Al-Dujaily, Amal; Kim, Jieun; Ryu, Hokyoung – Educational Technology & Society, 2013
A concern of computer-based learning system design is how to accommodate learners' individual differences during learning activities. Previous research suggests that adaptive e-learning systems can effectively address such individual differences and, consequently, they enable more directed tutoring via computer-assisted instruction. In this paper,…

The New Challenges for E-learning: The Educational Semantic Web
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Aroyo, Lora; Dicheva, Darina – Educational Technology & Society, 2004
The big question for many researchers in the area of educational systems now is what is the next step in the evolution of e-learning? Are we finally moving from a scattered intelligence to a coherent space of collaborative intelligence? How close we are to the vision of the Educational Semantic Web and what do we need to do in order to realize it?…
