description: The online form of education has recently become very popular worldwide. Academic leaders in many countries have identified this form as a key for long-term development of educational institutions. Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC), intended for the general public have become a phenomenon. MOOCs are offered by universities worldwide. The School of Management / City University of Seattle started as the first institution to offer online education in Slovakia more than nine years ago. In the months of July and August 2013 the School of Management / City University of Seattle offered free courses to the public, again as the first school in the country. The methodology of this form of education will be discussed, comparing our experience with foreign studies and – based on empirical research – effective methods of teaching online courses in an environment of open online courses for the public will be identified.

description: Digital content makes improvement in e-learning for transferring knowledge to learners. By e-learning that delivers digital contents, learners can learn anywhere and anytime and educators can deliver materials in an interactive way. Digital content becomes very important in improving self-learner understanding in computer programming. Experimental design method using control-group pretest-posttest is conducted to compare digital contents effectiveness of learning outcomes in computer programming field for self-learning students. The instrument used is a programming case, with factor and level to be tested is various digital content types, and desired response is learning outcomes increment. This study concludes that there is an average increment of learning outcomes by using various digital contents for self-learning, but still lower average increment compared with traditional classroom method. Results of this study can be a recommendation for educators and students in applying and determining the use of digital contents for their self-learning.

description: Algorithms and data structure is considered as an important course in computer science where students have to learn several fundamental principles of programming. Where many tools have been developed to aid learning programming this work tries to represent the domain knowledge of programming that can be used easily and efficiently by these tools. AlgoSkills is an ontology of algorithmic skills that represents this domain knowledge and developed to be used in any pedagogical task and essentially in the organization of learning resources. A first experience has been conducted to use this ontology to build a basis of algorithmic exercises semantically and pedagogically structured. This basis is initially exploited by Algo+, an assessment tool of algorithmic competencies.

description: MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) are an innovation that have attracted public academic attention in recent times, and which have resulted in the evolution of e-learning (electronic learning) and so far have not achieved their expectations in Higher Education. This is due to the fact that from the outset these courses have faced a number of problems and questions regarding their acceptance, credibility, quality, methods of assessment, learning outcomes and more; which has generated controversy among their opponents, fans and even the creators of MOOCs. This work forms part of a doctoral investigation; in essence these are the results of the preliminary and exploratory stages in the research process, in which projections on the solution of some problems will be included. MOOCs: Their evolution, problems and challenges up to 2015, will surely help to minimize the high dropout rates of students in MOOCs, supported by mobile technology.

Subjects: Communication barriers; e-Learning; Online community; University Students; Virtual classrooms

description: This study explores barriers in computer-mediated communication in a university collaborative learning community, specifically in a community of inquiry (CoI). We analyze the students' perceptions of the obstacles in their online communication, and the evolution of the obstacles over time. We use qualitative and quantitative analysis of the communication. Low levels of barriers are the most common, both in the communications and in the students’ perceptions. There are statistically significant correlations between the different kinds of barriers, and the barriers decrease over time. We conclude that the technical barriers have particular concreteness. This research can be useful to minimize the possible implications of these obstacles for proper development of e-learning.

description: Nowadays, development of application that support cooperative works has attracted recent attention. Thus, several approaches and methods were proposed to reach this aim. In this context, we propose a new solution to the problem of collective work, that present a result of hybridization of several cooperative approaches, as follows: the non-communicative approach to minimizing the required time to perform a cooperative activity and conflict resolution approach based competency for improving the quality of cooperative works. Therefore, we propose a cooperation framework fault tolerant called CoMAS (Cooperative Multi-Agent System) brings preemption resources to cooperating agents (CA) in case of failure to prevent the blocking and ensure the survival of the system. Moreover, we study the case of cooperative authoring systems for e-learning to examine the behavior of our framework with a cooperative activity. Finally, our cooperation approach provides a generic and extensible solution that covers the whole cycle of a cooperation process.

