, energy, oil and gas refining, and transportation systems to achieve increasing efficiencies in overall system operation. As geographically-aware sensors and mobile devices (such as GPS-enabled cell phones ) become more ubiquitous and allow the public to capture where (a) the location of events happen or (b) data is gathered, such actions have potential impacts on future actions, strategic decisions and proposed policies. In particular, mobile GTs open the door to methods of reasoning and persuasion that would be impossible without the use of publically available spatial information. For example, during a disaster, location-based videos captured through cell phones at a disaster site can facilitate rapid allocation of resources
way ensures that the system“knows” the dependencies between concepts, and uses this knowledge to provide customizedinstruction and feedback to errors.For our purposes, we identified a set of concepts that are taught in our Java programminglanguage course at the Southern Taiwan University. Each concept is represented by a node in thegraph. We add a directed line from one concept (node) to another, if knowledge of the former is aprerequisite for understanding the latter. Thus, the DAG can be constructed manually with the aidof the course textbook. For example, consider one instance of the if statement in Java such as: if((a <= b) && (b <= c)) return true

colleagues teach sections of this course they sharematerials and ideas but each of them has to customize the course design to suit their ownapproach. She describes it as follows: There are like nine sections of that course. And there've been times when there have been four or five of us teaching the course in a particular quarter. And what will happen is we trade materials. So Jane will “Janeify” my thing, I will “Lisafy” my things, things will be “Charliefied”. And they end up being shared. And we've all been around enough that we're comfortable taking our own particular spins. One professor is very structured and has their class exercises—do A, B, C, D in this order.

-paperexaminations are becoming an anachronism. Paper exams ask students to work in anenvironment that feels artificial—without the information infrastructure that they depend onin their other classwork, and that they expect to use on the job after they graduate. Thispaper compares a particular form of online exams, the “open-book open-Web” exam withexams taken on paper. The choice of format has a myriad of implications, most of whichare not apparent at a glance. This paper considers several categories of differences,including coverage of material, administering the exam, challenges of grading, how todiscourage cheating, and the tradeoff between difficulties associated with handwriting anddifficulties with coding the exam.
