In the era of computer and communication technologies, fostering students’ high-level thinking abilities has become an important educational objective. Engaging students in web information searching to answer a series of questions related to a target issue has been recognized as a helpful approach for promoting students’ thinking processes. In this study, a contextual learning approach is emplo...

––Clustering is an unsupervised task whereas classification is supervised in nature. In the context of machine learning, classification of instances of a dataset is carried out by a classifier after the classifier is made to learn the model from a training dataset. The training data consists of instances which are labeled by a human expert. The labels are the classes into which the instances of...

Introduction One of the most challenging issues in the context of knowledge management is the establishment of dynamic mechanisms that manipulate learning content. The traditional approach since today was limited in static approaches without consideration for the dynamic nature of learning. MODEL integrated framework supports the MODEL tool set, an integrated learning environment especially des...

Recent improvements in web standards and technologies enable the attackers to hide and obfuscate infectious codes with new methods and thus escaping the security filters. In this paper, we study the application of machine learning techniques in detecting malicious web pages. In order to detect malicious web pages, we propose and analyze a novel set of features including HTML, JavaScript (jQuery...

The World Wide Web has opened up entirely novel ways of teaching and learning. To use these new chances, Germany’s Fraunhofer Gesellschaft (FhG) has launched the implementation of the so-called Fraunhofer Knowledge & Learning Network (FKN). This project is mainly aimed at providing graduates, scientists, engineers and also students with latest skills in Information and Communication Technologie...

Weblogs can be integrated into teaching-learning process as they encourage learners to collaborate and freely voice their ideas. Ho...

This paper presents the collaborative distance learning system SIC’ED embedding concepts that are essential for collaborative learning and group interaction over the web. We are developing tools particularly tailored to address the needs of students. SIC’ED is intended to be a flexible education or auto-education plat-form and defines an educative server to which several tools are being progres...

Utilizing the resources of the web in educational practices has made instructional processes more efficient and interesting and has made the learning process on the other hand much easier and attractive. With the web, English language teachers now have the option of engaging learners in online (web-based) instructions in addition to the use of conventional classroom instructions or alternativel...

With the availability of high bandwidth wireless channels such as 3G-telecommunication infrastructure and wireless LAN, mobile learning (M-learning) is becoming more feasible now. M-learning can be considered as an intersection of online learning and mobile computing. Through wireless devices (such as mobile telephones, Personal Digital Assistants PDAs, tablet PC, and laptops) and wireless appl...
