Building on previous researches, this study empirically tested the relationship between undergraduates' academic stress and their perceived psychological distress, and the moderating effects of psychological capital. Using a sample of 118 undergraduates from a university located in Northern China. The hierarchical regression analysis with SPSS 16.0 was employed to test the hypotheses. The results...
Association rule mining is a well-known data mining task for discovering association rules between items in a dataset. It has been successfully applied to different domains especially for business applications. However, the mined rules rely heavily on human interpretation in order to infer their semantic meanings. In this paper, we mine a new kind of association rules, called conceptual association...
On the basis of basic concept, characteristics and components of collaborative learning, this paper presents the importance of collaborative learning grouping, and then proposes an intelligent grouping method based on cluster analysis technology. At first, the paper introduces grouping criteria and methods centering on grouping strategy. Secondly, the paper presents concept of cluster analysis, variables...
This paper describes a study which aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of podcasting technology in teaching online courses. A sample group of 104 students, with an optional access to audio recordings (podcasts) of the course, completed an online questionnaire. Some ANOVA tests were done to compare the group of students who listened to the online recordings (33) with those who did not (71). The results...
With the rapid change of knowledge and information in this era of new technology, there has been an increasing need for professional development (PD). Due to some constraints in traditional PD activities, such as time and distance, online PD is drawing peoplepsilas attention. Online PD can benefit teachers. However, we need to know the strengths and weaknesses of online PD before investing a lot of...
In this paper, we introduce the exploitation of the advertising course in the Chinese national new century network course construction project. We make an in-depth discussion and analysis about the circumstances of the exploitation of the network course of the "ad design & facture on computer". We cite the case of this course which was ranked at the first time as the network course construction...
Event evolvement and topic shifting can affect the accuracy of event tracking. A dual-center event model is proposed to improve the event tracking process by adjust the some attributes of event dynamically. The detail of maintenance of the model is given. The experiment results show that the dual-center event can improve event tracking effectively under the condition of event evolvement and topic...
Online games have become a major leisure activity in recent years. Players go through a variety of social experiences, building up game communities such as guilds, blood pledges, and other small teams in virtual worlds. Game communities offer similar organizational experiences to those in real life. The game environment works as the third place where we can learn and develop our leadership skills...
The strong limit theorems is one of the central questions for studying in the international probability theory. The purpose of this paper is to give a strong limit theorem for functions of two-ordered Markov chains indexed by a kind of non-homogenous tree.
The objective of this study is to evaluate whether specialization has an impact on the E-Learning of universities. We identified organizational management dimension as our research site. With access to the teachers and staff members of E-Learning program, we obtained both qualitative and quantitative data from five universities for our factor analysis to define which variables are important, the results...
The paper discusses six characteristics of moodle to apply in distance education, and then analyzes a specific case to illustrate how to learn through distance education. The significance of this paper is to keep optimizing about moodle application.
With the innovation and application of information technology, blended learning has become a mainstream of learning in the future which combines traditional face-to-face classroom learning and Web-based learning through the Internet. The present study aims at investigating how blended learning has influenced six graders in an elementary school in Taiwan with different ability levels in their achievements...
In view of the construction of quality courses for network instruction, one of the essential questions is how to evaluate the quality courses website whether to suit the learners. This article proposes a new method, gives every learning-content page and testing exercise a serial number, which causes the collection and reorganization of data becoming easy. At the same time, the relation between behavior...
Modern distance education is a new Web-based form of education. Enhancing personalized teaching standard of distance learning site is an important and difficult research in the development of modern distance education. Based on rough set (RS), Web learners clustering model, learning features reduction and clustering algorithm are presented, which provides a basis of personalized teaching strategies...
The paper proposes a structured model for evaluating distance education system alternatives using the fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (FAHP). Selecting process of an alternative has been very important issue for education centers for years. The paper aims to demonstrate how FAHP model can help in solving such decisions in practice. The effectiveness of the FAHP model is illustrated using a company...
According to mathematical analysis, the primary components analysis (PCA) is used to analyze the effect of influential factors and characteristics on modern distance education (MDE). Based on PCA model and, the results are computed. Through case study, it can be seen that some factors and characteristics play very important role in influencing MDE and all factors and characteristics should be taken...
??Learning by doing?? and ??learning by teaching?? are two important concepts for human education. In this article, we demonstrate that these learning concepts can also be realized by intelligent, so-called organic computing systems. These organic agents either improve their skills by themselves, eventually assisted by a teacher, or they teach each other by exchanging learned rules. We show that ??learning...
From virtual learning environment point of view, to establish a supporting system for national teacher education technology training will benefit and solve a series of key issues that the training faced with, meanwhile, it will provide possibility for training assessment. this paper, starting from analyzing key characteristic of our teacher technology ability training supporting network, has described...
Distance-learning network has now become an important way for majority of teachers to teach graduate students, and the study of the network has also been concerned about the learning performance not the learning process. This paper, the authors choose the network course "network application in education" as an actual case, by analyzing the data of the status of network, they provide a number...
Some matters on online tutorship in graduation design are discussed, which are the definition of online tutorship and learning interaction, studentspsila preference to tutorship means for graduation design, learning loneliness and the vicarious interaction in online tutorship. The advantages of online tutorship are following: the flexibility management, sharing resources of teachers, information and...
