The purpose of this paper was to measure the impact of computer simulations and blended learning on university students. The pedagogical experiments we made lasted for 8 weeks with randomly selected 225 students of the 1st year and 93 students of the second year at the bachelor's degree at the university. Especially nowadays are computer simulations and also distance learning methods broadly widened and they are supporting the learning process in an important way. Without these tools and methods could be the learning process more difficult and maybe not possible because of closed schools. But it's different to compare the theoretical and practical knowledge of students and understanding of them and applications in practice. This paper points to possibilities of how to improve the quality of cognitive abilities by students especially in the way of understanding the curriculum and consolidation of knowledge by Niemierko's taxonomy of learning objects. Our experiment results also demonstrate a good positive impact of the proposed learning methodology focused on the usability of computer simulations with good multimedia textbooks partly integrated into the electronic course by LMS Moodle in improving understanding of the curriculum and consolidation of knowledge.

The article aims to present modern approaches in the teaching of programming subjects, to evaluate how students perceive them and to assess whether the given methods objectively improve the level of knowledge acquired by students. This research was carried out within the exercises of the subject Operating Systems taught in the bachelor's study of the Department of computers and informatics at the Technical University in Košice, The article will present not only the current way of teaching the subject, but also the development of teaching methodology, which led to the creation of current approaches. For four years, students' satisfaction with the way they were taught was detected through polls, based on which the teaching was constantly modified. The purpose of this article is to verify whether the satisfaction of students was reflected in their study results and achieved better grades than students in the past, whose opinion was not taken into account in teaching.

The article responds to the new PocketLab initiative, which under the motto “Join educators worldwide in bringing hands on science to the classroom” promotes vocational education, in which the student is not only an experimenter, but also the creator of the analysed technical device. It shows that the basic idea of this approach, in which the active participation of the student in the construction of the device is also a guarantee of his deeper relationship to the solved problems, is far from new. In recent decades, however, the overall framework of its application has changed significantly, which has made it possible to use its positives even in the current pandemic period, which severely limits the possibilities of cooperation between the student and his mentor (mentors) in university labs.

Education is an important area of development and electronics. There are several systems that are used to manage school processes. However, each system covers only a certain part of school processes. Within my diploma thesis, I worked on development of complex information system, that covers all processes in the school facility. These processes include leisure activity management, canteen and management of educational system, which consists of electronic grade book, class register, attendance, excuses, timetable, substitution, evidence of employees, subjects and subject plans.

In Reliability analysis, there are four main steps to perform. These steps are selection of the mathematical model that represents system states, selection of the mathematical representation that represents the operation of the system, quantitative and qualitative reliability analysis and to conclude the obtained results. In Faculty of Management Science and Informatics, there is a course called Reliability engineering in which reliability analysis is taught. During the course, the students are taught about the basic of the reliability engineering and reliability analysis. During this process, there are various topics that can be more challenging for a student, such as computation of the Importance measures. Thanks to this, we developed a software tool for such computation and this tool is also usable for the research activities in our faculty. By implementing this software tool in the teaching process in subject of the reliability engineering the students can better understand, how these measures can be computed and how can they be used for localizing weak spots in the system. Results from this tool can be then used in term projects and assignments by students of in research activities that uses these measures in reliability analysis.

SD-WAN is currently considered as a technology that has the potential to revolutionize the use of WAN services. It supports a new concept known as Application-driven networking, where the network is expected to meet the needs of applications, services and customers. In short, SD-WAN is a centralized management of WAN networks, usually with a close connection to Cloud computing and security. This way, customers can easily manage their networks regardless of the connectivity provider. SD-WAN is currently one of the most current topics with a real impact on CC services and WAN environments. SD-WAN influences thinking about how we have used network services so far. More importantly, it has great potential to change the way we use communication services in the future. There are several industries that are interesting in terms of SD-WAN deployment. Based on our analyzes, we can include the education sector among them.

BBC micro:bit is becoming more and more spread in Slovakia last years. As it is spreading around the world, extensions allow to be more creative. One of extensions for BBC micro: bit is wearables. Wearable technologies in general can be smartwatches, fitness trackers, VR. As a BBC micro:bit extension it means to make wearable technologies from the very beginning. It is an opportunity for pupils to understand how things work in our everyday life. The article deals with BBC micro: bit and its extension, wearables, to create projects such as plushie toy, headband and postcard.

This paper deals with a qualitative study on the implementation of the robotic teaching aid Ozobot in Czech schools. The authors focus their attention on the reasons for choosing this tool, the ways of use, the problems that teachers have to solve and the benefits that Ozobot brings to students in the educational process. The research involved nine teachers with different lengths of practice and teachers of different subjects. Data were collected through interviews and subsequent transcriptional analysis. According to all respondents in this study, students with the use of Ozobots are enthusiastic and highly motivated. Pupils learn essential skills and knowledge either in algorithmization, programming and working with robots or in other science subjects. The implementation of Ozobots in the educational process combines effective teaching with the enthusiasm and motivation of students, which is an ideal state in any educational endeavour.

The paper deals with the problematics of the volume datasets representation using pointerless sparse voxel octrees hierarchical data structure. While this data structure, and derived hierarchical data structures based on the use of directed acyclic graphs, are popular in representation of the geometry of the three-dimensional scenes, their efficiency in the representation of other properties of voxels, e.g. color, is lower, due to the lower success in the lossless compression of the data. One of the solutions is to decompose volume dataset that comprises multi-bit values of its voxels, into bit planes and to use classical approach of their encoding to the sparse voxel hierarchical data structures. The paper evaluates this approach along with the different encoding schemes of pointerless sparse voxel octrees in case of multi-bit volume datasets that were obtained by non-invasive medical imaging techniques, including Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Five encoding schemes were leveraged in the paper and using test results, their lossless compression capabilities were evaluated.
