Using the maximum likelihood method to estimate test complexity levels

Consideration was given to the problem of estimating the levels of complexity of the test tasks for the remote education system. It was assumed that the random responses of the subjects obey the logistic distribution and the levels of student readiness are not known in advance. An algorithm based on the methods of maximum likelihood and Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shanno was proposed to calculate the task complexity. Strict concavity of the logarithmic likelihood function was established, and an example was considered.

Towards a Good Education in Very Remote Australia: Is it Just a Case of Moving the Desks Around?

The education system, as it relates to very remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities in Australia, faces challenges. While considerable resources have been applied to very remote schools, results in terms of enrolments, attendance and learning outcomes have changed little, despite the effort applied. The Cooperative Research Centre for Remote Economic Participation (CRC-REP) in its Remote Education Systems (RES) project is trying to understand why this might be the case, and also attempting to identify local solutions to the ‘problem’ of very remote education. The RES project is in the process of building its research program across five remote sites in the Northern Territory, South Australia and Western Australia. As the project begins, the researchers involved have begun to consider what are the assumptions behind the ‘system’ in its current form(s). The article begins with an outline of the context of remote education in Australia within a rapidly changing global environment. However, the purpose of the article is to outline many of the assumptions built into remote education and to ask what the alternatives to these assumptions might be. The authors go on to ask questions about how a remote education system would approach some of the assumptions presented. The assumptions presented are based on a reading of the philosophical bases of education. The questions are designed to prompt a deeper discussion about how the values and worldviews of those living in very remote communities might be taken into consideration and acted upon.

Red Dirt Thinking on Education: A People-Based System

In Australia, the ‘remote education system’ presents itself as a simple system where the right inputs, such as quality teachers and leaders will engender the outputs that have been set by the system, such as certain levels of English literacy and numeracy. The system has measures in place, including national testing, to report on its success. For the most part, this system seems to be working quite well. However, this modelling breaks down when the education system of remote Australia is presented. This remote system is presented in much of the literature and in the press, as disadvantaged, under-resourced and underperforming. Reported results indicate that current activities are not bringing the desired outcomes. The so-called mainstream system makes adjustments using its model of input to output, but without success. There is a clear need for change. Just what this change might look like is the focus of this article. Theorising in this space is considered from two positions; the first being the published work of a number of Indigenous Australian educators and leaders writing in this space; the second, a consideration of western theorising using complex adaptive systems. Throughout the article, a metaphor of ‘red dirt thinking’ is applied as a mechanism to ground the thinking in the lives and lands of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples of remote Australia.

The Application of Web Mining in Distance Education Platform

Although the rapid development of the modern distance education, there is still some shortcomings. In order to overcome these shortcomings and use a large number of data in these remote teaching sites effectively, it is necessary for the introduction of data mining technology to the modern remote education system. The paper introduced distance education system based on Web mining, and how data mining of these distance education website.Modern distance education is the common trend of the development of education in the world. With the development and application of satellite and cable TV, as well as a variety of electronic communications technology, especially with the advancement of the global computer network and multimedia technology, many universities have established distance education platforms. Because of a large number of students, we are relative lack of educational resources nowadays. For this reason, our country is actively developing modern distance education and integrating the various types of educational resources by advanced information technology and educational technology.

Research on Key Technology in Remote Education System of Spirit Diagnosing by Eye in TCM

Spirit diagnosing is an important theory in TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine), by which a TCM doctor can diagnose a patient’s body state. But this theory is complicated and difficult to master simply learned from books. To further the theory and skill of spirit diagnosing, in this paper, the authors propose a remote education system that can accept videos from a user and give the user an auto-diagnosed spirit. The key technology in this system is eye feature computation in spirit diagnosing, for which rules describing “the spirit” (spirit in TCM refers to the human’s mental state which reflects the one’s general physical condition) state are mined by the quantitative features regarding the human eyes. With videos capturing eye condition during a short period, a set of eye features are extracted. On this basis, attribute intervals of the eye feature space is generated by CAIM (class-attribute interdependence maximization). Several of the candidate rules are then mined by the association rule based on the cloud model. Finally, three complementary rule-pruning methods are modified and combined to trim the candidate rules. The cross validation test for mined rules has an average accuracy of 93%, which shows the high performance of the proposed method.

