The COVID-19 pandemic has forced the majority of universities in Korea to switch to untact classes. However, we now expect that untact classes will expand even into the post-coronavirus era. Online learning has advantages when it comes to convenience, connectivity, and accessibility. In addition, many of the students who have experienced untact online classes expect to expand online classes if the qual-ity of the classes is guaranteed. Considering these points, it is necessary for us to seek qualitative improvements in the operation of untact classes.This study examines practical educational strategies and their effects in untact situations using the <Inference and Argumentation> course at University B in Bus-an as an example. The course consisted of pre-recorded video and real-time video classes in parallel every other week. In the pre-video class, students take in theo-retical explanations and conduct example solving activities, and assignments are required. The real-time class consists of the students solving the assignments tog-ether, so that prior learning and the real-time classes are organically linked. In the real-time class, students' problem solving was checked through chatting, enab-ling learners to understand and reinforce their understanding of learning. The eff-ectiveness of this untact class operation is checked through a questionnaire. In the questionnaire, not only the level of improvement in critical and logical thinking skills before and after learning were measured, but also their understanding of pre-recorded video classes. Although this is subjective survey, it is possible for us to gauge how much the learners' academic achievement has improved, as well as the educational efficacy they feel through the untact operation of the course.

This paper aims to present and evaluate the performance of one of the first real-time bus dispatching system in Bangkok, Thailand. The proposed bus dispatching system receives the real-time bus location data from the RFID sensor network. The paper provides the background and brief description of both the hardware and architecture of the RFID sensornetwork and the real-time bus dispatching system. The bus dispatching system continuously monitors the status of each bus and updates its expected arrival time at the depot using the real-time data from the RFID sensor network. If the expected number of vehicles falls below the required level, then the bus dispatching system will adjust the service headwayand vehicle/driver assignments to minimize the impact on the service headway. The system is implemented on one of a bus lines in Bangkok. The main focus of the paper is to evaluate the performance of the implemented system by comparing the bus service qualities before and after the implementation of the real-time bus dispatching system. One month bus service data both before and after the system deployment are used in the evaluation of the bus level of service. The result illustrates the potential real-life benefit of the real-time bus dispatching system despite the simplicity of the timetable adjustment strategy.

The present paper presents an updated version of the holistic model of Eshet-Alkalai (2004), adding to it the real-time thinking skill. The paper discusses the value of these skills in refining our understanding of how people interact with digital environments, and examines their application in improving communication among users, scholars and designers of digital environments. The digital thinking skills that are discussed in the paper are the, photo-visual, reproduction, branching, information, socio-emotional and real-time thinking skills . It is suggested that these six digital thinking skills exist in every learner, but their “volume” or “magnitude” differ from person to person.

This study was conducted to derive implications on how educational activities should be organized and operated for improving creative competency in online class situations by analyzing how it has changed in classes before and after COVID-19. These classes were taken by science and engineering students who took the ‘Creative Thinking and Problem Solving’ subject operated by N University. In order to achieve the goals of this study, a pre-post test related to creative competency was administered at the beginning and end of the semester to 92 students who took the face-to-face class in the second semester of 2019, and to 120 students who took the on-line class in the second semester of 2020. The research results are as follows: Creative competency was significantly improved in the face-to-face class, but not in the online class. Looking at each sub-competency of creative competency, both the challenge spirit and problem solving ability were significantly improved in the face-to-face class. Moreover, the student’s challenge spirit ability was significantly improved in the online class, but their problem solving ability was not significantly improved. These results were similar regardless of whether the instructor changed, or if the students’ grades changed. Also, the students’ gender had no bearing on these results either. Based on these research results, as well as on our educational goals and the content of the classes, the project activities involved in the ‘Creative Thinking and Problem Solving’ subject can be used in online classes in their current form. But this study suggested that strategies for improving students' problem-solving abilities need to be supplemented. Specifically, instructors should increase communication opportunities through the parallel use of the real-time remote video system, and should guide their students to become faithful to the team-based project activities through the sub-session function of the real-time remote video system. To this end, the university may consider changing two credits of two hours into two credits of three hours, or three credits of three hours. Universities also need to operate this subject in connection with extra-activities. It is also necessary for instructors to provide a support environment where students can freely meet using the real-time remote video system, and can engage in solving problems through their own initiative.

The real-time system is now used on many fields, such as telecommunication, military, information system, evenmedical to get information quickly, on time and accurate. Needless to say, a real-time system will always considerthe performance time. In our application, we define the time target/deadline, so that the system should execute thewhole tasks under predefined deadline. However, if the system failed to finish the tasks, it will lead to fatal failure.In other words, if the system cannot be executed on time, it will affect the subsequent tasks. In this paper, wepropose a real-time system for sending data to find effectiveness and efficiency. Sending data process will beconstructed in MATLAB and sending data process has a time target as when data will send.

Developing a microcontroller-based system for controlling the flywheel motor of high-dynamics spacecraft using Russian-made parts and components made it possible to make statement of the problem of searching control function for a preset rotation rate of the flywheel rotor. This paper discusses one of the possible options for mathematical study of the stated problem, namely, application of structural analysis based on graph theory. Within the framework of the stated problem a graph was constructed for generating the new required rate, while in order to consider the stochastic case option the incidence and adjacency matrices were constructed. The stated problem was solved using a power matrix which transforms a set of contiguous matrices of the graph of admissible solution edge sequences, the real-time control function was found. Based on the results of this work, operational trials were run for the developed control function of the flywheel motor rotor rotation rate, a math model was constructed for the real-time control function, and conclusions were drawn about the feasibility of implementing the results of this study. Key words: Control function, graph, incidence matrix, adjacency matrix, power matrix, microcontroller control of the flywheel motor, highly dynamic spacecraft.
