Hsu, I-Ching – Educational Technology & Society, 2012
The concept of learning objects has been applied in the e-learning field to promote the accessibility, reusability, and interoperability of learning content. Learning Object Metadata (LOM) was developed to achieve these goals by describing learning objects in order to provide meaningful metadata. Unfortunately, the conventional LOM lacks the…

Verbert, Katrien; Manouselis, Nikos; Drachsler, Hendrik; Duval, Erik – Educational Technology & Society, 2012
In various research areas, the availability of open datasets is considered as key for research and application purposes. These datasets are used as benchmarks to develop new algorithms and to compare them to other algorithms in given settings. Finding such available datasets for experimentation can be a challenging task in technology enhanced…

Greller, Wolfgang; Drachsler, Hendrik – Educational Technology & Society, 2012
With the increase in available educational data, it is expected that Learning Analytics will become a powerful means to inform and support learners, teachers and their institutions in better understanding and predicting personal learning needs and performance. However, the processes and requirements behind the beneficial application of Learning…

Dyckhoff, Anna Lea; Zielke, Dennis; Bultmann, Mareike; Chatti, Mohamed Amine; Schroeder, Ulrik – Educational Technology & Society, 2012
Learning Analytics can provide powerful tools for teachers in order to support them in the iterative process of improving the effectiveness of their courses and to collaterally enhance their students' performance. In this paper, we present the theoretical background, design, implementation, and evaluation details of eLAT, a Learning Analytics…

Shih, Wen-Chung; Tseng, Shian-Shyong – Educational Technology & Society, 2009
With the rapid development of wireless communication and sensor technologies, ubiquitous learning has become a promising solution to educational problems. In context-aware ubiquitous learning environments, it is required that learning content is retrieved according to environmental contexts, such as learners' location. Also, a learning content…

Hung, Jui-Long; Hsu, Yu-Chang; Rice, Kerry – Educational Technology & Society, 2012
This study investigated an innovative approach of program evaluation through analyses of student learning logs, demographic data, and end-of-course evaluation surveys in an online K-12 supplemental program. The results support the development of a program evaluation model for decision making on teaching and learning at the K-12 level. A case study…

Macfadyen, Leah P.; Dawson, Shane – Educational Technology & Society, 2012
Learning analytics offers higher education valuable insights that can inform strategic decision-making regarding resource allocation for educational excellence. Research demonstrates that learning management systems (LMSs) can increase student sense of community, support learning communities and enhance student engagement and success, and LMSs…

Linsey, Tim; Tompsett, Christopher – Educational Technology & Society, 2007
It seems a foregone conclusion that repositories for reusable learning objects (RLOs), based on common standards and supported by suitable search facilities, will foster a global economic market in the production of RLOs. Actual reuse will support producers of high-quality RLOs, and other producers will be unable to compete, i.e. competition…

Su, Jun-Ming; Tseng, Shian-Shyong; Wang, Wei; Weng, Jui-Feng; Yang, Jin Tan David; Tsai, Wen-Nung – Educational Technology & Society, 2006
With vigorous development of the Internet, e-learning system has become more and more popular. Sharable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM) 2004 provides the Sequencing and Navigation (SN) Specification to define the course sequencing behavior, control the sequencing, selecting and delivering of course, and organize the content into a…

Henze, Nicola; Dolog, Peter; Nejdl, Wolfgang – Educational Technology & Society, 2004
The challenge of the semantic web is the provision of distributed information with well-defined meaning, understandable for different parties. Particularly, applications should be able to provide individually optimized access to information by taking the individual needs and requirements of the users into account. In this paper we propose a…

Brase, Jan; Painter, Mark – Educational Technology & Society, 2004
Learning Objects Metadata (LOM) aims at describing educational resources in order to allow better reusability and retrieval. In this article we show how additional inference rules allows us to derive additional metadata from existing ones. Additionally, using these rules as integrity constraints helps us to define the constraints on LOM elements,…

Abel, Marie-Helene; Benayache, Ahcene; Lenne, Dominique; Moulin, Claude; Barry, Catherine; Chaput, Brigitte – Educational Technology & Society, 2004
E-learning leads to evolutions in the way of designing a course. Diffused through the web, the course content cannot be the direct transcription of a face to face course content. A course can be seen as an organization in which different actors are involved. These actors produce documents, information and knowledge that they often share. We…