Remote Patient Monitoring: A Human Factors Assessment

The Study Context Telehealth remote patient monitoring applications are being used increasingly in chronic disease management because patients are leaving the hospital after acute episodes still needing care. Monitoring applications may have several purposes, but two are typical: to provide continuing care to patients and to educate patients, enabling them to better manage their condition and avoid hospital readmission and costly visits to emergency rooms. Some of these applications are quite sophisticated from a clinical perspective; some are much simpler. Western Michigan University, in collaboration with a local visiting nurse agency, conducted a longitudinal randomized control trial of the Health Buddy (Bosch Healthcare)i remote telemonitoring and patient education system, via funding support from the Health Resources and Services Administration (Grant 1 D1B TH 0374401) from 2006 to 2008. Subjects were patients with heart failure (HF) or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who had just been discharged to homecare after hospitalization for an acute episode. Those patients who were eligible for the study, based on both diagnostic criteria and criteria for telehealth, were randomly assigned to receive standard homecare alone or standard homecare with a 60-day telehealth program specific to their illness (either an HF or COPD program). In all, a total of 19 patients participated in the telemonitoring group, and 27 in the control group. Subjects were followed for one year post-discharge and many clinical and non-clinical outcomes were assessed at various points in this one-year period. (See Table 1 for a list of outcome measures and assessment tools used in the study.) Not unlike many Remote Patient Monitoring: A Human Factors Assessment

Teaching Photonics Laboratory Using Remote-Control Web Technologies

This paper proposes a remote education system, Virtual Photonics Experiments Network (V-PEN), for teaching photonics experiments. In this approach, teaching and learning photonics become easier by the V-PEN. A design procedure for transforming real experiments to online experiments is also proposed, and a Michelson interference system as an example is employed to describe the procedures of the online experiments. This photonics experiment platform has been used for a semester. The survey of learners' feedback is also presented.

A Dynamic Web Educational Assessment System

Educational assessment is a mutual dynamic process for both teachers and students. Many assessments in universities usually are one-way and one-time pieces of work. At the end of the semester or teaching period, the student fills in a form, and gives his evaluation to the teacher based on some simple general choice. In such a way, the teachers lose their chances to improve their work during the teaching process. On the other hand, students also don’t have much chance to exchange their concern with teachers. This situation is getting worse in the remote teaching system. To solve the above problems, and to enhance the mutual understanding between teachers and students, a web based evaluation system was built for mutual and dynamic assessment. This system is a Java 2 based system running in Beijing Normal University at Zhuhai Campus now. A multi-layer fuzzy evaluation model is used to handle the assessment criteria group in different layers and from different evaluation groups. The users of the system are categorized into three groups: the teachers, the students and the manager. This system is a sub-system of the management system we developed for Beijing Normal University at Zhuhai Campus. After being used for one semester, most of the users showed their satisfaction to the system. In this paper, the structure of the assessment system is discussed. The fuzzy evaluation model is shown with an application example. The components used in the system are displayed. We hope this will give a helpful idea to change the traditional assessment process, and to contribute to the quality control of elearning.

Artery Model for Neurosurgery Simulator

We have developed the first prototype system of a neurosurgery simulator. It is developed for amedical training of cerebral aneurysms operation. This paper describes the artery model of the simulator. The system is equipped with a binocular microscope type of stereo view display, a foot pedal for its manipulation, and input devices as surgical tools such as spatula and clip. As for the procedure, operators first move arteries with a spatula in the left hand and take a cerebral aneurysm to a proper position. Then they pick up the aneurysm firmly with a clip in the right hand, and release the tip of the clip, which remains at the aneurysm position. In order to simulate the surgery in real-time, spring based model is adopted for an artery deformation and a simplified model is for surgical tools. Both models are approximated as line segments. As a result, the collision detection problem is dolved as intersection calculation of two line segments. The performance could reach to 37 Hz. The next target is a network-based remote education system with haptic device.

A low-cost internet-based telerobotic system for access to remote laboratories

This paper presents an account of the design of a low-cost Internet-based teleoperation system implemented on China's Internet. Using a multimedia-rich human-computer interface, combining predictive displays and graphical overlays, a series of simple tasks were performed within a simulated space environment scenario. Internet clients anywhere can monitor the robotic workspace, talk with technicians, and control the Arm/Hand integrated system with 15 DOF located in lab to perform tasks (such as grasping a vessel, pouring a liquid, and peg-in-hole assembling, etc.). Our main contributions are to establish a foundation for teleoperated science and engineering research, and we have addressed some issues involving the time-delay associated with the Internet. We also developed several key software adaptation technologies and products used for Internet-Based teleoperation, compatible with the BH-III dexterous hand, BH1 6-DOF mechanical arm and five-finger 11-DOF data glove, constructed in our laboratory. This system has been successfully tested and applied in remote robotic education (Virtual Laboratories) system via China's Internet using our Master/Slave architecture, which combines mixed modes of remote monitor/manipulate and local autonomous control.

The Role Multimedia of Multicasting in ManagingInteractive Distance Learning Systems

This paper discusses the important role of multicasting in designing, implementing, and managing interactive multimedia distance learning systems. This is achieved in the context of IRI, an Interactive Remote Instruction system for distance learning built at Old Dominion University. IRI is an Internet-based system which integrates continuous multimedia, shared applications and a variety of multi-user collaborative utilities. In this paper, we concentrate on the process architecture and dynamic multicast group handling as they pertain to managing multimedia resources, and show how they support robustness and short response time to user actions. IRI uses raw IP multicasting for audio and video streams and reliable multicasting for resource management and data sharing. The system is scalable (uses multicast for inter-process communication) and expandable(partitioned into a setof autonomousbutcooperating components).
