Learning Management Systems (LMS) are web-based systems for the distribution, management and retrieval of course materials, and to support communication between students and instructors. A LMS can also support peer collaboration by providing students with the capacity to create their own project sites. In this paper we present data from system logs, surveys, and interviews to investigate how on...

Sales prediction is an important problem for different companies involved in manufacturing, logistics, marketing, wholesaling and retailing. Different approaches have been suggested for food sales forecasting. Several researchers, including the authors of this paper, reported on the advantage of one type of technique over the others for a particular set of products. In this paper we demonstrate...

Open source Learning Management System (LMS) explores the opportunity for varieties of learning in real world education society. It reduces cost of established an elearning system. LearnSquare is one of open source LMSs that is developed to widen the use of e-learning system in Thailand educational system. E-learning standard is concerned to increase an effectiveness of the system. SCORM are re...

Current-generation assessment tools used in K-12 and post-secondary education are limited in the type of questions they support; this limitation makes it difficult for instructors to navigate their assessment engines. Furthermore, the question types tend to score low on Bloom’s Taxonomy. Dedicated learning management systems (LMS) such as Blackboard, Moodle and Canvas are somewhat better than i...

A Learning Management System (LMS) plays an important role in any eLearning environment. Still, the LMS cannot afford to be isolated from other systems in an educational institution. Thus, the potential for interoperability is an important, although frequently overlooked, aspect of an LMS system. In this chapter we make a comparative study of the interoperability features of the most relevant L...

Web-based learning environments are extensively used nowadays. These environments maintain and produce vast amounts of data. Such vastness lead to the application of data mining techniques so as to further improve usability and qualify e-learning platform courses content. This paper proposes a platform dependant framework for recording, processing and analyzing data from Learning Management Sys...

Although Learning Management Systems (LMS) are ubiquitous in higher education, little is known about how faculty and students use them for blended learning. In this symposium, we present data from online surveys, system log data, and case studies to investigate the practice of university teaching with LMS to provide feedback about how to successfully implement these systems. We examine instruct...

Vienna University of Technology’s E-Learning Centre introduced Moodle in 2006 as the university’s central learning management system. Custom interfaces to existing IT infrastructure as well as modules developed and deployed according to user’s needs provide for a seamless digital workflow in the university’s teaching, learning and organisational processes. Encouraging the use of the LMS as a mu...

This paper investigated the adoption of Course and Learning Management Systems (C/LMS) by lecturers at the four residential universities of South Africa’s Western Cape province. To explain the differences in use patterns, a dedicated analysis framework, ActAD, grounded in activity theory was used. Lecturer interviews pointed to important differences in views – and consequent use patterns – of E...

The paper investigates a contingent claim replicating problem for a diiusion market model. It is proposed an approach which does not call to solve the backward parabolic equation, unlike for the classical method, and this approach is applied for a case when the volatility coeecient is random and depends on time. The replicating strategy is decomposed to series of explicit strategies which does ...
