metrics. Hinze-Hoare (2008) maintains thatproblems exist with evaluation of VLEs due to lack of clear objectives associated withassessment frameworks. This issue covers the educational ground of the VLE as well as theHuman Computer Interface (HCI) segment. Although some limited work has been done toevaluate the conversational framework between students and teachers (Hinze-Hoare, HCI andEducational Metrics as Tools for VLE Evaluation, 2008), the goal in this paper will be toevaluate the HCI metric and effectiveness of Moodle.The principles used to evaluate Moodle‟s effectiveness from student‟s point of view are based onBruner‟s Principle (Hinze-Hoare, HCI and Educational Metrics as Tools for VLE Evaluation,2008). These principles are based on core

190Introduction:MATLAB is a widely used matrix based equation solving program, which has a CommandWindow for interactive use and a program editor. It has the features of a general purposeprogramming language along with a vast collection of built-in functions which include extensivegraphical capability. MATLAB‟s basic plotor plot3functionsgenerate two or three dimensionalgraphs of data vectors. Creating Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) enable interaction withgraphical objects such as text boxes and push-buttons.GUIs are examples of hierarchal object oriented programming, where the graphical objects are“children” of a “parent”, which can be a figure or a panel of objects or group of buttons. For theexamples to be presented, the “parent” will always be a figure

, underwater acoustic communication, FSK modulation. Proceedings of the Spring 2013 Mid-Atlantic Section Conference of the American Society of Engineering Education 37I. Introduction Acoustic underwater communications are governed by three factors: limited bandwidth,time-varying multipath propagation, and low speed of sound in water [1] and [2]. In underwaterenvironments, radio waves do not propagate well due to above environmental conditions soacoustic channels are employed. The propagation speed of acoustic signals in water is about1.5x103 m/s, five orders of magnitude lower than the radio
