Understanding the architecture of a processor can be uninteresting and deterring for computer science students, since low-level details of computer architecture are often perceived to lack real-world impact. These courses typically have a strong practical component where students learn the fundamentals of the computer architecture and the handling…

New possibilities offered by mobile devices for special education students have led to the design of skill acquisition software applications. Advances in mobile technologies development have made progress possible in helping teachers with autistic students modelling and evaluation. "Chain of Words" theoretical basis is the autism…

In the last few years, in an attempt to further motivate students to learn a foreign language, there has been an increasing interest in task-based teaching techniques, which emphasize communication and the practical use of language, thus moving away from the repetitive grammar-translation methods.
