The quantitative research data of the education curricula was gathered and mapped to NICE Cybersecurity Workforce Framework (NCWF) categories to provide a common background for data comparison and analysis. The research found the education heavily responding to and emphasizing Operate and Maintain and Securely Provision categories of the framework, with others being present, but with smaller ECTS (European Credit Transfer System) offering in the institutions providing higher education. This leaves doubt if the used framework accurately describes the workforce, or if the education fails to deliver on all categories. Based on these results, more adapt curriculum and course design can be conducted by educators focusing on cyber security.","PeriodicalId":250546,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Education Technology and Computers","volume":"88 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122964646","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":"Using BIM as a collaborative platform to improve e-learning in civil engineering","authors":"B. Sanchez, M. Rodríguez-Paz","doi":"10.1145/3436756.3437015","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1145/3436756.3437015","url":null,"abstract":"Due to the advancements in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in university education, e-learning has become an essential part of Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) education programs. Building Information Modeling (BIM) is an ICT that can be used as a powerful didactic method approach to improve e-learning outcomes. A collaborative BIM tool was implemented in a project design class in a civil engineering course. This study aims to analyze the way BIM technology supported resource sharing within and across project groups, reinforced the forms of group collaboration, and improved e-learning outcomes. This study was developed under the framework of the new educational model Tec 21 in the Tecnologico de Monterrey university system in Mexico. This study was evaluated using both qualitative (e.g., pyramid discussion) and quantitative methods (e.g., survey). The results showed that BIM helped to improve communication in the group, group sharing of resources, and supported different kinds of group collaboration. The collaborative BIM tool provided a location-independent central virtual workspace, whereas the BIM software provided enough individual capability and resources for accurate building modeling. The paper discusses the importance of embedding supportive ICTs, such as BIM, to improve e-learning in civil engineering courses, as well as the limitations and needs in this field.","PeriodicalId":250546,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Education Technology and Computers","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134286928","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}

Pearce","doi":"10.1145/3436756.3437040","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1145/3436756.3437040","url":null,"abstract":"Socially-Oriented Technologies (SOTs) has taken the world by storm. People from all generations, professions, personal, and academic backgrounds gravitate to social and information communication technologies (ICTs). These SOTs are used as a source of increasing social wealth, educational level, professional careers, and self. Not only that, SOTs have allowed diverse individuals and groups to unite and connect, hence removing geographical and travel constraints, while systematically and simultaneously alleviating ill-psychological feelings, those related to stress, anxiety, and loneliness. Harbouring a sense of belongingness and connectedness has also been linked to SOTs and ICTs usage. Research has pointed out how ICTs and other social infrastructures can both be advantageous and harmful. They can also be compulsory. This article highlights some benefits and challenges related to ICTs and SOTs, human gravitation, education integrations, acceptance, adoption, attractability, and usability. It also shows that even though individuals use SOTs and ICTs for the sake of social enrichment and personal gain, personally and intellectually, excessive use can affect the same person physically, psychologically, and neurologically. The Social Penetration Theory (SPT) is used to determine the nature of socialization and self-disclosure to sustain interpersonal connections with familiar and strange others in a technology-based social setting and technology-driven world. Implications are also addressed. Although there is no distinctive header, this is the abstract.

This study explored the relationship between undergraduates' use of social software and their academic performance. It was found that the frequency of using social software had a negative predictive effect on academic performance, while the degree of engagement had a positive predictive effect on academic performance. In the use of social software, posting updates, chatting and private messages, following group announcements and share (logs, photos, videos), micro- business agent had a positive predictive effect on academic engagement. Game playing had a negative predictive effect on academic performance.

Its history started from the 1960s and most of young students in the special schools for the blind have experience of this sport in a class of physical education or a club activity. However, there is not an appropriate way to recognize motions of players by their own, because of their visual impairments. Therefore, sensing the motion of the Floor-volleyball player and developing a tactile device which shows the motion was carried out in this research. Using a three-dimensional motion capture system, four visually impaired players’ data were collected and analyzed. The results showed that each player has each character of the motion. The significant difference was observed in the back-swing speed. To display the difference to the blind players, a small wireless tactile display device was successfully developed. It equips 384 refreshable tactile pins which are arranged in 36 by 12. These pins are driven by piezo actuators same as the common braille display. The main feature of the device is that the controller equips ESP-WROOM-02 Wi-Fi module and AAA batteries. The device is perfectly wireless and suitable for the physical education field.","PeriodicalId":250546,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Education Technology and Computers","volume":"76 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129352167","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}

This research proposes an extension to the Coh-Metrix algorithm AES, with a focus on feature lists. Technical features, such as, referential cohesion, lexical diversity, and syntactic complexity are evaluated. Furthermore, it proposes the use of four novel semantic measures, including estimating the topic overlap between an essay and its brief. A prototype implementation, using neural networks, is used to test the individual and comparative performance of the newly proposed AES system. The results show a considerable improvement on the results obtained in the existing research for the original Coh-Metrix algorithm; from an adjacent accuracy of 91%, to an adjacent accuracy of 97.5% (and a QWK of 0.822). This suggests that the new features and the proposed system have the potential to improve essay grading and would be a good area for further research","PeriodicalId":250546,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Education Technology and Computers","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131451914","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}
