  • a pedagogical web service based Interactive Learning Environment for a digital filter design course an evolutionary approach
    Computer Applications in Engineering Education, 2010
    Co-Authors: Weifan Chen, Tsungli Wang
    Abstract:

    The course of digital filter design in electronic/electrical engineering involves complicated mathematical equations and dynamic waveform variations. It is a consensus among educators that using simulation tools assist in improving students' Learning experiences. Previous studies on system simulation seemed to lack an appropriate approach to design such a course. Few emphasized the design of an Interactive Learning Environment by using an evolutionary approach. This study integrated the design concept of an evolutionary approach and Web service-based technology into a simulation system entitled Pedagogical Web Service-Based Interactive Learning Environment (PEWSILE) was introduced. The PEWSILE system contained two Interactive Learning Environments—a simple system and an advanced system. It offered a total of six pedagogical Web services. The simple Interactive Learning Environment included text/color-based services, and text/color/diagram-based services. The advanced Interactive Learning Environment included batch-based, interval change-based, comparison-based, and scroll bar-based services. The study also assessed the students' performance in six pedagogical Web services covering interaction and overall use, usefulness, and intention to use through a questionnaire survey and subsequent interviews. Three significant findings were reported. For example, in the advanced Interactive Learning Environment, the designs of interval change-based and comparison-based services make it easier to observe differences in the outcome of parameter change, while batch-based services lacks the element of waveform comparison. In sum, the findings in this study provide helpful implications in designing engineering educational software. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

    Co-Authors: Jie-chi Yang, Chih Hung Chen, Mingchang Jeng
    Abstract:

    The aim of this study is to design and develop a Physically Interactive Learning Environment, the PILE system, by integrating video-capture virtual reality technology into a classroom. The system is designed for elementary school level English classes where students can interact with the system through physical movements. The system is designed to be easily established with a minimal amount of equipments that includes a personal computer, a webcam, and a projector. The Learning activities comprise six stages, holding specific tasks and Learning objectives. Each stage is designed with a distinct device. These devices, including a conical cap, a pistol, a searchlight, a magnet, and a spray paint can, are designed to improve the accuracy of detection as well as to increase student enjoyment during the Learning process. Furthermore, the system consists of five functional modules, such as providing an interface for teachers to incorporate appropriate Learning materials according to their specific teaching requirements. An empirical study is conducted to examine the effects of the use of the PILE system by comparing two different types of English Learning methods with 60 second-grade students from two classes at an elementary school in Taiwan. Four different tests are used to assess the different aspects of the system: an English Learning achievement test, a questionnaire assessing students' Learning motivation, a Short Feedback Questionnaire (SFQ), and a teacher interview. The results of students' English Learning achievement tests show that there was a significant difference between the pretest and the posttest in the experimental group, as well as between the two groups in the delayed test. These results demonstrate that the system had a significantly beneficial effect on students' long-term Learning. The results from the questionnaires on students' Learning motivation and the SFQ reveal that the system enhanced the students' Learning motivation. The results gained from the teacher's interview illustrate that the teacher believed this system was beneficial in assisting English Learning. All findings collectively demonstrate that the proposed PILE system effectively assist English Learning in a classroom Environment.

    Abstract:

    Recently, many researchers believe that Learning motivation and interest can be enhanced by participating in educational games. Video capture virtual reality technologies provide a possibility for designing games. However, it has not been widely used in the field of educational games. A digital game-based Learning system, called PILE (physical Interactive Learning Environment), was developed which utilized video capture virtual reality technologies and was applied in educational setting with Learning activity design. The Learning activity was designed by integrating the PILE system to English Learning materials of the third grade of elementary school along with the phonics in a digital game-based Learning design. An experiment of using the PILE system was conducted for examining English Learning achievement,motivation and attitude with two groups. The experimental group used the PILE system for English Learning. In contrast, the control group used PowerPoint slides for English Learning. The result of the experiment shows that studentspsila English achievement is enhanced by integrating the PILE system into English Learning activity with game-based Learning design. Positive Learning motivation and attitude on English Learning was also found.
