Web-based instructional systems implement constructive learning models, in which the user has control over the learning stages, as well as over the building stages of its own cognitive structures. This model has obvious advantages, but it may fail for closed cognitive style users. To solve this problem many solutions have been attempted: extension of surfing functions offered by the instructional...
Thanks to the drastic proliferation of Internet, e-learning has been recognized as an effective media for various kinds of learners. However, the tremendous course materials in the Internet may make learners be confused in choosing their suitable course materials. In this paper, we propose an approach to construct an adaptive curriculum portfolio recommendation system. It offers tailored course materials...
The objective of this study is to discuss the problems to be come across in new generation web based educational system designs and the solutions derived for these problems. Some of the objects of “challenges” in education applications are formation of domain models belonging to the applications, determination of user knowledge states and formation of adaptive content, link and navigation maps. The...
Learning styles and affective states have a significant effect on student learning. The aim of this paper is to present a concept to identify and integrate learning styles and affective states of a learner into web-based learning management systems and therefore providing learners with adaptive courses and additional individualized pedagogical guidance that is tailored to their learning styles and...
Delivery options for mobile learning are increasing, however new technologies alone will not improve the experience of mobile learners. There are a number of factors that impact on a typical learning experience, and many more when that learning experience becomes `mobile'. This paper presents a framework to describe the factors that play an important role in delivering learning content to mobile learners,...
Task-based language teaching, as a learner-centered and humanistic way of teaching, involves the learners in performing tasks. Learners' needs analysis, which acts as the principal part in language teaching, will influence the curriculum design, teaching process, teaching methodology and teaching outcomes and elicit relative pedagogical implications.
Adaptive Educational Hypermedia systems (AEH) enhance learning by adaptation and personalisation. As a consequence, wide ranging knowledge and learning content are needed. Problems then emerge in the provision of suitable authoring tools to carry out the authoring process which is complex and time consuming. Based on the fact that former research studies on authoring have identified drawbacks in collaboration,...
Curriculum sequencing is one of the most appealing challenges in Web-based learning environments: the success of a course mainly depends on the system capability to automatically adapt the learning material to the student's educational needs. Here we address the problem of how to compare and to test different curriculum sequencing algorithms in order to reason about them in a self-contained and homogeneous...
This paper will present some existing and on-line accessible Web-based educational systems, and the adaptation theory which is integrated in those systems.
Creating exercises for learners requires significant time. This is one reason, beside difficulties of discussing individualized tasks in a classroom setting, why often only few exercises are created and posed to all learners alike. In Web-based autonomous learning the setting problem is removed, while simultaneously demand for individualized exercises, comparable to adaptive learning material, increases...
Pressure Ulcers (PrU) are a severe health problem to patients and a major financial burden to the national health service of the UK. The education of nurses, patients, and their careers plays a significant role in PrU prevention. Internet-based learning has offered a flexible and relatively cheap method for delivering the teaching of evidence-based practices, however, the current online education...
In this paper, a new user modeling approach has been developed to determine the knowledge status of user in Adaptive Educational Hypermedia System (AEHS). The approach is based on forming the domain model and determining relations among elements of that model to decide the knowledge status of user from domain model independently. The proposed method provides flexibility to individual learning or studying...
Starting from two industrial collaborative engineering cases, the paper introduces the concept of task patterns for support of fast and flexible product design in networked manufacturing enterprises. Task patterns are reusable models of enterprise knowledge capturing best practices for typical collaboratively performed design tasks. Furthermore, the main elements of a Web-based collaboration infrastructure...
In this work we present the early design steps of a system for supporting person-centered learning (PCL), focusing on the process of transforming PCL principles into system specifications. Although person centered learning has gained significant attention in higher education, it is not clear how the instructor can be efficiently supported to manage the additional workload emerging from the effort...
Collaboration scripts are didactic scenarios that guide and support groups of learners in collaborative learning. Adaptive collaboration scripting is the idea that collaboration scripts can be adapted during run time in several of their aspects, to provide learning experiences tailored to individual and group characteristics. In order to build systems that support this type of adaptation, one needs...
