The use of virtual classrooms prevails after the COVID-19 pandemic due to their associated benefits such as increased accessibility and safety. While there are tangible benefits to online classrooms, there are significant drawbacks including a lack of ...

As the new crown epidemic has gradually become a normalized disease similar to the flu, people are paying more and more attention to remote work and learning. Companies such as meta have spotted the development of the remote social track, and ...

Monitoring students’ engagement and understanding their learning pace in a virtual classroom becomes challenging in the absence of direct eye contact between the students and the instructor. Continuous monitoring of eye gaze and gaze gestures may ...

The COVID-19 pandemic led the majority of educational institutions to rapidly shift to primarily conducting courses through online, remote delivery. Across different institutions, the tools used for synchronous online course delivery varied. They ...

The paper summarizes the experience gained so far from the training of doctoral students at the University of Ruse. An innovative web-based system, developed to support doctoral education, is presented. The system has been tested in real-world ...

In this article, we propose a distance learning platform, coupled with traditional pedagogical programs to students and teacher-researchers of the University of Bangui, in particular the Higher Institute of Rural Development (ISDR) of M'Baiki. This ...

This research studied the validation of emotions as a measure of selective attention in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and their typically developing (TD) peers. Seven basic emotions such as anger, sadness, disgust, joy, surprise, fear and ...

Repeated training of teaching skills for student teachers is difficult as many collaborators should be needed for rehearsal environment. Therefore, we are studying a teaching training system using virtual classroom which is constructed by virtual agents ...

In this paper, we propose the integration of audience atmosphere generation techniques into Interactive Storytelling (IS) engines to obtain more realistic and variable Virtual Reality (VR) training systems. We outline a number of advantages of this ...

Our aim is to develop a VR virtual classroom environment that can interact with virtual students through atmosphere. The trainee im- proves his / her class while confirming the change of atmosphere of the virtual students. For such a virtual environment ...

In this lightning-talk paper, we aim to invoke discussion on face-to-face (F2F) instruction versus online delivery of IT courses. As a case study, we experimented teaching a foundational course of information assurance in two consecutive years. We ...

Sensory impaired individuals are at a disadvantage in accessing and processing electronic information. The first author (i.e. Thomas Hahn) is legally blind due to Albinism. In this experience report we describe challenges faced by the visually impaired ...

The use of virtual classrooms by blind users is hindered e.g. By inaccessible user interfaces, graphical and dynamical content, as well as synchronous communication. Based on a requirements catalogue for accessible virtual classrooms and existing ...

A major issue faced by the education system in highly populated countries like India is the shortage of experienced and trained teachers and trainers. In order to alleviate this issue, we describe how the e-Learning tool AVIEW is being used for large-...

Most of the existing E-learning system designs have focused on the development of feature-rich, but usable systems with little effort in motivating students to develop interest in the teaching-learning process. This paper discusses the learner centered ...

The Cloud computing environment is rising as a natural platform to provide support to online systems. Therefore, there is a need to redefine and redesign the whole educational system which meets the current educational need in the light of cloud. The ...

Distance education (DE) today is mostly in broadcast mode, where classes are broadcast over networks for students to consume. While the instruction mode has remained close to the physical classroom metaphor, what is often lacking is the rich two way ...

Digital materials can help blind and visually impaired students to participate in e-learning and collaborative settings. The use of multimedia content enhances the learning experience of sighted students, but new barriers arise for the visually ...
