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...
This paper presents interactive communicational elements that can be implemented on an already existing e-learning platform in order to optimize the educational process regarding young students. Thus, several tools have been developed to connect the educational practice to the information technology: information distribution, communication between students, interaction between teacher and students...
The accurate estimation of the difficulty level of the questions posed to students is essential to help them to learn more effectively and efficiently. However, it is agreed that teachers usually fail to identify the correct difficulty level of the questions, according to the answers and final scores obtained by their students. Thus, this paper examines the ability of teachers for categorizing questions...
This paper presents IP.AD. a model for the development of e-learning projects. The proposed model incorporates instructional systems development and project management processes in order to successfully manage e-learning projects. The use of IP.AD. enables e-learning courses designers to deal with the difficulties that arise during the development of e-learning courses, by considering them as projects...
To meet the strong demand for training in technical Chinese, we have built an e-learning system for a technical Chinese course. In this study, we devised a method of adapting the course material to a learner's ability. For each new learner, the system uses collective intelligence to construct a preliminary vocabulary test. Then, it uses the results to construct a personalized course by selecting the...
Knowledge management is all about creating an environment where information can be readily shared. The ability to understand and inventory tacit knowledge and to be able to manage and deliver that information to those who need it when they need it is achievable today. Creating a learning organization culture is critical. The future of integrated teaching and learning systems provides exciting opportunities...
The iPad is a very popular touchscreen tablet computer, which was introduced approximately two, two and a half years ago. It runs the MAC operating system making it suitable for different general and special uses. The paper focuses on the fact how the use of iPads can help education, make teaching and learning more efficient. In addition to the technical, infrastructural parameters, which are essential...
This contribution presents the results of research conducted as part of a European project, Share. TEC, which was dedicated to the development of a repository of Open Education Resources (OER) and commercial educational materials intended for teacher educators. This research involved inquiring into the pedagogical requirements of teacher educators for information and digital materials in order to...
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 KEGA project No. 026STU-4/2011 “The model of assessing the quality vocational training in the secondary vocational schools in Slovakia” deals with the analysis of the approaches to quality assessment of vocational education and training at home and abroad, and developing and piloting a model of quality assessment of education and training at the secondary vocational schools in the Slovak Republic...
Enhancement of an InfoStation-based multiagent architecture is presented. The focus of the enhancement is the system's capability to facilitate the contextualisation of delivered service content. It adapts to varying operating environments inherent to this type of wireless access architecture, and to service delivery modes dictated by, or matched to, the personal context of the user. The educational...
In recent years, several studies have shown that ontologies and technologies based on ontologies can be used to bridge the worlds of practice and education. These approaches are considered very important fields of educational technology research. In this paper, we present a domain ontology concerning Use Case Diagrams (UCD) that we developed in an attempt to provide common reference for the creators...
Developing customized and interactive learning material for engineering curriculum by teachers, in order to meet individual requirements of students can enhance the teaching-learning process. A number of available content authoring tools have been classified according to various dimensions. However, selecting the appropriate authoring tool is a difficult task for instructors, in the absence of selection...
The clumsy and the inconsistent web interface of spoken-tutorial.org impedes its use by creators, reviewers, users and workshop organisers. Based on the analytics, such as the traversal paths taken by the learner to access the content and the duration of time spent, and the informal feedback, we have created a new integrated interface for the spoken tutorials. Cluster analysis of usability studies...
Education in ethnic minority area not only passes on knowledge but also propagates and inherites ethnic minority culture. Curriculum resource can be used as a connection between textbook knowledge and propagating and inheriting ethnic minority culture, which can implement the two goals. On the other hand, humanity property of information technology requires information technology teaching to combine...
Some researchers on effective pedagogy reveal that “teacher directed” type of learning design should be transformed into “student centered” type in that the latter will help improve student's intellectual quality in class and develop their abilities of solving the problems in real life. Teachers' integrating E-learning technologies into learning design definitely facilitates this engagement in class...
In the so-called 'New Culture for Assessment' assessment has become a tool for Learning. Assessment is no more considered to be isolated from the learning process and provided as embedded assessment forms. Nevertheless, students have more responsibility in the learning process in general and in assessment activities in particular. They become more engaged in: developing assessment criteria, participating...
This paper discusses the application of Extensible Learning Environment with Courseware Object Architecture (ELECOA), an extensible learner-adaptive system, to a collaborative learning environment. ELECOA is designed to provide a learning environment supporting both function extensibility and content reusability. To achieve this goal, ELECOA introduces the concept of a "courseware object",...
In this paper we present a comprehensive framework supporting the tasks of defining, retrieving, and importing Learning Objects (LOs) for personalized courses. It is partially implemented in a Moodle-based personalization system, where the instructional designer is guided through: 1) a theoretical specification of the needed LOs; 2) a retrieval function of actual LOs, by automatically querying standard-compliant...
