the steady growing innovations in the area of information and communication technology have raised new concepts and possibilities in different life aspects. in the field of further education and professional training, electronic learning and web-based education are perhaps the most prominent ones. proponents of this technology claim that e-learning courses are at least as effective as correspon...

In this paper, we present an approach for integrating Social Web with Semantic Web by combining the easiness of annotation of resources in the Social Web and the expressiveness of ontologies to describe the resources in the Semantic Web. Our approach combines ontology learning and ontology evolution techniques to provide an integrated Web. Besides, we show how ontology alignment can be used to ...

This paper describes an integrated instructional model for integrating web-based instruction and classroom teaching in educational institutions in the Caribbean. Two studies are presented: one, a 1-semester Computer Science course for students at university level and the other, a 2-year course in Information Technology designed for secondary school students across the Caribbean. In each case, w...

Context aware ubiquitous learning is a computer supported learning paradigm for identifying learners’ surrounding contextual environment and social presence to provide integrated, interoperable, pervasive, and seamless learning experiences. The objective of context aware ubiquitous learning is to move Web and mobile learning a step further from learning at anytime anywhere to be at the right ti...

Theme-based learning (TBL) refers to learning modes which adopt the following sequence: (a) finding the theme; (b) finding a focus of interest based on the theme; (c) finding materials based on the focus of interest; (d) integrating the materials to establish shared knowledge; (e) publishing and sharing the integrated knowledge. We have created an on-line system which supports the TBL mode to p...

background:learning the key issues in providing nursing care requires new instructional strategies that prevent superficial learning of students and improve meaningful and high level learning in them. the aim of this study was to determine effect of teaching the nursing process in composing method on nursing students and their clinical learning. methods: in a quasi-experimental study with two g...

SPARQL editors like Yasgui [6] make it easier to write and inspect their results. Notebooks like Jupyter/IPython [5] already support computerand data scientists in domains like statistics and machine learning. There is currently not an integrated notebook solution for Semantic Web programming that combines the strengths of SPARQL editors with the benefits of notebooks. The challenge is that Sem...

Web-based courses and programs have increasingly been developed by many academic institutions, organizations, and companies worldwide due to their benefits for both learners and educators. However, many of the developmental approaches lack two important considerations needed for implementing Web-based learning applications: (1) integration of the user interface design with instructional design ...

We propose an intermediary approach to utilizing existing Web resources as educational material. The Web is attractive for educational use but it is not completely suitable. To fix the remedy, we developed an integrated proxy server, called WebAngel, which can automatically and individually personalize Web resources for students. This paper presents the mechanism of WebAngel to support learning...
