This article examines the problems of distance learning and one of their possible solution. An adaptive learning system is described that allows to provide an individual approach when passing a course of study. An example of the response of an adaptive learning system to the actions of students while performing tasks and its proposal for a level change is given.
Online education constitutes an important component in the continuous growth / development of higher education and adult education. Its quality largely depends on the design rules and the evaluation standards of the programs as a whole as well as the study courses as component parts. The need to ensure the quality of online courses is a current issue. The paper proposes a system of standards, criteria...
Augmenting educational opportunities for rural village girls in India has been highlighted as a significant Millennium Development Goal (MDG) necessary to help eradicate poverty in developing countries. The role of proper electrification in rural villages, another MDG, plays a significant role in providing necessary energy for educational needs. In a small village in the state of Jharkhand, India...
The aim of this paper is to describe an exploratory study using an action research approach to improve student work based distance learners' independent research skills through an industrial project to increase their value to their employer. Students undertake a 20 credit industrial project with the key aim to develop on taught material and undertake independent research within the context of the...
Emotions have a strong impact on learning processes and regulation strategies. Increasing learners' awareness on their own emotions and group ones, has the potential to significantly improve learning processes. However, the collection of emotional data is challenging, especially in ecological contexts like distance learning and MOOCs. The lack of generic methods and tools for emotional data collection...
In this paper, we introduce a new approach of semisupervised anomaly detection that deals with categorical data. Given a training set of instances (all belonging to the normal class), we analyze the relationship among features for the extraction of a discriminative characterization of the anomalous instances. Our key idea is to build a model that characterizes the features of the normal instances...
The algorithm of expert evaluation of software tools to create distance courses using the Analytic Hierarchy Process is proposed, a system of criteria is developed and a hierarchical model of choice of optimal solution that improve the quality of the educational process through the use of innovative methods and technologies.
Assessment has long been seen as an important part of teaching and has shown to have an impact on how students approach learning. In this study students’ experience of assessment in an online introductory programming course is investigated. This is studied through semi-structured interviews, with seven students, which are analyzed using a phenomenographic research approach. The results consist of...
Online learning resources growth speed is in geometric series with the rapid development of computer and communication technology. Users in distance learning and training process encounter the problems of information loss and resource overload, the main reason is that the distance learning system can't effectively understanding of teaching resources semantic information, different structure of teaching...
Voice-based systems allow users access to information on the internet over a voice interface. Prior studies on Open and Distance Learning (ODL) e-examination systems that make use of voice interface do not sufficiently exhibit intelligent form of assessment, which diminishes the rigour of examination. The objective of this paper is to improve on the achievements of previous studies by providing a...
Distance learning is essential for students in remote areas. According to some investigations, there are more and more students taking online courses using smart phones. Nevertheless, there is a risk of privacy violation, if the distance learning system is not properly designed. In this paper, we design a privacy preserving scheme for distant learning, in which students use smart phones to access...
recently most college students use social media such as Facebook, WhatsApp, LINE, and YouTube every day as social interaction media. This research will show the common use of social media of college students for academic- related purposes. Social media have a good effect on self and performance students. A questionnaire survey was self-administered directly to students and quantitative descriptive...
In 2013, a program called ‘Mathematics Digital Practice Office’ (CDM), was created at the School of Engineering of the University of Porto (FEUP). Its goals were to offer the students of mathematical courses (curricular units), more opportunities (besides contact hours/classes) to train the exercises, to clarify remaining and last minute doubts and to test their knowledge on the subjects throughout...
The most important task of the modern education system is implementation of individual educational trajectory of each student. In this regard, adaptation of the educational process to personality development of each student becomes extremely necessary. One of the ways of tackling the ensuing problem is e-learning as a model of organization of interaction between the teacher, student and information...
Educational resources and transportation infrastructure scarcity has become the major obstructions for Indonesian education development. To solve these problems, Virtual Class Box (VCB) 5.0 device is designed as an effort to support digital distance learning. It provides videoconference to connect teachers and students from different school. This paper explains the design and implementation of a videoconference...
The concept of distance learning system refers to the way of learning which is not in regular face-to-face method, but through any means of long distance communication. Realization of distance learning system in Indonesia is usually in one-way communication manner, that is, students can not directly interact with teachers. This paper describes the design and implementation of a web-based application...
The architecture of remote Education Resource Center for the students of engineering on the basis of data space is developed. The consolidated data catalog and the query processing schemes in data space are proposed.
A changing society needs multiple mechanisms of action and intervention that encourages the development of skills and the subsequent process of prosperity of nations and social justice. Vocational distance training plays an important role in promoting skills and solving problems as the lack of specialized professionals or the need for retraining or upgrading assets. We advocate that educational research...
The paper reviews typical arrangements of multi-campus delivery of Engineering Programmes and identifies Quality Assurance (QA) issues that need to be addressed. A blended learning model, integrating both face-to-face and online delivery is proposed. The proposed model is shown to bridge the gap between learning experiences of students following an engineering programme at different geographical locations.
Colleges and universities are entering a new age where the learning process is no more within the classroom. This learning is enriched by new instructional technologies and online interaction that enables the spectrum of in-classroom through distance learning. Students benefit from the ability to choose the mix of course types that best fits their learning style and availability of time. The primary...
