reference to the US experience. Key questions under examination include whether there is more that law schools can do to make law graduates practice-ready or practiceaware and, if so, what law scho...

PSD (Programmable Structured Document) is a framework in which structured documents are edited efficiently and safely by evaluating embedded codes in themselves. Justsytem’s xfy has a technology called Vocabulary Connection, which supports creating and editing source XML documents on the HTML view. Combining these two technologies allows us to produce an environment to support creating XML-base...

Accurately assessing the quality of one’s work is a crucial skill for professional designers and design students alike. This paper describes teaching materials that help students self-assess their work in a design course at a large university in the US. Using these materials, students have been successful in evaluating themselves—in 69% of all weekly student submissions, self-assessed scores ma...

This paper presents a framework of intelligent tutorial system to incorporate adaptive learning and assess the relative performance of adaptive learning system over general classroom learning. In conventional classroom teaching and in distance learning the students may be from different backgrounds, their need of study and goal may be different; above all their ability to learn may not be simil...
