The Association for the Advancement of Computing in Education (AACE) is an international, non-profit educational organization. The Association's purpose is to advance the knowledge, theory, and quality of teaching and learning at all levels with information technology. "E-Learn 2018: World Conference on E-Learning" took place in Las…

Describes a certain procedure, devised by the instructor, to speed up his grading of homework assignments for a general physics course. (GA)

This paper reports on the level of effectiveness of the various course elements (such as electronic homework, written homework, collaborative group problems and class participation) in calculus-based introductory Newtonian mechanics as taught to Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) students. Effectiveness is measured by the regression…

A homework problem that can be graded quickly, involve students in problem solving, and provide feedback on their problem-solving ability is described. A two-part homework problem is assigned: part one stated in the usual manner, and part two consisting of a description with segments left blank for students to fill in. (Author/JN)

Describes an effective and efficient method to induce students to do physics homework. (CP)

The use of multiple-choice homework coupled with computer grading provides a practical way of incorporating problem solving where more traditional techniques are impractical. (SL)

Describes a computer-based homework grading system that accepts a constructed response by the student, multiple attempts, generation of new data for each student, records of performance, and provision of some feedback about answers. (Author/CP)

Describes and evaluates introductory physics homework problems done in conjunction with student-performed demonstrations. Discusses them within a process approach to instruction consistent with Piaget's developmental theory. (MLH)

Describes an Internet-based course in Beam Physics offered at Michigan State University (MSU) as part of the Virtual University Degree program. Discusses the importance of local contact persons, technical aspects, equipment, the Internet-based homework assignments, difficulties encountered, and future activities. (Author/AEF)

Describes a procedure for integrating computer graded homework into physics courses. (SL)

Small-group cooperative learning was integrated into a physics class to alter the traditional lecture/laboratory format of the course and to provide support for students' feelings of helplessness and isolation in studying physics. At weekly meetings, groups of 4-6 students met to solve physics homework problems assigned during the traditional…

Describes a study of three parts: (1) the application of a statistical technique for predicting performance; (2) a computer program for teaching basic problem-solving skills; and (3) evidence for the value of teaching with complex homework problems in an introductory physics course required for engineering majors. (Contains 42 references.)…

In introductory physics courses at the Pennsylvania State University, student preparation outside class was inadequate to meet course needs. The plan-do-check-act cycle of the Total Quality Management approach was successfully used in this situation to evaluate instructional changes and help balance increased student assignments with increased…

These proceedings contain the papers of the International Conference e-Learning 2013, which was organised by the International Association for Development of the Information Society and is part of the Multi Conference on Computer Science and Information Systems (Prague, Czech Republic, July 23-26, 2013). The e-Learning 2013 conference aims to…
