Call for Papers
AIMS:
With the advent of the Internet, we are seeing more sophisticated techniques being developed to support e-learning. The rapid development of Web-based learning and new concepts like virtual classrooms, virtual laboratories and virtual universities introduces many new issues to be addressed. On the technical side, we need to develop effective e- technologies for supporting distance education. On the learning and management side, we need to consider issues such as new style of learning and different system set-up requirements. Finally, the issue of standardization of e-learning systems should also be considered. In this special issue, our focus will be on the technical side, although other issues related to knowledge and data engineering for e-learning may also be considered.
TOPICS:
In this special issue, we call for original papers describing novel knowledge and data engineering techniques that support e-learning. Preference will be given to papers that include an evaluation of users'' experience in using the proposed methods. Areas of interests include, but are not limited to:
- Semantic Web technology for e-learning
- Data modeling (eg., XML) for efficient management of course materials
- Searching and indexing techniques to support effective course notes retrieval
- User-centric e-learning systems and user interaction management
- Profiling techniques to support grading and learning recommendation
- Data and knowledge base support for pervasive e-learning
- Course material analysis and understanding
- Automatic generation of questions and answers
- Collaborative communities for e-learning
