School timetabling for quality student and teacher schedules

The school timetabling problem, although less complicated than its counterpart for the university, still provides a ground for interesting and innovative approaches that promise solutions of high quality. In this work, a Shift Assignment Problem is solved first and work shifts are assigned to teachers. In the sequel, the actual Timetabling Problem is solved while the optimal shift assignments that resulted from the previous problem help in defining the values for the cost coefficients in the objective function. Both problems are modelled using Integer Programming and by this combined approach we succeed in modelling all operational and practical rules that the Hellenic secondary educational system imposes. The resulting timetables are conflict free, complete, fully compact and well balanced for the students. They also handle simultaneous, collaborative and parallel teaching as well as blocks of consecutive lectures for certain courses. In addition, they are highly compact for the teachers, satisfy the teachers’ preferences at a high degree, and assign core courses towards the beginning of each day. Dr. Birbas is currently the Director for Primary and Secondary Education in the Region of Western Greece.     

Collaborative virtual learning environments: design and evaluation

E-learning systems have gone through a radical change from the initial text-based environments to more stimulating multimedia systems. Such systems are Collaborative Virtual Environments, which could be used in order to support collaborative e-learning scenarios. The main aim of this paper is to aid educational designers in selecting, designing and evaluating three dimensional collaborative virtual environments in order to gain the pedagogical benefits of Computer Supported Collaborative Learning. Therefore, this paper initially discusses the potential of three dimensional networked virtual environments for supporting collaborative learning. Furthermore, based on a two-step platform selection process this paper (a) presents and compares three dimensional multi-user virtual environments for supporting collaborative learning and (b) validates the most promising solution against a set of design principles for educational virtual environments. According to these principles, an educational environment has been implemented on top of the selected platform in order to support collaborative e-learning scenarios. The design of this environment is also presented. In addition, this paper presents the results of three small scale studies carried out in a tertiary education department, to assess the educational environment. This environment has been evaluated based on a hybrid evaluation methodology for uncovering usability problems, collecting further requirements for additional functionality to support collaborative virtual learning environments, and determining the appropriateness of different kinds of learning scenarios.

Empirical evaluation of an educational game on software measurement

Software measurement is considered important in improving the software process. However, teaching software measurement remains a challenging issue. Although, games and simulations are regarded powerful tools for learning, their learning effectiveness is not rigorously established. This paper describes the results of an explorative study to investigate the learning effectiveness of a game prototype on software measurement in order to make an initial judgment about its potential as an educational tool as well as to analyze its appropriateness, engagement and strengths & weaknesses as guidance for further evolution. Within the study, a series of experiments was conducted in parallel in three master courses in Brazil. Results of the study reveal that the participants consider the content and structure of the game appropriate, but no indication for a significant difference on learning effectiveness could be shown.
