• The MATLAB section quizzes at the end of each chapter use programs available for download as the archive matcode.zip. This archive has programs of general purpose programs for solving probability problems as well as specific .m files associated with examples or quizzes in the text. Also available is a manual probmatlab.pdf describing the general purpose .m files in matcode.zip. • We have made...

This paper is concerned with a tool that supports human experts in their task of classifying text excerpts suitable to be used in quizzes for learning materials and as items of exams that are aimed at assessing and certifying the language level of students taking courses of Portuguese as a second language. We assess the performance of this tool, which is currently available as an online service...

In many parts of the world, learners English as a Foreign Language (EFL) or Second (ESL) often face language difficulties and challenges in their performance learning. These errors have multiple forms causes, covering various skills aspects. This study focuses on types grammatical made by Foundation Programme students at university Oman. The specifically examined areas that appeared difficult f...

This study investigated the impact of quiz mode on university students' academic achievement in an online ESOL theory course as well their perceptions gamified e-quiz mode. Forty-two students at a women's Seoul participated for 12 weeks. Utilizing crossover design (AB/BA), this compared achievements Group A (n=22) and B (n=20) after experiencing both conventional interventions. was treated with...

This paper presents the results of experiment conducted to investigate the correlation, if any, between the learning style and cognitive traits which include working memory capacity of technical learners. Further, the experiment aimed to investigate the correlation between the learning style and performance of technical learners in web-based quizzes based on their styles over different subjects...

In this paper, we present a polynomial-time algorithm for TPQ (tree pattern queries) minimization without XML constraints involved. The main idea of the algorithm is a dynamic programming strategy to find all the matching subtrees within a TPQ. A matching subtree implies a redundancy and should be removed in such a way that the semantics of the original TPQ is not damaged. Our algorithm consist...

In this paper, we discuss the interface of elearning systems that make teachers to grasp students’ misunderstandings quickly in quizzes. Teachers need to grasp students’ misunderstandings to make their lectures effective. One of effective method for it is a quiz, which means a simple paper test. Though it is effective, it is troublesome for teachers to distribute answer sheet, collect them, rea...
