Computer Technology together with a web-based life is no longer a preference. The Internet provides a wide variety of resources, among which, web sites designed for instruction require special attention on the basis of ergonomics and user interface design. This study is concerned with the interface design of instructional sites for children aged 8-12. When designing for children, basic design principles may not be satisfactory to achieve a pleasant solution. A technically proficient end product that efficiently operates bright colours, larger fonts, animations and sound may not be instructive at all unless it takes the learning process into consideration. Current research indicates successful learning experiences must personally engage each student with active rather than passive participation. Even if the World Wide Web (WWW) is defined as boundless and immeasurable, still the instructional materials on the web need to be agreeable with the real world educational criteria. Awareness of ergonomics appears to be necessary not only for the design team who is to form the end product but also for the end users- children, parents and teachers in this case.

Towards secure e-elections in Turkey: Requirements and principles Cetinkaya, Orhan; Cetinkaya, Deniz (2007-04-13) E-democracy is a necessity in this era of computers and information technology. E-voting is one of the most significant pails of e-democracy, which refers to the use of computers or computerized voting equipment to cast ballots in an election.
Analysis of graph and text representation techniques for news recommendation and news classification Ağrıman, Mustafa; Karagöz, Pınar; Department of Computer Engineering (2022-2-07) Developments in computer science leads to increase in the use of software applications in all areas of life. This also causes an increase in data usage. Applications using textual data involves tasks such as finding similarities between texts, detecting events from texts, and classifying texts. However, using graphs and graph vectors can be more successful than textual methods of representing textual information, due to capability to express additional features and complex relationships in graph structure. ...
Personalization of a Theoretical Course in Extracurricular Activities Caner, Sonay; Kaplan, Göknur (2017-03-09) In recent years, online learning environments and adaptive technologies make great progress. Therefore PLEs also have become advanced environments in terms of technology. However, in PLEs there is also a need in terms of pedagogy. This study aims to focus more attention on pedagogical aspect of PLEs and contribute PLE research at a case basis by examining student opinions and perceived learning through design and use of a PLE. A PLE implementation was conducted as extracurricular activity within a theoretic...
Examining teaching presence, social presence, cognitive presence, satisfaction and learning in online and blended course contexts Akyol, Zehra; Özden, M. Yaşar; Department of Computer Education and Instructional Technology (2009) Online and Blended learning are becoming widespread along with the changing needs of society and advances in technology. Recently, there is a growing emphasis on building learning communities in order to increase the effectiveness of these learning environments. In recent years there is one promising theory that has generated considerable interest and has been widely adopted and studied by researchers: the Community of Inquiry (CoI) framework developed by Garrison, Anderson and Archer (2000). The CoI framew...
Colour coding based novel data representation and lightweight convolutional neural network architecture for hierarchical anomaly detection on ehealth applications Yatbaz, Hakan Yekta; Ever, Enver; Computer Engineering (2020-10) eHealth is on its way to become an essential industry due to the advancements in information technology. Human activity recognition (HAR) is one of the most popular areas within the scope of eHealth, particularly with applications in anomaly detection. Although there are various studies on HAR, most of them propose complex models that are not compatible with portable devices and wearables due to their restricted computing capabilities. In this thesis, new data representation is presented along with a lightw...
