Abstract: When studying electronics, hands-on experience is considered to be very valuable for a better understanding of the concepts of electricity and electronics. Students lacking sufficient time in the lab are often put at disadvantage. A way to overcome this, is by using interactive multimedia in a virtual environment. Instead of proposing another new ad-hoc simulator for e-learning, we propose in this paper an e-learning platform integrating the SPICE simulator as a web service. This enables to make use of all the functions of the de-facto standard simulator SPICE inelectronics when developing new simulations.
Abstract: In this contribution a newly developed elearning environment is presented, which incorporates Intelligent Agents and Computational Intelligence Techniques. The new e-learning environment is constituted by three parts, the E-learning platform Front-End, the Student Questioner Reasoning and the Student Model Agent. These parts are distributed geographically in dispersed computer servers, with main focus on the design and development of these subsystems through the use of new and emerging technologies. These parts are interconnected in an interoperable way, using web services for the integration of the subsystems, in order to enhance the user modelling procedure and achieve the goals of the learning process.
Abstract: In this paper, we give an overview of an online elearning
tool which has been developed for kids aged from nine to
eleven years old in Mauritius for the self-study of Mathematics in
order to prepare them for the CPE examination. The software does
not intend to render obsolete the existing pedagogical approaches.
Nowadays, the teaching-learning process is mainly focused towards
the class-room model. Moreover, most of the e-learning platforms
that exist are simply static ways of delivering resources using the
internet. There is nearly no interaction between the learner and the
tool. Our application will enable students to practice exercises online
and also work out sample examination papers. Another interesting
feature is that the kid will not have to wait for someone to correct the
work as the correction will be done online and on the spot. Additional
feedback is also provided for some exercises.
