Teaching Motion Planning Concepts to Undergraduate Students
, 2011
"... Motion planning is a central problem in robotics. Although it is an engaging topic for undergraduate students, it is difficult to teach, and as a result, the material is often only covered at an abstract level. Deep learning could be achieved by having students implement and test different algorit ..."

Teaching Robot Motion Planning
- IN: COMPUTERS IN EDUCATION (SPECIAL ISSUE ON NOVEL APPROACHES TO ROBOTICS EDUCATION), 20(3):50Â59, 2010.
, 2010
"... Robot motion planning is a fairly intuitive and engaging topic, yet it is difficult to teach. The material is taught in undergraduate and graduate robotics classes in computer science, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering and aeronautical engineering, but at an abstract level. Deep learnin ..."

undergraduates grasp motion planning concepts in series of courses designed for increasing advanced levels, we can open the field to young and enthusiastic talent. This cannot be done by asking students to implement motion planning algorithms from scratch or access thousands of lines of code and just figure out
The Open Motion Planning Library
, 2012
"... We describe the Open Motion Planning Library (OMPL), a new library for sampling-based motion planning, which contains implementations of many state-of-the-art planning algorithms. The library is designed in a way that allows the user to easily solve a variety of complex motion planning problems with ..."

with minimal input. OMPL facilitates the addition of new motion planning algorithms and it can be conveniently interfaced with other software components. A simple graphical user interface (GUI) built on top of the library, a number of tutorials, demos and programming assignments have been designed to teach
Undergraduate Students
"... This thesis presents research that compares the ways students and lecturers of the Lisbon Polytechnic Institute (IPL) perceive and value effectiveness and creativity in teaching. Creativity can be defined in several ways; in this context, it is related to the effectiveness of a teacher. The document ..."

Platforms for Teaching Distributed Computing Concepts to Undergraduate Students
, 2015
"... Over the last two decades, information technology has been moving towards dis-tributed computing to host their applications and services. These systems can process more data more reliably than their central processing counterparts; however, dis-tributed applications are more complex to design and de ..."

and develop because they require additional properties like replication and fault tolerance to work effectively. These complexities translate to the educational setting, where schools need to invest in ad-ditional infrastructure, knowledge, and technologies to teach distributed concepts to students
Student Experiences and Perceptions of Team-Teaching in a Large Undergraduate Class
- JOURNAL OF UNIVERSITY TEACHING AND LEARNING PRACTICE
"... This paper examines student experiences and perceptions of two models of team-teaching employed at a regional Australian university to teach a large undergraduate marketing subject. The two team-teaching models adopted for use in this subject can be characterised by the large number of team members ..."

Implications of Undergraduates ’ Conceptions of Function
"... The concept of function has played a crucial role in the development of modern mathematics and has been useful in the development of other disciplines such as physics and economics. Since 1923 there has been a push by mathematics educators to make the concept of function a central focus in secondary ..."
