French Students Enrolled in Distance Learning: Highly Motivated But Less Satisfied?

2016

International audience; The anticipated benefits of using emerging technology tools to facilitate learning have in recent years increased the expectations of the development of distance learning in higher education. Studies in various countries show, however, that the profile of distance learning students differs from traditional students' characteristics. There are generally older, more employed and more highly motivated but with a lower parental educational background even if these features appear to change with the development new technologies in training. This paper aims to identify some barriers to the development of distance and e-learning from the students' point of view. More precis…

Developing Online Collaborative Games for e-Learning Environments

2014

Based on our experience, we believe that games, competition and teamwork offer a pleasant and active way of learning. This is much more efficient when the learner has a smile on his face, when he is astonished and curious about next levels and finds the game sufficiently challenging and fun to try again. Our application proposal has the purpose of implementing an e-Learning platform for improving the teaching and learning process in somewhat abstract domains, such as computer architecture or object oriented programming, with the help of games. These games are time-dependent and are able to support collaboration between groups. To this date there are two learning games implemented: a crosswo…

Revista española de pedagogía

2017

Los MOOC se han entendido como la última evolución del aprendizaje en red, y desde su nacimiento en 2008 se han puesto en práctica en un buen número de universidades. Dado que actualmente nos encontramos en un escenario donde los MOOC todavía están proliferando, son escasos los estudios referentes a valorar la calidad pedagógica de los mismos. Por esto, el presente estudio se basa en la revisión sistemática de literatura, haciendo uso de las bases de datos académicas JCR y Scopus, de 33 artículos publicados en el intervalo de 2013 al 2015, con el objetivo de determinar los aspectos abordados en relación a la calidad pedagógica de los MOOC. La metodología utilizada se basa en el procedimient…

Learning Research Methods and Processes via Sharing Experience in a BLOG

2006

The goal is to increase knowledge about different research methods that have been employed in the information technology field by supporting the information exchange, collaboration, and cooperation between researchers. Well-designed, well-told stories can help others learn from past situations to respond more effectively in future situation. A blog is presented where PhD students and researchers are invited to collaborate by providing their stories, reading and commenting existing stories. This infrastructure allows researchers and PhD students to write the contents posing questions and finding answers on the relationship between research process and research results.

Bruk av e-læring i spesialisthelsetjenesten - hva nå?

2014

Masteroppgave i helse- og sosialinformatikk HSI 500 Universitetet i Agder 2014 Background The demand for efficiency and collaboration in the health care industry is ever increasing. There are requirements for increased skills among health care workers. Web-based learning is a form of training that is increasingly used. The purpose of this study was to review the use of web-based learning in specialist health care services. This study aims to answer following research questions: 1) How well is it facilitated for web based learning in the health care industry, 2) How is web-based learning perceive by the user, and 3) What are the learning outcomes after having conducted web-based learning. Me…

Analyse économique de l'e-learning : quelques pistes pour le futur (Keynote Lecture)

On UML modeling tool evaluation, use and training

2017

Unified Modeling Language™ (UML) is an international standard for systems modeling. UML is used for modeling requirements, architecture, detailed design, and software code generation. UML modeling tools offer graphical editors for UML model development, generating software from UML models, creating UML models from the software, and supporting collaborative model development. This thesis offers new knowledge about UML modeling tool use, evaluation, and training. The main research question is: How can a globally distributed product company where UML modeling activities are scattered across different locations and countries implement a UML modeling tool? Five studies comprise the research proc…

A Matrixulation Method for Mapping an E-learning Platform Designer’s Conception of Learning: A Pilot Study

2004

This paper presents a method for analyzing human conceptions related to e-learning, based on positioning data on what is called here a learning matrix. The set of dimensions comprising the matrix distinguish between emphasis on individuality and sociality in learning, between viewing learning as knowledge adoption and as knowledge construction, and between viewing learning as subjective and as objective to time. The learning matrix is used to visualize and compare conceptions of learning extracted from literature and from individual perceptions of learning, revealed through interviews. This study supports the development of e-learning environments and casts light on different conceptions of…

Remote programming of network robots within the UJI Industrial Robotics Telelaboratory: FPGA vision and SNRP network protocol

2009

This paper presents the UJI Industrial Robotics Telelaboratory, which lets Ph.D. and Master’s degree students perform robotics and computer vision tele-experiments. By using this system, students are able to program experiments remotely via the Web, in order to combine the use of a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) to provide real-time vision processing, a conveyor belt, and a Motoman industrial manipulator. This paper introduces the novel SNRP protocol (i.e., Simple Network Robot Protocol), which permits the integration of network robots and sensors within an e-learning platform in a simple and reliable manner. As long as the students are able to interact remotely with a real robotic sc…
