In Istanbul Provincial Directorate of National Education, management of 3170 schools of 39 districts is planned in. In particular; projects such as the Fatih Project where all the schools are equipped with technological infrastructure, requires correct and fast data flow during the planning and implementation processes because of the cost of a wrong action. For example, information which taken from schools in July cannot be reached and re requested in August because of the vacation of the officer who handles the data. During data gathering process, schools do not send data, they send late, and the information provided is stored in personnel computers. So, there is no continuity of the data and some information from the schools is requested repeatedly and this situation is causing the progeny in planning and implementation. The purpose of this research is to create an educational information system in which school information is effectively managed, do not need a programmer for each information request, in which the continuity and sharing of information is ensured. The program was built using the PHP programming language and the MYSQL database system. A responsive design has been used to allow access from mobile phones, tablets and desktop computers. Some sub-systems have been developed to facilitate data collection and management. One of that sub-systems is that information stored in computers in the type of office formats can be added to the system quickly and forms can be created using the titles of these data on the fly. It is considered that data mining and machine learning algorithms can be added to the system and data mining can be done on the data for future studies.","PeriodicalId":371908,"journal":{"name":"14th International Conference eLearning and Software for Education","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133242649","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}

The main reason for that is the following: the loss of the comprehensive social communication with caregivers and teachers from children's home because of a change of residence in connection with training, employment, returning to relatives, etc. requires distance social and psychological support of care-leavers. The article presents the main results of the joint work of the Laboratory of social projects of Belgorod State University and the state budgetary institution “Spread the wings!” in 2014 ‒ 2017 for the implementation of the distance social and psychological support program for young people, leaving residential care of Belgorod region. The most effective methods of the distance learning are established: (1) the information-receptive method involves the transfer of information to recipients using various kinds of electronic teaching materials, including textbooks, workbooks, audio and video files; 2) reproductive method bases on the algorithmic nature of the activities of students, involves different exercises and tasks which are similar to those presented in recommendations, and are directed on formation of practical skills; (3) problem statement method focuses not only on the perception and comprehension of ready-made conclusions, but also on understanding causal relationships between objects, processes or phenomena, and logic; (4) heuristic method suggests the gradual preparation of students to make independent decisions in problem situations; (5) research method involves the manifestation of self-studying, active search, development of initiative, and creative use of knowledge in nonstandard situations.","PeriodicalId":371908,"journal":{"name":"14th International Conference eLearning and Software for Education","volume":"461 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133302740","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}

The companies need to make sure their products are sustainable and traceable, which requires the involvement of all participants in the value chain. Footwear traceability represents the possibility to identify and trace the elements embedded into the whole shoe value chain (raw materials, production, distribution) by producers / clients / suppliers / stakeholders in order to inform them about the product. For that, each pair of shoes should have a special barcode (as a label) and using a scanning application the person can receive information about the shoe. This study proposes a structured approach that uses a software which provide a report about: The origin of raw material, materials, components used to obtain the footwear; The time and place of footwear manufacturing through the production process. It is necessary to specify the timeframe for which the traceability is ensured, and target workers or management staff on identifying technological solutions and technological equipment used; The location of the product in warehouses and after delivery. It is very important to the producer to have a feedback from customer, to maintain the relationship. For example if the consumer identify non-conformities of the product and the traceability was done properly, then the producer will find very easy and fix the problem. If traceability has not been properly carried out, the costs of restoring the information base will increase. This software will help consumers to get more information about the shoe they want to purchase, on one hand and producers / suppliers to manage the production network, on the other hand.","PeriodicalId":371908,"journal":{"name":"14th International Conference eLearning and Software for Education","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133718798","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}

PROTECTION AND PROMOTION OF CULTURAL IDENTITIES TROUGH INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.","authors":"Mihaela daciana Natea","doi":"10.12753/2066-026x-18-281","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.12753/2066-026x-18-281","url":null,"abstract":"Creating a brand is not an easy task nowadays because generating identities for product or services requires time, money and creative thinking. When it comes to countries regions or places the task is even harder but not because of the number of players that present similar offers but because these identities are based on cultural aspects that reflect from inside out, meaning - they must represent the community but also mean something to the outside world. An important subject developed in the broad subject of Intellectual property is the protection of traditional knowledge, or how a local community or a country can protect cultural and spiritual aspects and the way they can promote it through intellectual property aspects such as trademarks, geographical indications, patents, copyright and related rights. But this protection can raise certain conflicts between countries, because cultural aspects cannot be confined to the limit of a border. This can lead to disputes that have national interest at the core that states cannot neglect because these are elements that define the nations. Such is the case of geographical indications which have shown us in cases such as feta, Tokaj, Habanos and others, that certain elements of intellectual property have a higher meaning that a mere economic one, because they can represent the identity of a place or country. The article explores the different aspects of intellectual property involved in the process of traditional knowledge protection and tries to identify certain aspects that must be taken into consideration when undertaking the task of protecting cultural identities.","PeriodicalId":371908,"journal":{"name":"14th International Conference eLearning and Software for Education","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134005392","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}

Ciorap","doi":"10.12753/2066-026x-18-196","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.12753/2066-026x-18-196","url":null,"abstract":"Often, computer-based education is associated with distance learning in contrast to face-to-face education. The differences between the two educational solutions tend to fade away, influenced by the new forms and educational solutions that are born with technological developments. Although the use of software elements in the study of electronic circuits has been introduced for some time, most applications are limited to providing useful information, formulas or making virtual simulated electrical circuit in ideal conditions. The concept of interfacing elements from classical electronics by making electronic circuits on a breadboard using real components with virtual tools creates a new learning environment with many advantages. A virtual learning environment is a specially designed information space that facilitates the learning process in a traditional way that includes a set of teaching tools designed to improve the learner's educational experience. Learning to use a tool like Educational Laboratory Virtual Instrumentation Suite from National Instruments eliminates the need for bulky equipment in the lab and also allows for the design of customized tools that can be used and reused for specific projects regarding biomedical instrumentation. The active role of the teacher is manifested, in this case, in a different way from the lessons done without computer support. Its presence is discreet, but important; it is the one that sets the time and methods of applying the method as an alternative to classical methods. What is characteristic and very important for these learning environments virtual refers to the active, creative role of learners.","PeriodicalId":371908,"journal":{"name":"14th International Conference eLearning and Software for Education","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131871879","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}

