Item type:Publication, Educational Project Management and Resource Provisioning System – Project-Based Learning on a Scale(Association for the Advancement of Computing in Education (AACE), Waynesville, NC, 2021-07-06)Enabling students to work on realistic projects is important as they open the possibility to handle real problems and scenarios that can not be found inside the classroom and laboratory setting. Project-based courses simulate the reality of the business work place, with all the activities, interactions and tools. One of the implications is that students will also need a complex of tools and resources, to use in their everyday work. Allowing the students to self-organize on which tools to use and how, may be feasible for some courses, but may not be suitable for courses where student’s need to follow a process and will not be feasible in large courses, as the teacher will have to access and monitor activities across hundreds, if not thousands, tools and different organization schemes. On the other hand, creation of many identical organizational templates and schemes for students to use in many different tools can be bothersome, repetitive and over-burdening for many teachers. This paper presents the development and introduction of a specialized system that will sit in the middle of many needed tools, and will enable management of the integration of such tools to student project phases and activities, coordination of resource provisioning for students and integral monitoring of the project work across all projects in a course. The system is available as a FLOSS (free/libre open-source software) for the benefit of the wider academic community. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, EXPERIENCE REPORT FROM ONLINE AND HYBRID TEACHING OF A PROJECT-ORIENTED DATABASES COURSE USING AN ADAPTIVE ITERATIVE PROCESS OF FORMATIVE AND SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT(IATED, 2023)As a proponent of the learning by doing approach, the author organizes the Databases course for Computer-Science and Software Engineering students in a project-oriented manner. The students are divided in small teams of 2-3 persons, working on separate database projects. Each team is free to self-organize and decide on the topic of their project - usually it is the development of a database design and a web or desktop application that uses the designed database. The projects are developed in several phases. Mandatory phases consist of: team and project inception, entity-relationship design, transformation to a relational schema, use-case design and database implementation with SQL queries, early prototype application development. Optional phases include: database reorganization and normalization and full-stack application development. The projects are assessed as teams, phase by phase. On the other hand the course also includes personalized assessment of each student's knowledge, via a practical test and a theoretical test. The practical test, assesses student ability to use SQL in a real database, while the theoretical tests assesses student knowledge across the typical topics of the databases course material in a theoretical and applied manner. In the past, all groups worked on a fixed schedule, where each project phase lasted for 2-3 weeks and the project ended with the semester and tests were organized in three fixed exam sessions. Since the COVID-19 epidemic, the course turned entirely online or hybrid (depending on the current health situation), and the fix schedule had to be abandoned, to accommodate the public health crisis and the situation of each student, in favor of a completely adaptive and iterative schedule of project work and assessment. The course material is divided in several groups of topics, and each student can pass the respective course materials in their own pace and in a coordinated way to how they pass through each project phase as a group. Tests are organized as often as needed (a sufficiently large group of interested students has asked for a test) and each student is tested on parts of the material they are ready for, and when they are ready for it. This is only possible since two systems were introduced in the course - a project-organization and resource provisioning system and a testing database and semi-automated assessment system. The testing system is in production since 2019 and the resource provisioning system since 2021. Internal self-evaluation indicates quite positive experience and satisfaction by the students from the organization of the course, the intensity of communication with the teacher, the project component, what they have learned and even stronger satisfaction with the use of the special practice and testing system. This paper describes in detail the course organization and system use, and reports on the experience and evaluation of the use. Both introduced systems are published as open-sourced and members of the community are invited for future collaboration. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, dbLearn*: Open-Source System and a Set of Practices for Conducting Iterative Exercises and Exams in a Databases Course(ACM, 2021-10-06)The author's approach in teaching databases, focuses on acquiring competences needed to use and develop systems of realistic complexity, typical for a micro or small company. Each student works towards gaining experience with various database designs and implementations, querying and development of relational schemas, and building applications. An open-source system is introduced, intended to help teachers organize such courses at a scale, and effectively guide the students in an iterative process of acquiring competencies, at the level of smaller groups or even individuals. The main goal of the system is speed-up of administrative tasks at all levels. The system implements the core process of organizing exams in a partial and piece-wise manner, and implements sets of tools and practices for semi-automated assessment processes. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Analysis of User Satisfaction with the organization of Content(Institute of Informatics, Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje, Macedonia, 2008)This article gives an analysis how users click-streams in a web directory represented as a general categorization tree can be assessed in order to make deductions on the goals the user had when browsing and the choices the user made while trying to get to the needed information. The click-stream analysis is then used to propose an algorithm for restructuring of the categorization tree in order to optimize the structure for better navigation and easier finding of content. Based on several real-world metaphors of roaming in spaces and choosing paths, the algorithm that was based on a single user behaviour, is scaled to a general case. Finally, the articles discusses how the access logs of a web site can be used to gather info on usage patterns of the organization structure itself and how it can be improved with the help of the restructuring algorithm and the assessment of several criteria named together - user satisfaction with the organization of content. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Towards a virtual academic adviser(2011)One of the major administrative processes at the Institute of Informatics – the term enrollment, starts few weeks before the start of each following term and ends a week after the start of the courses. The students have to submit an enrollment application for the academic term with a selection of courses which then has to be approved by the academic adviser. The latest changes of the legislation allow that only 50- 60% of the courses for each program can be mandatory, whereas the rest of the courses can be chosen from other programs in the same institution or even from any program active at the university. The role of the academic adviser is to help the students with their choices and prevent them of making costly mistakes that could prolong their studying. The approval process is already done on-line [1], and the proposal is to introduce a virtual academic adviser component that will further ease this process by helping the majority of students, leaving only the truly problematic to be dealt off-line. The virtual adviser is a component that presents a visual map of all of the previously enrolled terms and the courses selections in each term to a student. It gives the student measures of his success in comparison to other students. The student can see his speed in acquiring and passing credits and compare it with the average of his generation. Further, the future academic terms of the student are mapped according to his average speed and his graduation date is forecasted. The component will enable the student to perform what-if scenarios and change his load, change plan/program, rearrange courses in order to come up with the best plan until graduation. This component will also enable future addition of intelligent recommendation system modules that may evaluate the capability of each student and his academic performance parameters, compare them to a historical database and suggest an optimally achievable adapted study plan to the student that may lead him to faster completion and/or higher GPA.
