P. Doulai. Smart On-Campus Education: An Integrated Technology Enhanced Setup. In Proceedings of the International Power Engineering Conference (IPEC2001), pages 56-60, Singapore, May 17-19, 2001.
Abstract:
This paper discusses the concept of "smart on-campus education" that is built upon a web centric application, and offers a number of integrated educational tools and resources. These tools are incorporated into a standard lecture-based subject delivery. In a "smart on-campus education" setup students have access to a range of pedagogically strong learning resources. For instance, they can collaborate to complete group projects and participate in private or public communications with the instructor and the rest of the class. The setup also assists the instructor with students progress tracking and assessment a well as student and class management. To further explore the concept of "smart on-campus education" a sample implementation is demonstrated. It is shown that the "smart on-campus education" allows flexibility into traditional lecture-based classes, and the combination of flexible educational resources with face-to-face interactions offer a workable solution to problems facing tertiary institutions today.

P. Doulai. Smart and Flexible Campus: Technology Enabled University Education. In Proceedings of The World Internet and Electronic Cities Conference, pages 94-101, Kish Island, Iran, 1-3 May 2001.
Abstract:
In recent years, university educators have moved from singular reliance upon the didactic lecture hall format to a composite system that uses a full array of course development, delivery, maintenance and management tools. This paper briefly introduces such as system by discussing the concept of a "smart and flexible campus education". The system offers an integrated series of educational tools that facilitate students' communication and collaboration along with a number of facilities for students' study aid and class management. The application of two widely used technologies, namely dynamic web-based instruction and real-time streaming, in providing support for "smart and flexible campus" education is demonstrated. It is shown that the usage of technology enabled methods in university campuses results in a model that works equally well for distance students and learners in virtual campuses. In effect, the "smart and flexible campus" education leads to a convergence of traditional and virtual educational programs.

Web-based Assessment and Survey.
In Proceedings of the Australian Society for Computers in Learning in Tertiary Education pages 155-162, Wollongong, Australia, December 1998.
Abstract:
This paper describes methods of on-line assessment and students' survey, which utilize the Web interfaces and uses them in conjunction with the Internet. To find the most appropriate alternative methods of students' assessment and survey a variety of commercial and public domain tools was used to implement the following two basic tasks:
1. "Student Suggestion Box" where students evaluate the subject and make comments and suggestions on the subject and its assessment, and
2. a partially AutoMark short assessment task, containing two paragraph questions and three multiple choice questions, that offers final marks to the instructor/students and provides prompt feedback for wrong or partially wrong answers to students.
Two commercial packages, two major Web-based course-building environments, and a locally developed server and client side programs were used to implement the above mentioned pre-defined tasks. This paper shows sample results obtained from each, and illustrates the result of a comparison that was made in terms of the ease of setting up the assessment/survey task from the instructor point of view, the program installation and maintenance as well as its hardware/software requirements, and the type of learning environment that the program creates from students' view points. New additions and future improvement to these implementations will de dealt with in some detail.

In Proceedings of the Australasian Universities Power Engineering Conference,
pages 175-180, Perth, Australia, September 1995.
Abstract:
It has been long accepted that practical laboratory work is an essential component of engineering based courses. There is an increase in student number and a decrease in resource allocation making it increasingly more difficult to provide adequate level of practical laboratory work. Alternative methods based on computer aided laboratory experiment, computer simulation and the use of new educational delivery tools are needed to supplement practical work. This paper explains strategies that have been implemented for a large, second year power laboratory course at University of Wollongong. The setup uses a variety of media for teaching and assessment purposes. This paper also briefly highlights issues related to the resource coordination. The development project is heading toward its completion by introducing a new information retrieval environment to enable students to use a range of teaching laboratory media in an integrated and coherent environment.

In Proceedings of the Australasian Universities Power Engineering Conference, pages 300-305, Wollongong, Australia, October 1993.
Abstract:
Adoption of circuit simulators for classroom applications is now widely considered as an effective educational tool for teaching core and elective subjects in electrical engineering courses. This is mainly due to the availability of powerful and flexible simulation packages run on most popular personal computer as well as mainframe platforms.
In this paper a brief introduction to computer simulation for teaching power electronic circuit technology is presented. Three widely used power electronic circuits are simulated using EMTP, PSpice, and PES packages. The results are evaluated on a comparative basis in terms of the simulation run time, accuracy and ease of use (input/output format and modeling structure), and a more general conclusion is drawn in an attempt to set guidelines for new users of power electronic circuit simulators for classroom purposes.
