Professional Issues in Software Engineering (PISE) is a final year computer science module taught at the University of Limerick. PISE focuses on the ethical, legal and social consequences of the design, implementation and use of information systems. A central pedagogy to the module is the group-based approach to teaching and assessment. A Virtual Learning Environment (VLE), Moodle, has been use...

This article presents our prototype MASET (Multi Agents System for E-Tutoring Learners engaged in online collaborative work). MASET that we propose is a system which basically aims to help tutors in monitoring the collaborative work of students and their various interactions. The evaluation of such interactions by the tutor is based on the results provided by the automatic analysis of the inter...

During the previous decade web-based Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) has become general part of learning and curriculum. One of the most prominent virtual worlds is Second Life, because of dimensionless opportunities that result out of user created content. Many institutions such as universities, colleges and libraries have entered this 3D environment to explore its possibilities. As the Sec...

In this paper, we describe the advances we have made in extending the quiz component of our VLE (Moodle) to support the drawing and automatic assessment of free-form diagrams. The paper illustrates how diagram-based questions are incorporated into normal Moodle quizzes and the nature of the feedback provided. It describes the types of diagrams that can be supported by the system (graph-based) a...

This paper presents a web-based control laboratory for a ball and beam system that was adapted to be used within an online course of a Learning Management System platform. The experimentation web environment is presented in the context of the UNEDLabs project, a Spanish network of web-based laboratories for science and engineering education. LabView and data acquisition boards are used in the s...

Lernraumsysteme (LMS) werden an Schulen, Hochschulen sowie in Firmen eingesetzt. Berichte und Statistiken gehören nicht zur ihren Kernfunktionalitäten und sind folglich unzureichend vorhanden. Für Lehrende, Bildungsinstitutionen oder Bildungsanbieter sind Informationen über die Nutzungsart und -weise der angebotenen Lehrveranstaltungen aber von entscheidender Bedeutung. Ziel unserer Arbeit ist ...

Educational data mining is an emerging discipline, concerned with developing methods for exploring the unique types of data that come from the educational context. This work is a survey of the specific application of data mining in learning management systems and a case study tutorial with the Moodle system. Our objective is to introduce it both theoretically and practically to all users intere...

Dieser Beitrag fasst die Erkenntnisse der Bachelorarbeit mit dem Titel „Konzeption und Integration eines Chatbots in Moodle“ zusammen. Im Rahmen wurde ein Chatbot für das Modul „Grundlagen Programmierung“ aus Studiengang Wirtschaftsinformatik an HTW Berlin entworfen den zugehörigen Kurs E-Learning-Plattform Moodle integriert.

The diffusion of the use of the learning virtual environments presents a great potential for the development of an application which meet the necessities in the education area. In view of the importance of a more dynamic application and that can adapt itself continuously to the students’ necessities, the “U-ALS” (Ubiquitous Adapted Learning System) was proposed and developed. This system was bu...
