Computer simulation is a computer model that simulates a system. Simulations are useful for modeling natural and human systems. Simulations provide hands-on experiments for topics normally inaccessible to students. This allows students to observe, manipulate, and investigate phenomena. Simulations can increase content knowledge and provide models for skill learning. They began developing in the 1960s and have progressed through development, commercialization, and adoption in education. Simulations are designed to teach both standard content and 21st century skills. Students learn best through hands-on experiments using simulations.
The purpose of this paper is to design reference architecture for intelligent personal
learning environments (PLE). This research effort is a result of a multi-stage approach.
First, semi-structured interviews have been conducted with software development
practitioners working in a large technology and communications services provider
company. Interview content has been evaluated using thematic analysis. Second,
reference architecture for intelligent personal learning environments has been designed
and validated using the Software Architecture Analysis Method (SAAM). During SAAM
evaluation, the output of the first phase and previous Personal Learning Environment
literature reviews has been used. As a result, we demonstrated a novel architecture for
personal learning environments. Proposed personal learning architecture has met the
requirements of industry demands and previous literature.

An Efficient Methodology To Develop A Secured E-Learning System Using Cloud C...IJMERJOURNAL
ABSTRACT: Now-a-days, each and every action involved in our life becomes computerized in order to reduce the time, complexity and manual power. The education systems are also being computerized, to train the students in a much efficient way. This system is termed as E-Learning. E-Learning is an Internet-based learning process, in which the Internet technology is used to design, implement, manage and extend learning, which will improve the efficiency of learning. Learning, Teaching and Training are intensely connected components, which are all included in the development of E-Learning system. Cloud Computing provides an efficient platform to support the E-Learning systems, as it can be dramatically changes over time .In this paper, an overview on the new emerging E-Learning system , utilization of the SAAS (Software as a Service) and the methodology to test the efficiency of the person in a secured way are described.

Adoption of MDE technologies (and techniques) could be dis- cussed within the context of existing technology acceptance models (TAMs). For instance, Davis’ basic TAM model [4] emphasizes (perceived) usefulness and ease of use. While these factors are clearly relevant, we aim at a more refined view by paying special attention to how MDE, at this stage, is driven by research and university teaching. That is, we describe the challenge of improving chances of MDE adoption (i.e., improved ‘adoptability’) in terms of maturing three legs of an ‘adoption chair’: i) reproducibility of research re- sults; ii) reusability of essential technologies; iii) teachability of the underlying techniques.
This presentation is focused on the learner. Each day we face a classroom of diversity and it is our job as educators to find ways to educate our youth in order to prepare them for the future. Universal Design for Learning is the key to the success of our students.

Adaptarse a las nuevas formas de crear y compartir contenidos digitales constituye un reto para la preparación de profesionales en los perfiles emergentes de disciplinas ajenas a la informática y la computación. Los lenguajes y las herramientas de creación digital no están muchas veces pensados para su utilización por parte de usuarios de estos campos. Un reto en el campo de la computación creativa es la posibilidad de incorporar capacidades interactivas multimodales, junto con realidad virtual y realidad aumentada, en las herramientas de autoría con las que se elaboran los materiales y diseños de aprendizaje. El objetivo general de la charla es motivar la investigación sobre la computación creativa, así como mostrar desarrollos diversos alrededor de un marco de trabajo que aspira a fomentar las habilidades de diseño, creación y despliegue de experiencias educativas con capacidades analíticas para el aprendizaje y la evaluación en un contexto multidisciplinar.
A vast majority of students in computing and related disciplines expect to interact with their systems and computing devices using a graphical user interface. Any other means of interacting with a device is deemed unseemly and is quickly met with frustration and rejection. This can partly be attributed to the fact that most operating systems and the tools that run on these platforms offer a rich “point-and-click” interface in an effort to make their systems user friendly. However, in contrast, when it comes to the study of system and cyber security, a mastery over the console and the command-line interface is imperative. In our experience in teaching most courses on system and cyber security, students seem to have the greatest difficulty in using the console/command-prompt/shell. This issue is further exacerbated since many security and related open source forensics tools are designed to run in a Unix-based environment, typically a shell, and even fewer students are familiar with the UNIX environment and find the entire experience all the more daunting. Even the simple command-prompt, ubiquitous on all Microsoft Windows operating systems, is met with significant disdain by today's students, both at the graduate and undergraduate levels. There are several solutions that have been proposed and designed to alleviate this exact issue in the field of computer programming. Video tool, Dragon Drop Pictorial Programming, Alice and Jpie are various stand-alone tools introduced to ease the inherent challenges in learning a new programming language and environment. To alleviate this situation, in this paper, we propose the first tool of its kind, to the best of our knowledge, which aims to tutor a console application using a graphical interface and adapts to the students' progress. The ultimate aim is to eliminate students' dependence on graphical interfaces and convert her to a power user of a system. Our tool, called Interactive Bash Shell Adaptive Tutoring System (iBaTs), enables students to familiarize themselves with the UNIX environment and the Bash Shell on a Windows operating system. In this work, we discuss the architecture of our tutoring program and demonstrate that our system sports several innovative pedagogical features that makes it a unique, fun, encouraging and adaptive learning environment. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first such effort that aims to address this issue.

Abstract:
“Health Informatics”. “Urban Informatics”. “Social Informatics”. Informatics offers systemic ways of analyzing and designing the interaction of natural and artificial information processing systems. In the context of education, I will describe some Learning Informatics lenses and practices which we have developed for co-designing analytics and AI with educators and students. We have a particular focus on closing the feedback loop to equip learners with competencies to navigate a complex, uncertain future, such as critical thinking, professional reflection and teamwork. En route, we will touch on how we build educators’ trust in novel tools, our design philosophy of “embracing imperfection” in machine intelligence, and the ways that these infrastructures embody values. Speaking from the perspective of leading an institutional innovation centre in learning analytics, I hope that our experiences spark productive reflection around as the UMN Learning Informatics Lab builds its program.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
