lecturer. Technical Cybernetics was the principal
branch of his first research. Karel Perutka was the
editor of the book about MATLAB in English, the
author of one monograph about MATLAB, several
book chapters about MATLAB and control theory,
and author or co-author of more than 80 papers in
the conference proceedings. He is a member of
the organizing and reviewing committees of several
conferences. He lead more than 100 Bachelor and
Master Theses.

7. Karel Perutka is teaching MATLAB
programming, electronics, microelectronics,
diagnosis of digital systems and modulations
and demodulations of signals. He is the most
popular teacher of curriculum IT for
administrative studies voted by students

42. Research and Development, during the last decade has
brought to the working practice sphere, the fruition of the
staggering tempo of innovation – which has been realised in
the form of follow-on, next-generation Mobile
Communications Access Networks Standards, known under
the abbreviation GSM – (Global System for Mobile
Communication), Universal Mobile Telecommunications
System (UMTS), and the current research – designated as
LTE – (Long Term Evolution), whose continuation is expected
up until 2025 – or beyond. The individual stages are
indicated – not as a business strategy, but as real technical
innovation, stages – in which new technical
telecommunication services´ principles are applied.

51. A pedagogical theory framework is required for
the effective introduction of technology in
education. Teachers should be supported and
guided to best exploit its tools in the most
adequate and effective way. It is not new
pedagogies that we need, but new ways of
providing existing pedagogy efficiently and
flexibly. Teachers who make the most changes
in the classroom are those who have the
greatest level of support.

52. The proper profile of the involved teacher should
include for example the knowledge of the
motivation of the students, the communication
and interaction skills, the ability to find and
explain practical example of usage the tested
knowledge, and mostly to be “expert” in the
field. Teachers who taught the given subject
should be selected according to the specific
needs according to the work with students “in
the ground”.

54. During teaching it is usually used verbal communication
channel, but for many reasons, there is more efficient
visual information. The main benefits of visual aids are:
1) They attract attention
Even if you prepare for an hour, you cannot teach the
pupils without the attention of the students. Ignoring the
new image on the slide of the data projector is difficult -
ignoring the new sentence of dialogue not. Getting
attention in the age of television and computers is not
easy, and we need to use all of help. When you look at
your visual aid, its attention is not diverted by other visual
stimuli - such as a window view.

55. 2) They help conceptualization
It is a major advantage visual aids. Many concepts and ideas we
understand rather visual than verbal – e.g., "practical skills" such as
soldering. If knowledge we remember, and we understand it visually,
we should visually communicate. Most novice teachers are aware of
this, but they often do not do it visually. It is best to resort to many
abstract concepts, such as "fractions" or "attracting money."
3) They are easier to remember
Based on our research, we know that most people best remember
rather visual than verbal information. For example, mapping
problems with submitting the report helps our memory.
4) They are an expression of your interest
When you spend time preparing visual aids, pupils see that you
want to teach them something.

57. Computer-assisted learning in the world uses the
abbreviation CAL ("computer-assisted learning“).
Computer programs that allow the computer to
function as a teacher are they called as learning
software. Of course, computers can display text and
charts, but they can also show moving images that
are often very useful for teaching - in particular
when a moving image is used for the certain
purpose - slowing or accelerating lessons.
Computers, of course, can also play questions,
check responses, and record the results of the pupil.
They can do this to help you out in explaining or the
testing of pupils.

61. The game is for single player only.
The game contains a total of 10
rooms that the player has to pass
within a given time limit. In each
room, there is a labyrinth in which
there are obstacles in the form of so-
called gates. The player passes
through the gateway if he correctly
answers the question from the
MATLAB usage.
The player's position in the labyrinth
is indicated by a green square that
you can move with the arrow keys.
We answer the questions by entering
a letter on the keyboard, such as a, b,
c or d.

62. The Labyrinth of MATLAB can
be played by anyone who is
able to answer the questions
correctly, it is necessary to
have the basic experience
with MATLAB. The game is
based on the multiple
activities at the same time
when the player has to look
for the right way to go
through the labyrinth, keep
track of time, collect as many
points as possible and also
show his/her knowledge of
MATLAB.

109. The game is for 1-3 players. As the title
suggests, the rules of the game are the same
as the Risk television entertainment program.
Specifically, in this game, the themes are
focused on describing the MATLAB
environment, operators, string operations,
complex numbers, arrays, and matrices. The
game is controlled by mouse and keyboard.
The player on the move selects the topic and
value of the question he / she wants to
answer. If the answer is correct, it is added to
the score. The game has a time limit for both
the player's response and the lap length, both
of which are represented by the progress bar.
After the timeout, a player with more points
wins.
The game itself contains about 40 M-files
and 5 files with FIG. Since the entire app is a
learning program, this game is de facto nice
application for users who can verify their
MATLAB knowledge in a funny way.
