This article presents a survey of the factors that indicate evasion in distance education, as well as the data mining techniques that are being used in the detection of evasion. As a methodology, we have used the systematic review, analyzing the works published in the last five years. The result indicated that there are multiple factors that influence evasion, which were systematized in four dimensions,...
With the help of Internet, Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC) are recognized as a new path to learn courses via the web instead of in the traditional classrooms. MOOC can break many limits such as distance, time, participants, on the traditional courses. At the same time, it brings some new issues, such as high drop out ratio. Nowadays increasing MOOC courses are available and even more common people...
Questions are essential components for assessment of learners' knowledge in teaching - learning environments. The questions should be developed related to tasks of the instructional objectives associated with a learning object. It is expected that a given set of question will cover maximum possible topics under an instructional objective. By analyzing the response to these questions, instructors are...
With the development of economic and information technology, more and more people use mobile phone to surf the internet. The purpose of this paper is to examine the factors of mobile phone data flow service adoption. The Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) is used as a theoretical framework, and survey data are collected from 537 Chinese nationals. The results from structural...
Many professionals think that predesigned solutions could solve the problem regardless the nature, individual attributes and culture of the different countries. Developed countries have huge computing infrastructures which make data handling and sharing through local and global networks easy and mandatory to every user. However, usually developing and undeveloped countries is lack of computing infrastructures...
An Automatic Teaching Materials Construction System based on Mashup is proposed in this paper. The main design concept is to establish a Mashup Data model to obtain the resources on Social Network. Furthermore, using ontology as a rule, the resources are effectively, automatically classified and integrated. The will be able to reduce the digital teaching materials required to spend large amount of...
This paper describes a conceptual framework for implementing Intelligent Tutoring Systems using SCORM 2004. The main objective is to discuss how the SCORM 2004 sequencing and navigation specification can allow the development of Intelligent Web-Based Learning Environments using the sequencing and navigation tracking data, and rule set. Our main argument is that SCORM 2004 sequencing and navigation...
A real-time, interactive video distribution system on Internet for large-scale users faces three bottlenecks: real-time performance, interactive performance and bandwidth pressure. This paper, based on the approach to establish a Real-time Peer-to-Peer network (RTP2P) with the minimum video data delay as the primary goal, and establish a hybrid framework of P2P and centralized networks, argues that...
Advanced computer systems can be reached from everywhere in higher education institutions. Quick development of hardware and software resources needs frequent revising of concepts and methods for the application of computers at teaching and learning processes. The authors of this paper joined to efforts for creating concepts and method for the practical application of known higher university course...
There are many Web-based curriculums in which the chapter navigation is designed as directory tree. In most cases, developing the directory tree requires a large quantity of code and the chapter navigation lacks flexibility as well as extensibility. In our method, we rationally integrated EXTJS with WEBWORK in the JAVA platform. The EXTJS code was directly introduced on the JSP page. The data required...
High number of approaches and methods has been developed in the course of attempts to establish higher education programs on the Internet. The most frequent difficulties emerge from not enough systematic descriptions and restriction of implementation of the teaching and learning processes to administrative methods. Although, application methods from object modeling are promising, appropriate representations...
Without prudent application of instructional design, the process of learning simply boils down to an optimistic experimentation rather than an enlightened guidance. Predominantly, learners are not exposed to the instructional design process that the instructor followed to rationalize the resultant pedagogy. In fact, learners are led to believe that learning is a by-product of effective exposure to...
An evergreen problem is application of information technology in teaching and learning processes. Very special data structures, communications, and algorithms are required. In higher education, long experience with distance learning and application of Internet environments generate new and new ideas and methods. A possible enhancement of model based virtual classroom methodology is discussed in this...
In order to provide the personal service for online system, a personalized recommendation system framework based on Web mining is proposed. Individual recommendations in accordance with userpsilas custom and interest can improve the quality of service.
Sophisticated computer description based on interrelated object models are advanced stores of information to be collected and applied during various fields of activities. The authors of this paper studied some advancements in object models for the description of course related groups of objects. They discuss several issues from this area that are considered to be important for the future development...
The structure of the system for the study of notions and terms of subject domain with an unclear structure is considered, in particular, the structure of data-base system. The proposed system allows to create new educational courses regardless of subject domain, to automatize teaching of users after these courses, to carry out diagnostics of knowledge and manage teaching. The system provides the possibility...
This paper introduces some new analysis results by the authors in possibilities for introduction of virtual methods based higher education courses in teaching and learning practice. They evaluated some recently published modeling methods considering the fact that the demand for e-learning in engineering is generated by frequent and substantial changes of industrial technology that require lifetime...
As the quick development of Internet, more and more application of XML data description appears in the Internet. How to access the knowledge we need effectively among numerous XML data is becoming a main research direction. This paper studies the data mining of XML document initially, divides the mining of XML document into structure mining and content mining, introduces the knowledge to analyze by...
A synthesis framework integrates data from multiple sources, enables on-demand execution of scientific workflows, and associates data outputs with multiple visualization and analysis widgets in a dynamically generated Web application. This poster presents animplementation of NCSA's digital synthesis framework (DSF) that incorporates a state-of-the-artgeneric crop growth simulation model and historicweather...
With the development and popularization of Internet, distance education has already entered the stage based on Web. Due to the shortcomings of traditional methods in developing Web application, the MVC (model-view-controller) pattern is introduced. The separation of logic programming from interface design is effectively archived by the three kinds of technology correlated with Java: JSP, Servlet and...
