Togetherwith profiled learning materials, the platform then dynamically generates an individual learningpath to guide a learner in achieving his or her own personal learning objectives. The technologyis similar to what is used to profile Amazon.com users. This allows the platform to deliver notonly custom learning materials for the student to interact with, but also customized assessmentactivities.

Students are encouraged to model any problem that could lend itself easily tosuch a process in terms of required materials. One such example would be that of two massesconnected with a thread, where one mass executes circular motion on a horizontal plane, andthe other is vertically suspended below. Problems like these also open students’ eyes to thereal life complications that arise when all the textbook assumptions such as ideal connectionand no friction cannot be enforced

Many academic institutes developed the laboratory-based courses to helpstudents to accelerate their learning in different types of laboratories such as real, simulation, oronline [1].

Sometimessetting up a laboratory for these experiments could be very expensive. Therefore, a lot of timeusing simulation tools is a good alternative to examine and visualize the realistic problems.However, the available simulation software may require vast technical proficiency, whichsometime impedes the inclination of students towards this area of study.In this paper we introduce a ray-tracing simulation tool that can be beneficial in teaching wavepropagation and wireless communication.

, the internet has motivated students to pursue image searches as the firststep in the design process. This design approach provides instantaneous visual exemplars thatcannot be forgotten and therefore could reduce radical departures from past designs and providea broader global material culture through shared images and social media. From a pedagogicalperspective, removing access to smartphones (or other internet devices) can inhibit this rush toview search engine-based popular designs. This digital valley of darkness can subsequentlyprovide relief from external visual influences upon the creative process. However, one shouldrecognize that visual stereotypes can be a helpful adjunct to design, particularly when designingfor a differing culture

solidmultidisciplined basis for developing and implementing courses and for research in energysystems with a focus on renewable energy.Introduction The energy issue plays increasingly a prominent role in contemporary life. The advent ofthe industrial revolution, which was enabled by significant progress in the sciences, has led to thedevelopment of an energy-intensive technology on a worldwide scale. The dominant source ofenergy has been hydrocarbons, i.e., oil, coal, and natural gas, all of which are known to be non-renewable. The approach used by industry was not ecological, and was wasteful, in that littleattention was paid to energy efficiencies at an ecological level, perhaps because the science ofecology itself was not developed yet.

First, after faculty set up (or are handed) objectives for aparticular course, they may not refer back to them while conducting the course, resultingin assignments and tests which may have little to do with the stated course objectives.Secondly, even if the instructor does teach with a view to the course objectives, it is notunreasonable to find students who fail to master one or more of the stated objectives of acourse yet still
