Li, Frederick W. B.; Lau, Rynson W. H.; Dharmendran, Parthiban – International Journal of Distance Education Technologies, 2010
Existing adaptive e-learning methods are supported by student (user) profiling for capturing student characteristics, and course structuring for organizing learning materials according to topics and levels of difficulties. Adaptive courses are then generated by extracting materials from the course structure to match the criteria specified in the…

He, Aiguo – International Journal of Distance Education Technologies, 2009
A real-time interactive distance lecture is a joint work that should be accomplished by the effort of the lecturer and his students in remote sites. It is important for the lecturer to get understanding information from the students which cannot be efficiently collected by only using video/audio channels between the lecturer and the students. This…

Hsu, Pi-Shan; Chang, Te-Jeng; Wu, Ming-Hsiung – International Journal of Distance Education Technologies, 2009
The level of learners' expertise has been used as a metric and diagnostic mechanism of instruction. This metric influences mental effort directly according to the applications of cognitive load theory. Cognitive efficiency, an optimal measurement technique of expertise, was developed by Kalyuga and Sweller to replace instructional efficiency in…

Shen, Pei-Di; Lee, Tsang-Hsiung; Tsai, Chia-Wen – International Journal of Distance Education Technologies, 2008
The computer software education in vocational schools in Taiwan can hardly be deemed as effective. To increase students' learning motivation and develop practical skills, innovative learning designs such as problem-based learning(PBL) and self-regulated learning (SRL) are on trial in this specific context. We conducted a series of…

Chang, Wen-Chih; Yang, Hsuan-Che; Shih, Timothy K.; Chao, Louis R. – International Journal of Distance Education Technologies, 2009
E-learning provides a convenient and efficient way for learning. Formative assessment not only guides student in instruction and learning, diagnose skill or knowledge gaps, but also measures progress and evaluation. An efficient and convenient e-learning formative assessment system is the key character for e-learning. However, most e-learning…
