Since 2011, we have been educating mentor teachers at Obuda University Trefort Agoston Centre for Engineering Education - OU TACEE. Mentor teachers can support the preparation process of our engineering teacher students in secondary vocational schools by coaching their teaching practice. I was responsible for teaching four subjects in last two semesters. We are well prepared in teaching with Virtual Learning Environments and we have ample in preparing electronic courses. We use Moodle, as Learning Management System which supports the access to electronic materials and presentations. In the first semester I gave examples on how to create good presentations. I recognized that data collection and processing was really important for our Mentor teachers in their work and decision making processes. Therefore, I involved them in creating good presentations, and taught them how to collect data with these technologies, process and transfer them to the audience according to the established idea.

In the area of programming assignment assessment the majority of works are focused on control and evaluation of the final submissions. We present an evaluation process and a system, which we are currently working on, for tracking students' behavior during the whole semester. The system stores increments in a source code and presents characteristics from gathered data in a graphical form. Spotted characteristics are: commit and code activity, workload, aggregated frequencies of code additions for the whole group of students, etc. The tool implementation is based on a free repository management system Gitlab.

Summary form only given. The Networking Academy initiative by Cisco is the worldwide de-facto standard for training in networking knowledge and skills on a basic-to-intermediary level of difficulty. As a Corporate Social Responsibility program, the Networking Academy courses are well-rounded in delivering applied knowledge and skills. For a higher level education, however, more principial and fundamental knowledge and approaches are often called for. We propose a series of suggestions that enhance the Networking Academy experience and enrich it with approaches common in a university environment. The common denominator of these suggestions is the boldness to know more and to go deep into the knowledge, thereby intriguing engaged and knowledgeable students, allowing them to truly embrace the essence of networking topics.

E-learning is increasingly being utilized outside higher and university education and its traditional market. One of such places is the education of the elderly using emerging technologies in effective and conducive ways. Moreover, the development of effective ICT solutions to improve daily life of elderly and disabled people gets more significant concern during last several years. Exploitation of low cost IT equipment in combination with suitable e-health, e-learning or social services can contribute to reduction of time, costs and other expenditures not only for recipients but for providers too. These objectives motivate a formation of SPES project (Support Patients through E-Services Solutions1) that aims to design and implement an integrated software platform with health, social and entertainment services for different purposes. The implementation of this project leads to the exchange of knowledge between IT professional, researchers from universities, representatives of government on the different levels and providers of social or medical services. The usability and effectiveness of proposed solution will be evaluated within four pilots in European cities: Ferrara, Vienna, Brno and Kosice.

The paper presents principles and an architecture of multi-agent system where software agents could migrate across distributed environments, interact with local resources and other software agents, and communicate with the users. Local resources are abstracted as agent to and the agents are also used to control and manage the operations within the architecture. There are two concepts of agent communication defined: session-oriented communication concept and anonymous communication concept.

Effective learning of complex dynamic systems, their analysis and synthesis are unthinkable without use of simulation tools. For repetitive, comfortable and friendly use it is advantageous to use graphic user interface (GUI) enabling easy evaluation of system behavior: visualization of phenomena, model performance, changes of parameters, input and output signals. Development of GUI is enough bothersome and there were searched ways to satisfy requirements to overcome these difficulties. MATLAB presents GUI a comfortable tool for development of virtual models. In the paper, we share methodology, procedures and our experiences at design and utilization of virtual models for dynamic systems developed in the MATLAB GUI environment.

The information society is currently represented by the knowledge economy. In such an advanced society would no longer be merely reflect scientific and technical progress and application of ICT as a teaching and resources in teaching, but also rationality, time flexibility and ease of working students in control of these resources. The main goal of this paper is to demonstrate the results of the research, which was carried out at the primary schools in Slovakia. The goal was to design a methodology of teaching technical subjects in elementary school in order to develop a digital literacy at the primary schools.

This paper introduces the SLAmeter network metering tool, which constitutes an alternative solution to the network traffic monitoring tools based on the IPFIX protocol. The main purpose of the SLAmeter is to offer a reliable possibility to track and fulfill the conditions specified in the Service Level Agreement subscribed between the subscriber and provider. SLAmeter was designed with the extension of the BasicMeter tool and consists of several components on different layers.

When learners access web-based educational systems, they often take advantage of what current web browsers offer: multiple tabs with different pages. Whether they are solving an exercise or learning a whole new topic, they can concurrently browse other relevant objects in the educational system or even resources outside the system, on the “wild” Web. This behavior goes unnoticed or it is only estimated in the traditional web usage mining, where it is supposed that the user opens only one page at a time. However, if we could record the parallel browsing behavior, we could better understand the user's activity, goals and improve learner model employed for personalization. The paths through resources (including spawning new tabs and switching between them) of many learners also express relevance between these resources and this can be leveraged in applications such as recommendation to other learners browsing similar learning objects. In this paper, we introduce a model for parallel browsing behavior based on events tracked with client-side scripting. We realized the proposed model in the ALEF educational system, which we use in several courses and evaluate learner behavior in the system.
