Students usually find difficult to estimate if their effort in learning courses finds the instructor expectations. They tend to estimate "if they are doing right" by comparing themselves with peers, but this is difficult ...

Games offer a suitable testbed where new methodologies and algorithms can be tested in a near-real life environment. For example, in a car driving game, using transfer learning or other techniques results can be generalized ...

The phenomenal development of MOOCs in recent years has made an earthquake in the field of higher education globally. In essence, it is less a localized revolution that simply applies internet technologies into education, ...

The lack of anonymity when being examined is a problem for students and teachers alike. So far, student identification in examination processes consists in a physical mark that unmistakably represents the student. New ...

The relaxed Newton's method modifies the classical Newton's method with a parameter h in such a way that when it is applied to a polynomial with multiple roots and we take as parameter one of these multiplicities, it is ...

This study aims to describe a qualitative method to analyze different patterns of organization that students show during their interaction in a virtual group. Literature review has shown that collaborative patterns have a ...

This chapter presents a case study of the use of ICTs, and in particular the blog, in a Spanish Secondary School classroom in order to promote the teaching of values such as solidarity or tolerance. The aim was to enhance ...

This paper deals with the enlargement of the region of convergence of Newton's method for solving nonlinear equations defined in Banach spaces. We have used an homotopy method to obtain approximate zeros of the considered ...

In bibliometrics, there are two main procedures to explore a research field: performance analysis and science mapping. Performance analysis aims at evaluating groups of scientific actors (countries, universities, departments, ...

In this study an Artificial Neural Network was developed to predict the penetration of drugs through a polydimethylsiloxane membrane by molecular descriptors. A total of 245 drugs and their absorption experimentally ...
