With the proliferation of social Web applications, users can now collaboratively author, share and access hypermedia learning resources, contributing to richer learning experiences outside formal education. These resources may or may not be educational. However, they can be harnessed for educational purposes by adapting and personalizing them to different learner needs. We propose to collaboratively annotate learning resources with a lightweight resource annotation metadata schema complemented by a folksonomy-derived semantic model. The annotation metadata schema follows a novel policy to associate numerical ratings to learners' subjective expression of opinions on learning resources. On the other hand, the semantic model serves to support a collaborative resource recommendation algorithm based on the k-nearest neighbour approach. Proof-ofconcept is demonstrated via a prototype Web-based recommender. Preliminary results indicate learners are confident with the recommended learning resources in terms of accuracy, usefulness, novelty and information adequacy. Formalization of folksonomy in annotating learning resources as well as in opinion mining from the crowd to rate resources may not only support personalization but also engage learners more effectively in technology-enhanced learning.
Industrial 4.0 technology of cyber-physical system enables real-time monitoring, sensing and actuating of physical machinery for predictive maintenance that replaces the conventional labor-intensive approach. This paper presents the design and development of a universal, cost-effective and internet of thing (IoT)-based proof-of-concept prototype universal cyber-physical system (UniCPS) with a cloud platform with an open and modular-based design of three-tier system architecture. The prototype demonstrates promising precision and accuracy for predictive maintenance on a pilot use case with MAPE of 3.77%, and average RMSE of 0.50. Besides, real-time visualization and detection of anomaly were also demonstrated with a cloud-based solution. The maintenance alert sent out by the actuator serves to notify the authorized personnel immediately for corrective action. As an extension to this work, a wireless sensor network can be incorporated in future work to acquire various data from diverse locations to overcome the limitations of sensor data.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
