Background: The ever-increasing computational demands call for optimal resource utilisation and system performance in the cloud environment. Organisations are increasingly migrating workloads to cloud platforms, mandating the need for efficient resource distribution. Load balancing, a critical cloud component, ensures equitable distribution of…

With the emergence of technology, the personalization of e-learning systems is enhanced. These systems use a set of parameters for personalizing courses. However, in literature, these parameters are not based on classification and optimization algorithms to implement them in the cloud. Cloud computing is a new model of computing where standard and…

Learning object repositories are a shared, open and public space; however, the possibility and ability of personal expression in an open, global, public space is crucial. The aim of this study is to explore personal spaces in a big learning object repository as a facilitator for adoption of Open Educational Resources (OER) into teaching practices…

The continuously growth of learning resources available in on-line repositories has raised the concern for the development of automated methods for quality assessment. The current existence of on-line evaluations in such repositories has opened the possibility of searching for statistical profiles of highly-rated resources that can be used as…

Discusses the current status of classification and its future possibilities based on the 1997 International ISKO Conference in London. Topics include its role in information storage and retrieval systems; new uses due to technological changes; term relationships and hierarchies; vocabularies; knowledge organization, hyperlinks, and…

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…

The IADIS CELDA 2012 Conference intention was to address the main issues concerned with evolving learning processes and supporting pedagogies and applications in the digital age. There had been advances in both cognitive psychology and computing that have affected the educational arena. The convergence of these two disciplines is increasing at a…
