In this paper, we propose designing a specific ontology for representing relevant aspects of affective phenomena in e-learning. The ontology is aimed to include the different types of emotions, moods and behaviors that students experience in the e-learning environments, the different types of feedback that teachers can provide to their students and the different effects in students' behavior during...
Both information and communication technologies and computer-supported collaborative learning have been widely adopted in many educational institutions. Likewise, general e-assessment processes offer enormous opportunities to enhance student's learning experience. In this context, e-Learning stakeholders are increasingly demanding new requirements and, among them, information security in e-Learning...
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...
Emotions strongly influence human's behavior in individual and social situations and must be seriously considered in any human activity, such as e-Learning. Indeed, the embedding of emotional awareness features into virtual learning environments could offer a more authentic and challenging e-Learning experience, either individual or collaborative. However, the lack of empirical results together with...
Trustworthiness and technological security solutions are closely related to online collaborative learning as they can be combined with the aim of reaching information security requirements for e-Learning participants and designers. In this paper, we justify the need of trustworthiness models as a functional requirement devoted to improve information security. To this end, we propose a methodological...
Over the last decade, information security has been considered a key issue in e-Learning design. Although security requirements can be met with advanced technological approaches and these solutions offer feasible methods in many e-Learning scenarios, on-line assessment activities usually show specific issues that cannot be solved with technology alone. In addition, security vulnerabilities in on-line...
This paper proposes a trustworthiness model for the design of secure learning assessment in on-line collaborative learning groups. Although computer supported collaborative learning has been widely adopted in many educational institutions over the last decade, there exist still drawbacks which limit their potential in collaborative learning activities. Among these limitations, we investigate information...
In this paper, we present the experimental results and evaluation of the Smart Box stimulation device for e-learning and medical applications in a P2P system which is based on JXTA-Overlay. The Smart Box is integrated with our P2P system as a useful tool for monitoring and controlling learners or patients activities. We found by experimental results that by Smart Box we can increase the learner's...
