Students are involved to use computers rather than to create and produce. Many efforts are done toward inserting computer science in the schools' curricula; However, Computer science should be treated at an equal level with other sciences. The concepts are not more complex than other sciences. Psychologists and pedagogists prove that students are able to learn different concepts according to their intellectual age when these concepts are brought to them with an appropriate methodology.","PeriodicalId":185614,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Conference on E-Learning and E-Technologies in Education (ICEEE)","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130392852","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}

It holds a promise to be a game changer in elementary school education supporting more constructivist learning practices. This paper offers an insight into what happened when in two elementary school classrooms the students were enabled to generate both content and context for their own learning. One of the cases describes the 6th grade elementary school children's involvement in a participatory design process aiming to design an application for the iPad. The application was to support learning about media production by enabling students to publish a weekly newsletter describing their school week in words, pictures and video. The second case is about how the 5th grade children influenced their teacher and obtained permission to use one of the iPads creativity apps over a two-week period in order to learn about writing. Both of these projects were part of two larger pilot studies following the introduction of the iPad into the elementary school classroom information ecology. The children participating in the studies evaluated the projects as truly successful. The children's criteria of success were how fun and enjoyable it was to use the iPad. The teachers did not find the projects to be successful. The main criterion they used was the learning outcome. Both teachers found the learning outcome to be inferior to what they usually obtain using traditional teaching methods. Both teachers preferred to use the iPad as a plug-on to traditional ways of teaching. Although our study is small, the results point towards issues that may be important for better understanding of the factors related to acceptance of the iPad as a learning tool.","PeriodicalId":185614,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Conference on E-Learning and E-Technologies in Education (ICEEE)","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129602055","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 main problem group recommendation needs to solve is how to adapt to the group as a whole based on item features describing individual user preferences. Our approach takes into account that the distribution of individually perceived feature importance weights variate among members of the group. The two methods to case representation are presented: case representation by combining individually perceived feature importance weights and case representation by combining averaged perceived feature importance weights. In order to compare these two methods to case representation, the two metrics widely used in information retrieval (recall and precision) are used.","PeriodicalId":185614,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Conference on E-Learning and E-Technologies in Education (ICEEE)","volume":"108 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127969026","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}

It enables students to make design and practice at any place and time, even at home, just with an internet access which have no use rights to the physically laboratory. Three different module objects are created by VHDL to design digital circuits in Quartus environment and simulate DE2 board's leds, switches and seven segment displays with the interface for students. They can see the results by interface and web camera. All the training process established on the Lab PC by use of the limited user Microsoft XP Remote Desktop.
