The advancement in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has provided new opportunities for teaching and learning in the form of e-learning. However, developing specialized contents, accommodating profiles of learners, e-learning pedagogy and available ICT infrastructure are the real challenges that need to be properly addressed for any successful e-learning system. The adaptability in...

In Learning Process Engines, a main concern is to deliver rich pedagogical learning scenarios. However current e-learning systems are not completely capable of handling complex role structures and learning activity flows. To solve this issue, an activity instantiation model based on role access control is proposed. This model is capable of ensuring the completeness of the learning flow for each...

As colleges and universities use the internet as a new channel for education, questions arise how to cover development costs and how to set up revenue models for e-learning. Pricing mechanisms and flexible e-learning systems are needed to offer learners differentiated e-learning services and to charge for their usage. In this paper, we propose a graphical price modeling language that can be use...

The success of the e-learning paradigm observed in recent times created a growing demand for e-learning systems in universities and other educational institutions, that itself led to the development of a number of either commercial or open source learning management systems (LMS). While the usage of these systems gains recognition and acceptance amongst institutions, there are new problems aris...

This paper presents an improved software estimation model, which uses to estimate developing effort of e-Learning's contents. This model is called the e-Learning courseware Effort Estimate Model (EEEM). This model uses special designed storyboard to delineate the e-Learning courseware's contents and define the measurement metrics. Research was conducted using statistical data from the real worl...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to explore the students' perspectives on the phenomenon of online learning communities while enrolled in a graduate dental hygiene program. METHODS A qualitative case study method was designed to investigate the learners' experiences with communities in an online environment. A cross-sectional purposive sampling method was used. Interviews were the data c...

The technology acceptance model (TAM) proposes that perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness predict applications usage. The study-in-progress investigated TAM for work-related tasks with the e-learning, and used TAM as a basis for hypothesizing the effects of such variables on the use of e-learning as the application. Elearning has become an increasingly popular learning approach in high...

This research paper aims to present an integrated evaluation model in e-learning systems for students. The paper describes the phases of development and analysis of the application of a web-based open student evaluation model in an e-Learning System. The proposed model has been tested and evaluated in terms of its effectiveness on student communication, collaboration, and progress. The evaluati...

E-learning is the application of information technology in the teaching and learning process. This paper presents the Funnel model as a solution for the problems of implementation of E-learning in tertiary education institutions. While existing models such as TAM, theory-based E-learning and pedagogical model have been used over time, they generally been found to be inadequate because of their ...
