This research explores the execution of an inclusive learning environment (ILE) in a first-year Software Engineering programme at a Chinese university within a Transnational Education (TNE) framework. The practical use of inclusive education in TNE settings is still relatively underexplored, despite its acknowledged role in improving student experi...

When the traditional "one size fits all" approach is used in designing educational games, the game context is usually arranged in a fixed sequence. However, the designated content may not effectively support the diversity of players. The player's ability and characteristics should be considered and supported with an appropriate learning context emb...

In automated essay scoring (AES) systems, similarity techniques are used to compute the score for student answers. Several methods to compute similarity have emerged over the years. However, only a few of them have been widely used in the AES domain. This work shows the findings of a ten-year review on similarity techniques applied in AES systems a...

Conventional taught learning practices often experience difficulties in keeping students motivated and engaged. Video games, however, are very successful at sustaining high levels of motivation and engagement through a set of tasks for hours without apparent loss of focus. In addition, gamers solve complex problems within a gaming environment witho...

Unlike conventional taught learning, video games are very successful at keeping players constantly motivated and engaged on a set of tasks for many hours without apparent loss of focus. Additionally, when playing, gamers solve complex problems without experiencing the fatigue or frustration, which would normally accompany a comparable learning task...

As video games are continuously growing in popularity and number of users, the academic community has shown an increasing interest in their potential as innovative teaching tools. Typical games contain tasks that players must complete repetitively in order to advance to later levels, yet somehow they manage to keep them constantly motivated. Enjoya...

In this paper we describe nibble.io, an offline information kiosk that has been designed for deployment within the rural communities of developing countries. We show how a pervasive technology such as sound can be used as a method of interaction between low-end feature phones and information kiosks built using standard PC monitors. By connecting an...

Wireless data transmission over sensor networks is known to consume a significant share of energy compared to data computation on the device itself. Thus data compression techniques have been used to reduce the data size at the cost of extra processing time on the device. This paper investigates the energy consumption trade-off of XML compression a...

Prognostics is seen as a key component of health usage monitoring systems, where prognostics algorithms can both detect anomalies in the behavior/performance of a micro-device/system, and predict its remaining useful life when subjected to monitored operational and environmental conditions. Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) are optoelectronic micro-devi...

Digital modelling techniques can be beneficial to the restoration and preservation of a variety of heritage structures. These techniques can additionally be used to aid understanding and interpretation of historical events. This article outlines how the use of digital modelling techniques has been applied to heritage sailing vessels such as the Cut...

Compared to the traditional light sources, applications of LED lights are continuously increasing as they have many advantages including high reliability, greater energy efficiency, long life time, small in size, and faster switching speed. Even though LEDs have high reliability and long life time, manufacturers and lighting systems designers still...

The Cutty Sark is undergoing major conservation to slow down the deterioration of the original Victorian fabric of the ship. While the conservation work being carried out is “state of the art,” there is no evidence at present of the effectiveness of the conservation work over the next fifty years. A prognostics framework is being developed to monit...

Prognostics and health management (PHM) has emerged in the last few years as one of the most efficient approaches in failure prevention, predicting reliability and remaining useful life of various engineering systems and components. The diagnostics of unusual performance trends typically is associated with the requirement for a continuous monitorin...

The Cutty Sark is undergoing major conservation to slow down the deterioration of the original Victorian fabric of the ship. While the conservation work being carried out is "state of the art", there is no evidence at present of the effectiveness of the conservation work 50 plus years ahead. A Prognostics Framework is being developed to monitor the...

The Cutty Sark is undergoing major conservation to slow down the deterioration of the original Victorian fabric of the ship. While the conservation work being carried out is ¿state of the art¿, there is no evidence at present of the effectiveness of the conservation work 50 plus years ahead. A prognostics framework is being developed to monitor the...

The Cutty Sark is undergoing major conservation to slow down the deterioration of the original Victorian fabric of the ship. The conservation work being carried out is "state of the art" but there is no evidence at present for predictions of the effectiveness of the conservation work 50 plus years ahead. A Prognostics Framework is being developed t...

The s.v.Cutty Sark is undergoing major conservation to slow down the deterioration of the original Victorian fabric of the ship. In association with this work, a Prognostics Framework is being developed to monitor the "health" of the ship's iron structures to help ensure a 50 year life once restoration is completed with only minor and acceptable de...
