This paper describes how the Open University, as a large distance education institution, has used the Internet to transform the learning environment for distance students. We review the process involved in understanding the requirements of distance education students and how they can be supported via the Internet. We describe the tools developed in our Internet-based implementation and how they...

conclusions no significant differences were observed between electronic learning and lecture-based education in improving interns’ knowledge of cpr drugs. background conventional educational systems seem to be improper throughout the cardiopulmonary resuscitation (cpr) teaching process. the most common causes of failed resuscitation are unfamiliarity with cardiopulmonary resuscitation algorithm...

This paper describes the integration of IT in the education of electronic and computer technology engineers at Institute of Electronic Systems, Aalborg University, Denmark. At the Institute Information Technology is an important tool in the aspects of the education as well as for communication among students and teachers.

Successful achievement of program outcomes is the primary goal of nursing education programs. Electronic portfolios are a contemporary method by which to measure student achievement, assess curricular efficacy, and evaluate program integrity in nursing education. The authors outline the sequential process of understanding, introducing, and integrating electronic portfolios into a curriculum.

The development and implementation of virtual educational environments is now becoming a strategic advantage as is becoming an integral part of the new universities. The Deakin Electronic Trading Community is an online education system that attempts to solve the problems of providing supportive educational tools in the education of electronic commerce.

Telecommunications have become a vital device for researchers to exchange infomvrtion externally. However, from an internal perspective, there are also people with matching interests. Why should they hold their meetings gathered in one place, face-tofuce at the pre-agreed time? This paper clarifies some of the dyuamics of such gatherings (especially seminars). A literary reviao fixuses the phen...

Robotics is a scientific discipline which needs a high level knowledge in the fields of computer science, as well as electrical and mechanical engineering and high-performance modular control systems. This paper reports the first results of a project that uses a previously developed very small Electronic Platform (Miniboard) for small and simple autonomous mobile robots. This board is used in t...

Virtual instrumentation is defined as the combination of measurement and control hardware and application software with industry-standard computer technology to create user-defined instrumentation systems. Since the birth of virtual instrument (VI), it enters rapidly into the industrial production field, and Research and Development (RD) field. It can improve production quality, shorten develop...

This paper describes a new paradigm of programming education using a large electronic whiteboard that combines the merits of classroom lectures using a black/white board and those of computer processing. Using this system, a teacher can write a program on the board, explain it, make the system recognize it and run the program in front of the class while keeping the attention of the students foc...
