Problem Statement: In recent years, the substantial technological development in various online environments has been used in educational environments. However, these online environments are still new for many teachers, researchers and students. Thus, researchers have attempted to determine the discourse patterns of these environments from different perspectives. Social presence is one of these dimensions; however, there has been little research on social presence in synchronous CMC environments. This study will contribute to the literature on social presence in synchronous CMC environments.

Social Presence Functions in Task-Based Language Activities in a Virtual Classroom in Second Life
Akayoğlu, Sedat; Seferoğlu, Gölge (null, 2017-01-01)
As the developments occurred in terms of technology, new tools and platforms started to be used in classroom settings. However, there is a need for discourse analysis of these tools and environments in order to better understand the flow of communication. This study aimed at determining discourse patterns in terms of social presence observed in a course carried out in a 3D environment, Second Life. At the end of the study, it was found that the most frequently used social presence functions were expression ...

İşbirlikli Mimari Tasarım Eğitiminde Sanal Dünya Kullanımı
Gül, Leman Figen (Middle East Technical University, Faculty of Architecture, 2011)
Üç Boyutlu (3B) sanal dünyaların işbirlikli tasarım eğitiminde gelişen bir bilişim aracı olarak kullanılması son yıllarda artan bir kabul görmeye başlamıştır. Bu makalede 3B sanal dünyaların mimari tasarım eğitiminde kullanımına dair bir atölye çalışması konu edilmiştir. Öğrenciler uzak coğrafyadaki takım arkadaşlarıyla birlikte sanal dünyada bir ev tasarlamışlardır. Newcastle Üniversitesi (Avustralya) ile Rangsit Üniversitesi’ndeki (Tayland) mimarlık öğrencilerinin katılımıyla gerçekleştirilen bu sa...
Investigation of Fatih Project within the scope of teachers school administrators and yegıtek adminisrators opinions A multiple case study
Gök, Ali; Yıldırım, Zahide (Mersin Üniversitesi, 2015-01-01)
Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) affected educational environments as well as other areas. Recently, in Turkey, the government has initiated a project, FATİH Project (Movement of Enhancing Opportunities and Improving Technology Project).

For the success of the FATİH Projects, not only how teachers perceive those technologies, but also what the school administrators’ and project administrators’ opinio...
Speech recognition on mobile devices in noisy environments
Yurtcan, Yaser; Günel Kılıç, Banu (2018-05-05)
The use of speech recognition on mobile devices has been possible with the development of cloud systems and has been used for about 10 years. However, in noisy environments, the problem of speech recognition with low error rate still persists. In this study, different speech samples have been recorded using a compact microphone array in noisy environments and a data set has been created by processing them with a real-time noise cancellation algorithm. Speech recognition performance has been tested on the ge...
