Technology-enhanced learning is not just interacting with learning objects. Physical labs are another useful resource in education, especially for engineering and science education. They are confined to the physical location they are bound to. It is obviously interesting for any learning process to be able to open up this access from remote locations in the same effective way as learning objects are...
In 2005 an integrated blended e-learning service based on Moodle Learning Management System (LMS), was introduced in Silesian University of Technology, Gliwice, Poland. Review of LMS content shows that some courses contain insufficient number of components, and in many cases the quality of resources is poor. The goal of our research was to identify why some teachers are reluctant to utilize LMS. A...
This Special Session is going to present some of the activities carried out by the Excellence Network on e-learning that is being funded in the Region of Madrid, called eMadrid. They are related to the application of open source principles in the educational context and in opening up the alternatives to the learner.
E-learning combines the use of new multimedia technologies and the Internet in order to improve the quality of learning by facilitating access to resources and sources, exchanges and remote collaboration. Today LMS (Learning Management Systems) are quite ubiquitous and choosing one is difficult. These LMS often share the same features: lacking in ergonomics or being only used as documents repositories...
The work presents our experience as designers, developers and administrators of an e-Learning system (LMS) used by the Faculty of Economics of the University of Trento. The system started its work in the late 90s and was then rewritten under the increasing need of the users to promote new more collaboration-oriented forms of teaching / learning, compared to traditional ones. Currently we are managing...
Nowadays, there are a great number of universities and organizations working in e-learning solutions. One of most well-known is the learning management system or LMS that allow displaying theoretical content in an organized and controlled way. In some jobs and studies it is necessary that the student get a practical knowledge as well as a theoretical knowledge. To obtain this practical knowledge,...
On many Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) engineering courses there is no opportunity for students to begin studying a subject and gain specialist knowledge straightaway, since their prior knowledge of the specific control system software is too generalized. A virtual classroom has been developed to deal with this problem. It has been proven that, by using this classroom, students are able to independently...
Information and Communication Technologies have enabled us to gather much more information, to process it better and to disseminate it to anybody in the world. So, these technologies appeared to be one of the most powerful tools for educators. The experience or the University of Deusto in applying a Competence-Base Learning Model supported in an LMS and the results of the adoption of this Learning...
This paper examines the inputs of two different processes and the linkage between those processes. The processes examined in this paper are e-Teaching and e-Learning. Many conferences and journals are devoted to publishing on e-learning while in most cases they address the issues of e-teaching, which is a different process. In recent years Universities around the world are competing to take advantage...
The paper describes a concept of a modern laboratory dedicated to education in the area of data communications. The laboratory is being built according to an analysis of pedagogical needs with respect to the recent trends, attempting to make the most of e-learning, access to virtual processes, flexible personal attendance and lectures on demand.
A lot of learning management systems (LMS) were developed in the last ten years since e-learning opens new possibilities in learning scenarios. They offer the possibility to watch any of the students action on the computer, but possibilities to verify the level of knowledge, a student has reached (accordingly to Bloompsilas taxonomy), are very poor. Multiple choice questions and the like can only...
