Brooks, Sarah; Brown, Shane; Davis, Denny; LeBeau, Jennifer – Advances in Engineering Education, 2014
In engineering education, assessment instruments are often developed to evaluate programs and projects. Unfortunately, these innovations are not always adopted by intended audiences. Rogers' Diffusion of Innovations (DI) Theory provides a framework to analyze characteristics of an innovation that will affect adoption. The Appraisal System for…

Unal, Zafer; Bodur, Yasar; Unal, Aslihan – Journal of Information Technology Education: Research, 2012
Current literature provides many examples of rubrics that are used to evaluate the quality of web-quest designs. However, reliability of these rubrics has not yet been researched. This is the first study to fully characterize and assess the reliability of a webquest evaluation rubric. The ZUNAL rubric was created to utilize the strengths of the…

Liu, Ming; Calvo, R. A.; Aditomo, A.; Pizzato, L. A. – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2012
In this paper, we present a novel approach for semiautomatic question generation to support academic writing. Our system first extracts key phrases from students' literature review papers. Each key phrase is matched with a Wikipedia article and classified into one of five abstract concept categories: Research Field, Technology, System, Term, and…
