Additionally, Dr. Moore’s interests in engineering education have involved improving the implementation of technology in distributed education for creating active learning environments. He has been awarded grants from HP and Microsoft to support his research efforts in this endeavor. In 2005, Dr. Moore received an NSF CAREER award for the development of new techniques for extracting and integrating features of the voice source into

Because concept maps become visually cluttered and unusable when they get too largethough, an interactive visualization tool was developed to maintain the advantages of conceptmaps as learning tools while managing the visual clutter in maps that cover entire courses oreven an entire curriculum. In this paper, the authors discuss the process they took in integratingthe educational literature with the information visualization literature to understand how to bestmake an information visualization that addresses educational goals.

We may postulate that the studentswith GPA lower than 3.0 were not motivated to attempt the problem, or attempted the problembut were unsuccessful or dissatisfied with their solution, and thus did not turn in an answer. Theydid not even attempt to guess the first portion of the question by providing a simple yes or no,where they had a 50/50 probability of getting it correct. Students with GPA greater than 3.5mostly got the question correct, showing that they either knew or were willing to seek help tofigure out the additional steps needed to achieve a solution, and were willing to then do thesubsequent work.Factors

This study represents a qualitative study done to gain deeper insight into theexperiences of students. The results of this study demonstrated students were engaging withcourse materials in unexpected ways but frequently referred back to the visualizations.Additionally, students had an approach to understanding the visualizations that was both helpfuland problematic. These findings help to inform visualization and curriculum designers aboutstudent attitudes and strategies in using course materials.1 IntroductionDue to the abstract nature of Computer Science it is not uncommon for

To this effect, oral communication skills should be considered an integral part of anengineer’s formal education. Many engineering departments, however, are currentlyexperiencing a growth in enrolments which is translating to larger classroom sizes.Unfortunately, this is impacting on the ability for students to acquire oral presentation skillsbecause in-class oral presentations can take over limited lecture or lab time which is needed forother critical

It has been identified that the inclusion of a tutorial or online demonstrationmay be beneficial, for not only explaining technical aspects such as description of all options ofthe tools, but also for explaining theoretical aspects such as how to refine certain points in amesh. Finally, by these same means (e.g. tutorials, demos, etc.) the transparency of thesimulation can be increased by explaining students “what is happening to the program whenrunning”.In conclusion, literature has emphasized the need of integrating computational materials coursesinto the curriculum.

As a result, the static information is unable to operate optimally in newenvironments, because the system is unable to adapt uniquely to each students’ learning behaviorsand teachers’ input. Thus, to overcome this issue, the DIME system integrates modern machinelearning techniques, which allow the graphical display of information to adapt automatically basedon external and internal feedback.The way the DIME system responds to these two types of feedback differentiates it from previoussystems. Internal feedback refers to the students’ physical interaction with the DIME map, such asclicking

An effective automated course delivery system however, shouldguide the student through the course using an Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS). In ITSnavigation, it is the computer that determines which topic the student needs to see next. TheITS’s navigation decisions are mainly based on the results of continuous formative assessmentsthat are integrated in each course ontology node. Hence while in linear navigation all studentsexperience the course in the same way, in ITS course navigation, each student experiences thecourse differently. For example with ITS navigation, some

With pressure to include more topics in the curriculum, most electricaland computer engineering curricula have limited the required coverage of electromagnetics to asingle three or four semester hour course. With this development, the allotted space in the singlecourse must be used wisely and many topics formerly covered in a multi-course sequence mustbe omitted. This forces some difficult curricular decisions as some pet topics of various facultycannot be covered in the allotted time.
