An investigation of learner satisfaction in an online learning environment can lead to improvement in designing an online course or its task, and gives the course facilitator the opportunity to re-focus computer integrated learning environment. In this paper, five key areas of online learning environments, vis. peer interaction, tutor support, online task, technology support, and knowledge acqu...

Advances in computer technology and multi-media systems have led to widespread interest in computer-based instruction and learning environments. The use of video, animation, graphics, and simulation allow the presentation of material in realistic contexts, thus addressing the problems of inert knowledge while promoting constructive and generative learning. But the true potential and bene ts of ...

The purpose of this study was to develop and evaluate the video on demand learning system. This study integrated the thematic instructional strategy into interactive video-based instruction based on the cognitive theory of multimedia learning and investigated the participant’s reflection and learning performance through post-test, IMMS and the experimental teaching activities. Under the self-co...

Traditionally, behaviouristic models have been used for the design of many interactive learning environments. In contrast, we propose a pedagogical model based on social constructivism and phenomenography, which we believe is more adequate when, for instance, information seeking and the use of the WWW are natural components in the learning situation. To see learners as persons who continuously ...

The multi agent system is one of the emerging trends being used today and the application of multi-agent systems is spreading in almost every field. It can provide better solutions to very complex and restrictive system. Here in this paper, we propose a new Multi agent based Architecture named I-MBLS (Interactive Multi-Agent Based Learning System) that we have designed for distance learning on ...

Introduction Engineering programs throughout the country face similar challenges: student learning, student success and retention . In addition, more and more adults participate in online education and distance learning programs for various reasons and the demand for such programs is growing . In order to address these issues, educators have developed and implemented several pedagogical approac...

This paper presents the AMELIE Authoring Tool for medical e-learning applications. The tool allows for the creation of enhanced-video based didactic contents, and can be adjusted to any number of platforms and applications. Validation provides preliminary good results on its acceptance and usefulness.

Using a separate editor and interpreter provides many distracting obstacles for inexperienced students learning a programming language. Professional interactive development environments, however, confuse and distract these students with their excessive features. Hence this paper presents Heat, an interactive development environment specially designed for novice students learning the functional ...

With advanced computer and network technologies of nowadays, learners could benefit from well-developed distance learning systems for obtaining vast learning content, as well as performing learning exercises at anytime anywhere. However, to attract learners and to keep them active would be difficult in those content-based learning systems. One possible solution is to include some motivator fact...
