Information and Communication Technologies have changed the way people live and work. In the education field, the ICT evolution is increasingly supporting innovative methods of learning and many universities are investing in creating their own e-Learning Environments. Besides, learners' performance still and issue, the social learning theory states that people can learn by observing the behavior of...
Recent research has confirmed the impact of electronic media usage on student outcomes. However, little is known about the impact of measurable reading access to a forum and other resources. We have developed a tool to study this aspect through visual analysis. Results from this study showed that not only participation on electronic discussion for a, such as reading or posting, but also the reading...
Cloud computing technologies have been widely adopted to improve the competitiveness and efficiency of core operations in many enterprises through additional computational resources and/or storage as provided on the underlying cloud platforms. Yet there are relatively few studies on how cloud computing may enhance students' understanding of a specific subject in e-learning systems. In a research project...
In this research, we developed a framework of e-learning analytics for asynchronous forums. The framework has been used to collect data and to compute indicators for analyzing the teaching style and behavioral patterns of online asynchronous interaction. The result helps us get a deeper insight into the dynamics of a discussion forum. The value of the e-learning analytics framework has been verified...
With the significant growth in the cloud-based systems, many industries give their attention to cloud computing solutions. E-learning is a promising application area since its typical requirements such as dynamically allocation of computation and storage resources, coincide well with cloud characteristics. This paper presents some possible cloud solutions in e-learning environments by emphasizing...
It is no coincidence that distance learning platforms are increasingly used in universities, colleges and companies seeking effective and continuous training of their employees without constraint of time and space. The effectiveness of such a learning system depends mainly on the degree of information assimilated by the learner at the end of training. In this article, we focus on the implementation...
Social presence is one of the most important factors that influence on learning process in e-learning environments. Many studies to perceive higher degree of social presence in learner and find the factors affecting social presence in e-learning environments have been done. In this study a new method based on existential psychology and knowledge extracted from learner to enhance social presence is...
With increasing speed Internet developed infrastructure, opportunity for virtual: meetings, training or teambuilding events online. The virtual environments have allowed developing virtual laboratories for study. In these virtual classrooms there experiments can be realized using hardware device or simulate some experiments using different specialized software. Also, students can study theoretical...
In Malaysia, although the government has promoted technology inclusion of rural area, the consideration of readiness for technology is being neglected. Research effort on technology readiness in Malaysian rural area is low. This research argues that low technology readiness may worsen the disparity of e-inclusion in Malaysia. Hence, this research is performed to provide evidence of the extreme importance...
Economies of the world are growing faster than ever. The Asian countries are also in a major play with the economic giants in the world. Stock Exchange is a key component of a country's economy. In this research we mainly focus on promoting investment of market shares. Sri Lanka being a small island in Asia seems to show a strong growth rate in the 21st Century. And its main stock exchange, the Colombo...
On-line learning uses the terms synchronous and asynchronous to describe tools and learning activities. This research looks into the origins of these terms, their use today and asks if these are the correct terms to use and if the use of these terms has held up the development of better tools and techniques.
E-Learning system, as a great product of modern information technology, is an important way to implement education modernization. Many e-Learning systems have been developed in recent years. However, most of them are unable to organize and present education materials flexibly according to individual learner's knowledge basis and learning ability. Based on detailed research of the deficiencies in current...
E-Learning aims to improve the quality of learning through the use of modern information and communication technologies. Designing E-Learning course materials is the most critical task because its entire educational system depends on the way content is presented. For that reason the necessity of evaluating the web based E-Learning content is arising. The evaluation of E-Learning content is beneficial...
Human capital is the most valuable asset of an organization that can create a sustainable competitive advantage for organizations. Therefore, organizations must continually develop its human resources by deciding to maintain them. Organizations have realized the importance of it and now have even passed traditional education and taken e-learning for developing their human resources. Due to the extensive...
Time has shown that technology has always had a significant influence on and role in education. The more advanced technology was the greater contribution it made to education. When we look back we can clearly see how great an influence film, radio and television have had on education. The second half of the twentieth century was marked by the results of the use of computers and information and communication...
The main goal of this research project is to verify on which terms the acceptance of learning management system (LMS), called Moodle, can be evaluated by using the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) considering the intention of use a unchanged variable at the same time reflects the students evaluation by students enrolled in the first year, in the course of Informatics by the School of Business and...
In last few years we witnessed huge growth in e-learning materials production. Hardware development and its availability managed to shatter the computer world. Last year more tablet computers were sold than all others computers combined. Smart phones are in the reach of children. Huge market was created for software application and e-learning materials. Groups of experts cooperate in the production...
The Education Column publishes project reports from fi nalists in the AP-S Student Design Challenge. In this issue, we present the report from the 2013 team from the School of Electrical and Electronics Engineering at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore: Theng Huat Gan, Zaifeng Yang, Eng Leong Tan, Jun Xian Lim, Minh Quan Huynh, and Moody Mayank. The challenge was to develop a system with...
E-learning is a comparatively new concept, even newer is cloud computing. Thus, there is need to increase research on how the two innovations can best work together. This paper explains the challenge within the context of higher education. This paper begins with background literature research on these key concepts before identifying where gaps exist. It then proposes a research by presenting objectives...
The paper investigates the relative efficiency of visual and phonetic features of e-learning system for student's learning effectiveness leading to better academic achievement and employability. The e-learning system is a form of human computer interaction process build and transferable skills through computer. The features used in e-learning system to sustain student's long span of focus attention...
