The development of educational policies that improve educational systems needs intelligent automated tools for decision making. This need has motivated the development of a new system which can help teachers, schools, and decision makers in enhancing students' performance. The primary concern here is to monitor the students and help the teachers in building action plans that improve students' performance...
In open and distance education field, making use of data mining technologies to understand students' practical needs and usage habits about professional courses, which will greatly enhance students learning. China Open University system is Chinese largest scale organization engaging in open and distance education, and it has taken Chinese education ministry's a rural education project, called "one...
This article aims to describe, in brief, the formation process of the Pedagogical Standard for the Analysis of Virtual Learning Environments. This Standard is a tool that is intended to aid subjects in the process of choosing a particular Virtual Learning Environment through an analysis including the pedagogical aspects of these environments. The qualitative approach was adopted in the methodological...
Curricula of the Universities and especially of the Universities of Applied Sciences should be, in the best case, developed in such way, that graduates' knowledge should reflect contemporary requirements of the industry, without to losing the assertion of universality as the central perspective of the higher education. This awareness is often identified, but in the real case, the organization of the...
One of the most important segments of the university education process management seems to be the student knowledge verification as well as support of the monitoring and assessment of the quality of educational programs and related processes. The organization of the examination tests, as well as, the process and methods of student knowledge verification can take a lot of time. This paper elaborates...
In this paper we will talk about an approach for online course publishing that has not been exploited totally, the creation of an education platform using cloud computing. This approach allows to see a new tool for its use as innovative educational technology. In the first instance, the rapid growth of social networks has proposed a tendency to create collaborative spaces, with no educational purposes,...
Tourism is an indispensable part of our life nowadays. At the same time, DIY tours become more and more popular. Traditionally, people have to spend a lot of time browsing websites and reading travel notes to select a suitable tourist route. With the help of tourist routes recommendation system, people can obtain their tourist routes satisfying their demands automatically. We improve a tourist routes...
Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC) is a trending phenomenon in online education. Number of participants in a MOOC and the number of MOOCs by platforms and courses are appearing to be increasing at a tremendous level. Although MOOC found to be the “buzz” word, latest reports claim that the hype of the MOOC is fading. One reason to this is because many MOOCs offered and created despite of evaluating...
The present study describes a proposed multitable top system for supporting collaborative database design activities in the classroom. Additionally, two experiments were conducted to evaluate students' and teachers' perceptions of the proposed system potential on aspects of group work assessment such as: ease of grading individuals as well as groups, equality of students' participation, and, capability...
Knowledge Management (KM) is a new, evolving computing paradigm based on a collection of processes that govern the creation, dissemination, and utilization of knowledge. We present and discuss a novel method, Systematic Knowledge Pattern (SKP), based on utilizing innovative computing tools for teaching KM. The SKP builds on powerful computing tools employing generic logic-based problem-solving methods...
This article att1empted to build a network based classroom for users to communicate with each other and edit collaboratively based on the CSCW concept. It proposed a web based “Online Collaborative Editor System” which based on CSCW to establish a visualized collaborative learning group to prompt the discussion, communication and experience sharing between teachers and students, students and students...
Software engineers are expected to possess a variety of technical, social and personal competencies to be well prepared for real world working environments. At the German University in Cairo (GUC), we were able to guide large groups of students into becoming self managing and self learning communities whose members work together as a team to build large scale software. The students were able to experience...

Starting from the implementation of software engineering, a model-driven development approach for agent-based intelligent applications is proposed in this paper on the basis of software architecture. Platform independent models for the agents are built firstly. Then, by integrating different functional agents such as user agent, management agent, task agent, the approach succeeds in transforming models...
Artificial intelligence technology used in network tutoring system has led to a revolutionary effect on educational notions. This paper analyzes present tutoring system, and put forward a model of intelligent network teaching system based on agent based on study on modern teaching theory and its related application technology on computers. The module partition of intelligent tutoring system based...
In many application areas, there is a need for inter-disciplinary collaboration and education. However, such collaboration and education are not easy. On the example of our participation in a cyberinfrastructure project, we show that many obstacles on the path to successful collaboration and education can be overcome if we take into account that each person's knowledge of a statement is often a matter...
