How To Make A Digi-Brick
This project examines a non-traditional method of construction generated through a digital design process that leverages digital fabrication techniques related to masonry construction. Where as architects? use of computers first affected shape and structure, it is now additionally affecting material, construction, and craft. This design proposal explores these concepts through the production of a wall using simple configuration and reconfiguration of a repeated module adaptable to differing and

The Food Technology Plant Special Research Centre and Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of UAB, and the University of JosÈ Eduardo dos Santos of Angola, will work jointly to construct and put into operation a food technology research and transfer centre.Â
Populations and ecosystems
The ecosystem concept is rather complex, but students often find these interactions interesting and are usually easily engaged in ecosystem studies. You can then capitalize on student curiosity by providing a learning environment conducive to inquiry.

Avaliação da Qualidade em Conteúdos Digitais
No âmbito educacional, os conteúdos didácticos são concebidos com a finalidade de levar o aluno a construir determinado conhecimento. A diversidade de soluções tecnológicas educacionais abre novas perspectivas na melhoria da qualidade dos sistemas educativos e simultaneamente vem dando origem a maiores nÃveis de exigência no que se refere à qualidade dos conteúdos digitais de carácter educativo, tornando cada vez mais necessário desenvolver metodologias e métodos de análise e aval
E-Conteúdos e Ambientes de Aprendizagem
Neste capÃtulo, são abordados temas relativos à criação de conteúdos para ambientes virtuais de aprendizagem. Numa primeira análise crÃtica, procura-se contrariar a ênfase exagerada nas caracterÃsticas técnicas dos ambientes multimédia e do pouco interesse normalmente dedicado aos processos de interacção e à s necessidades reais do utilizador individual. As variáveis intrÃnsecas ao perfil cognitivo do aprendente e ao processo individual de aprendizagem, bem como as variáveis rel
Real Remote Mass Spring Laboratory Experiments across Internet–Inherent Part of Integrated E-Learni
The paper presents the application of Integrated e- Learning, presented in general terms at this conference [1], exemplified on one of the most important parts of Physics - the thematic block “Oscillations“. The goal of the course of Physics in the chapter of Oscillations is to show the oscillatory movement as a basis of nearly all natural phenomena. The unifying model for all real world systems then may be the mass-spring system constituting the mechanical oscillator. The three constituting c
Knowledge in Action, Build Stuff

Internet Scout Project
The demonstrations given on this Web site are a collection of Java applets and RealAudio clips that explain many underlying concepts of math and engineering. They were developed at John Hopkins University for a project that attempts to use the technology of the World Wide Web in engineering education. Students, under the supervision of electrical and computer engineering professor Dr. Rugh, have prepared many of the demonstrations. The moving graphics help illustrate such difficult topics as con
Exploring Semantic Description and
Matching Technologies for Enhancing the
Automatic Composition of
In the implementation of e-learning frameworks, a problem still unsolved is how to use and integrate low-level learning services to compose more complex high-level services or tools that make sense to both tutors and learners. In that sense semantic description of Grid learning Services appears like a powerful tool to be used for discovering and matching learning services depending of a set of parameters inside the learning framework. These parameters must represent significant functional charac
Towards educational data mining: Using data mining methods for automated chat analysis to understand
In this paper we investigate the application of data mining methods to provide learners with real-time adaptive feedback on the nature and patterns of their on-line communication while learning collaboratively.We derived two models
for classifying chat messages using data mining techniques and tested these on an actual data set [16]. The reliability of the classification of chat messages is established by comparing the models performance to that of humans. Results indicate that the classificatio
Women in World History
Women in World History is an online curriculum resource center designed to help high school and college world history teachers and students find and analyze online primary sources on women in world history. Materials encourage teachers to integrate recent scholarship and give students a more sophisticated framework for understanding global women’s history. Women in World History reflects three approaches central to current scholarship in world history and the history of women: an emphasis on
Using just-in-time information to support scientific discovery learning about geometrical optics in
Many problems that learners regularly encounter during discovery learning with computer-based simulations have been identified. A number of studies have examined different ways of support for discovery learning by facilitating the learning process. This study examines the effect of facilitating access to prior knowledge through just-in-time information. It is expected that access to just-in-time information will foster learning but will not interfere with it. To test these hypotheses, an experim
Authoring Intelligent Tutoring Systems:
An analysis of the state of the art
This paper consists of an in-depth summary and analysis of the research and development state of the art for intelligent tutoring system (ITS) authoring systems. A seven-part categorization of two dozen authoring systems is given, followed by a characterization of the authoring tools and the types of ITSs that are built for each category. An overview of the knowledge acquisition and authoring techniques used in these systems is given. A characterization of the design tradeoffs involved in buildi
Internet Scout Project
Located at the University of Wisconsin - Madison, the Synchrotron Radiation Center (SRC) "uses an electron storage rind (Aladdin) to produce synchrotron light, which is used by scientists from all over the world to conduct experiments." After learning the extensive history of the research laboratory, visitors to the site can discover the electron storage ring and beamlines properties, status, and schedule. Users can discover examples of research projects that utilize SRC's capabilities of operat
