The goal of the semantic web is to facilitate the exchange of meaningful information in a form that is easy for machines to process. The goal of an e-learning system is to support the learning process by providing meaningful information for students in a form that best suits them. Natural synergies between these two areas have led to a surge in the feasibility of user modelling and intelligent ...

This study reports a case study in which a pedagogical model, namely the Global Virtual Education (GloVEd) model, which is based on the teaching-studying-learning process (TSL process) and the characteristics of meaningful learning, is developed and used to evaluate students’ meaningful learning experiences during the Global Virtual Collaboration Project (GVCP) course in spring 2009. During the...

OBJECTIVE to synthesize the scientific literature about the Theory of Meaningful Learning in the process of teaching and learning in nursing. METHOD this is an integrative review conducted in the databases MEDLINE, LILACS, SciELO, BDENF and CINAHL with studies addressing the subject or aspects of the theory of meaningful learning of David Ausubel. Ten studies were included, from which six wer...

JEL classification: C72 C92 D83 Psychologists have long recognized two kinds of learning: one that is relatively shallow and domain-specific; and another that is deeper, producing generalizable insights that transfer across domains. The game theory literature has only recently considered this distinction, and the conditions that stimulate the latter kind of “meaningful” learning in games are st...

This study aims to separate the head from the data in web-tables to extract useful information. To achieve this aim, web-tables must be converted into a machine readable form, an attribute-value pair, the relation of which is similar to that of head-body. We have separated meaningful tables and decorative tables in our previous work, because web-tables are used for the purpose of knowledge stru...
