It is well known that the thermodynamics is one of the most complicated subjects for students in the mechanical engineering curriculum. The new web-based Guided Self-Assessment Tool (GSATool) developed at the University of Toledo enables students to become actively engaged in the process of learning, to receive immediate feedback, to recognize their own strengths and weaknesses with the course material, and to better gauge their own learning levels and needs. The present paper describes the GSATool, its specifics and applications.

AbstractGames are a well-suited testbed for the development and evaluation of concepts and tools in artificial intelligence (AI). In our paper we outline the architecture of a web-based game server that was developed to support the teaching of artificial intelligence at the university level as well as research in the domain of AI and rule-based language development. The server combines a Prolog-based declarative approach with Java-based server technologies. The architecture consists of multiple, strictly separated components. Declarative components comprise the gameindependent core engine as well as game-dependent logic and visualization descriptions. General operations (e.g. user management, load balancing, match maintenance etc.) and rendering of the visualization descriptions with actual GUI techniques are implemented imperatively. External interfaces are provided to integrate remote developers and learners to facilitate usage beyond the borders of a single university.

Universities want to encourage faculty to keep curricula up-to-date and innovative, yet faculty dread the prospect of arguing about course and program changes with college and university curriculum committees – which are overworked and overwhelmed with detail. The Course Challenge Procedure (CCP) at the University of Saskatchewan is a collegial yet autonomous way for peer review and approval of new courses, and pre-requisite and program changes. It encourages more faculty members to be informed about curricular changes in other units, yet also allows for faster approval. The CCP can be implemented as a web-based, email, or paper distribution system, and used as the basis for integrated curriculum approval processes at the department, college, and university level.

This study proposes a hierarchy affiliation model (department–school–university) to build network between web entities taking into account the domain names, the topological structure of academic network and the disciplinary characteristics of schools and universities synthetically. The study of the Chinese academic web based on the model shows that at the school level, 68 of 95 disciplines (71.6%) are identified from the directed school network and 71 from the undirected school network, respectively; at the university level, four out of seven broad disciplines are found. Furthermore, according to the comparative result based on three types of relations (hyperlinks, citations and collaborations) among universities, we would like to argue with cautions that the structure on academic web would potentially be more suitable to trace the interests in common between institutions.

This article discusses the plan to implement the Quranic Arabic Corpus for the development of Arabic syntax teaching and learning materials (TLM), especially at the university level. The study explores an alternative Arabic syntax TLM development by utilizing a corpus, one of the most important linguistic research resources. In recent years, corpora have been widely utilized in developing teaching materials. The Quranic Arabic Corpus is beneficial not just in terms of additional references or examples, but also in facilitating grammatical understanding and discussion. The highly adequate syntactic annotations recorded in this corpus can also be used to discover and explore the syntactic analysis of every word in the Quran, so that it can be easily implemented in the analysis, examples of each chapter, or section of the discussions in Arabic syntax. Based on the analysis of this corpus’s content and its relevance with the existing Arabic syntax teaching materials, it is shown that this corpus can be incorporated as a supplement of Arabic syntax TLM. The following six steps should be followed to utilize this corpus in Arabic Syntax learning: (1) prepare the necessary tools, (2) select learning materials, (3) determine keywords, (4) access QAC, (5) search for keywords in QAC, and (6) select search results and proceed with the syntactic analysis. Keywords: Arabic syntax, linguistic corpus, Quranic Arabic corpus, teaching and learning materials

The study focused basically on measuring the relationship between the material cost of the students benefits program and the benefits which are earned by it, which was distributed on college students in the initial stages (matinee) and to show the extent of the benefits accruing from the grant program compared to the material burdens which matched and the extent of success or failure of the experience and its effect from o scientific and side on the Iraqi student through these tough economic circumstances experienced by the country in general, and also trying to find ways of proposed increase or expansion of distribution in the future in the event of proven economic feasibility from the program. An data has been taking from the data fro the Department of Financial Affairs and the Department of Studies and Planning at the University of Diyala with taking an data representing an actual and minimized pattern and questionnaires to a sample of students from the Department of Life Sciences in the Faculty of Education of the University of Diyala on the level of success and failure of students in the first year of the grant and the year before for the purpose of distribution comparison. The importance of the study to measure the extent of interest earned in comparision whit the material which is expenseon the program of grant (grant of students) to assist the competent authorities to continue or not in the program of student grants for the coming years.

Thai Buddhist meditation practice tradition has its long history since the Sukhothai Kingdom about 18th B.E., until the present day at 26th B.E. in the Kingdom of Thailand. In history there were many well-known Buddhist meditation master teachers, i.e., SomdejPhraBhudhajaraya (To Bhramarangsi), Phraajarn Mun Puritatto, Luang Phor Sodh Chantasalo, PhramahaChodok Yanasitthi, and Buddhadasabhikkhu, etc. Buddhist meditation practice is generally regarded by Thai Buddhists to be a higher state of doing a good deed than doing a good deed by offering things to Buddhist monks even to the Buddha. Thai Buddhists believe that practicing Buddhist meditation can help them to have mindfulness, peacefulness in their own lives and to finally obtain Nibbana that is the ultimate goal of Buddhism. The present article aims to briefly review history, and movement of Thai Buddhist Meditation Practice Tradition and to take a case study of students’ Buddhist meditation practice research at the university level as an example of the movement of Buddhist meditation practice tradition in Thailand in the present.

This research is based on learning in tertiary institutions which requires more active, independent and creative learners. of the importance of using appropriate learning methods in mathematics learning at the university level. SCAMPER is a technique that can be used to spark creativity and help overcome challenges that might be encountered in the form of a list of general goals with ideas spurring questions. This research aims to develop students' problem solving skills using the SCAMPER method in terms of student motivation. The population in this study were all semester V students of mathematics education study programs, which were also the research samples. From the analysis of the data it was found that the SCAMPER method was better in developing students' problem solving abilities with an average increase of 0.52 compared to conventional methods with an average increase of 0.45. In addition there is a difference between improving students' problem solving abilities when viewed from their motivation. But there is no interaction between motivational factors and learning methods.

For Iraqi EFL learners who are studying English pronunciation in a traditional instruction method often requires more effort and hard work. Thus, using new methods of teaching such as the flipped classroom model (FCM) is necessary to facilitate learning and improve performance. Hence, this study reports on explanatory research that investigates the effect of using the FCM in the teaching of English pronunciation for Iraqi EFL learners at the university level. The study implemented mixed research methods for data collection in a quasi-experimental analysis. Therefore, two tests were conducted on the assigned groups to measure the effect of the FCM before and after the intervention. Besides, a questionnaire and interviews were used on the experiment group students to collect data about their perceptions of the FCM. The study length (lasted)  was 15 weeks and is comprised of 60 students from the department of English, College of Arts at the University of Anbar. The students were divided into two groups, experimental, and control with 30 students in each group. The findings revealed that there was a significant statistical difference between the two groups in favour of the experimental group with better performance, indicating that the FCM has considerably assisted the Iraqi EFL learners to improve their English pronunciation. Moreover, the students expressed their positive feedback and satisfaction on the use of the FCM in their responses to the questionnaire and the interviews. As such, the current study recommends further research to study the effect of applying the FCM in areas and disciplines other than language learning.
