چکیده
Adoption of multimedia based e-learning approach in higher education institutions is becoming a key and effective component for curriculum delivery. Additionally, multimedia teaching and learning approach is a powerful tool to increase the perceived level of user satisfaction, leading to enhance the blended learning process. However, transmission of multimedia content over the Internet in Constrained Bandwidth Environment (CBE) is a challenge. This paper developed a framework that addressed the most critical issue not addressed by the existing blended learning frameworks after careful literature scanning. The framework was tested and validated through experimental scientific research process. This paper summarizes the main findings of the PhD Thesis defended by the author some time back.

متن کاملBlended biogeography-based optimization for constrained optimization
Biogeography-based optimization (BBO) is a new evolutionary optimization method that is based on the science of biogeography. We propose two extensions to BBO. First, we propose a blended migration operator. Benchmark results show that blended BRO outperforms standard BBO. Second, we employ blended BRO to solve constrained optimization problems. Constraints are handled by modifying the BRO immi...
متن کاملAdaptable bandwidth planning using reinforcement learning
In order to improve the bandwidth allocation considering feedback of operational environment, adaptable bandwidth planning based on reinforcement learning is proposed. The approach is based on new constrained scheduling algorithms controlled by reinforcement learning techniques. Different constrained scheduling algorithms,, such as “conflict free scheduling with minimum duration”, “partial disp...
