Universities have resorted to online education practices, including online instruction and learning, to achieve outcomes that are essentially comparable with offline classroom teaching. In this paper, an analysis was conducted to identify the impact of parallel online education on instructors and students, and relevant aspects were discussed. This study was aimed at obtaining a deeper understanding of the nature of online education so as to facilitate its long-term growth. This paper suggests that instructors should consider the particularity of online education when completing their pre-class, in-class and after-class instructional design, with a special focus on enhancing the learning outcomes of students.","PeriodicalId":156688,"journal":{"name":"2021 9th International Conference on Information and Education Technology (ICIET)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115272308","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on the master-worker model, the master PC accepts jobs from users and assigns them to available worker PCs. Unfortunately, an efficient job assignment method has not been implemented yet. In this paper, we propose a static job scheduling algorithm considering the CPU core utilization, for the UPC system. Given a set of independent jobs, this two-stage heuristic algorithm finds an assigned worker for each job in order to minimize the makespan. To efficiently utilize CPU cores in worker PCs, the first stage groups workers and jobs into several classes according to the number of available cores or threads. It then greedily sets up job-worker assignments in each class independently. The second stage improves the assignments with a local search method by randomly moving job-worker assignments between different classes. For evaluation, we conducted experiments using six worker PCs and up to 27 jobs. Our algorithm could reduce the makespan by up to 60% compared to three baseline scheduling algorithms. However, its performance gradually decreases as the number of jobs significantly increases.","PeriodicalId":156688,"journal":{"name":"2021 9th International Conference on Information and Education Technology (ICIET)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129517199","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A typology of activism and two scales of face-to-face and digital activism (FUPAS and DUPAS) have been obtained. A democratic gap is found between those who participate and those who do not, and another digital gap between those who participate face-to-face and digitally. Its impact has been evaluated by age, more active and more digital young people, and by country, the most active and digital developed countries. Educating for digital citizenship becomes a priority to overcome the divides and improve democratic health.","PeriodicalId":156688,"journal":{"name":"2021 9th International Conference on Information and Education Technology (ICIET)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114170102","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The resulting articles were examined for trends, general practices, disciplines where the greatest efforts have been made, advances, and relevant production processes. The research reveals that visual synthetic data encompasses filtering, augmentation, and object domain randomization techniques. Further, all of the research that included an evaluation of synthetic visual data suggest that there are noteworthy performance improvements in accuracy. Additionally, producing realistic synthetic data reduces the current limitations related to labeling, image quality, paucity of relevant data, and privacy issues.","PeriodicalId":156688,"journal":{"name":"2021 9th International Conference on Information and Education Technology (ICIET)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126598233","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In teaching, detecting students' typical errors is an extremely important factor for higher teaching efficacy. Most of the current researches use clustering or decision tree algorithms for partitioning. However, these algorithms more or less fail to recognize the connection between students and the errors they make, and cannot effectively and intuitively derive their typical errors. This paper proposes a framework that combines community detection and association rules to detect students' typical errors in English teaching. First, the framework adds the error auxiliary nodes and obtains the student's error communities and typical errors. Second, it calculates the errors' frequent itemsets, and mines the association rules between errors. And last, it combines the association rules with the error communities to supplement the potential errors, which effectively summarizes students' typical errors in their learning process.","PeriodicalId":156688,"journal":{"name":"2021 9th International Conference on Information and Education Technology (ICIET)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130782027","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
