These days adaptivity is the cutting edge of modern education. Technologies are being developed rapidly and bringing new possibilities to educators. Thus, diverse types of adaptive learning environment have appeared during these last decades. Material Science and Engineering Education (MSEE) have a solid formalized foundation, which consists of sta...

В статье обсуждается задача проверки гипотез о типе распределения данных, получаемых при измерениях в образовании, в программных системах. Приведён обзор критериев проверки нормальности, имеющих дискретные аппроксимации, что делает их пригодными для реализации в программных системах. Обсуждается место и необходимость применения указанных критериев...

Nowadays, mind mapping is a rather popular educational technique. Moreover, mind maps became a part of modern educational trends like blended learning and computer-supported collaborative learning. Lots of mind mapping software tools are adopted to teaching and learning routines such as educational content delivery or assessment. This paper focuses...

Appearance and spreading of massive online open courses (MOOC) start the era of restructuration of the modern-day education. The questions of quality assurance and integration MOOCs with traditional educational processes are quite popular. Even though quality assurance is richly studied area now, a question of how to estimate a change of quality of...

Mind mapping approach is acknowledged as a fruitful collaborative educational technique. However, there is a lack of researches on students’ experience during learning with mind maps. Nowadays, information technologies are developed and wide spread impetuously. Thus digital mind maps become more and more popular. The process of their creation is st...

Active learning and formative assessment techniques are the cutting edge of the modern education. This paper considers peer assessment automation and touches the topic of high actuality in advancing ICT for active learning. The roots of the study are obtained difficulties in adoption of the currently available peer assessment systems to engineering...

Nowadays peer assessment is recognized as a crucial part of a wide range of active learning routines. Nevertheless, practitioners and educators speak of the complexity and high resource consumption for the implementation of this type of assessment. Undoubtedly, convenient software that supports peer assessment processes may substantially raise prod...

In 2016 Gartner Inc. predicted that the demand for Citizen Data Scientists will increase five times more quickly than the demand for Data Scientists. Author will consider an educational project, which lies in line with the concept of Citizen Science and Data Science. The report will also address the basic principles of Citizen Science, oriented for...

A phenomenon of citizen science, its features and prospects are the topic of high actuality nowadays. And it seems to be natural, that citizen science and crowdsourcing techniques penetrate to such popular area as data science. This paper considers the questions about teaching data science and the areas, which borrow the techniques from data scienc...
