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...
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...
E-Learning is making inroads into schools in India in a large scale. Making use of information and communication technology (ICT) for learning can be very effective in delivering education to masses and thereby bridging the educational divide. How far is e-learning suitable, feasible and acceptable to school children of developing country like India is a question that needs careful study. This paper...
To counter the growing lack of experts in the IT sector, and to give, at the same time, a possibility for lifelong learning, a consortium of north German universities has initiated the project “Computer Engineering Online”. The goal is to develop and to publish an eLearning online study program for computer engineering in winter 2012. Referred to the blended learning strategy, the bigger part of the...
Nowadays, many researchers focus on developing learning systems with personalized learning mechanisms to adaptively provide learning paths in order to promote the learning performance of individual learner. Meanwhile, finding a suitable learning path has become a crucial issue for learners who want to learn new things quickly and effectively. We propose a personalized learning path recommender in...
Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) provide many features that improve learning and teaching experiences. ITS are usually interactivity-intense and content-specific. Interactivity-intense assignments are recommended for scaffolding learning, while content-specific systems can offer low flexibility regarding its possible pedagogical approaches and its uses by teachers. In order to overcome this limited...
E-learning systems that use computers and the Internet have become popular. E-learning systems have many advantages. However, the users often lose their motivation for learning in the process of studying, and the frequency that they use e-learning systems sometimes decreases. In order to improve or keep their motivation, we add a function that the users are praised or scolded by displaying images...
Digital image processing has many applications in different fields such as medicine, forensic, robotics, industrial automatic inspection systems, navigation, …, etc. This field has attracted attentions of researchers and scholars to develop and/or to improve algorithms for different applications.

Personalisation is a key property for Business-to-Customer services, as well as for other types of applications, such as e-learning and information systems. Expert systems are used to personalize websites successfully in e-commerce. The aim of this paper is to integrate a Java Expert System Shell called JESS to a Learning Management System (LMS) to achieve the idea of personalization by applying JESS...
Classroom interactivity is today considered to be one of the most important preconditions for successful lecturing. It is also often considered to be the main drawback of learning from lecture captures. In this article, the issue of live lecture and lecture capture interactivity is addressed from the aspect of students' question posing. During several lectures, students were asked to write down all...
The use of ICT has tremendously increased due to the explosive growth of the Internet and the reducing cost of the hardware. However, in recent years the use of ICT has also evolved as a threat to the environment. Green ICT has been one of the most promising technologies to tackle environmental issues. According to the 10th Malaysian Plan, the government has placed great importance on education; therefore,...
