In recent years, leveraging big data technology to education domain draws attention. The retention rate of student on campus may be significantly improved if an early alert system based on data analysis is setup and the intervention is appropriately deployed. However, to the best of our knowledge, the existing proposed early alert systems take the whole participants in a group or one single class...
In the era of big data, analytics plays a crucial role in the educational domain. In this paper, we design a framework to explore the value of a data-driven decision making process. Curriculum design at the departmental level is chosen as an example to illustrate the whole system and process.
One of the most persistently difficult aspects of vocabulary for foreign language learners is collocation. This paper describes a browser-based agent that assists learners in acquiring collocations in context during their unrestricted Web browsing. The agent overcomes the limitations imposed by learner models in traditional ITS. Its capacity to function in noisy unscripted contexts derives from a...
Multi-channel MAC protocols have attracted much attention because they possess the ability to boost the capacity of wireless ad hoc networks. In previous works, a lot of multichannel protocols, such as DCCB[1-2], HB[4], and SB[5-7], have been proposed to cope with the rendezvous problem and efficiently utilize the bandwidth resources. However, these protocols might cause the channel traffic unbalance...
For most English learners, reading English articles has always been a good way of improving the English proficiency. However, it is not easy to select interesting English articles of adequate difficulty vocabulary level. The purpose of this work is to devise a mechanism for selecting appropriate English articles for ESL learners in Taiwan. The proposed mechanism works by indicating whether a particular...
Learners can listen to music and read the synchronous lyrics using this mobile music playing application. The proposed system will make questions that correspond to lyrics for EFL (English as Foreign Language) learners studying. This approach focuses on retrieving verb-noun collocations and making appropriate questions automatically. BNC (British National Corpus) has been chosen to calculate mutual...
With the birth of Web 2.0, the development of the Internet has entered a new age. In addition to constant changes in information technology, Internet user behavior is radically different than in the past. However, as an educational tool, the application of Web 2.0 is still in its infancy. In this paper, we develop IWiLL 2.0, an online learning community based around the core concepts of Web 2.0. According...
Online learning communities are gradually altering the traditional learning style of people because of the pervasiveness of the Internet. The environment of the online learning community has been formed gradually as more and more people join Web sites and learn from each other. A total of 436 senior high school students in Taiwan participated in this research. To test the hypotheses of this research,...
In this research, we used a proxy server to search for information related to the userpsilas browsed Web pages. From the records of the proxy server we constructed a profile of the userpsilas browsing habits. At the end of the userpsilas search subsystem, we will use content based concept to extract keywords to obtain the articlepsilas characteristicspsila description. From the recommendation system,...
In this paper, a webpage reading recommendation system is constructed through the concept of meta search and article summary technique. The designed system recommends webpages that are related to the current webpage, to provide the user with further reading material. Using article-searching mechanism, the ESL student can avoid using keyword-based search method, thereby greatly decreasing the time...
It has become a trend to integrate automatic industries via Internet and wireless applications over network. Along with the advancement of technology development, research on wireless applications and remote control has become significant and popular today. Thus, we have designed and implemented a teaching platform with wireless applications and remote control using GSM system in the mobile-PLC (M-PLC)...
