Abstract: The learning technology standardization process is taking one of the leading roles in the research efforts into computer-based education. Institutions like the IEEE, the US Department of Defense and the European Commission have set up ...

Abstract: This work puts under the judgment and speculation of the educational community, the concept of the educational digital entity, that is the digital representation of the teacher or as a virtual figure with human characteristics. With the help ...

Abstract: The Virtual Adaptive Learning Architecture (VALA) project has developed a learning architecture with user interface adaptability that provides a personalized learning environment as well as a repository of reusable learning objects. VALA is ...

Abstract: This paper discusses the implications and difficulties of running large-scale on-line applications, drawing on the extensive experience of the On-Line Applications group at The Open University. The history of on-line services at The Open ...

Abstract: The growing need for communication, visualization and organization technologies in the field of e-learning environments has led to the application of virtual reality and the use of collaborative virtual environments. This paper presents a ...

Abstract: There exists an urgent demand on defining architectures for Learning Technology Systems (LTS), so that high-level frameworks for understanding these systems can be discovered, portability, interoperability and reusability can be achieved and ...

Abstract: This paper addresses re-usability in personalized learning environments. The paper presents the work of the European Project KOD "Knowledge on Demand", towards the development of an architecture for defining re-usable adaptive educational ...

Abstract: Four architectures for computer supported collaborative learning systems are analyzed using the model-view-controller design pattern and compared from the standpoints of coupling between activities of the users and suitability for educational ...

Abstract: Distributed Learning Environments (DLEs) are being cited as solutions to the ambitious political goals of better education, wider access and lower costs. This paper outlines the architecture of the TAGS framework for building DLEs. The main ...

Abstract: CSULA was charged with assisting the NSA in the research, development, documentation and the necessary expertise to convert a face-to-face course to a multimedia web-based course called "EEO 100: Equal Employment Opportunity Law and Diversity ...

Abstract: One of the goals of science education is to familiarize students with an intellectual framework based on established scientific principles and general approaches that can later be used to solve science-based problems. Science is also content-...

Abstract: We introduce a generic and flexible ontology for modeling ill-structured knowledge domains within intelligent educational systems. The ontology is based on the Theory of Cognitive Flexibility. We have prototyped the ontology on a deductive ...

Abstract: There is an interplay between emotions and learning, but this interaction is far more complex than previous theories have articulated. This article proffers a novel model by which to: 1). regard the interplay of emotions upon learning for, 2). ...

Abstract: With the prevalence and pressure to learn and use new technology, teachers may rush through or even avoid instructional design. This results in learners not clearly knowing what they're going to do, how to go about doing it, or when they'll ...

Abstract: In this paper, we describe the design and implementation of a tool called the Lexical Difficulty Filter (LDF) intended to help learners or teachers in selecting sentences appropriate to the level of students for English vocabulary learning. ...

Abstract: Inquiry-based curricula encourage students to develop research and collaboration skills by working with evidence and exploring real problems. Students engaging in inquiry projects must be supported in learning the content and work practices of ...

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to examine the importance of the authority structure in the design of a computer supported collaborative concept mapping system for elementary students. An experiment was implemented using ninety-six fifth- and ...

Abstract: CBI researchers have long pursued goals of adaptivity, generativity, and scalability. The architecture of a CBI product has a large influence on how well it achieves these goals. This paper introduces principles called "decompression" and "...

Abstract: Currently, deficiencies in learning environments concern concepts, consistency, screen layout, interface design, navigation strategies, low-level of multimedia based interactions. In order to enlarge the communication capabilities in a ...

Abstract: RSVP (aka Rensselaer Satellite Video Program) initially delivered Master's level technical courses to the working professional via satellite. As technologies changed, so did RSVP. In particular, the World Wide Web forced a rethinking of the ...

Abstract: To improve the courses of computer-based education, we constructed the support facilities, which enable interactive communication between teacher and students. When student falls into the difficult situation, he can send the help request to ...

Abstract: In this article we argue that developments in e-learning dialogue should be predicated on pedagogically sound principles of discourse, and therefore, by implication, we need to develop methodologies which transpose .typically informal .models ...

Abstract: This paper presents the design and implementation of a Self-paced and Adaptive Courseware, in short SAC. The main focus of SAC is to formulate a model that encompasses the important requirements of supporting an adaptive learning courseware ...

Abstract: In this paper we introduce FACT, a Framework for the Analysis of the learning process and Collaborative Tutoring. The main feature of FACT is the use of representations of learning histories, analysis and related annotations, that enhance the ...

Abstract: The exponential increase in web-based distance learning environments for universities has spawned a parallel increase in web course design and management systems (WCDMS). These systems appear to serve the needs of designers, professors, and ...

Abstract: In this paper we discuss the structure of training cases in web-based and case-oriented training systems. We combine the benefits of systems that support a structural representation of knowledge underlying a training case and those that allow ...

Abstract: Web-based learning course lack the explanation and interpretation of teaching materials comes from teacher. In this study, we implement a stream-based lecturing system, named Media Master, which can fully integrate with web-based teaching ...
