Teachers and Students Surfing Together

2012

Several studies regarding the integration of audio-video conferencing and instant messaging in university and professional courses (Isaacs et al. 1994; Scholl et al.,2006) have revealed the importance of these two resources in enhancing interaction. Other studies (Boset al. 2001) have pinpointed that, in building trust, audio-video communication can reach the highest levels of effectiveness and liking (Schliemann, et al. 2002). Web-conference has made the web a powerful interactive tool, facilitating collaboration on joint projects and enabling the development of educational settings which lead to meaningful learning (Gillani, 2003). Such interactive modes in a blended-learning environment,…

Learning Slovak in an E-Learning Environment: A case study

2014

Providing a motivating learning environment for learning a less commonly taught language is a challenge. Developing technology, societal changes, virtual mobility and networking create new demands for teachers and students of these languages. Growing needs for international mobility call for the adoption of new pedagogical approaches. It is the urgency of using more up-to-date, pedagogically acceptable computer-assisted teaching programs that led to the development of the e-learning course of Slovak reported upon in this article. The course is based on a socio-constructivist approach and its main aim is to promote the development of learners’ communicative and cultural competence. This empi…

Online Mathematics With Interactive Concept Maps

2008

There has not been a free and easy-to-use utility to handle both authoring and presentation of large graphs online, especially with mathematical content. On one hand, concept map editors are ideal for authoring graphs, but publishing capabilities may be limited. On the other hand, numerous browsing and layout tools exist for publishing content generated elsewhere. We present a transformation tool Xcm2kg that tries to solve the problem by integrating authoring with IHMC CmapTools to publishing based on TouchGraph. GXL is used as an intermediate format to facilitate interoperability with other graph-based applications. The tool is demonstrated with concept maps drawn on an undergraduate mathe…

Language-aware operational culture : Developing in-service training for early childhood education and care

2020

This study examines how practitioners of minority-medium Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) in Finland reflect on language awareness (LA) in their professional learning communities (PLCs). The study is conducted within in-service training for ECEC practitioners and it also highlights how these practitioner reflections can be of use and support developing future in-service training within the action research framework. The data include nine group discussions on a reflection task, with 41 primary participants and 165 secondary participants from each primary participant’s respective PLC. As a starting point, the researchertrainers identified six language-policy themes on LA in national …

Comparing Mathematics Early Years Education in Spain, Portugal and Slovenia

Reti sismiche urbane per monitoraggio sismico monitoraggio strutturale ed allerta precoce

2021

In questa tesi, viene effettuato un analisi preliminare in cui si mette in evidenza come l'italia sia un paese a rischio sismico, poichè possiede molti centri storici con strutture non progettate per eventi sismici di media entità. Si è prestato molta attenzione su quante vite umane vengono salvate dopo un terremoto catastrofico. L'analisi fa emergere come, è importante essere tempestivi nell'estrarre le persone rimaste sotto le macerie, poichè la percentuale di persone estratte vive si mantiene alta solo entro le 48 ore dall'evento. Dopo 96 ore questa percentule si attesta a 0. In eventi passati spesso i soccorsi sono arrivati con giorni di ritardo nelle zone più devastate. L'obbiettivo ch…
