Belief-Desire-intention (BDI) agent based systems have been implemented in many business application systems and found to have some limitations in obverting environmental changes, adaptation and learning in making rational decisions. Our paper presents a new hybrid BDI agent architecture which compares all the available intentions in the intention reconsideration process and is able to observe ...

—Unlike the hard sciences, the study of humanities has not adequately leveraged on technologies such as mobile learning and serious games. Hence, this paper introduces SingaRacer, a mobile learning game to study humanities, specifically, history and culture. The ways in which users might perceive its prospect both as a game as well as an educational application was examined. For this purpose, S...

E-learning systems, also known as a virtual learning environments (VLE’s), are systems that use modern information and communication technology to support education and training efforts. In this paper we present the evaluation of a newly developed Compendium Platform (CP) that can be used to create educational applications that support effective learning of statistics and related analytical ski...

The continuous growth of e-learning community has drawn a lot of attention from IS researchers. However, studies have shown that most electronic communities are facing the problems with retaining members and motivating them for active participation. Based on irretrievable investments and IS continuance model, we propose a theoretical model employing reputation, trust, social ties, perceived use...

Like any other product, service and Web-based application, the success of Web-based learning depends largely on learners’ satisfaction and other factors that will eventually increase learners’ intention to continue using it. This paper integrates the concept of subjective task value and fairness theory to construct a model for investigating the motivations behind learners’ intention to continue...

BACKGROUND In the process of developing a professional medical expertise, goals can become a psychological impetus and act as a source of retaining an individual's persistency. Therefore, the goals of medical students should be considered when designing a curriculum for health professions. PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to examine relative effects of goal categories on the value of lea...

Although the benefits of e-learning have been discussed in various previous studies; it is a critical issue of better understanding the reasons why some learners are dissatisfied with the e-learning experience. Therefore, this research investigates learners’ satisfaction, behavioral intentions, and the effectiveness of the Blackboard e-learning system. A total of 424 university students were su...

In this position paper, we describe our vision of the future of machinebased programming through a categorical examination of three pillars of research. Those pillars are: (i) intention, (ii) invention, and (iii) adaptation. Intention emphasizes advancements in the human-to-computer and computer-to-machine-learning interfaces. Invention emphasizes the creation or refinement of algorithms or cor...

This study examines the acceptance of technology and behavioral intention to use learning management systems (LMS). More specifically, the aim of this research is to examine whether students ultimately accept and use educational learning systems such as e-class and the impact of behavioral intention on their decision to use them. An extended version of technology acceptance model has been used ...