description: Tropical montane forests (TMFs) play a crucial role in providing essential ecosystem services. However, these environments are increasingly threatened by deforestation and degradation. In the Philippines’ TMFs, the extent of deforestation, successional stages, and carbon stocks remain poorly explored. Hence, this study focuses on the Province of Benguet, Philippines, with three specific objectives: 1) to demarcate deforestation using the fusion of Sentinel-1,-2, and biophysical data through a traditional classifier, machine (ML) and deep learning (DL) algorithms; 2) to map the successional stages in different vegetation types through Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR), Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI), Sentinel products and biophysical data with ML; and, 3) to estimate the above-ground biomass (AGB) and above-ground carbon (AGC) through optical, radar, biophysical data and ML. In addition to the field assessments conducted from December 2023 to January 2024, a systematic review of spaceborne remote sensing applications in global TMFs reinforced the significance of this study. The following results are the highlights of this study: 1) generally, RS investigations on TMFs are concentrated in the Americas (62%), with optical sensors (85.76%) being used more frequently than SAR (12.70%); 2) the fusion of Sentinel-1-2 and biophysical data with U-Net DL algorithm effectively demarcated the deforestation (Overall Accuracy (OA) = 86.77%, Kappa Index (KI) = 78.89); 3) elevation emerged as a significant predictor of vegetation type distribution, with Random Forest’s (RF) top 10 features yielding the best predictive performance (OA = 84.22%, KI = 81.19%); and, 4) among the various algorithms utilized for AGB assessment, RF demonstrated the highest accuracy (r = 0.982; RMSE = 53.980 Mgha -1). Above-ground carbon density varied from 0 to 434.94 Mgha-1. This study underscores the urgency of formulating conservation and sustainable management policies. It also emphasizes the significance of Benguet’s TMF in the context of carbon sequestration initiatives like REDD+.

description: The objective of this study is to recommend a training plan for teachers in the Department of Nursing and Rehabilitation that develops the competencies necessary for the educational integration of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in teaching and learning processes. The study was conducted with qualitative tools, beginning with a questionnaire that identified ICT competencies. Professors were able to develop reflection processes regarding their pedagogical practice that resulted in designing learning strategies centred on the student with the support of ICTs. The competencies developed by the professors allowed them to continue exploring the pedagogical technological tools available, that is, taking into consideration the learning objectives that are expected to be reached in the courses and subjects suggested. Personal learning environments served as mediating factors in the development of the professors’ competencies and as a mechanism for continuing with the training process.

description: This paper stems from the need to respond to currently underway processes of knowledge management in the UPS. Knowledge management could be understood in terms of relationships between research and innovation. Research and innovation in their development processes produce tacit knowledge aimed at cultivating competences and capabilities into UPS community. A research-intervention project aims to define a model of social innovation supported by improving the nexus between research-teaching supported by ICT’s.
To this scope, it’s necessary to get involved the stakeholders in a process of PAR-s. PAR-s is aimed at developing competences and capabilities into UPS community for responding to the growing social demand of innovation in education also supported by ICT’s. PAR-s is aimed to facilitate and monitor, through participative evaluation/planning methods and techniques, some innovative organizational/management processes in the Centro Audiovisual Don Bosco. This capacity for self-organization in UPS is embodied in organizational, managerial, improvement and in services aimed at matching the emerging educational challenges of the complexity in the social context. These processes are aimed at enhancing the supply and quality of services linking scientific production and hypermedia from the consistency with the social needs and the demands of education. In this direction, the social problem identified, has been re-configured as a research problem useful for planning the project of intervention.

Subjects: Serious game; learning Algorithmic; Programming;

description: Data structures and algorithms are important foundation topics in computer science education. However, they are considered to be hard to teach and learn because usually model complicated concepts, refer to abstract mathematical notions, or describe complex dynamic changes in data structures. Many students in programming courses have difficulties to master all required competencies and skills especially at introductory level. There are different approaches to improve the dropout rate at programming courses. Recently, games are increasingly being used for education in various fields. We hypothesize that games have the potential to be an important teaching tool for their interactive, engaging and immersive activities. So they can improve student engagement, motivation, and consequently learning. To this end, we are developing a game to teach basic algorithmic concepts and algorithms. We aim to initially investigate the educational games developed for and used in the computer programming domain and review to which level they address the aforementioned difficulties. Then, we propose a new role playing game AlgoGame that contains some of the positive features identified in existing solutions and incorporates missing elements.

