Interactive simulations and virtual environments can play a significant role in facilitating learning through engagement, immediate feedback and by providing real-world contexts. Interactive 3D interfaces have a significant impact on the user interface usability and interactivity. We present several case-studies that have evolved from actual teaching observations and have been implemented using undergraduate and graduate student research teams. The development of such simulators poses multidisciplinary research challenges and has the advantage of bringing together a diverse group of people with complementary expertise. We present case studies covering engineering, medical sciences, physics and chemistry.

The purpose of this paper is to present the application of distribute mutual exclusion for controlling the text message exchange in a ubiquitous chat named M-SynchroTalk. This chat allows tutors and students to be in contact even on the move. The main issue is to organize the entire communication when several students speak at the same time and about many subjects. All in all, the chat hold the dialog context controlling the message broadcast by means of the distributed mutual exclusion algorithms. In this context, just one student could send a message at a time. To achieve mutual exclusion in the ubiquitous chat, the centralized and the token ring algorithms have been developed. The centralized algorithm was implemented in two versions: human coordinator and computer coordinator. Preliminary results show that this solution provides a well-controlled environment suitable for M-Learning environments.

This paper presents two novel nearest-neighbor-like classification algorithms for program recommendation in a Web-based system, which provides a program planning service to academic advisors and students of post-secondary institutions. To evaluate the accuracy of classification for program recommendations generated by our algorithm, a statistical study was conducted through comparing our algorithm against two well-known classification algorithms, the Naïve Bayes algorithm and the J48 algorithm, for making recommendations to students based on their academic history. The study shows that our proposed nearest-neighbor-like algorithms outperform the two well-known classification algorithms in terms of student classification success rate when there is uncertainty present in the data.

We developed an interactive patient learning system for use on mobile phones to inform an asthma patient about this chronic condition and enforce knowledge retention by questioning the user. The system uses a mobile phone's internet connection to retrieve information from a database and download recorded audio files corresponding to asthma information screens. The mobile application was successfully developed, implemented, and tested on the Motorola i730 mobile phone with Nextel as a service provider. The application can be utilized as a universal mobile eLearning platform for interactive patient education.

In this paper, we consider the situated and collaborative learning domain, where students (as members of groups) go around the city and collaborate to learn. They are dependent on each other and need to collaborate to accomplish tasks. A treasure hunt game has been developed as a case study to help analyzing the domain and designing generic and flexible platform support for situate collaborative learning. The resulting platform seeks to support the domain as directly as possible by using agents to represent domain entities and providing services as collaboration among roles played by agents. The paper identifies stable and variable parts and explains how the necessary flexibility can be provided.

The advancement of technology along with expanding expectations of students, faculty, employers and society at large presents a growing challenge throughout higher education as institutions strive to enhance learning environment. Recently, many institutions around the world are using laptops in learning. The ZU laptop initiatives aimed to improve the quality of education by providing anytime, anywhere learning environment that helps students to be active and independent learners, using laptops as potable libraries, laboratories, and communication ports, extending their educational reach well beyond classroom walls, and providing 24 hour student access to learning resources. This paper presents a discussion and findings from a case-study conducted at the College of Information Technology of Zayed University. Results show studying in a laptop learning environment helped students be more confident in expressing their ideas, develop their communication skills, and most importantly be independent learner.

CollabEd is a platform for easily collaboratizing linear editing systems. We will describe our modular design, which is geared toward building CollabEd plugins for existing editors and eliminating the need for developers to provide or understand the networking and data consistency controls required for real-time, synchronous collaborative editing. In this paper we showcase our open-source CollabEd application already ported for use with a number of popular programming editors (Eclipse, NetBeans, jEdit, etc.) and a drawing program (DrawSWF). The CollabEd platform is built on top of our optimistic replication data-model (MSET) that preserves local-site editing response time without the use of operational transformation. One of the features we will highlight is the ability to save collaboration sessions for later playback with user-specific editing statistics.
