Current research work in e-learning and more specifically in the field of CSCL (Computer Supported Collaborative Learning) deals with design of collaborative activities, according to computer-interpretable specifications, such as IMS Learning Design, and their posterior enactment using LMSs (Learning Management Systems). A script that describes such collaborative activities is typically designe...

This paper presents, VIANET, a new web framework addressing the distance learning scenario. The VIANET project aims at bringing together the most promising web technologies and standards, in order to attain a highly competitive online learning environment. Moreover, the new web framework includes a Learning Management System (LMS), a SCORM based Learning Content Management System (LCMS) and a V...

Facebook is commonly used in the daily lives of higher-education students. Facebook groups are considered educational tools that can be used as learning management system (LMS) substitutes or supplements. However, the effect of using Facebook groups on learning in the computer engineering field has not been adequately compared with that of using other types of LMS and must be explored. The resu...

Learning Management Systems (LMS) have been widely adopted by higher education institutions globally for over a decade. Institutions in sub-Saharan Africa now spend a significant proportion of their limited resources on installing and maintaining these systems. This expenditure continues to increase, raising questions as to whether LMS in these institutions are fulfilling their potential. The a...

This paper presents the results of an empirical study conducted with students following a distance education program. In the study questions posed were whether students could perform well in examinations using only the Learning Management System (LMS), whether they could use it in an efficient way and whether there was a relationship between students’ learning styles, number of LMS hits and lea...

For all $a,b>0$, the following two optimal inequalities are presented: $H^{alpha}(a,b)L^{1-alpha}(a,b)geq M_{frac{1-4alpha}{3}}(a,b)$ for $alphain[frac{1}{4},1)$, and $ H^{alpha}(a,b)L^{1-alpha}(a,b)leq M_{frac{1-4alpha}{3}}(a,b)$ for $alphain(0,frac{3sqrt{5}-5}{40}]$. Here, $H(a,b)$, $L(a,b)$, and $M_p(a,b)$ denote the harmonic, logarithmic, and power means of order $p$ of two positive numbers...

Data is the most valuable asset in any firm. As time passes, data expands at a breakneck speed. A major research issue extraction of meaningful information from complex and huge source. Clustering one methods. The basic K-Mean Parallel partition clustering algorithms work by picking random starting centroids. parallel methods are investigated this using two different datasets with sizes 10000 5...

We find the greatest values $alpha_{1} $ and $alpha_{2} $, and the least values $beta_{1} $ and $beta_{2} $ such that the inequalities $alpha_{1} C(a,b)+(1-alpha_{1} )H(a,b)

K. Martin M. A. Quigley S. Rogers This article describes how Aventis Pharmaceuticals, in partnership with IBM, is implementing a learning management system (LMS) globally both in the Research and Development organization and in clinical groups within the Commercial Operations organization. It also discusses how Aventis is applying an innovative change management approach that meets challenges t...

introduction: knowledge is one of the most important assets of any organization and the importance of knowledge management in the information age is considered more than ever. experts believe that organizational success or failures are associated with knowledge management. both implicit and explicit knowledge management are so important in disaster management. the aim of this study is to determ...
