Guest editorial: open educational resources in engineering education / E. Tovar in IEEE transactions on education, Vol. 57 N° 4 (Novembre 2014) 

Public ISBD [article]  in IEEE transactions on education > Vol. 57 N° 4 (Novembre 2014) . - pp. 213 - 219 Titre : Guest editorial: open educational resources in engineering education : various perspectives opening the education of engineers Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : E. Tovar, Auteur ; N. Piedra, Auteur Année de publication : 2015 Article en page(s) : pp. 213 - 219 Note générale : Education Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Linked  data  Open  educational  resources  Open  learning  Reusability  semantic  web Résumé : Open Educational Resources (OER) provide a strategic opportunity to improve the quality of education as well as facilitate policy dialog, knowledge sharing, and capacity building. One of the fundamental concepts of OER is “the ability to freely adapt and reuse existing pieces of knowledge.” Reuse of educational resources by both individuals and organizations may have significant creative and economic benefit for the educational environment. This Special Issue editorial introduces six interesting experiences, representative of the use of OER in engineering education in important areas such as the production of open content at various scales, reuse of contents, institutional open Web site initiatives, and technological applications to support the exploitation of OER, all at different degrees of maturity. Since some readers will be unfamiliar with prior work on OER, this Special Issue also outlines the hot topics in OER and the critical factors for success when joining the Open Educational Movement. Finally, the editorial provides a set of recommendations and examples offered by the Special Issue editors from their over 6 years of experience leading a research group in semantic Web technologies applied to Open Education. A key requirement, in their opinion, is to improve the metadata interoperability between various collections of open material, so as to facilitate the discoverability and subsequent combining, remixing, or adapting OER; that is, OER data should be easily accessible to any user.

Improving aerospace engineering students' achievements by an open aero control experiment apparatus / Zeng, Qinghua in IEEE transactions on education, Vol. 57 N° 4 (Novembre 2014) 

Public ISBD [article]  in IEEE transactions on education > Vol. 57 N° 4 (Novembre 2014) . - pp. 229 - 234 Titre : Improving aerospace engineering students' achievements by an open aero control experiment apparatus Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Zeng, Qinghua, Auteur ; Zhang Weihua, Auteur ; Huang Zhezhi, Auteur Année de publication : 2015 Article en page(s) : pp. 229 - 234 Note générale : Education Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Aerospace  control  Experiment  resources  Navigation  and  control  Unmanned  aerial  vehicle  (UAV) Résumé : This paper describes the development of an aero control experiment apparatus (ACEA) for use in aerospace control practical courses. The ACEA incorporates a systematic multihierarchy learning and teaching method, and was designed to improve aerospace engineering students' understanding of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) control systems. It offers a number of standard experimental modules at three levels: component, system, and simulation and evaluation. The software and hardware design methods used in the modules were chosen to allow students to conduct experiments in a simple, more hands-on manner. As a result, they were able to select or reconfigure their experiments and so continuously improve their skills and extend the ACEA itself. The practical curriculum modules-grouped in three skill levels of basic experiments, case study, and independent design-were applied in a 3-year M.Sc. course, UAV Control Systems. The marking criteria created to evaluate students' achievements are presented, along with some results of this evaluation.

The VLAB OER experience / Raghu Raman in IEEE transactions on education, Vol. 57 N° 4 (Novembre 2014) 

Public ISBD [article]  in IEEE transactions on education > Vol. 57 N° 4 (Novembre 2014) . - pp. 235 - 241 Titre : The VLAB OER experience : modeling potential-adopter student acceptance Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Raghu Raman, Auteur ; Krishnashree Achuthan, Auteur ; Prema Nedungadi, Auteur Année de publication : 2015 Article en page(s) : pp. 235 - 241 Note générale : Education Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Experiments  Open  educational  resources  (OER)  Simulation  Tablets  Virtual  lab Résumé : Virtual Labs (VLAB) is a multi-institutional Open Educational Resources (OER) initiative, exclusively focused on lab experiments for engineering education. This project envisages building a large OER repository, containing over 1650 virtual experiments mapped to the engineering curriculum. The introduction of VLAB is a paradigm shift in an educational system that is slow to change. Treating VLAB OER as an educational technology innovation, its adoption by potential-adopter engineering students (N=131) is modeled based on Roger's theory of perceived attributes. Regression and factor analysis were used to analyze the data. Results indicate that the attributes of Compatibility, Ease of Use, Relative Advantage, and Trialability significantly influence potential-adopter students' intention to adopt an innovation like VLAB. The study also observed that using OER (such as VLAB) on desktops and low-cost tablets had similar effects in student performance to using physical labs. This has interesting implications for education policy-makers who are looking to reduce the digital divide.

OER approach for specific student groups in hardware-based courses / Nevena Ackovska in IEEE transactions on education, Vol. 57 N° 4 (Novembre 2014) 

Public ISBD [article]  in IEEE transactions on education > Vol. 57 N° 4 (Novembre 2014) . - pp. 242 - 247 Titre : OER approach for specific student groups in hardware-based courses Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Nevena Ackovska, Auteur ; Sasko Ristov, Auteur Année de publication : 2015 Article en page(s) : pp. 242 - 247 Note générale : Education Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Education  Microcontrollers  Open  educational  resources  Teaching Résumé : Hardware-based courses in computer science studies require much effort from both students and teachers. The most important part of students' learning is attending in person and actively working on laboratory exercises on hardware equipment. This paper deals with a specific group of students, those who are marginalized by not being able to regularly attend lessons and perform the laboratory exercises. This group of “busy students” includes older students, and those who travel, are employed or are parents. In particular it describes how such students achieved impressive results in a hardware-based course by using Open Educational Resources (OER). These facilitated students' learning process and gave busy students the opportunity to organize their learning time so as to work on the hardware courses remotely from home when they had time and opportunity. The results of the evaluation show significant improvements, both in grade distribution and course throughput, after implementing the new Open Educational Resources approach.

As the largest public distance education university in Spain, Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia (UNED) has had a clear commitment to open learning and content since its very beginnings. Its open courseware (OCW) portal was started in 2006 and has received several prizes for its innovative content. During this period, the OCW materials were used to supplement standard teaching in a variety of educational applications, among them induction and competence transfer courses. These initiatives have been used as a starting point for a comprehensive open educational resource (OER) policy at UNED. Efforts to foster OER initiatives are collected in the project called UNED Abierta (Open UNED). UNED currently publishes its open resources in various platforms and formats, such as iTunes U, MOOC, and OpenCourseWare. This paper presents UNED's experience in OER and describes how it is tackling the new challenges in OER creation and distribution.

The goal of the recommendation strategy is to provide support for personalized access to the resources that exist in open educational repositories. The strategy uses: 1) a description of the resources based on metadata standards enriched by ontology-based semantic indexing, and 2) contextual information about the user (her knowledge of that particular field of learning). The results of an experimental analysis of the strategy's performance are presented. These demonstrate that the proposed strategy offers a high level of personalization and can be adapted to the user. An application of the strategy to a repository of computer science open educational resources was well received by both educators and students and had promising effects on the student performance and dropout rates.