description: This paper presents a project carried out by INDIRE (National Institute for Documentation, Innovation and Educational Research of the Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research), called “Educational Avant-Garde” (“Avanguardie Educative”) and aiming at changing the lecture-based teaching and learning routines into student-centered, hands-on and collaborative practices. Changes in teaching and learning practices are especially relevant due to the high dropout rates in secondary education and the recent PISA low-test results.  
Since 2013, INDIRE has been carrying out research activities with the goal of identifying practices that could represent a disruptive and radical change in the traditional classroom pedagogy.
Among all the innovative teaching models, (twelve identified at present), INDIRE selected the practice adopted by a network of Italian schools and imported by the Massachusetts of Technology (MIT), in Cambridge, MA. This practice, whose acronym is TEAL (Technology Enabled Active Learning), proved to be effective in changing the classroom routines and in improving students’ learning achievements. In particular, similar to the US studies on the impact of TEAL, Italian schools have pointed out that by using TEAL, students improve their learning experience and outcomes, feel more engaged, satisfied, aware of ICT pros and cons, and take more responsibility over their learning. Teachers remark that a TEAL-style pedagogy helps them work closely with their colleagues because the problem-solving approach forces them to rethink their subject curriculum.  Moreover, by using TEAL, the education setting is rearranged, the uses of technologies require making conscious pedagogical choices  and flipping the classroom becomes more natural.
This paper analyses the original TEAL model at MIT and the derivative practices observed in the Italian schools with reference to the three main strands of INDIRE research, implementing a radical reappraisal of the concepts of time, space and teaching/learning processes in the Italian school system. Even if other publications describe the TEAL Model, this paper reflects on the positive results of its impact on the Italian school system, underlying strengths and weakness of the process of innovation in schools.

description: According to recent surveys on pedagogical innovation and teachers’ professional development, Italy lags behind most OECD countries when it comes to equipment and usage of information and communication technology (ICT) in school. Schools need to support professional development and new training models, so that teachers who are less proficient in the use of technology can acquire proper skills and strategies. 
This study aims at investigating: lower secondary teachers’ familiarity with ICT pedagogical usage and active learning strategies; teachers’ difficulties in introducing ICT in school, which might be associated with their professional profile; teachers’ self-efficacy perception, which might be associated with computer technologies training. In order to achieve this goal, an informal blended training course supported by Cloud Computing Applications and Services has been organized and monitored. Data collection tools and evaluation questionnaires were arranged and partly submitted. 
According to the provisional results, teacher's ICT perceptions have positively evolved after professional training; conclusive findings analysis should also indicate whether the reinforcement of self-perception enhances teachers’ intention to adopt new technologies in their practice. This study might finally provide education programs with a practical peer-training model, which affects teachers’ self-efficacy perception and leads – in turn – to a larger diffusion of innovating strategies.

Subjects: Software engineering education; Learning process; e-learning; Innovative teaching model

description: In this modern era, software projects have been developed by more than one developer that may be on different division or even different organizations. This approach is already known as Join Application Development (JAD). The main problem on JAD is the effectiveness of collaboration and communication between developers. In software engineering, the communication and collaboration can be facilitated through a good project management and IT infrastructure. However, the approach still has challenges in the process of learning and knowledge sharing. For example, how to make sure that the developers have suf cient knowledge on a project. Furthermore, how developers know what they need to learn and what they need to share with the team members. This paper will propose an innovative teaching model for a software engineering education through software engineering education learning process on the organization. Software engineering education learning process will facilitate the developer team to identify, to learn, and to validate the software engineering education that needed to  nish a software project. This model will utilize software development lifecycle (SDLC) as a timeline to integrate between learning process and project execution. The proposed model can be bene cial for project manager to make sure that the developers have suf cient knowledge to  nish the project effectively.

description: There is a growing body of literature that recognizes the importance of the 3D multi-user virtual environments (3DMUVEs) with high relevance for prospective developments and improvements in both distant and in-class education. However, to be accepted on a larger scale by education practitioners more analytical studies are required to evaluate these environments against usability and pedagogical effectiveness criteria. The present paper proposes an automatic in-world monitoring system consisting in scripted tracking objects and Learning Analytics (LA) tools for an experimental 3D virtual campus. 
The research was conducted within a transversal study using focus groups from two universities, an engineering and a vocational one. The results highlighted the validity of the automated system and LA tools, which can constitute the ground for more efficient teaching and learning in complex activity-based 3D educational settings.

