Evidence is emerging that technology-based curricula and adaptive learning systems can personalize students' learning experiences and facilitate development of mathematical skills. Yet, evidence of efficacy in rigorous studies for these blended instructional models is mixed. These studies highlight challenges implementing the systems in…

Teaching business analytics has become a critical requirement in many business schools to stay competitive, and the search for real-world examples of business analytics applications is a subject of great interest among analytics instructors. Instructors want to be able to show students how to develop and build business analytics applications that…

At present, a new generation of students is studying at universities with their specific abilities and skills. In addition to hard skills, potential employers also require significantly developed soft skills from their employees. The school, and not just the university, is entering this process in a different position than in the past due to the…

In the present research we look into the mechanisms which facilitate integrated functioning of speech and music components within a song. To understand the underlying mechanisms of such interaction we investigate poems set to music, analyzing the components of both speech and music intonation. The study is performed within the scope of Speech…

This paper focuses on the emergence of abstraction through the use of a new kind of motion detector--WiiGraph--with 11-year-old children. In the selected episodes, the children used this motion detector to create three simultaneous graphs of position vs. time: two graphs for the motion of each hand and a third one corresponding to their…

Context: Knowledge level and productivity of the software engineering (SE) workforce are the subject of regular discussions among practitioners, educators, and researchers. There have been many efforts to measure and improve the knowledge gap between SE education and industrial needs. Objective: Although the existing efforts for aligning SE…

Evidence is emerging that technology-based curricula and adaptive learning systems can personalize students' learning experiences and facilitate development of mathematical skills.

The unpreparedness of educators and students in the learning process becomes a weakness in traditional learning. Moreover, teaching material that has been delivered cannot be repeated while the small notes and educator explanations have limitations in knowledge transfer. This method is ineffective and also have limited learning space and time that…

In higher education, colleges and universities are now utilizing cloud services, such as Google Apps for Education, Dropbox, and SkyDrive, and storage services for simplicity, uniformity, security, and flexibility. Several researchers found that despite the effectiveness of cloud-based technology in higher education, several difficulties were…

The purpose of this capstone project was to develop a curriculum product in the form of professional development training that would prepare college faculty to use Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment (MOODLE) course management software in their community college classes. This curriculum project provided faculty members with…

Online learning has become increasingly popular as education continues to revolutionise with existing and evolving technologies. Institutions and organisations alike are utilising online learning to meet the demands of learners for a more convenient and adaptable Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) system to sustain a progressive pedagogy. An…

This paper describes the development of a light polarization experimental apparatus for a remote laboratory. The apparatus had been developed by controlling the analyzer rotation using a stepper motor controlled via the Arduino. Device control and data acquisition applications were developed with LabVIEW which provides remote control panel…

Purpose: Spoken language sample analysis (LSA) is widely considered to be a critical component of assessment for child language disorders. It is our best window into a preschool child's everyday expressive communicative skills. However, historically, the process can be cumbersome, and reference values against which LSA findings can be…

To assess scientific progress from global to author levels, a large body of bibliometric studies could be found in many fields but relatively scarcer in the realm of language and linguistic studies, especially at a journal level. Motivated by the commitment and competence shown by the Journal of Language and Linguistic Studies, this study presents…

Online proctoring generally refers to the practice of proctors monitoring an exam over the internet, usually through a webcam. This technology has gained relevance during the current COVID-19 pandemic, given that the social distance owing to health reasons has consequently led to the switching of all learning and assessment activities to online…
