“…Some experts suggest that any website with a good SEO score is 80 and above. Search engines use XML data from semantic networks, however, their usage in the educational sector is low [ 35 ]. This can explain the relatively low SEO scores of Moodle web applications in Central Asian universities.…”

Search engine optimization (SEO) is an important tool that can predict the number of website visits, and good SEO strategies can help increase the visibility of educational resources. In the current article, the relevance between Search engine optimization (SEO) characteristics and the number of Moodle users in four Central Asian countries was examined. The analysis of learning management systems covered 38 Moodle websites. Analysis was conducted using semi-automated tools. Results suggested that although there is no difference in general SEO scores of Moodle installations, page structures and link structures in websites of different countries were dissimilar. Also, server configuration practices were different. In addition, there was a positive correspondence between the number of visits to a website and the number of external factors; the duration of users’ visits was correlated with page structure. As for the normalized number of visits, the analysis revealed that in Kazakh universities, students use the Moodle system more frequently in a day than in other countries, while visits to Tajik universities’ Moodle platforms were the lowest; the difference was 53 users per day.

“…To assist in information management and information compatibility among different systems, Pegadas standardizes some information. The standardization proposal was based on microformats (Prabhakar 2005) and it is supported by other learning aid environments that also use microformats as standard for data (Ermalai et al 2013;Dragulescu et al 2011;Tomberg and Laanpere 2009;Ermalai et al 2009). In the context of Pegadas, the microformats suggested as standard for the information are as follows ( Figure 7):…”

Applications for learning and training have been developed and highlighted as important tools in health education. Despite the several approaches and initiatives, these tools have not been used in an integrated way. The specific skills approached by each application, the absence of a consensus about how to integrate them in the curricula, and the necessity of evaluation tools that standardize their utilization are the main difficulties. Considering these issues, Portal of Games and Environments Management for Designing Activities in Health (Pegadas) was designed and developed as a web portal that offers the services of organizing and sequencing serious games and virtual environments and evaluating the performance of the user in these activities. This article presents the structure of Pegadas, including the proposal of an evaluation model based on learning objectives. The results indicate its potential to collaborate with human resources training from the proposal of the sequencing, allowing a linked composition of activities and providing the reinforcement or complement of tasks and contents in a progressive scale with planned educational objective-based evaluation. These results can contribute to expand the discussions about ways to integrate the use of these applications in health curricula.

“…For example, Google relies on microformats for creating a visually attractive method of displaying search result -the Rich Snippets [36]. A detailed description of the development and integration were published in various papers, amongst which the latest is waiting for evaluation [37]. A model for Q&A-based collaborative learning.…”

Abstract. Continuously emerging forms of eLearning like MOOC (Massive Open Online Courses), PLE (Personal Learning Environment) and the use of Semantic Web standards in learning environments, are consistent proof that IT, the Internet, the World Wide Web, Content Management Systems, audio/video lectures, videoconferences, Semantic Web are here to stay, evolve and furthermore, to take control of the learning process, making from it a flexible, viable, profitable and extensively used solution for delivering knowledge. In this general context, the present paper offers an eLearning state-of-the-art and an overview of the trends and technologies proposed, developed and implemented in a particular eLearning environment, over the last years, as part of a postdoctoral research program. The mentioned environment was the Moodle portal used at the "Politehnica" University of Timisoara, the implemented standards were the hCard and hCalendar microformats and the proposed model was one of collective learning through question answering.
