Key Words: Online learning; deep neural networks; face recognition; facial emotions recognition; python.

Abstract. This paper presents the application of Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (DNN) in the process of online learning of students, which become very important in the time of Covid pandemic. The pre-trained DNN are analyzed and selected one applied for students’ face recognition and for facial emotions recognition. On the base of face recognition students are admitted to the online lectures, exercises and exams. As well, face recognition used to control students whether they regularly visit the lectures and the exercises. The analysis of students’ facial emotions (positive, neutral or negative) was used for personalization of the study process and for adaptation of the lecture material.

Key Words: Artificial intelligence; secondary schools; representation and knowledge processing; intelligent agents; semantic modeling; machine learning and emerging technologies.

Abstract. The article briefly introduces the published in 2019 by Izkustva Publishing House textbook “Artificial Intelligence. Solving Problems Through Search“ with authors Stanimir Stoyanov, Todorka-Glushkova and Yordan Todorov – lecturers at the Plovdiv University “Paisii Hilendarski”. The textbook adopts an algorithmic approach and the basic methods are presented as abstract algorithms, with curious examples, interesting questions and biographies of researchers added for a clearer understanding. According to the specific conditions in each school and class certain topics and tasks could be included or respectively excluded. The following textbooks are: knowledge representation and processing, intelligent agents, semantic modeling and machine learning. It has been suggested that other scientists, professors and specialists will be involved in writing textbooks on emerging technologies.

С. Цолова. Резултати от апробиране на иновативна методология за обучение, подпомогната от ИКТ технологии

Статията е 5 от 11 в списание АВТОМАТИКА И ИНФОРМАТИКА 1, 2019 г.

Key Words: Approbation results; innovative methodology; David Kolb’s experiential learning cycle; Honey & Mumford learning types.

Abstract. The aim of this article is to present the results from a research, focused on the creation and evaluation of an innovative educational model, combining: Honey and Mumford learning styles, David Kolb experiential learning cycle and identification of the most effective innovative ICT technologies supporting the educational process for each learning style in the methodology of David Kolb’ experiential learning cycle. The presented in this article methodology was used as a basis for development of learning materials for university master degree course in the field of “Innovations and Innovation Management” and this gave opportunity for evaluation of the developed model: part of the course was implemented with traditional lectures without application of the presented here innovative model and later the same part of the course was implemented with application of the here presented innovative model and the specifically prepared for it learning materials. During the experiment the students filled in questionnaires in order to evaluate the used methods, learning materials and tasks in the course, the levels of acquired knowledge, level of involvement and satisfaction in the course. The results from this research presented in this article confirmed the successful application of the innovative methodology and the students’ preference towards educational process based on this methodology.

Key Words: Standalone applications; industrial automation; teaching materials.

Abstract. Developing standalone applications to solve specific tasks is a convenient teaching tool. Standalone applications have been compiled from MATLAB code into executable files that can run outside of MATLAB for teaching materials in classes of Industrial Automation. Six standalone applications have been developed: four applications for the analysis of first- and second-order systems in time and frequency domains, one application to study time-delay systems and one to study systems with P, PI, PID controllers. The purpose of the present development is to share these applications with users who do not have MATLAB installed.

Key Words: Game development; software architecture; serious games; virtual floor.

Abstract. Play is the oldest form of learning. Nowadays, there are numerous examples of video games that are developed for educational purposes. The hardware medium those games are played also varies – from traditional desktop PC sand consoles, through mobile devices, to virtual reality head sets. The latest additions to that list are virtual walls and floors. In this paper, we present FluurMat [16] – a virtual floor for both educational and entertainment games. Furthermore, we demonstrate and discuss several examples of serious games that are implemented on the top of that architecture. We also briefly explain which specific abilities each one of those games trains.

Key Words: Blockchain; education; behavior tracking; distributed networks; e-learning.

Abstract. In this article, we are going to introduce a model for integrating an intended interface platform for storing information regarding the behavior of students, over a blockchain network. The state of the art will describe the actual concept of the technology and the main article will introduce the in-dept architecture of a software prototype UniChain a distributed clause based blockchain network for storing behavior information. The main purpose of the article is to address a practical approach for implementing a theoretical concept over education and to propose an implementation solution for a real-world problem.
