The application of e-learning platforms provides an approach for instructors to collect students' behavior data. This paper aims to extract and analyze students' behavior under Sakai LMS (Learning Manage System). We developed an automated tool based on crawler technology to extract and preprocess learning behavior data automatically. The types of learning behavior we extracted were determined by analyzing the usage of course site in Sakai. To display students' learning behavior intuitively to instructors, we designed trace charts to visualize the data. We used the LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) methodology to analyze students' behavior in whole course duration. Machine learning model GBDT was chosen as the classifier in our model to detect well-performed students. The AUC of our evaluating results is 0.93, which proves that the students' behavior under Sakai LMS can be used to evaluate students' performance and the features we designed for evaluation are effective.","PeriodicalId":323970,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 6th International Conference on Teaching, Assessment, and Learning for Engineering (TALE)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128557082","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 may stem from the fact that scientific discovery process varies from one field to another. Hence, when such a course is designed to prepare science students who are new to research, it should be helpful to encourage students to learn it hands-on. In this study, we redesigned research methods course for computer science master's students from a traditional lecture style to embrace an active learning approach. The newly-designed curriculum was exercised during Fall 2016 to teach 31 students majoring in computer science. We examined the course using authentic assessment, behavioral observation with its rubric template, and questionnaires. The results indicated that active learning is an effective pedagogy as students' research skills were greatly improved statistically significantly at p-value less than 0.01. Students confirmed that they found active learning highly useful particularly for learning research presentation skills and writing skills.","PeriodicalId":323970,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 6th International Conference on Teaching, Assessment, and Learning for Engineering (TALE)","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130403066","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}

Despite the differences, the majority of higher education institutions aim at providing a good quality learning environment to their students. To achieve this goal, these institutions would employ high quality teachers, develop good quality and most up-to-date curriculum, and provide good teaching/learning facilities and environment to their students. To understand how effective these “services” are, institutions would use teaching evaluation as the means to collect feedback on their teaching service quality. In spite of its long history, it is questionable whether these assessments are truly reflecting students' perception on teaching quality as well as their satisfaction toward teaching performance. Built on top of PZB's SERVQUAL service quality measurement instrument, a set of teaching evaluation instrument was developed. 50 questionnaires of a pilot test were collected and results reveal that the five PZB service quality dimensions, except empathy and tangible dimensions, have statistical significant impact on students' satisfaction toward their teachers' teaching performance, while, overall satisfaction toward courses are influenced by students' satisfaction to their teachers and the PZB tangible dimension. Based on the preliminary findings, suggestions are made to educational practitioners to further improve their teaching service quality.","PeriodicalId":323970,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 6th International Conference on Teaching, Assessment, and Learning for Engineering (TALE)","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130664765","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 paper discusses the model of one such implementation, particularly for a large class, with special focus on the online design strategies and a rationale for using them. This pilot implementation was based on the initiative of the University of New South Wales (UNSW), Sydney, in 2017, to allow academics to deliver more engaging and active learning experiences to students. The idea was to create online materials that would augment face to face teaching, thus providing an opportunity for a blended delivery. The conclusions of this paper highlight the effectiveness via observations on improved student engagement and formal feedback from the students, compared to previous offerings of the same course.","PeriodicalId":323970,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 6th International Conference on Teaching, Assessment, and Learning for Engineering (TALE)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134366451","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}

Integrated STEM education undoubtedly forms a new multifaceted phenomenon in education to prepare students to meet the new challenges of the 21st century. Science, Mathematics, and Technology education have always been a part of the K-12 curriculum as individualized disciplines. However, engineering is rarely taught in primary schools, and schools have no empirical experience of how to develop and implement an integrated STEM curriculum for students at the early age. In this project, an exploratory study of design-based research on integrated STEM curriculum with a local primary school in Hong Kong is reported. Through this study, it provides the first-hand experience of how integrated STEM education may be designed and implemented in the future. The findings may help schools in K-12 recognize the challenges and opportunities in bring the integrative learning to students.","PeriodicalId":323970,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 6th International Conference on Teaching, Assessment, and Learning for Engineering (TALE)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130706577","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}

In conjunction, the number of students with learning disabilities and learning difficulties has risen to twenty percent in a leading college. In earlier research, the match between students' learning styles (LS) and their teachers' instructional strategies (IS) and the correlation of this LS-IS match with students' academic achievements was studied. Nevertheless, there is no report of research where one-on-one education is implemented. Moreover, there are no references about the match of a trainees' LS to their tutors' IS and the correlation of this LS-IS match with the trainees' achievements as presented in the current paper. To measure the LS- IS match, two different methods were used. First, calculating the correlation between trainees' LS and tutors' IS (LS-IS correlation); second, calculating the LS-IS distance. Thirty-nine tutors were paired with 42 trainees with learning disabilities (three tutors had two trainees each) during the 2016 academic year. Thus, 42 pairs of tutors and trainees worked to help the trainees achieve better academic grades. The Felder-Soloman Index of Learning Styles (ILS) was used to measure the tutors' preferred IS and the trainees' preferred LS. In both methods, the LS-IS match was correlated with the trainees' grades. If the LS-IS match influences the trainees' achievements, significant positive correlations in the first method and significant negative correlation in the second method must appear. Nevertheless, the results show no significant correlation (positive or negative, accordingly) between the LS-IS match and students' achievements at the end of the first semester of 2016 and again at the end of the second semester of 2016.","PeriodicalId":323970,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 6th International Conference on Teaching, Assessment, and Learning for Engineering (TALE)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123927111","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}

Literature provides for current potential of virtual worlds as an effective learning environment through connectivity, interactivity, and access to user-generated content. However, up to date, limited effort has been made on the use of virtual environment for international creative education (art and design), which is this paper focused on. In order to explore the possibility of exploiting the virtual environment to achieve meaningful learning of creativity, and provide insights of the current practice and the possibility of adopting the Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) in creative education (art & design), with a particular focus in art and design education, for the future investigation in this topic. A number of experiment cases have been conducted in VLE. 3D replica virtual art and design Studio/Gallery/Exhibition can facilitate students to explore the VLE as they would in reality accomplishing what is hard to achieve in a real-life studio while feeling engaged regardless different real-life geographic locations. In addition, intensive interactive features were implemented in the VLE for creative education, such as Portfolio Voting Box, Portfolio Presentation Board, Artwork Questionnaire, Interactive Architecture, and Time Event. The interactive features enable the learner-centered education and problem-solving process to be conducted, which can assist students to actively lead learning process for entertaining, experience sharing, and obtaining better understanding of the art and design concepts and skills associated with their learning experience. Further, by participating the project-oriented and problem-based collaborative design workshop in VLE, students can collaboratively design and cocreate artwork to attain better learning outcomes by collaborating, being, building, and expressing in the way that may not be possible in reality.","PeriodicalId":323970,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 6th International Conference on Teaching, Assessment, and Learning for Engineering (TALE)","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129914655","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}
