“…Kagwa and Kambyashi (1997) indicated the importance of using advanced database technologies integration in distance learning which will improve the overall quality of distance learning delivery by maximizing interaction between the learner and the educator [17]. The usage of technology based support system increases the interest of both learner and educator [18].…”

Allama Iqbal Open University (AIOU) is the largest distance learning institute of Pakistan and providing education to 1.4 million students. This is fairly a large setup across the country where students are geographically distributed. Currently the system works on a manual approach which is not efficient. Allocation of tutors and study centers to students plays a key role in distance learning for a better learning environment. Assigning tutors and study centers to distance learning students is a challenging task when there is huge geographical spread. The utilization of geospatial technologies in open and distance learning can fix allocation problems. This research analyzes the real data of twin cities Islamabad and Rawalpindi. The results show that the geospatial technologies can be used for efficient and proper resource utilization and allocation, which in turn can save the time and money. The overall idea fits into improved distance learning framework and related analytics.

Allama Iqbal Open University (AIOU) is Pakistan's largest distance learning institute, providing education to 1.4 million students. This is a fairly large setup across a country where students are highly geographically distributed. Currently, the system works using a manual approach, which is not efficient. Allocation of tutors and study centers to students plays a key role in creating a better learning environment for distance learning. Assigning tutors and study centers to distance learning students is a challenging task when there is a huge geographic spread. Using geospatial technologies in open and distance learning can fix allocation problems. This research analyzes real data from the twin cities Islamabad and Rawalpindi. The results show that geospatial technologies can be used for efficient and proper resource utilization and allocation, which in turn can save time and money.

“…Group learning is a task domain of intelligent cooperative work for the purpose of education of students [1][2][3][4][5], in which each student in a group acquires knowledge effectively with exchanging information with a teacher and other students. The information exchanged here includes conversations between teacher and students (advice and question), contents of the problems to be solved, solving method, examples of solutions, and so on.…”

“…The objective of these systems is to accelerate process of cooperative work among group members who physically exist in a distance. Examples of these systems are cooperative CAD system, support system for project-based software development, cooperative editing system, distance e-Learning system, etc [3][4][5]. Using traditional cooperative work support system, group members can pursue their jobs as if other members are physically close to them, even if they actually are in a distance.…”

In this paper, we propose a scheme to effectively support cooperative works by controlling information flow from real space (RS) to digital space (DS), and from DS to RS, based on the concept of ''Symbiotic Computing.'' In practice, our scheme controls availability of shared workspace in DS for cooperative works, according to the situation of tasks and workers in RS, in order to accelerate cooperative works, along with reinforcing ''value placed on information.'' Using this scheme, advanced support to improve quality of intellectual cooperative works can be realized. In this paper, we apply our proposed scheme to group learning domain. This is an educational activity domain where group members including a teacher and several students cooperatively solve the given problems. Applying to this domain, we show that the proposed scheme, i.e., suitable availability control of shared workspace in DS, can accelerate the cooperative works. From experiment results, we found that the cooperative problem solving by teacher and students were accelerated. Also we confirmed that the learning outcomes were improved, by controlling availability of the shared workspace, according to the progress of the group learning process. From these results we evaluated the effectiveness of our proposal.
