While the main aspire of such courses is to give students practical industry-relevant “software engineering in the large” familiarity, frequently such courses plummet short of this significant intention owed to be short of industrial experience and support infrastructure, degenerating the course into “one big coding assignment”. Therefore, it is obligatory to design and develop improved infrastructure support for teaching or taking such courses. This would benefit instructors and students communities in computer science atmosphere. Learning analytics lend a hand to the learners to enhance their learning tricks. This was scrutinized among the software engineering students how the learning style and learning engagement sways in gathering knowledge. This paper discusses the importance of learning analytics in software engineering education especially the learning style, learning engagement and its influences in this domain.","PeriodicalId":199152,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Intelligent Interactive Systems and Assistive Technologies","volume":"56 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120984790","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}

Erb's Palsy relates to a handicap wherein the brachial plexus nerve next to the neck is stretched causing the immobilization of the hand. In such situations writing feels like a distant dream. In order to help such patients, this device was made which provides a firm grip between the fingers, mainly the thumb and the index finger to hold a pen or a writing instrument firmly. On adjusting the arm on a support and on shifting the mechanical system left or right with the feet causes the movement of the book from one side to another which requires no mobilization of the arm and causes less strain to the hands and thus helping in accomplishing writing.","PeriodicalId":199152,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Intelligent Interactive Systems and Assistive Technologies","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134294908","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}
