The contents of the degree programmmes have not been able to respond to this need adequately and the curriculum contents have not always met the industry's knowledge needs. In this paper, we describe a model for designing a degree programme in Cyber Security. We establish the guiding frameworks and requirements within the European Union for a degree programme. Given the researched background, we propose a systematic way to implement knowledge, skill and competence objectives to a degree programme by using generally accepted frameworks. The framework targets engineering education in information technology, cyber security given on university level. By having a well-established model for the degree programme, the private and public sector can flourish by having competent personnel at their use as employees.","PeriodicalId":161426,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Education Technology and Computers","volume":"17 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":"126553518","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}

We study geographically granular economic patterns in ~76,000 U.S. registrations for ~600 HarvardX and MITx courses between 2012 and 2018, identifying registrants' locations using both IP geolocation and user-reported mailing addresses. By either metric, we find higher registration rates among postal codes with greater prosperity or population density. However, we also find evidence of bias in IP geolocation: it makes greater errors, both geographically and economically, for users from more economically distressed areas; it disproportionately places users in prosperous areas; and it underestimates the regressive pattern in MOOC registration. Researchers should use IP geolocation in MOOC studies with care, and consider the possibility of similar economic biases affecting its other academic, commercial, and legal uses.","PeriodicalId":161426,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Education Technology and Computers","volume":"33 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":"115022813","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 Jungian-Keirsey system many companies integrated MBTI that offers some potentialities in collaborative education and working teams. More refinements can be realized considering correspondences with the nine-enneagram typologies, the Belbin's nine clusters of behavior, and other elements based on occidental zodiac and oriental inner discovery. All these elements should be integrated in modern companies to improve the efficiency within harmonious employer's activity.

In this paper we used machine learning algorithms to establish a method for evaluating the quality of education in secondary schools, depending on their past experience. The tool developed can be used for performance comparison between different schools and future score prediction. We collected and compared the results of almost 650 students from various regions of Nigeria to establish a relationship between their academic performance in internal and external exams. Internal exams are those conducted by their respective schools while external exams are those held by independent bodies, like WAEC and JAMB. We conducted a regression test on UTME (JAMB) scores and classification test on WASSCE (WAEC) scores. With simple but effective algorithms, we managed to reduce the mean squared error by %75 for regression model, and improved the prediction accuracy in classification by %35. Model development was done by using Python libraries. With a developed model, we compared performances of the schools from different regions in Nigeria. Results show that findings are acceptable and applicable for further use.","PeriodicalId":161426,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Education Technology and Computers","volume":"46 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":"116633198","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 this study, we propose to use text classification techniques to automatically identify Q-matrix. Specifically, we developed a three-stage model. In the first stage, a compact set of key features which are helpful in identifying different cognitive attributes are selected from items. In the second stage, items are transformed into real-valued vectors based on the key features for machine learning. In the third stage, three machine learning algorithms, logistic regression, support vector machine and Naive Bayes, are used and compared for automated Q-matrix identification. Using a sample of 805 third grade math items, we found Naive Bayes was the best algorithm, yielding an accuracy of 85.2% and an F1 measure of 85.6%. Our result indicated that text classification methods have great potential to automatically identify Q-matrix efficiently, and in turn, make cognitive diagnostic more feasible to practitioners.","PeriodicalId":161426,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Education Technology and Computers","volume":"105 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":"131890313","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 Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning and Cognitive Load Theory, through the teacher-fused instructional video on declarative knowledge, this paper set up three subtitle presentation types (no-subtitle, brief-subtitle, full-subtitle) to conduct comparison experiment. Participants watching instructional video in different subtitle presentation styles didn't exist significant difference in cognitive load. Moreover, in aspects of learning outcome, the no-subtitle group was strikingly better than two other groups.

In addition, the development of the competition should not only be sought from the perspective of the professors who designed the activity, but from the perspective of the student who at the time, recognizes that this or that competition has developed in it. Working in a virtual environment has proven to be an excellent tool to train skills in its users, in the same way, we are sure that those who work in the design of it also develop important skills for their disciplinary and professional performance. The measuring of a competence has two main actors, the professor and the students the first one designs how to develop a competence and the second one performs the object designed, this paper will focus on the second actor. The way decided to develop a competence was the design of a 3D interactive virtual ambience to help people learn a simple task. This work presents a qualitative analysis of how a sample of 67 students acknowledge the development of three competences according to four levels, these levels vary from a basic level of a competence to a high achieved level. The results indicate that the students acknowledge a high level of developing such competences and this proves that this type of activities are an important approach to help not only students but people in general to assure that they have achieved a certain level of a competence.","PeriodicalId":161426,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Education Technology and Computers","volume":"57 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":"123734290","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}
