Information and communication technologies have been widely adopted in most of educational institutions to support e-Learning through different learning methodologies such as computer supported collaborative learning, which has become one of the most influencing learning paradigms. In this context, e-Learning stakeholders, are increasingly demanding new requirements, among them, information security...
MOOCs or massive open online courses are a recent trend in online education. They combine online resources with social tools and have unique challenges due to the large number of simultaneous participants. This paper analyzes some of the challenges in the areas of MOOC design, delivery and assessment. Then the authors present an approach using software agents to overcome some of the challenges that...
Recent endeavors in mobile computing concentrateon analyzing the predictability of human behavior by means of mobility models synthesized from real mobile user traces. Currently, the main focus of such studies is physic allocation: discovering travel patterns, estimating real user movements and anticipating the whereabouts and dynamics of individuals. In this paper, we propose to widen the analyzed...
Online Learning and Virtual Campuses have become commonplace paradigms for distance teaching and learning. Unlike face to face teaching and learning methods in which teachers and managers can take decisions based on information from everyday classroom activities, decision making in online learning becomes more complex due to the online setting. Teachers need to get information from the online learning...
The rapidly growing amount of available digital documents of various formats and the possibility to access these through internet-based technologies in distributed environments, have led to the necessity to develop solid methods to properly organize and structure documents in large digital libraries and repositories. Specifically, the extremely large size of document collections make it impossible...
During the past few years much effort has been put into developing community-based methods to capture and analyse a large amount of data in a systematic manner. The concept of crowd-sourcing (also known as citizen science) becomes quite popular. This is mainly due to its distributed service orientation and its group intelligence problem solving production model. Parallel to this emerging technology,...
Recently there has been an increasing interest in exploring P2P technologies for developing groupware tools to support online learning activity. Among the many features that make P2P technology an important alternative to develop online learning systems is its fully decentralized nature as well as the possibility to customize the learning environments to the needs of groups of learners. In fact, in...
