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.

Blended 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...
