Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
PDF on ERIC Download full text
McMaster, Kirby; Sambasivam, Samuel; Hadfield, Steven; Wolthuis, Stuart – Information Systems Education Journal, 2013
In this paper, we describe how database instructors can teach Relational Algebra and Structured Query Language together through programming. Students write query programs consisting of sequences of Relational Algebra operations vs. Structured Query Language SELECT statements. The query programs can then be run interactively, allowing students to…

Doman, Marguerite; Besmer, Andrew; Olsen, Anne – Journal of Information Systems Education, 2015
In this article, we discuss the use of Pellerin's Four Dimension Leadership System (4-D) as a way to manage teams in a classroom setting. Over a 5-year period, we used a modified version of the 4-D model to manage teams within a senior level Software Engineering capstone course. We found that this approach for team management in a classroom…

How to Teach Residue Number System to Computer Scientists and Engineers
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Navi, K.; Molahosseini, A. S.; Esmaeildoust, M. – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2011
The residue number system (RNS) has been an important research field in computer arithmetic for many decades, mainly because of its carry-free nature, which can provide high-performance computing architectures with superior delay specifications. Recently, research on RNS has found new directions that have resulted in the introduction of efficient…

Tan, Wee-Kek; Tan, Chuan-Hoo – Journal of Information Systems Education, 2010
Acquiring the knowledge to assemble an integrated Information System (IS) development process that is tailored to the specific needs of a project has become increasingly important. It is therefore necessary for educators to impart to students this crucial skill. However, Situational Method Engineering (SME) is an inherently complex process that…

How to Cultivate the Ability of Innovative Thinking in Computer Programming Teaching
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
PDF on ERIC Download full text
Shi, Fuqian; Wei, Jincai – International Education Studies, 2008
In the current teaching activities on curriculum, teachers taught all kinds of computer language at the most of the time. Students also focus on a variety of examinations, but the real time to train students' independent software developing skill is very limited. This has resulted in the students only to copy other people's systems design ideas,…

New Ways of Using Computers in Language Teaching. New Ways in TESOL Series II. Innovative Classroom Techniques.
Boswood, Tim, Ed. – 1997
A collection of classroom approaches and activities using computers for language learning is presented. Some require sophisticated installations, but most do not, and most use software readily available on most workplace computer systems. The activities were chosen because they use sound language learning strategies. The book is divided into five…
