Electronic grade book as tool for monitoring the level of students’ physics research competencies
Get PDFThe purpose of this study is to describe the methods of monitoring the level of students’ physics research competencies. The main task is to show the possibilities of electronic grade book using for determination the level of students’ physics research competencies. The object of study is the tools of monitoring and evaluation of the level of students’ physics research competencies. The subject of study is the using of cloud technologies for monitoring and evaluation of the level of students’ physics research competencies.In previous studies it was shown that the system of students’ physics research competencies contains 14 competencies of 3 stages of research. Each competence consists of 4 components: cognitive, praxeological, axiological, social and behavioral. Moreover, each component of each competency has different impact on the level of students’ physics research competencies. Thus, the evaluation of the level of students’ physics research competencies requires the measurement of the levels of 56 components.This process is pretty time-consuming, but all mathematical operations that are needed for it, are typical. So, the monitoring of the level of students’ physics research competencies can be automated. It is proposed to use cloud-based spreadsheets for creating the electronic grade book for monitoring the level of students’ physics research competencies
Analysis, specification and verification requirements for control systems cloud training platforms
Get PDFDigital control systems are now an essential and critical part of Cloud Training Platforms. Numerous methods, tools and standards have been developed to ensure that such systems will comply with their requirements. However, the development of such requirements often does not receive the same level of attention. Indeed, in the case of highly reliable, mission-critical or safety-related control systems, operating experience shows that problems due to inadequate requirements tend to outnumber those due to incorrect design and implementation. This paper proposes an approach to the analysis, specification and verification of Sliding Mode control systems requirements for Bus Cloud Triple H-Avatar

Formation of cloud-based learning environment for professional training in programming
Get PDFThe article is devoted the question of forming a full functional based on cloud technology to study subjects from programming cycle for specialists in programming. The object of the research – the process applying cloud technologies in learning. The subject of the research – cloud technology in training of specialists in programming. The purpose of the research – forming a full functional learning environment for training of specialists in programming based on cloud technology. The method of research – analyses.To achieve the goal of the research was conducted review of existing integrated programming environments. First of all, such environments should be based on cloud technologies, since among the services provided by cloud technologies is a service SaaS. Also, the environment should support the possibility of developing programs in different programming languages, which allowed organize learning on programming in a single environment. In this environment was chosen cloud environments Cloud9 IDE. Cloud9 IDE is an Internet environment for development applications in programming language Javascript for Node.js, HTML5/CSS, PHP, Java, Ruby on Rails, C/C++, Python, allowing you to work in free and paid modes.Since service SaaS used to provide learning process and research only specialized software, therefore necessary to provide the learning materials (texts of lectures, laboratory and practical work, tutorials, self-study materials, etc.). These materials every student can study to self-pace, on their own trajectory. That student will acquire the ability and skills as needed – out bulky projects and approaches to learning

Acquiring and development of teachers’ e-competences in the system of qualification improvement
Get PDFResearch goals: expansion of the IT component of system of teachers’ training.Research objectives: to provide guidance on the methodology of certain types of studies and scenario for building of seminar for teachers depending on the capabilities and desires of students and choice of e-Competences.Object of research: the system of qualification improvement.Subject of research: acquiring and development of teachers’ e‑competences in the system of qualification improvement.Research methods used: analysis of international standards, publications and educational process.Results of the research. In the paper it’s described the experience and practical results that was obtained in the training of teachers from Ukrainian HEI in the seminar of qualification improvement “Management of Distance Education”, which for many years is conducted at the Centre of Distance Education of National Technical University «Kharkiv Polytechnic Institute». The main objective of the seminar is to acquire its audience a set of e-competences that will enable them to start or speed up the implementation of the methodology and tools of e-learning in their departments. The seminar is based on a blended learning.The main conclusions. It’s shown that the chosen methodology, together with the use of numerous practical results of NTU "KPI" System of Distance Education, is optimal for achieving this goal
Visualization of educational information with the use services of cloud technology
Get PDFThe purpose of the paper is the theoretical justification for the use of information visualization with the use services of cloud technology in educational process secondary school. Object of research supports the educational process in secondary school. The object is to use visualization training information with the use services of cloud technology. The feasibility of the use of these technologies in education due to their compliance psychological peculiarities inherent in the present generation of students and the need for a compact representation of the training material in the manner most convenient to its perception, understanding, learning and remembering. It is shown that the use of visualization develops cognitive interest of students, makes it possible to create a positive emotional atmosphere in the classroom and facilitates implementation of intersubject connections in learning. However, visualization is a powerful didactic tool, the use of which has to be motivated, pedagogically appropriate methodically backed up. In our opinion, the problem of training of future teachers to effective use of technology of visualization in teaching activities is a perspective direction for further research

Cloud technology as a means of transition to free software
Get PDFGlobal information society contributed to the development of information technology in the classroom. Cloud technology providers for educational space great features require investigation as to how to use them, and in conjunction with other teaching aids. No exception is free software that tries to take its place in the educational environment. The study aims to analyze the possibilities of switching to the use of free software through the implementation of cloud technologies in information and educational environment of the modern university. To solve this goal were problems with the analysis capabilities of cloud technologies and compare them with the possibilities of free software. Object of study – the transition to the use of free software through the use of cloud technology. Purpose of the study – the use of cloud technology to switch to free software. A comparative analysis was revealed common features of cloud technologies and free software in the context of information and educational environment. The use of open source software is fundamentally has not been studied, it’s not so much a new trend in the educational activity as psychological and social factors. Barriers to the use of free software in education is primarily distrust people to great opportunities of free software and understanding why well made software can be free. All these factors together hinder the promotion of free software in the educational community that at this stage of education is no longer acceptable. There is hope that the use of cloud technologies will make a major step in the psychological and social preparation software users to use free software