The original contribution is a new perspective of learning the basic practical skills of video signal processing: representation, editing and compression. The e-learning content application has a main menu with three categories and it is divided into 10 work areas. The application is flexible, accepting additions and enhancements to the video formats or codecs. The concepts of format, wrapper, and container refer to the same thing: a software entity that contains one or more codecs inside it. Even though it has a number of shortcomings and modern times have brought to market a number of media formats (Matroska, MP4 or OGG) without its shortcomings, AVI is still the most popular media format due to ease of use and modification, such as and due to a the very good of the quality/resources ratio. The video editing case study in online learning proposed in this paper has important educational features, helping users to learn video processing and to acquire basic skills in video engineering, based on nonlinear video editing and modular construction. As for performances, the application provides good response times for cutting, black-and-white conversion, file merging, and webcam capture. Very good response times are also gained in fast frame shuffle, snapshot capture, data compression, and video capture. The application interface is very simple and easy to use, with clear and explicit menus, intuitive and strategically placed buttons. It is studied at the Information Technology & Computer Systems Master program from the University \"Politehnica\" of Bucharest, within the laboratory classes of Multimedia Equipment and Technologies.","PeriodicalId":371908,"journal":{"name":"14th International Conference eLearning and Software for Education","volume":"70 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114313130","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}

Why? Because education is meant to take us into the future that we cannot grasp, but the children starting school by next year will be retiring in 2075 and the professors are meant to educate them for this. No one has any idea what the world will look like, in spite of all predictions made with the advanced computing techniques in this unpredictable environment. In a world in which the academic ability started dominating our view of intelligence because the universities designed the system in their view, we see a process of academic inflation. We consider the fundamental principles on which we are educating our children, our students, could be redesigned, by giving them the ownership of learning. The new learning trends and new possibilities which technology enables are tools that should be used to boost the education's access. There arise challenges and bottlenecks, but with the right mentality - growth mindset- and using a solid understanding, the solutions could be shaped in such a way to promote diversity and price value, connecting communities, people, ideas. Blending learning in academia and in corporate environments, education is completely transforming due to technology, more like our dynamic environment in the century of Big Data. Thus, the paper presents a vision over the attitude towards education and learning process for interconnected communities. This attitude embraces critical thinking, children's capacity for innovation and it focuses teaching for real life to create innovative individuals and successful citizens.","PeriodicalId":371908,"journal":{"name":"14th International Conference eLearning and Software for Education","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117256598","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}

A child with unsolved problems at visual system certainly will have trouble at school but also in other current activities. Such problems have as main cause the fact that low vision lead to an effort increasing for information perception, understanding and concentration of attention. As a consequence, a major importance is given to the compensatory solutions for low vision, using glasses or contact lenses. A very important aspect is referring to the solutions efficiency evaluation for visual function, especially after a period of time of glasses or contact lenses wearing. For this reason, in the paper is presented a new method developed as research activity, the key-element being to make an efficient and flexible software application for randomly displaying of some optotypes and for degree of rightness and readiness evaluation while their reading. Using the software, the examiner could generate automatically a score and a verdict on child testing results (low vision, degree of correction after training etc). Running the application, the optometrist will be able to select: the age, the category of tracked optotypes, method for quantifying. He will obtain very useful information on totalized scores for all important criteria, depending by the child answer during the tests.

For adults with Cystic Fibrosis, new procedures and devices may arise. Studies have shown that patients forget between 40%-80% provided during a consultation, hence other accessible platforms for disseminating this knowledge is required. Aim: This paper aims to outline the design, creation and evaluation of three patient e-learning tools. These tools are available online so that they can be accessed by patients via bedside tablets in a hospital ward and personal devices. This research will then investigate usage data from those users accessing the tools in a hospital and non-hospital context. Methodologies: Three education tools were developed which focus on Portacaths, Gastrostomy Tubes, and Bronchoscopies. All educational multimedia was developed and validated by the Cork CF Multidisciplinary team. The information is presented to the user in a FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) format, where users can navigate through content via buttons with a series of commonly asked questions. These questions are identified by CF nurse specialists with over 25 years’ experience in educating CF adults on these devices and procedures. The web tools are developed using HTML, CSS, AJAX, PHP and JavaScript. Once the user visits an e-learning tool, a unique identifier is generated and stored in the browser's local storage as well as a text file on the server. Each button click and respective time stamp is then stored in the text file. This data is then analysed to determine the most frequently viewed content as well as time spent viewing content and visiting the e-learning tool. Results: Overall, all three e-learning tools were accessed more frequently by personal devices. Generally, users tended to spend less time using the e-learning tools via the bedside tablet. There was also a tendency for users to visit more general information on the bedside tablets, whereas users who access the e-learning tools from personal devices tended to spend more time exploring the web tools and focused more on care information. Conclusion: Patient education is an integral part of care. From the pilot study conducted by this research, it would appear that patients exhibit different motivations when visiting e-learning material in a hospital and non-hospital setting. As such it is advised that e-learning content is made available to patients in each context.","PeriodicalId":371908,"journal":{"name":"14th International Conference eLearning and Software for Education","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123375150","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}
