ABSTRACT
Programmable tangible blocks educational robotic system (C-Block) was introduced as an approach for project-based learning (PBL) curriculum. It aims to provide a tangible method of doing programming for younger kids and hence allowing them to exploring in STEM education as early as possible. In this paper, the design and development of instruction block sets and the corresponding system to extract the information out from the instruction blocks were discussed. The state-of-the-art technology proposed in this research can be very fruitful to enhance the implementation of the robotics in education system.

Web-based Personalised System of Instruction: An effective approach for diverse cohorts with virtual learning environments?
The Personalised System of Instruction is a form of mastery learning which, though it has been proven to be educationally effective, has never seriously challenged the dominant lecture-tutorial teaching method in higher education and has largely fallen ...
Exploring Parent Use of Early STEM Media to Inform Design for Children
IDC '19: Proceedings of the 18th ACM International Conference on Interaction Design and ChildrenThis paper explores how parents identify and use science and math media to engage their preschool children in informal science and math learning. Through an interview study, we examine parental beliefs about media's role in their preschool-aged children'...
