P2P overlay over Simctl

This project intends to find and implement a p2p overlay over the simctl platform. Simctl is used both for teaching and research in the network engineering department.P2P systems became an interesting area since early 2000. Researchers conducted a large amount of research in some challenging areas and, to check their experiments, several implementations and simulators were created. Over time, Internet has evolved and P2P has been widely used for file sharing, but the main structured P2P overlays were progressively abandoned. However, these overlays are still taught in network engineering courses. The aim of this master thesis is to find and implement a p2p overlay over the \texttt{simctl} platform, used both for teaching and research in the network engineering department. First, it is tried to locate and test the original structured P2P overlays source codes developed by the authors of the original publications. Then, several available P2P implementations developed by researchers and users have been tested. Once the software was selected, different scenarios for \texttt{simctl} were developed. Finally, a lab session was created by using the previous scenarios

Introduction: Finding common ground beyond fragmentation

This chapter begins with an outline of the European context within which the twenty six research papers presented in this book emerged. A particularly important aspect of this context is Network 27 on Didactics, Learning and Teaching of the European Educational Research Association (EERA) which formed the core of the research community in which this work was developed over a five year period (2006-11). The next part of the chapter provides an overview of the six sections which make up the structure of the book as a whole. A discussion then follows of the clear continental divide with respect to didactics, learning and teaching in the European landscape which is based on the references used by the contributors to this book. This leads to a consideration of the historical origin of present-day didactics which can be traced back to a common heritage in the work of Jan Amos Comenius (1592-1670) in order to provide a platform in the search for common ground. In the section which then follows there is a discussion of the didactic triad as a tool for holding the complexity of teaching-studying-learning situations and this is considered in an expanded context in which classroom interaction in the school is placed within a wider societal context. Based on a review of the contributions to this book, the final parts of this chapter consider existing knowledge gaps between different national traditions and also identify themes that form the basis for building and extending common ground. The themes that have been identified through this process of synthesis relate to pedagogical content knowledge, learner knowledge, joint didactical action, curriculum research, the so called shift from teaching to learning, the philosophy of Bildung and its practical implications, links between theory and practice and the significant role of experimental schools. Finally these themes are proposed for consideration within the wider research, policy and practice community as the basis for future international co-operation that offer the potential to advance mutual understanding and common insights in this fiel

Proceedings of the ANDROID Doctoral School

The Doctoral School initiative which was set up by the ANDROID network is a core element of the overall project that aims to strengthen the link between research and teaching in the area of disaster resilience. The mixed teaching space that we have developed as part of this ongoing project has attempted to encourage and promote the work of doctoral students in this field. The ANDROID disaster resilience network doctoral school consists of two programmes: 1. Online Doctoral School (ODS) and 2. Residential Doctoral School (RDS) The interlinked programmes work together to deliver on a varied number of teaching and research driven objectives. The online doctoral school which was conducted in Spring 2013 provided an innovative platform to transfer and develop the knowledge base of doctoral candidates. This was achieved through the conduct of a series of domain expert presentations along with thematic sessions aimed at engaging the doctoral researchers in knowledge discovery through detailed discussion. The online doctoral school will be rolled out again in Spring 2014

Middle School Physics Experiment Teaching Within “Internet Plus”: From the Status Quo to Implications

Middle school physics experiment is a significant basic course with extensive content and strong practicability. This course has high requirements for students to master and understand the background and basic principles of various physical experiments, as well as the working principles and the use of various experimental devices. Based on the importance of physics experiment teaching and the limitations of the traditional experiment teaching mode, this paper first reviews the traditional mode in the context of the Internet and puts forward the new physics experiment teaching mode within "Internet Plus" in the new era, including theoretical guidance of constructing the experimental teaching mode, the innovation of teaching methods and examination methods, and the prospect of promoting the development of education industry. At the same time, this paper puts forward the network teaching platform system that can implement the new physics experiment teaching, including exercises, flipped classroom, and Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC), and discusses them separately, hoping to provide research reference for middle school physics teaching and research in the future

Design and Implementation of the PLC Control Lab Using GSM System

[[abstract]]It has become a trend to integrate automatic industries via Internet and wireless applications over network. Along with the advancement of technology development, research on wireless applications and remote control has become significant and popular today. Thus, we have designed and implemented a teaching platform with wireless applications and remote control using GSM system in the mobile-PLC (M-PLC) control lab. The integration of the mobile control and measurement using the GSM short message service (SMS) provides a teaching platform where students can learn anytime and anywhere. We can monitor machine operations using GSM system. The usability and economy of teaching media is apt, since cell phones are cheap, easy to operate and portable.[[conferencetype]]國際[[conferencedate]]20060705~20060707[[booktype]]紙本[[conferencelocation]]Kerkrade, Netherland

Academic use of custom social networks in translation training

The widespread application of e-learning in traditional learning contexts can be justified only if it offers results that are better than those previously achieved. Research into the academic use of social networks has focused on a range of fields including learner motivation and sense of community. This area of study seeks to disprove the negative ideas inherent in such networks and create communication spaces similar to those provided by existing social networking sites, but with the fundamental objectives of education and teaching. The pedagogical value of this tool is analyzed and evaluated for the purpose of improving the new didactic methods used in the classroom through incorporating communication means that are more familiar to students. We created a social network on the online platform Ning, which enabled us to create a personalized social network for the course ‘Translation 6: Legal, Economic, and Commercial (English into Spanish)’. Our analysis of the users’ interactions with the platform revealed high participation and numerous visits to the social network. On average, the students accessed the site once or twice daily to communicate with their teacher or classmates about the coursework or to reference available materials, among other activities.This study was financed by the University of Granada as part of an on-going innovative teaching project

Factors Impacting Satisfaction and Loyalty Towards Network Teaching Platform Among Students Majoring in Humanities and Social Sciences in Chengdu, China

This research aims to evaluate influencing factors of satisfaction and loyalty towards network teaching platform among students majoring in humanities and social sciences in Chengdu, China. The conceptual framework was built based on trust, experience, service quality, perceived value, privacy, satisfaction, and loyalty. Quantitative method was applied for this research by using probability and nonprobability methods, The sampling techniques are judgmental, stratified random and convenience sampling. 517 samples were collected from two target universities, namely Xihua University (XHU) and Jincheng College of Chengdu (JCCCD). Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Structural Equation Model (SEM) were utilized to determine the relationships of the variables.  The results show that service quality, perceived value, privacy and trust have a significant impact on satisfaction. Additionally, satisfaction and trust significantly impact loyalty. Conversely, experience has no significant impact on satisfaction. online teaching platform developers, educators, and universities must continuously improve service quality, make users perceive the platform’s value, protect users’ privacy, and make them believe the platforms are trustworthy
