The result is, it takes too much time and effort to find an output. Additionally, Microsoft Excel spread sheet is easier for user but it must be executed by computers not friendly to smartphones. Some of these Excel files requires Internet connection to retrieve some necessary data or formula to calculate. Therefore, mobile application is great solution and it is more user-friendly than manual method and spreadsheet in term of real-life use. This work applied linear interpolation equation and Java for Android to create a mobile application capable of calculating initial freezing point of ice cream which affects ice cream quality under the storage. Once, users download and install it from Google Play Store. It works efficiently without advertising nonfiction or any in-app purchase requirement. It is available even on the offline mode. Its interfaces come in graphical designs a lot easier than its predecessors. Then, user is capable of using it single handedly while other preparation of ice cream is also running concurrently.","PeriodicalId":161426,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Education Technology and Computers","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116644288","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}

Improving translation infrastructure or introducing a new IT system would be effective to solve this problem; however, this is hard for local facilities that do not have much budget. In the light of this background, our team thought that a workshop program for staff members of these facilities is basic but is a practical solution. Then, we tried to conduct a workshop collaborating with Ibaraki prefecture, Japan. The workshop mainly focused on the experiences of how these impaired people feel when they receive explanations in cultural facilities. Participants touched tactile material while wearing an eye-mask, listened to a lecture with earphones that produce multi-talker noise, etc. After the workshop, they were required to answer several questionnaires and make comments. The results show that the participants were satisfied with the workshop program, felt they needed more time to acquire information, and would like to recommend the learning experience to their colleagues. The extra comments show that they were motivated to acquire more knowledge about impaired people and practical ways to treat and support sensory-impaired visitors.","PeriodicalId":161426,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Education Technology and Computers","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129539060","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}

This paper describes the type of skills that can be developed with the use of these two apps in the dynamic visualization framework and presents some activities that have the purpose of developing logical thinking and problem solving and spatial abstraction skills. More than 1200 students have used these apps. The results of their use in calculus classes indicate an increase in students' engagement, visualization skills and a significant improvement in final grades.","PeriodicalId":161426,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Education Technology and Computers","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125298241","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}

Many researches have discussed how to increase individual creativity within a group, however, the generating mechanism of group-level creativity needs more research. During group creativity process, members' ideas probably cannot be recognized and appreciated. However, if the individual preparations are relatively complete, the results might be different. In this paper, we investigated relatively complete preparations' effects on group creativity with the help of attentions collected by MindWave. Results showed that the relatively complete individual products were actually helpful to increase the originality and profundity of group creativity.

In general, several prior studies have focused on the factors that influence e-learning effectiveness. However, there is limited research that simultaneously captures and explains the factors impacting e-learning effectiveness in higher education institution in Afghanistan. This empirical study takes a total of 384 students from four Afghanistan universities participating in this study. Findings indicate that individual barriers, technological barriers, and organizational barriers, each had a significant impact on the effectiveness of e-learning.

This paper describes a PLC training course which employs an experimental kit that allows engineers to understand difficult concepts and equations, and how to apply these to real life situations. In addition, this article presents an assignment on how to overcome obstacles. This resulted in an experimental kit and using technology for learning activities, being added to the training course. The article also presents the results of participants' cognitive knowledge and performance on course objectives as a result of the models developed for use in the classroom.
