Contribution to the Adaptation of Pervasive Learning

Kheira Saidani, Abdelkrim Benamar, Fethi Tarik Bendimerad

https://doi.org/

Abstract With the continuous evolution and convergence of wireless technologies, mobile devices and sensors, the mobile, ubiquitous and pervasive learning have appeared next to the e-learning to re-organize, on the one hand, the way users interact with the technology, and on the other hand, to provide users a permanent and transparent access to information and contextual services in any time, everywhere...

An Evaluation of Arabic Language Learning Websites

Hadhémi Achour, Wahiba Ben Abdesslam

https://doi.org/

Abstract As a result of ICT development and the increasingly growing use of the Internet in particular, practices of language teaching and learning are about to evolve significantly. Our study focuses on the Arabic language, and aims to explore and evaluate Arabic language learning websites. To reach these goals, we propose in a first step, to define an evaluation model, based...

Metadata Based Classification of Scientific Documents

Sher Afgun Khan, Muhammad Tanvir Afzal, Muhammad Abdul Qadir

https://doi.org/

Abstract Finding a relevant paper has become a problem in exponentially growing web repositories of scientific documents, where scalability, semi structured information and evolving knowledge diffusion terms are escalating it. As a result, a user may receive millions of irrelevant hits through web interfaces like Google Scholar, CiteULike, CiteSeer etc. Proper Classification of these documents can address the problem with better...

Students’ Perception on Using Podcast in Learning Mandarin

Tan, Teow Ghee, Lim, Teck Heng, Goh, Chin Shuang

https://doi.org/

Abstract The application of podcast in foreign language learning is still in the early stages and lack empirical exploration to support its use. Learners’ acceptance of podcast as a learning tool remains unclear. In this study, an attempt was made to gauge the perception of students towards (a) the podcast content and design, and (b) the benefits of using podcast in... Read More


A New Approach in E-Learners Grouping Using Hybrid Clustering Method

Gholam Ali Montazer, Mohammad Sadegh Rezaei

https://doi.org/

Abstract Today, learner grouping has an important role in the sagacity of E-learning systems. In recent researches in this field, researchers have tried to improve basic grouping methods by combining them with optimization approaches. This complicates learner grouping methods and one dimensionality looking toward clustering, causes the quality of the produced groups decreases. This paper proposes a new method based on...
