Background:Electronically -Learning has created a new horizon in the world of education. The purpose of this is improving the quality of education and conserving (saving) time for teachers and students; this training can facilitate and strengthen the process of review. Since Mashhad University of Medical Sciences trains the applicants for family medicine as MPH virtually, we decided to study th...

myVU is a next generation recommender system based on observed consumer behavior and interactive evolutionary algorithms implementing customer relationship management and one-to-one marketing in the educational and scientific broker system of a virtual university. myVU provides a personalized, adaptive WWW-based user interface for all members of a virtual university and it delivers routine reco...

Virtual learning has opened new vistas in meta-information handling. Large collections of portfolios and e-books, large communities of e-people and processes over widespread virtual campuses impose a new management strategy. The most appropriate solution for a global university is to use a grid architecture based on distributed warehouses in order to use its distributed processing power. This p...

The paper discuss a problem of a usage of virtual laboratories in teaching process at technical universities. The analysis of advantages and disadvantages of simulated laboratories and laboratories with an distant access is presented. Also different ways of implementing simulated virtual laboratories are given. Moreover, the problem of the supporting virtual laboratories by multimedia lessons a...

Virtual worlds are one of the most promising and interesting lines of research and development in e-learning. Also, the recent maturity of 3D virtual world platforms like Second Life or OpenSimulator has made it possible to deploy such systems at a low cost in schools, colleges or companies. Therefore, these virtual world platforms have enabled the development of cost-effective virtual laborato...

The high cost of authoring e-learning resources is a well-known problem when introducing and using virtual patients in medical schools. A method investigated by the European eViP project for reducing these expenses involves “repurposing” existing cases from a common database in order to Þ t them into new learning environments and scenarios. The goal of this study was to collect opinions on repu...

As an important supporting means for teaching in university, virtual experiment makes up the lack of resources in experiment teaching. Network virtual experiment is a new development direction following the virtual experiment, it has inherited and carried forward the concept of virtual experiments, extending and expanding the resources of virtual experiments. It realizes the preview and detecti...

Co-Space refers to interactive virtual environment modelled after the real world in terms of look-and-feel, functionalities and services. We have developed a 3D virtual world named Nanyang Technological University (NTU) Co-Space populated with virtual human characters. In order to create realistic virtual humans, we have designed a brain-inspired agent architecture with the properties of goal-d...
