The aim of the present paper is to discuss the achievements and the drawbacks of the integration of LMS (learning management systems) with the cooperative tools of the Web 2.0 through the account of a supplementary online course that has taken place in an Italian secondary high school. It can be considered an innovating experience from many different viewpoints and can be regarded as an example...

The evolution of information and communication technology has made a very powerful support for the improvement of online learning platforms in creation of courses. This paper presents a study that attempts to explore new web architecture for creating an adaptive online learning system to profiles of learners, using the Web as a source for the automatic creation of courses for the online trainin...

The purpose of this research paper is to demonstrate how a banking institution in Turkey is managing the inclusion of e-learning in its learning strategy. The case study demonstrates that the adoption of e-learning is actually influencing bank’s learning strategy, and that the simple delivery through technology cannot be sustained as a separate form of training, an appendix to traditional instr...

Automated Essay Grading (AEG) technology has been maturing over the final decades of the last century to the point where it is now poised to permit a transition in ‘assessment-thinking’. The administrative convenience of using objective testing to attempt to assess deep learning, learning at the conceptual level, has now been obviated by efficient and effective automated means to assess student...

As the number and complexity of computing devices in the environment around us increases, it is interesting to see how we could exploit that and glue them together to create larger co-operative distributed systems. This paper describes a framework for dynamically aggregating and configuring processing resources in order to meet local requirements and constraints. The capability of this framewor...

In this correspondence, a continuous-time analog adaptive filter is suggested via the digital prototype. The continuous-time LMS algorithm is then described by a set of simultaneous first-order equations. The adaptive gain is shown to be unbounded theoretically.

Game-based learning is becoming popular in the academic discussion of Learning Technologies. However, even though the educational potential of games has been thoroughly discussed in the literature, the integration of the games into educational processes and how to efficiently deliver the games to the students are still open questions. This paper addresses the aspects of integration and automati...

In this research work, the results obtained from the SCORM Cloud module verification in a learning platform (Learning Management System) Moodle 1.9.19, are presented. For this module verification, learning objects based on standard SCORM 2004 Fourth Edition were used, with sequencing according to ADL proposed template 10 and whose sequencing process was developed in a previous, published, resea...

We establish the consistency, asymptotic normality, and efficiency for estimators derived by minimizing the median of a loss function in a Bayesian context. We contrast this procedure with the behavior of two Frequentist procedures, the least median of squares (LMS) and the least trimmed squares (LTS) estimators, in regression problems. The LMS estimator is the Frequentist version of our estima...
