Academic success in first-year college science coursework can strongly influence future career paths and usually includes a solid performance in introductory biology. We wanted to know whether factors affecting biology student performance might include learning style preferences and one’s ability and confidence in self-assessing those learning preferences in order to engage in appropriate study...

The aim of the paper is to investigate and propose Semantic Web approaches to improving the adaptation quality of Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs). These approaches are the method for semantic search for Web 2.0 tools in VLEs, and the method for curriculum mapping and semantic search for Learning Objects (LOs) in VLEs. In the paper, a special attention is paid to improving the adaptation ca...