description: A first experience of use of “In Your Eyes”, an Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR) game to foster Spatial Perspective Taking (SPT) skills in young adults with mild cognitive impairments is described along with a brief discussion of the outcomes. IVR is an innovative tool thanks to which a new chapter in the history of e-learning begun. It is now possible to have a personal direct experience of virtual situations as if they were real, involving all the five senses and allowing for a kinaesthetic approach to learning. All those skills that have an embodied component find in the immersive world a perfect training situation. Spatial Perspective Taking is an important skill for orientation in space and mastering it supports independent mobility in town. The fact that the virtual world is perceived as if it was real, and the possibility to move freely into it, allows stimulating the embodied component of spatial reasoning. The gaming situation helps in keeping the player’s interest high and therefore helps in having as much training as needed. Furthermore, IVR makes learning transfer to real situations easier, especially for our target users.

description: Assessing students’ programs by hand constitutes a burdensome task for assistant teachers in computer science course because the number of students and the variability of programs for one problem. So it will be important to support teachers and students in programming initiatives by considering new assessment approaches. In this paper, we propose an automated  owchart algorithms scoring system called eAlgo. Recognition of solutions is based on graph matching. Given parameters to the similarity measure, this method called AMAS (Automatic Matching for Algorithmic Solutions) will be able to assess automatically learners’ algorithms based on a prede ned algorithms pre-established by the instructor. The main goal of the proposed method is to help teachers to alleviate the scoring load.

Long-lived particles from exotic Higgs decays at the FCC-ee - detector comparison and additional Z decay modes
Creators: name: Larson, Mark
name: Skinnari, Louise
Publisher: name: CERN
Year: 2024

description: This note presents work expanding upon the first sensitivity analysis for long-lived scalar particles from exotic Higgs boson decays at the electron-positron stage of the Future Circular Collider (FCC-ee) within the FCCAnalyses framework. The original analysis studies the production of a Higgs boson in association with a Z boson in electron-positron collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 240 GeV, where the Higgs boson decays into two long-lived scalars, each decaying into a bottom anti-bottom quark pair, and the Z boson decays leptonically. Signal points with scalar masses of ms = 20 and 60 GeV are considered, with mixing angles of sin(θ) = 1e−5, 1e−6, and 1e−7. The original analysis uses a displaced vertex-based event selection, with displaced vertices reconstructed using the FCCAnalyses version of the secondary vertex finding algorithm, LCFIPlus.

We expand upon the original analysis by comparing results obtained using the IDEA and CLD detector designs, providing an assessment of displaced tracking performance with each tracker design. It is found that, particularly for the ≈ 0.3 and 8 m lifetime signal points, sensitivity is lost using the CLD detector, as tracks from the scalar particle decay products are not formed due to a lack of hits or acceptance within the CLD tracker. Separately, analysis strategies incorporating hadronic and invisible Z decays are presented, however, not yet in a final state. To identify the Z boson in each signal, a missing energy cut is used for invisible decays, and a jet energy cut is used for hadronic decays. The original displaced vertex selection is still applied to identify the long-lived scalars. The preliminary results indicate that incorporating additional Z decay modes could greatly expand the signal sensitivity, however, the strategy particularly incorporating hadronic Z decays needs to still be refined to improve background rejection.

description: Data is the key component of every machine-learning algorithm. Without sufficient quantities of quality data, the vast majority of machine learning algorithms fail to perform. Acquiring the data necessary to feed algorithms, however, is a universal challenge. Recently, synthetic data production methods have become increasingly relevant as a method of ad-dressing a variety of data issues. Synthetic data allows researchers to produce supplemental data from an existing dataset. Furthermore, synthetic data anonymizes data without losing functionality. To advance the field of synthetic data production, however, measuring the quality of produced synthetic data is an essential step. Although there are existing methods for evaluating synthetic data quality, the methods tend to address finite aspects of the data quality. Furthermore, synthetic data evaluation from one study to another varies immensely adding further challenge to the quality comparison process. Finally, al-though tools exist to automatically tune hyperparameters, the tools fixate on traditional machine learning applications. Thus, identifying ideal hyperparameters for individual syn-thetic data generation use cases is also an ongoing challenge.
