The paper presents an approach for the dynamic generation of a complex structure of personalized web pages for learning purposes, reflecting the ontology of the considered domain. The need of assuring a holistic character for the body of knowledge induced in the learner’s mind is emphasized. This is very important in the learning processes, especially nowadays, in the context of the huge amount...

Complex structure and varying requirements increase the difficulties in developing domain specific Web Information Systems. People appeal to a smart tool to customize Web Information Systems automatically. To achieve that goal, this article makes following contributions: (1) Proposes the concept of Web Information System ontology to express the integrated domain semantics and maintain their rel...

The main goal of a content-based recommender system is to propose to a user new documents which are likely to have some interest for him considering feedbacks he gave for other documents. Different machine learning algorithms have been integrated to information retrieval systems in order to cope with this task. However, these systems have not become as popular on the web as the well-known searc...

Persian language is one of the most widely used languages in the Web environment. Hence, the Persian Web includes invaluable information that is required to be retrieved effectively. Similar to other languages, ranking algorithms for the Persian Web content, deal with different challenges, such as applicability issues in real-world situations as well as the lack of user modeling. CF-Rank, as a ...

The paper presents a web-based tool designed to automatically pose and correct problems about finite state machines, concretely deterministic and non-deterministic finite automata. The tool is integrated into a more general e-learning environment, the ACME framework, a web-based problemsolving environment developed at the University of Girona. The tool only requires a web browser and is being u...

Web-based learning environments are strongly driven by the information revolution and the Internet, but they have a number of common deficiencies, such as slow access, no adaptivity to the individual student, limitation by bandwidth, and more. This paper outlines the benefits of mobile agents technology, and describes its application in Web-based learning environments to improve the learning pr...

Online learning is generally a solitary process without teachers’ on-the-spot assistance. To help students achieve sustained learning effects, the authors conducted a quasi-experiment to explore the effects of web-mediated self-regulated learning (SRL) with feedback on enhancing students’ computing skills, and their attitudes toward blended learning through online problem-solving. In this study...

The success of recent Web 2.0 platforms shows that people share information and resources within their social community and beyond. The use of these platforms in an e-learning context has been limited, though. One reason for this is the fact that most of these platforms only support specific media types, and teachers trying to assemble learning resources have to login to and use several Web 2.0...
