The improvement in quality of services offered by educational institutions is one of the main challenges of the modern education informatics. The personalization of educational process requires adaptive learning schemes since the student status and conditions inside an institution constantly change. In this paper, we present the EDUC8 (EDUCATE) system, which aims at providing a new approach concerning...
In this paper, we present a big data software architecture that uses an ontology, based on the Experience API specification, to semantically represent the data streams generated by the learners when they undertake the learning activities of a course, e.g., in a course. These data are stored in a RDF database to provide a high performance access so learning analytics services can process the large...
New technologies in education has driven the development of many investigations into pedagogy, which has led to the emergence of new computing mechanisms that contribute to the improvement of education quality. This paper aims to contribute to a process that monitors the progress of skills through the identification of learning styles and semantic elements in order to identify problems in academic...
Cloud Computing technologies turn traditional distance education mode to distance education cloud mode. Service Lifecycle Management technology is introduced to manage application services integrated in distance education cloud and a definition of service lifecycle state mode is given. Then, some key technologies related to Service Lifecycle Management are studied, including service monitoring technology...
Learning Content Management System (LCMS) is a powerful tool for supporting distance learning. One of the LCMS development problems is subject searching. Most users have no idea about subject name of what they are looking for. They only know about subject contents. Nowadays, search engine embedded with LCMS gives result based on string matching keyword based. Precision and recall of this method is...
Semantic Web technologies seem to be a promising technological foundation for the next generation of e-learning systems. Although ontologies have a set of basic implicit reasoning mechanisms derived from the description logic which they are typically based on (such as classification, relations, instance checking, etc.), they need rules to make further inferences and to express relations that cannot...
This paper provides an agent based on an otology that helps instructors to guide the process of selecting teaching and learning strategies. We present an approach of ontology representation based on a novel architecture of agent-based simulation of teaching and learning process. We propose a conceptual architecture of such system. There are presented several aspects, how the usage of ontologies for...
The grid is emerging as a wide-scale distributed computing infrastructure that promises to support resource sharing and coordinated problem solving in dynamic multi-institutional virtual organizations. To describe data, the Web service issues have been extended with a relevance of grids in education. To successfully summarize this in terms of a Web service implementation strategy for a hypothetical...
E-Learning has been a topic of increasing interest in recent years, effective E-Learning distributed environments should promote high cooperation. This paper proposes a novel E-Learning architecture along with an implementation approach to build efficient E-Learning applications. In this architecture, E-Learning infrastructure uses the Grid technology which chooses the best available resources for...
With the development of the Web and the intense research for a semantic Web, the need arises for standardized and rigorous semantic specification both of services on the semantic Web and of the objects and processes that these services offer to a potential client. In this report, our focus is with learning services, i.e. Web services whose purpose is to offer educational services to clients. Such...
It is important to sharing knowledge among the variant actors in universities and institutes. However todaypsilas widely used tools for knowledge sharing are much ineffective, which displays as either lack of semantics or inconvenience to use. In order to resolve the both deficiencies, paper introduces to P2P knowledge sharing system with folksonomies. A unified concept named knowledge space for representing...
The dynamics of business and software engineering in the flattened world poses both challenges and opportunities in terms of pedagogical exploration and innovative experiments. A generic pedagogical scenario is to serve the purpose by incorporating two empiricist approaches in management education to emphasize situated authentic experiences in context. A case contextualized game for software project...
SEAM is an enterprise architecture method based on RM-ODP part 2. In this paper, we present an example of a SEAM hierarchical model where the behavioral part is formalized in Alloy. We introduce four kinds of actions and their relationships to properties that specify object state. We show that the Alloy formalization enables us to check that the SEAM model conforms to the required aspects of the universe...
In this paper we propose a way to facilitate the issue of discovering the eGovernment services that address a citizen's need. This approach is implemented in an application, which we call a semantic portal. The semantic portal is part of our SemanticGov project architecture. The portal's components and its architecture are presented and explained. The portal's conceptual modeling is based on the generic...
