In fact, ITS makes inferences about a student's proficiency level in order to dynamically adapt the learning content or the tutoring style. Around the same time, emotions, whether positive or negative, affect the learning process. Accordingly, the regulation of learners' negative emotional state, is an imperious factor in learning, in order to optimize learners' performances and to improve learning productivity during an ITS episode. Firstly, this paper presents a systematic literature review (SLR) on strategies for regulating the emotional state of learners in the point of view of (a) emotion recognition, (b) emotion modelling, (c) emotion recognition theories, and (d) emotion recognition approaches and methods. Secondly, the paper proposes a new intelligent method, and presents its architecture as a Fuzzy Emotional Regulation for ITS distributed under the Multiagent Approach. This architecture will be used to generate an Emotionally Intelligent Tutoring Sys-tem (EITS) allowing learner to achieve his educational purpose adaptively, anywhere and at any time.","PeriodicalId":213786,"journal":{"name":"2017 16th International Conference on Information Technology Based Higher Education and Training (ITHET)","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127081746","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}

{"title":"Student input — A case of an extended flipped classroom","authors":"T. Vold, S. Bergum, Ole Jorgen S. Ranglund, L. Kiønig, Gisle Bakken, A. Kaloudis, R. Braun","doi":"10.1109/ITHET.2017.8067801","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ITHET.2017.8067801","url":null,"abstract":"The idea from Socrates about the knowledge being a part of the students' knowledge base or ability of combining accessible knowledge forms the backdrop for how the most recent course in Knowledge Management (spring of 2017) was conducted. The course is 7,5 ECTS and the students are primarily adults in a worklife. The course is net and seminar based, with three seminars per semester. During the seminars the concept of Flipped Classroom is used. This means that the students are provided with a recorded lecture in beforehand and only highlights are presented. The rest of the time during the seminar is used to activate the students through tasks and problem solving. However, the tasks are not predefined and prefabricated. The way this course is structured, the students themselves are giving the input to the tasks and assignments. This is based on the idea that the students themselves, coming from a worklife where knowledge management is a part of their every day worklife, should reflect upon their own practice. Also, it is important to share knowledge and by utilizing each students own experiences it is possible to enrich the “database” of cases or tasks for the students to solve and work with in order to incorporate the new theory from the course curriculum. Basing the problem solving on student input provide the lecturer AND the students with a richer knowledge base and case portfolio. This does, however, require some effort from the lecturers side. The input from the students are generally key words and fragments. The session is facilitated by the lecturer, encouraging the students to bring forward own experiences or situations they would like resolved, either real or fiction. The key words and fragments are discussed amongst the students and the lecturer makes notes on a blackboard or on a digital canvas (MS PowerPoint or similar). The students are given a break and the lecturer collects the key words and synthesizes this into a case. Upon the return of the students, they solve the cases in groups and discuss possible solutions and what theory that apply to the different aspects of the case. Then a plenary session is facilitated where a suggested solution is developed. During a one-day seminar three to four cases are developed as a “joint venture” amongst the students and the lecturer. The feedback from the students is very positive. They claim that this way of working strongly contributes to an enhanced learning outcome. Some students also report on utilizing knowledge acquired at these seminars back at their workplace. These are some results from the survey and interviews. This research will be presented in detail in the paper. We will also elaborate on how this way of flipping the classroom can be utilized in different courses and areas.","PeriodicalId":213786,"journal":{"name":"2017 16th International Conference on Information Technology Based Higher Education and Training (ITHET)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130315364","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}

As generation Y and Z enter the universities, other requirements have to be met, because their learning expectations differ from requirements of former generations. Many scientists highlight the effectivity of new teaching methods especially for higher education. The question is if positive effects are noticeable for the students and the lecturer when a course is restructured. The following article investigates the triggers and requirements and also shows possible structural elements for redesigning a course. The obtained positive effects could be an encouragement for other professors and lecturers to rethink their traditional course structures to increase the motivation of students.","PeriodicalId":213786,"journal":{"name":"2017 16th International Conference on Information Technology Based Higher Education and Training (ITHET)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131133289","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}

But, they also produce some important disturbances on electrical distribution lines, mostly harmonics or fast changes of the reactive power. Due to all these issues, power quality aspects become essential for all electrical, power and electronical engineers of today. By consequent, permanent training and education of different specialists acting in this area, according to the updated norms and regulations of this field, becomes even mandatory. This article is about a main component of power energy quality in electrical power systems: harmonics (or interharmonics) pollution of a current wave passing throughout a normal nonlinear domestic load. Some generalities about harmonics analysis are presented first, followed by the description of a very simple and efficient method of power quality assessment, which is implemented in a dedicated educational, scientific and didactic platform. The experimental results are confirming the models involved for making the educational platform. At the end, there is a set of conclusions, related to all experiments involved and for future perspectives of using this piece of equipment. Some simple harmonic reduction and full suppression methods are also mentioned, as part of the teaching stand.","PeriodicalId":213786,"journal":{"name":"2017 16th International Conference on Information Technology Based Higher Education and Training (ITHET)","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130782401","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}
