Cloud computing technology is an emerging new computing paradigm for delivering computing services. Although it still in its early stage, it has changed the way how many applications are developed and accessed. This computing approach relies on a number of existing technologies, such as Web2.0, virtualization, Service oriented architecture (SOA), Web services, etc.
 Cloud computing is growing r...

In this paper we present a way to organize Learning Objects to achieve personalized eLearning. PEDAL-NG is a system that supports personalization based on the user’s prior knowledge and the learning style in an existing and operational eLearning environment. The prior knowledge assessment and the learning style questionnaire proved to be simple and useful tools to gather necessary information a...

BACKGROUND Elearning is ubiquitous in healthcare professions education. Its equivalence to 'traditional' educational delivery methods is well established. There is a research imperative to clarify when and how to use elearning most effectively to mitigate the potential of it becoming merely a 'disruptive technology.' Research has begun to broadly identify challenges encountered by elearning use...

The cost of acquiring, managing, and maintaining ICT infrastructure is one of the main factors that hinder educational institutions in Sub-Saharan countries to adopt and implement eLearning. Recently, cloud computing has emerged as a new computing paradigm for delivering cost effective computing services that can be used to harness eLearning. However, the adoption of cloud computing in higher e...

Internationalization of the higher education has created the so-called borderless university, which provides better opportunities for learning and increases the human and social sustainability. eLearning systems are a special kind of software systems, developed to provide a platform for accessible teaching and learning, including also online access to learning materials and online support for l...

The accelerated development of the information and communication technologies determined universities, companies and educational institutions to implement alternatives to the traditional teaching methods, thereby leading to the development of e-courses. New Information and Communication Technologies mediating learning represent an important component of education and training systems. In Romani...

After more than a decade, the early claims that elearning would transform university teaching are yet to be realised. As elearning, with learning management systems as the centrepiece, becomes entrenched in the mainstream, there is growing demand for a solid theoretical research base to inform elearning practice. We argue that the lack of a solid research base is in part due to the inherent dif...
