Adaptive and Intelligent Educational Systems are interesting resources for supporting teaching-learning activities. Such environments make use of intelligent techniques to adapt educational content to the real needs of students. With the increasing amount of educational content becoming available, there is a good reason to believe that smart data analysis and machine learning techniques will become...
Smart devices applications can assist children in improving their learning capabilities and comprehension skills. However most applications are built without taking into consideration the effective needs and background of Arab children and youth. They are somehow incompatible with their local environment. We propose in this paper an Arabic-based mobile educational system that displays illustrations...
E-learning systems are becoming a fundamental mean of education delivery. Recently, data mining techniques have been utilized by tutors and researchers to analyze students learning with the aim to get deeper sight of it and improve the quality of the educational procedures. In this paper, we present a methodology to analyze students learning and extract semantic rules that can be used to predict student's...
Knowledge-based approach and knowledge-based systems were the object of research in MENTAL project in 2008-2011. Team, in addition to meeting the project objectives, focused on the broader context and further application of the knowledge system (KS), which is presented in the article. KS is listed in Data mining, KS support for Linux distributions and KS, created by students in the classroom. The...
The field of education has always been closely connected with information and communication technologies (ICT). Currently, we perceive that digital and network technologies increase in their importance where the Web plays a central role. In an application of online learning, Web is used as representative supports for producing, managing and distributing contents. This space is evolving rapidly and...
With the growing number of web services ,the importance of matching and discovery web services is increasing. Using domain ontology to describe the semantic of web services and matching the web services on the semantic level is a hot research pot. In this paper, the problem of matching web services is transformed to the computation of semantic similarity between concepts in domain ontology. We propose...
The communication between the teachers and students is very important in network education. Question-answering system can resolve the problem. This paper proposes a question answering platform in network education and then introduces the kernel module which is the answer extraction based on FAQ and ontology in detail. The paper describes the similarity algorithm between the student question and the...
A formal model of a knowledge base system consisting of a domain knowledge base and a user knowledge base in intelligent tutoring systems is presented in this paper. The domain knowledge base is represented by 3-level structure: subject level, knowledge concept level and learning material level; and ontologies are introduced in order to improve the sharing and reusing of multimedia teaching materials...
Chiefly aiming at the math educational resource search and distribution status in the present educational field, this paper researched how to improve the intellectualized level of the resources search and distribution as well as the independent choosing ability. The distribution system included individualized resources component module, intelligent resource search module and intelligent resound distribution...
Educational content is often shared among different educators and is enriched, adapted and in general repurposed so that it can be re-used in different contexts. This paper discusses educational content and content repurposing in medical education, presenting different repurposing contexts. Finally, it proposes a novel approach to content repurposing via Web 2.0 social networking of learning objects...
Current opportunities for students to improve their knowledge in a certain domain (e.g. computer science) through interaction with computer-based educational environments are increasing. The large number of students using such systems and their different knowledge and goals motivate the use of technologies to provide personalized activities, resources, and content to the students. Such environments...
INES (INtelligent Educational System) is a functional prototype of an online learning platform, which combines three essential capabilities related to e-learning activities. These capabilities are those related to Learning Management Systems, Learning Content Management Systems, and Intelligent Tutoring Systems. To carry out all these functionalities, our system, as a whole, comprises a set of different...
An important challenge of realizing the vision of Grid computing that heterogeneous resources are shared in dynamic and multi-institutional virtual organization is that users need to locate, find, select and invoke appropriate Grid services on demand. However, at the current stage, both Grid resource description and discovery mechanisms are still at an immature stage. This paper presents a semantic...
Research orientated universities face a conundrum. On the one hand research areas are increasing and expanding; on the other research resources are - in relative terms - diminishing. As a consequence a more active approach to shaping the institutional research profile is called for. This presupposes a clear view of research activities at the institution, but this is notoriously lacking, universities...
The Web forum is the popular platform used for C++ program learning in which learners can discuss and solve the encountered problems collaboratively. The process of discussions for specific topics in the forum is most likely the inquiry-based learning. Discovering the students' inquiry behavior models in the forum is helpful for teachers to support the guidance during the inquiry-based learning. In...
The types and the ways to organizing network education resources are surveyed. The multilingual thesaurus-ontology is explained. Then it discusses application of multilingual thesaurus-ontology in the organization of network education resources. The purpose of the application is to make network education resources maintain automatically, by the characteristic of self-learning and auto-evolution of...
Aiming at the special requirements oriented to the education field, this paper proposes an intelligent search system based on semantic Web. Under the guidance of the users' needs and the proposed education information intelligent search (EIIS) framework, the EIIS reasoning mechanism and its relevant rule sets are constructed to automatically reason the search concepts in order to self-adapt semantics...
The classical algorithms for mining association rule require the user to specify a support threshold to determine if an itemset is frequent or not. Unfortunately, the setting of support threshold is subjective without clear standard and has great influence on the mining results. In this paper we propose an intelligent minimum support suggestion framework with the help of the user preference ontology...
E-learning has a various established approaches to the creation and sequencing of content-based, single learner, and self-paced learning objects. However, there is little understanding of how to create sequences of learning activities which involve groups of learners interacting within a structured set of collaborative environments. This paper describes an approach of learning activity sequencing...
In this paper a Web-based adaptive educational system to support personalized distance learning, which is named MENTOR is presented. The main purpose of MENTOR is to support learnerpsilas actions during the learning process in an affective way. To achieve this MENTOR incorporates an affective module which enhances the traditional learning practices with an affective dimension. The affective module...
