Mehta, Vedant; Lane, Charles D. – Physics Education, 2018
SenseCube is a multisensor capable of measuring many different real-time events and changes in environment. Most conventional sensors used in introductory-physics labs use their own software and have wires that must be attached to a computer or an alternate device to analyze the data. This makes the standard sensors time consuming, tedious, and…

Kongcharoen, Chaknarin; Hwang, Wu-Yuin; Ghinea, Gheorghita – Educational Technology & Society, 2017
More studies are concentrating on using virtualization-based labs to facilitate computer or network learning concepts. Some benefits are lower hardware costs and greater flexibility in reconfiguring computer and network environments. However, few studies have investigated effective mechanisms for using virtualization fully for collaboration.…

Nihalani, Priya K.; Mayrath, Michael; Robinson, Daniel H. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2011
We investigated the effects of feedback and collaboration on undergraduates' transfer performance when using a computer networking training simulation. In Experiment 1, 65 computer science "novices" worked through an instructional protocol individually (control), individually with feedback, or collaboratively with feedback. Unexpectedly,…

Lind, Joy; Narayan, Darren – Teaching Mathematics and Its Applications: An International Journal of the IMA, 2009
We present the topic of graph connectivity along with a famous theorem of Menger in the real-world setting of the national computer network infrastructure of "National LambdaRail". We include a set of exercises where students reinforce their understanding of graph connectivity by analysing the "National LambdaRail" network. Finally, we give…
