  • Using Google Drawings to Create Homework Exercises
    Using Google Drawings to Create Homework Exercises We show how Google Drive’s Drawings tool can be used to create homework exercises suitable for both online and face-to-face classes. This approach allows students to create graphs actively “from scratch,” similar to the traditional pencil-and-paper approach, with a minimal investment of time and money. This could be a useful active-learning tool for online, blended, and tradi- tional courses. Oskar Harmon† Robert Szarka‡ †University of Connecticut, ‡State University of New York at Oneonta © 2018 Journal of Economics Teaching. All rights reserved. Harmon and Szarka / Journal of Economics Teaching (2018) 1. Background Although enrollments in online and blended versions of traditional courses are rising rapid- ly, recent research using randomized trials finds that exam scores for the control group taught in the traditional face-to-face format are higher than for the treatment group taught in the online format (Alpert 2016; Joyce 2015; Figlio 2010). Given the central role that graphs play in economics classes, one potential concern is that students don’t obtain enough practice creat- ing graphs when homework is completed online rather than by hand. Instructors who assign homework online for face-to-face classes may have a similar concern. Increased use of slides, especially when used by students in lieu of note-taking, may also mean that students are less actively engaged with graphs during lectures. Students who rely solely on the provided slides will miss the minimal, but potentially valuable, practice constructing graphs that tradition- al note taking allows, even if the instructor takes care to explain the process of constructing graphs step-by-step.

  • Architectures and Algorithms for Real-Time Web-Based Collaboration
    Architectures and Algorithms for Real-Time Web-Based Collaboration Cristian Gadea A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctorate in Philosophy degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Faculty of Engineering University of Ottawa © Cristian Gadea, Ottawa, Canada, 2021 \Great things are done by a series of small things brought together." Vincent Van Gogh ii Abstract Originating in the theory of distributed computing, the optimistic consistency control method known as Operational Transformation (OT) has been studied by researchers since the late 1980s. Algorithms were devised for managing the concur- rent nature of user actions and for maintaining the consistency of replicated data as changes are introduced by multiple geographically-distributed users in real-time. Web-Based Collaborative Platforms are now essential components of modern orga- nizations, with real-time protocols and standards such as WebSocket enabling the development of online collaboration tools to facilitate information sharing, content creation, document management, audio and video streaming, and communication among team members. Products such as Google Docs have shown that centralized web-based co-editing is now possible in a reliable way, with benefits in user produc- tivity and efficiency. However, as the demand for effective real-time collaboration between team members continues to increase, web applications require new syn- chronization algorithms and architectures to resolve the editing conflicts that may appear when multiple individuals are modifying the same data at the same time. In addition, collaborative applications need to be supported by scalable distributed backend services, as can be achieved with \serverless" technologies.
