Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 1Opportunities and Challenges in Designing a Blended International Student Project Activity: Experiences from the Epic Project(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018-04) Kuran, Mehmet Şükrü; Pedersen, Jens Myrup; van Hattum-Janssen, Natascha; Sole-Pareta, Josep; Pareta, Josep SoleIn this paper we explain our experiences and observations on a blended international teaching/training student project activity designed for students of different academic levels and programs at different universities working together on a project given by an industrial partner. This project activity is designed based on the EPIC project, funded by the Erasmus+ programme of the European Commission, which aims to provide a framework for carrying out multi-cultural and multidisciplinary student projects for increasing employability in an international job market. © 2018 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 2Moodle: Practical Advices for University Teachers(Springer Verlag service@springer.de, 2017-09-28) Pedersen, Jens Myrup; Kuran, Mehmet ŞükrüMoodle is a widely used Learning Management System, with a market share of 20% in the US/Canada and 65% in Europe. However, it is our experience that the system is too often used just as a website or repository for classical teaching material such as literature references, slides and problems for students to solve after the lectures, and that the fully potential of the platform is not exploited. In this paper we demonstrate some of the functionalities that university teachers can make use of to increase the learning experience of the students. For each of the features we demonstrate, we both show how it can be used, and give some didactic considerations. We have tested all of the presented features ourself in a blended learning course carried out as part of an Erasmus+ Strategic Partnership. © 2017 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Book Part Modulation in Molecular Signaling(Springer Science+Business Media, 2020) Yilmaz, Huseyin Birkan; Kuran, Mehmet Şükrü; Demirkol, IlkerConference Object Citation - Scopus: 13Learning Management Systems on Blended Learning Courses: An Experience-Based Observation(Springer Verlag service@springer.de, 2017-09-28) Kuran, Mehmet Şükrü; Pedersen, Jens Myrup; Elsner, RaphaelThis paper gives an overview of Learning Management System (LMS) features based on observations on a blended learning course under the Erasmus+ project COLIBRI. We explain the main features of LMSes under two main categories: accessibility content-related and underline the capabilities of four LMSes, Moodle, Blackboard Learn, Canvas, and Stud.IP with respect to these. We explain how these features were utilized to increase the efficiency, tractability, and quality of experience of the course. We found that an LMS with advanced features such as progress tracking, modular course support, interactive content support, and content access restriction is of paramount importance for blended learning courses. © 2017 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 2History-Themed Games in History Education: Experiences on a Blended World History Course(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018-04) Kuran, Mehmet Şükrü; Tozoğlu, Ahmet Erdem; Tavernari, CinziaIn this paper we explain our experiences and observations on a blended world history course which combines classical lecture and discussion elements as well as video game sessions in which the students play strategy video games with heavy historical focus. The course, named Playing with The Past, is designed to experiment on how to integrate video games on teaching history especially in order to achieve a higher understanding of the contemporary social, political, economical, and technological context of a given era for a given nation. We ran the course four times between 2015-2018 with different video game titles having different historical models and observe the experiences and learning of students based on the quality of their written essays and articles. Our experiments and observations could be beneficial not only for the design of a general world history course, but also for a history course on specific periods, cultures, and nations. © 2018 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 18Citation - Scopus: 38Channel Model of Molecular Communication Via Diffusion in a Vessel-Like Environment Considering a Partially Covering Receiver(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018-06) Turan, Meric; Kuran, Mehmet Şükrü; Yilmaz, Huseyin Birkan; Demirkol, Ilker; Tuǧcu, Tuna; Birkan Yilmaz, H.By considering potential health problems that a fully covering receiver may cause in vessel-like environments, the implementation of a partially covering receiver is needed. To this end, distribution of hitting location of messenger molecules (MM) is analyzed within the context of molecular communication via diffusion with the aim of channel modeling. The distribution of these MMs for a fully covering receiver is analyzed in two parts: angular and radial dimensions. For the angular distribution analysis, the receiver is divided into 180 slices to analyze the mean, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation of these slices. For the axial distance distribution analysis, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test is applied for different significance levels. Also, two different implementations of the reflection from the vessel surface (i.e., rollback and elastic reflection) are compared and mathematical representation of elastic reflection is given. The results show that MMs have tendency to spread uniformly beyond a certain ratio of the distance to the vessel radius. By utilizing the uniformity, we propose a channel model for the partially covering receiver in vessel-like environments and validate the proposed model by simulations. © 2018 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
