The advancements in technology are accelerating the development and diffusion of new innovative e-learning solutions. The e-learning industry is growing and offering new opportunities for both formal and informal learning. Open Educational Resources (OER) movement has gained considerable attention recently as an attempt to provide digital materials that can be used, and repurposed for teaching and learning. OER are becoming very popular learning materials including full courses, textbooks, modules, syllabi, lectures, homework assignments that are freely available online for everyone to use. Today, more higher education institutions are introducing OER and more alternative options for learning available such as Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) which might be considered as repositories of open access content. There is a significant need for colleges and universities to examine and understand the disruptive potential of new educational technologies such as MOOCs. This paper will discuss the problems and issues related with MOOCs to provide possible solutions for leveraging the capacity and potential.

Wireless Communication Aspects in the Internet of Things: An Overview
ULUŞAR, ÜMİT DENİZ; Celik, Gurkan; Al-Turjman, Fadi (2017-10-12)
Recent advances in technology propelled the development of resource constrained tiny devices and the concept of Internet of Things (IoT). Potential applications spanning various fields of science from environmental to medical have been emerged. Different architectures, routing protocols, performance issues and goals have been suggested. In this work, we review fundamental concepts, recent developments and critical design factors under IoT-specific constraints and objectives such as energy efficiency and env...
Turbomachinery Noise Radiation through the Engine Exhaust (TURNEX)
Özyörük, Yusuf(2005-1-01)
Research is needed to develop innovative concepts and enabling technologies to reduce aeroengine noise at source. Turbomachinery noise radiating from the bypass and core nozzles is becoming the dominant noise source on modern aircraft, but, while recent EU research programmes have made significant progress in reducing both the generation of turbbmachinery noise and the radiation of noise from the intake, little work has been conducted on reducing the radiation of turbomachinery noise from exhaust nozzles. ...
Sustainability-oriented innovation system analyses of Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Turkey and Singapore
Kılkış, Şiir (2016-09-01)
The coherency of research, development, and innovation processes are vital in promoting a more resource efficient society. Sustainability-oriented innovation systems define specific kinds of innovation systems, i.e. those that are directed to the aims of sustainable development. This paper develops an integrated method with four layers of analysis to evaluate the priorities and performances of such systems. The method is applied to a sample of emerging and innovation based economies, namely Brazil, Russia, ...
Smart Residence Management System RMS with Personalized Comfort
Ay, Meral Başak; Gökalp, Ebru; Eren, Pekin Erhan; Tanyer, Ali Murat (2016-10-31)
The built environment is undergoing a significant evolution, enabled by the Internet of Things (IoT) concept. IoT offers some far-reaching opportunities with the help of cloud computing to exploit technological advances for the benefit of the users, society, and the environment. Technological advances in IoT makes it easier to monitor and manage environments around us. Also, increasing control over lighting/daylighting amount, fresh air ventilation rate, temperature, noise level and humidity level increase ...
Wireless networking in tunnelling projects
Nielsen, Yasemin; Koseoglu, Ozan (Elsevier BV, 2007-05-01)
Emerging collaborative technologies and working methods often require tremendous engineering and organisational efforts for successful implementation of information and communication technologies (ICTs). According to a research conducted in Turkish construction industry, most of the problems that occur during the construction phase are due to lack of co-operation and communication between designers and contractors and lack of prompt expert decisions during on-site engineering. Similar to any major construct...
