Evaluation of e-learning systems based on fuzzy clustering models and statistical tools

A model for assessing the impact of e-learning systems on employees’ satisfaction

“…The design and implementation of e-learning (web-based education) systems have grown exponentially in the last years, motivated by the fact that neither students nor teachers are bound to a specific location (Hogo, 2010). E-learning can be defined as a distributed and Internet-based learning environment that utilizes educational tools to facilitate learning and knowledge building through meaningful action and interaction (Dabbagh, 2005).…”

Topic-driven semi-automatic reorganization of online discussion forums: A case study in an e-learning context

“…The approach presented in this paper performs a sort of clustering as forum messages are in fact grouped into similar discussion topic classes. Association Rules for classification has been widely adopted in e-learning, in particular recommendation systems [24], [25], learning material organization [26], student learning assessments [27], course adaptation to the students behavior [28], and evaluation of educational websites [29]. Recent research trends in educational research recommend the development of cooperative learning and knowledge sharing inside student groups [30].…”

Web 3D simulation-based application in tourism education: A case study with Second Life

“…Discussions on the application of information communication technologies (ICTs) or computermediated communications (CMCs) in higher education settings as a new delivery channel have become popular in academic publications (Curtis & Lawson, 2001;Girard & Pinar, 2011;Hogo, 2010;Liaw, Huang, & Chen, 2007;Robinson, 2011;Stricker, Weibel, & Wissmath, 2011). In the past few years, three-dimensional (hereafter 3D) virtual worlds have been widely adopted by educators around the world (Mayrath, Traphagan, Heikes, & Trivedi, 2009).…”
