Gesture recognition has wide applicability in various industries. There are several types of I/O control devices to achieve quality between user and system interaction. Current hand-held and armband devices enhance immersion and interaction between user and virtual environment. Cognitive trainings in Virtual reality have positive effect to measure user interaction and responsiveness. In fact, there are different technologies and ways to recognize gestures for controlling Virtual environments. It can be helpful to work more naturally and intuitively with hand gesture in the future.","PeriodicalId":304523,"journal":{"name":"2018 16th International Conference on Emerging eLearning Technologies and Applications (ICETA)","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128048430","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}

New methods, new technologies and new demands appear time to time and we have to answer to the challenge. Nowadays almost everybody has minimum one smart mobile device, everybody likes and uses social networks, and everybody is accustomed to get information just in time. Some institute denies the usage of mobile devices during lessons, but we think this is not the proper solution. Instead of denying them we are thinking about how can we use these new possibilities in education? Using classroom response systems may give new interesting methods into our hands. We made a survey to discover the opinion of students, implemented a new tool eLection, which exactly fits to our special wants and measured the results.","PeriodicalId":304523,"journal":{"name":"2018 16th International Conference on Emerging eLearning Technologies and Applications (ICETA)","volume":"34 10-12","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132497554","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":"From App Inventor to Java: A Strategy for Mediating the Transition","authors":"T. Tóth, V. Michaličková","doi":"10.1109/ICETA.2018.8572156","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ICETA.2018.8572156","url":null,"abstract":"In school informatics, visual programming environments are common when teaching fundamentals of programming. Such visual tools were designed to make the programming process easier for novices (in comparison with textual-oriented development tools). In our research, we deal with issues of teaching programming within the upper secondary education. We teach students to program Android mobile applications using the MIT App Inventor 2. Benefits of visual programming are being confirmed throughout the classes repeatedly. However, we observed that students with more serious interest in programming tend to be less enthusiastic about using the MIT App Inventor 2 in a long-term period as their ambition to work in a more professional manner is very strong. The transition to a textual programming in Java is objectively difficult and may be rather frustrating for students. In this article, we suggest a strategy for bridging the gap between visual programming in MIT App Inventor 2 and writing the application's source code in Java to mediate a fluent transfer of knowledge from one context to another. We propose to start with learning activities focused on analyzing and adapting the Java source codes of sample applications that are already familiar to students. These scaffoldings provided by the App Inventor Java Bridge code generator could help students with recognizing the analogies. Next, students should be involved in small scaled programming assignments focused on learning Java and using the supporting App Inventor Java Bridge library directly. The knowledge and skills mediated by Java Bridge technology put students into their zone of proximal development, so they can solve more complex tasks independently and their learning performance is likely to be better.","PeriodicalId":304523,"journal":{"name":"2018 16th International Conference on Emerging eLearning Technologies and Applications (ICETA)","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134030730","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}

Situation in the field of informatics and information technology (IIT) is a little bit different. Universities are not able to prepare sufficient number of graduates! It of course does not mean that companies are satisfied with knowledge and abilities of graduates starting to work for them. They usually complain that graduates are not sufficiently prepared to be “directly” involved to a working team - they are not “readymade” and they must be further educated by company itself. There are lot of arguments from the side of universities against “readymade” graduates for some particular company (scope of knowledge, deep of knowledge, short innovation cycle, …). Even more. Modern university equip their graduates by two important abilities: critical thinking and ability to learn. This two important abilities make the graduates flexible to adapt in a company, but, what is even more important, they are able to “adapt” to “innovation” their current knowledge. This seems to be very important first of all in IT where innovation cycle is very short. Generally, further education is usually realized in two different ways: teaching and learning, and learning is prevailing teaching. This is another argument for an importance of the above mentioned abilities equipped graduates of modern university. A scope of knowledge in IIT is very broad and deep. This naturally leads to structuring of its education in two basic ways: horizontally and vertically. We can see it very clearly at the university study, where we have: vertical scaling: undergraduate study, graduate study, postgraduate study. horizontal structuring: study programs. In this contribution we discuss scaling and structuring of digital literacy in both graduate and postgraduate education.","PeriodicalId":304523,"journal":{"name":"2018 16th International Conference on Emerging eLearning Technologies and Applications (ICETA)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130896530","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":"Continual Improvement Process in Scientific Publishing","authors":"G. Juhás, L. Molnár, Ana Juhásová, Miriam Ondrisová, Milan Mladoniczky, Juraj Mažári","doi":"10.1109/ICETA.2018.8572053","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ICETA.2018.8572053","url":null,"abstract":"In this contribution we discuss how continual improvement can be deployed in processes of scientific publishing using web-based technology and online access. By continual improvement process we understand ongoing activities with the aim to improve a product or a service. When applied to a field of scientific publishing, where the products are scientific papers, continual improvement process yields to a new ecosystem of scientific publishing. In this new ecosystem, the research papers are considered more as a service than as a product of research activity. In other words, under continual improvement paradigm the result of scientific publishing process is understood more as a channel to share the knowledge of authors with the scientific community. A scientific paper is not anymore understood as a static document once published than staying constant. A scientific paper is rather understood as a dynamic document evolving in time, which can have different versions and releases, published online, enabling incremental and continual improvement in analogy to software as a service, with software new version releases and software support enabling continual improvement of software. In continual improvement process applied to scientific publishing, the pre-publication peer review is replaced by post-publication open peer review, where any researcher can write a peer review of a version of already published paper or comment the paper, give the paper a rating etc. Based on reviews or new results authors can anytime release a new version of the paper, correcting errors resulting in releases with mirror changes or adding new incremental results creating major releases. Such new ecosystem should also enable to create much more accurate citations, for example to easily refer to concrete definitions or results from other papers. Instead of making each paper self-contained, such concept enables much more flexible work for researchers including efficient reuse of part of other papers, for example in form of short comments building up from another paper etc. As a result, a new methodology of evaluating the impact of scientific papers in particular and new methodology of bibliometrics in general should arise, including those aspects investigated by altmetrics. Continual improvement process in scientific publishing creates also new challenges for the stakeholders including libraries, such as the need to guarantee the long term online and open access to scientific papers understood as an evolving collection of versions, the need to ensure the access to all versions of a paper or the need to visualize changes between versions, etc.","PeriodicalId":304523,"journal":{"name":"2018 16th International Conference on Emerging eLearning Technologies and Applications (ICETA)","volume":"97 6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132871282","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}

Because of higher and higher demand for bandwidth in enterprise LANs, data centers, etc., optical systems like xWDM becoming to be common. This have to lead to new network design based on load balancing methods not generally used in this kind of environment. Because IP traffic is also becoming more sensitive to delay and reliability, it's necessary to make proper configuration of network load balancing technologies. Unfortunatelly, available bandwidth coming from high-speed optical systems is often underutilized and only proper design and configuration can bring the benefit of higher bandwidth and safer links.
