“…Despite the power of computer-based learning, research by Chou and colleagues has shown the importance of face-to-face teaching, and the importance of evaluating combinations of learning methods [10]. There are also numerous studies on the commuter-based learning for computing areas such as open source [11], computer programming [12], web learning [13] and so forth. Much research has been conducted on different forms of web-based learning such as e-learning [14], and effectiveness of MOODLE [15].…”

Abstract-Despite the availability of numerous learning opportunities ranging from face-to-face to computerbased learning, there is need for better understanding of how to support the development of cognitive skills in students. Research has shown that cultivation of mindfulness skills help to develop cognitive skills such as retention, thinking, problem solving, and emotional balance. However, there is only limited research on the effect of mindfulness training in educational settings. We examined cognitive abilities of university students as identified in Bloom"s taxonomy and mindfulness skills during a single traditional face-to-face class room session. We hypothesized that mindfulness is a specific cognitive ability that supports the development of other cognitive skills. This pilot study included 148 students from undergraduate and postgraduate programs at two universities in Sri Lanka. The study assessed cognitive abilities, including retention, thinking, out-of-the-box thinking, note-taking and mindfulness at the end of a onehour lecture. The results showed that students" selfreported mindfulness following a lecture was significantly lower than other cognitive abilities. These results suggest conducting a more formal controlled experiment to investigate the effect of mindfulness training in education.

Abstract-In this paper, the correlation between lecture attendance and assessment tasks on final exam performance of introductory programming students has been analyzed to identify if lecture attendance, and completion of in-class and take home formative assessment tasks affects student performance in the final examination. In this study, only lecture attendance, homework exercises and class demonstration scores, and final exam marks have been considered. This study used Spearman's Rank correlation coefficient and multiple regression techniques via SPSS software to analyze the student data of the academic years 2012, 2013 and 2014 of an introductory programming course to test the hypotheses. It is found that, there is a significant correlation between homework exercises and final exam scores. However, formal lecture attendance and final exam performance were negatively correlated. Moreover, multiple regression results of assessment tasks such as homework exercises, class activities and lecture attendance on final exam scores, did not provide any significant value to support the statement "Marks achieved in homework, class demonstrations, and lecture attendance, have a significant positive impact on final examination results".

E-learning and online exams have become norm of the day. E-learning and evaluation of what user has learnt through it, now spans all the disciplines of learning like science, arts, commerce, business, engineering and computer science. Online exams are used as tool for assessing large number of students at a faster pace. Automatic evaluation of concepts is one of the major part of online exams. In this paper the researchers have proposed an online examination system for creating and evaluating analog circuits. The researchers have taken into account electronic circuits that generates analog output and have evaluated and graded these circuits automatically based on its logical and functional aspects. The proposed system will save time and efforts put by faculty in evaluation of large number of students.
