The objective of this practice is to maintain a fully face-to-face teaching with lectures and tutorials, but to offer in parallel multimedia resources accessible online, for students who do not wish to participate in the lecture course and to make students work and revise outside the course sessions. Multimedia resources provision as in reverse pedagogy, and its impact on student learning styles, are explored in this article. The main results show that attendance in face-to-face teaching decreases with video provision, even if some students remain very attached to the lectures. The drop in the concomitance of students’ work with the progress of the course, identified as a risk, demonstrates the need of increasing students’ supervision with this type of pedagogy. The students’ approval for this co-modal teaching method is highlighted in this work. For the teacher, the simple software used to create multimedia resources allow to work with complete autonomy, but the time required for these developments mustn’t be neglected. This co-modal teaching mode is a gain of freedom as much for the teacher as for the students.","PeriodicalId":178923,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Global Engineering Education Conference (EDUCON)","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126641271","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 Understand My World app is a new technological solution that allows children to learn new Arabic vocabularies interactively and independently using their smart phones or tablets (i.e., iPad, iPhone). They can use the devices’ camera and microphone to explore the world, understand spoken words, and read written language properly. Images captured by the camera are recognized, labeled, and defined in both speech and writing. Children can also speak into their device to record their speech and listen to it. They can address questions and receive answers. The app then presents the dictated words in both spoken and written form. Using the required Internet connection, the interface automatically provides exceedingly accurate image and speech recognition, all while preserving the participants’ anonymity. We use two AI platforms namely Clarifai and Houndify. The application is designed to be intuitive and seamless to use, which makes it very attractive to children to learn through multimedia.","PeriodicalId":178923,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Global Engineering Education Conference (EDUCON)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126865489","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 fact, these children need to go regularly to specialized school, receive focused education, and interact with teachers to learn. Instructors allocate important time to teach them and use different approaches including, attractive stories, tangible photos, physical plays, sites visit, awards and gifts. However, these modes of education become nowadays very hard to achieve as instructors are teaching from homes or offices through the Internet. They cannot have face-to-face meetings with children in classrooms. The major issue is how to find the necessary materials to teach them the new Arabic vocabularies and explain their meanings in an effective manner. Instructors can use textbooks, online libraries and search engines looking for Arabic educational resources while most of them are in English or in other western languages. The process is very long, time consuming and does not fill-in the gap. We propose to build a new educational large-scale multimedia Arabic corpus that provides thousands of vocabularies and chunks associated with best representative images. The instructors can use the bimodal corpus directly during the learning sessions to explain new Arabic words through images. It currently covers the animals’ domain and contains thousands of well-structured and interconnected entities. Instructors can collaborate in enhancing the corpus by adding new materials through a web-based platform and build then rich source of learning materials.","PeriodicalId":178923,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Global Engineering Education Conference (EDUCON)","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121134549","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 differences between the existing and new target audiences, a set of design principles were derived which shaped the technical adjustments required to provide a suitable platform - mainly related to dynamic tooling, centralized access to exercises, and scalability of the platform to support courses running over longer periods of time.

The World, as we knew it, left to never return. The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the existing major differences in life styles, working conditions, etc. The education sector was severely shaken, with all courses abruptly sent to an online framework, despite the scientific area or level of education. Every player in Education sector had to adjust their performance. Teachers and students were unexpectedly thrown to online communication platforms, namely Teams, Zooms, and asked to continue classes on a new framework, without a priori preparation. This teaching style is defined as emergency remote teaching (ERT), contrasting to the planned and designed online learning. The echo from this teaching paraphernalia is felt in learning quality, motivation and engagement in students, peers’ support, communication, and time management.In this paper, we focus on adaptation to ERT by students attending two Baccalaureate degrees in Engineering, one in Informatics and one in Biomedical Engineering. We gauge the influence of students’ ICT (Information, and Communications Technology) backgrounds in the way they perceive their learning process. The analysis of the data collected, from a survey made to the two groups of students, reveals common challenges faced by the students, from learning physical conditions to difficulty in focusing during online classes, and heartfelt absence of the social part in Education. The higher ICT level from the students attending the Baccalaureate in Informatics Engineering, with respect to students attending the Biomedical Engineering, may explain why 7% of these students choose an exclusively online regime. Nevertheless, the other 93% prefer either b-learning or face-to-face. Students in Biomedical Engineering did not consider the exclusively online learning hypothesis.","PeriodicalId":178923,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Global Engineering Education Conference (EDUCON)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131203748","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}
