This paper describes a web-based environment for learning discrete simulation. The main goal of the paper is to foster the process of e-learning simulation by providing students and teachers with effective and comprehensive tools for creating, storing and executing discrete system simulation models. For these purposes the FONWEBGPSS application was developed and integrated into the e-learning s...

Online collaborative systems are popular communication channels as the systems allow people from various disciplines to interact and collaborate with ease. The systems provide communication tools and services that can be integrated on the web; consequently, the systems are more convenient to use and easier to install. Nevertheless, most of the currently available systems are designed according ...

User models are essential to e-learning systems, giving students learning continuity, tutors evidence of students' progress, and both a way to personalize students' learning materials to their abilities and preferences. Personalizing information has long been the motivation behind developing e-learning systems. Adaptive educational systems attempt to maintain a learning style profile for each s...

Indeed e-learning provides gateway to better educational system for learners. In order to enhance socialization and sharing of knowledge among existing e-learning applications, Web 2. 0 based tools can be integrated and utilized in these applications. This research paper is also related to evaluate the significance and compatibility of Web 2. 0 tools in education. For this purpose a methodology...

This paper proposes a new adaptive WBT (Web Based Training) environment for collaborative learning named COALE: Collaborative and Adaptive Learning Environment. COALE is an integrated environment of collaborative learning into individual learning based WBT with Active Personalized Awareness Provider. We propose a personalized active recommendation system, which gives proper awareness at right t...

The need for students to have hands-on experience is very important in many disciplines to match the requirements of today’s dynamic job market. Informatics, which is the science of information engineering, has been recently integrated into many academic programs. Teaching students the main skills in modern software and web development is essential for them to be successful informatics professi...

The corner stone of a language development environment is an editor. For programming languages, several code editors are readily available to be integrated in Web applications. However, only few editors exist for diagrammatic languages. Eshu is an extensible diagram editor, embeddable in Web applications that require diagram interaction, such as modeling tools or e-learning environments. Eshu i...

Mobile technologies and Web 2.0 have led to explosions of communication, with a resulting increased need for people to process and utilize that new communication. This paper presents a new approach to create an integrated approach for learners by bring traditional education, mobile learning, along with social network into one adaptive blended learning environment. This approach introduces an ad...

This paper describes an on-going effort to investigate problems and approaches for achieving Web-service-based, dynamic and collaborative e-learning. In this work, a Learning Content Definition Model is used to model distributed and sharable learning resources as content objects. Distributed and sharable software systems/components for supporting e-learning are modeled as software objects. Both...

In this paper, we present an application of learning environment under Web 2.0 concept and explore a better connection between knowledge management and e-Learning. While ICTs play an important role in facilitating formal and informal learning, an integrated framework is also proposed in the convergence of knowledge sharing and multimedia learning. We also argue that one of the most critical iss...
