- Conception of an E-learning scheme at the University of AlgarvePublication . Sustelo, F.; Ruano, AntonioWith the proliferation of the Internet use, a growth of e-learning courses has been verified. We arrived to the moment where it is not enough for Universities to have standard courses to offer to the students, because there is an increasing population which tends to choose his formation according to their objectives, styles, needs and learning preferences (the student profile). This way, the universities are faced with a new challenge, which is to offer, together with the standard courses, modules specially tailored to the user desires, based on the identification of the customers needs. In this paper, a model for the distance formation through Internet is discussed, that is being developed in the University of Algarve, which makes possible each individual to learn in agreement with his/her profile.
- A Matlab toolbox for simulating transputer and digital signal processors applicationsPublication . Sustelo, F.; Ruano, AntonioThe performance demands of modern control and signal processing systems is increasing beyond the capacity of conventional sequential processors, requiring parallel processing solutions to satisfy the real-time requirements. In this paper a new version of Matlab toolbox for simulating homogeneous systems built with Inmos transputers or digital signal processors is presented. This toolbox extended the capabilities of a previous approach. Its development aims to help the designer to compare, effortlessly, the performance of alternative parallel solutions, and also to monitor the program execution, within each processing node. This simulator is under further development to extend its applicability to parallel heterogeneous systems. Copyright (C) 1998 IFAC.
- Student model for an E-learning schemePublication . Sustelo, F.; Ruano, Antonio; Ribeiro Gonçalves, FernandoWith the proliferation of the Internet use, a growth of e-learning courses has been verified. We arrived to the moment where it is not enough for Universities to have standard courses to offer to the students, because there is an increasing population which tends to choose his formation according to their objectives, styles, needs and learning preferences (the student profile). This way, the universities are faced with a new challenge, which is to offer, together with the standard courses, modules specially tailored to the user desires, based on the identification of the customers needs. In this paper, the first step for the creation of a student model for an e-learning scheme that is being developed in the University of Algarve is described. To achieve this goal, a series of tasks have been undertaken, in order to gather information of a representative group, and subsequent treatment of the gathered data, so that it can be integrated in the tool of e-learning available in University of Algarve under the name of “Tutoria electrónica”.
