Abstract

A comprehensive e-learning system with simulation capabilities for understanding of complex equations is proposed. Through experiment with the proposed e-learning system, it is found that the proposed system is much effective and comprehensive than the conventional e-learning system without any mathematical expressions of processing and simulation capabilities by 14.5 %, the time required for learning increased by 18.2% though. In addition, the proposed system not only helps students to understand subjects and complex equations but also can be effective to increase students’ motivation to learn.

Highlights

The use of e-learning is increasing every year
SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model) is one of those which is advocated by ADL (Advanced Distributed Learning)
The basic design concept and the feature of the proposed e-learning system is as follows: 1) Client-Server Model 2) PHP based programing for user interface 3) C programing language is available for users 4) There are three major capabilities, simulation functions, data handling, and data deletion 5) Web based browser with Flash

Summary

Introduction

The use of e-learning is increasing every year. Standardization is being promoted by various organizations. SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model) is one of those which is advocated by ADL (Advanced Distributed Learning). There are some standardized e-learning systems such as AICC (Aviation Industry Computer-Based Training Committee), SCORM, and xAPI/Tin Can API (the successor to SCORM) SCORM. The AICC2 is dissolved, but having an LMS that supports AICC is still crucial. These universal specifications set forth by the AICC soon reached far beyond the aviation community and into the corporate training world, making AICC the first e-learning standard in the world
