With the development of Multimedia and networking as well as their extensive application in educational field, the web-based education has been concerned by educational researchers. Against this background, more and more E-learning systems have been established to encounter some bottlenecks of traditional learning. However, many shortcomings of existing e-learning platforms have been exposed ou...

Developing web-based learning materials gives rise to a number of pedagogic problems. Learners are highly diverse in respect to their pedagogical requirements, and the implementation of an effective web-based learning strategy must avoid placing a heavy technological burden on IT-naïve academics. A solution to both of these issues may be provided by software systems know as Integrated Learning ...

POIROT is an integration framework for combining machine learning mechanisms to learn hierarchical models of web services procedures from a single or very small set of demonstration examples. The system is organized around a shared representation language for communications with a central hypothesis blackboard. Component learning systems share semantic representations of their hypotheses (gener...

the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of call/web-based instruction on improving efl learners’ pronunciation ability. to this end, 85 students who were enrolled in a language institute in rasht were selected as subjects. these students were given the oxford placement test in order to validate their proficiency levels. they were then divided into two groups of 30 and were rando...

Influenced by generative and intentional learning methodologies, the Web Resource Collaboration Center (WRCC) was developed to provide a structure and forum for lifelong learning activities by empowering learners to build their own Web-based knowledge bases and support systems. The WRCC – written entirely in Perl – enables learners to collaboratively build comprehensive knowledge base systems t...

the main challenge of a search engine is ranking web documents to provide the best response to a user`s query. despite the huge number of the extracted results for user`s query, only a small number of the first results are examined by users; therefore, the insertion of the related results in the first ranks is of great importance. in this paper, a ranking algorithm based on the reinforcement le...

Today, the use of the Internet and Internet sites has been an integrated part of the people’s lives, and most activities and important data are in the Internet websites. Thus, attempts to intrude into these websites have grown exponentially. Intrusion detection systems (IDS) of web attacks are an approach to protect users. But, these systems are suffering from such drawbacks as low accuracy in ...

computer-assisted language learning (call) is reaching an up most position in the pedagogical field of english as a second or foreign language (esl/efl). the present study was carried out to study the effect of using phonetic websites on iranian efl students’ pronunciation and knowledge of phonemic symbols. participants of the study included 30 efl female pre-intermediate students studying in k...

Web-based learning tools provide integrated environments of various technologies to support diverse educators’ and learners’ needs via the Internet. An open source Moodle e-learning platform has been implemented at universities in Egypt as an aid to deliver e-content and to provide the institution with various possibilities for implementing asynchronous e-learning web-based modules. This paper ...

Careful attention to principles of learning can improve the design of Web-based lessons and tutorials. Tutorials from the Web Interface for Statistics Education (WISE; http:¿wise.cgu.edu) demonstrate how specific principles can be integrated into Web design to enhance learning in two areas. First, the impact of students' poor self-regulation abilities on Web-based learning is considered. Second...
