Deliyska, Boryana; Manoilov, Peter – International Journal of Distance Education Technologies, 2010
The intelligent learning systems provide direct customized instruction to the learners without the intervention of human tutors on the basis of Semantic Web resources. Principal roles use ontologies as instruments for modeling learning processes, learners, learning disciplines and resources. This paper examines the variety, relationships, and…

Chen, C. M. – Computers & Education, 2008
Personalized curriculum sequencing is an important research issue for web-based learning systems because no fixed learning paths will be appropriate for all learners. Therefore, many researchers focused on developing e-learning systems with personalized learning mechanisms to assist on-line web-based learning and adaptively provide learning paths…

Hauptman, Hanoch – Computers & Education, 2010
Developing a software environment to enhance 3D geometric proficiency demands the consideration of theoretical views of the learning process. Simultaneously, this effort requires taking into account the range of tools that technology offers, as well as their limitations. In this paper, we report on the design of Virtual Spaces 1.0 software, a…

Ohl, Todd Michael – Journal of Educational Multimedia and Hypermedia, 2001
Considers whether current definitions of interactivity in educational software are optimal and suggests a new model of interaction based on how learners interact mentally with new schema and on educational psychology. Discusses knowledge acquisition; production, or the creation of new knowledge; collaboration; and applying the learning interaction…

Yang, Chia-Shing; Moore, David M. – Journal of Educational Technology Systems, 1996
Explores the principles and theories relevant to the design of effective hypermedia courseware. Proposes a hypermedia design: micro-(node) design, dealing with the creation of discrete information screens; and macro-(links), dealing with the connections between them. Presents a prototype courseware template and a courseware unit based on design…
