HUMOS: How to Understand My Orbitrap Spectrum?-An Interactive Web-Based Tool to Teach the Basics of Mass-Spectrometry-Based Proteomics.

The Orbitrap mass analyzer can provide high mass accuracy and throughput, which has significantly improved proteome research and made this type of instrumentation one of the most frequently applied in proteomics. The efficient use of Orbitrap mass spectrometers requires training. Students in the field of proteomics can benefit from a deeper understanding of the Orbitrap technology to comprehend mass spectral interpretation, troubleshooting, and judgment of experimental settings. Unfortunately, the cost of high-end mass spectrometers limits the implementation of this type of equipment in educational laboratories. Guided by these concerns, we developed an eLearning web application called HUMOS aimed to help teach Orbitrap mass spectrometry. Although a typical proteomics experiment includes the use of several different technologies, such as liquid chromatography, mass spectrometry, and bioinformatics, the learning objectives of HUMOS are focused on mass spectrometry. HUMOS models a mass spectrum of a peptide mixture, allowing us to investigate the influence of mass spectral acquisition parameters. By changing the parameters and observing the differences, students can learn more about the mass spectral resolution, duty cycle, throughput of the analysis, ion accumulation, and spectral dynamic range and get familiar with advanced spectral acquisition methods, such as BoxCar. HUMOS is an open-source software published under the Apache license; the live installation is available at http://humos.bmb.sdu.dk.

Random forest application on cognitive level classification of E-learning content

The e-learning is the primary method of learning for most learners after the regular academics studies. The knowledge delivery through e-learning technologies increased exponentially over the years because of the advancement in internet and e-learning technologies. Knowledge delivery to some people would never have been possible without the e-learning technologies. Most of the working professional do focused studies for carrier advancement, promotion or to improve the domain knowledge. These learner can find many free e-learning web sites from the internet easily in the domain of interest. However it is quite difficult to find the best e-learning content suitable for their learning based on their domain knowledge level. User spent most of the time figuring out the right content from a plethora of available content and end up learning nothing. An intelligent framework using machine learning algorithms with Random Forest Classifier is proposed to address this issue, which classifies the e-learning content based on its difficulty levels and provide the learner the best content suitable based on the knowledge level .The frame work is trained with the data set collected from multiple popular e-learning web sites. The model is tested with real time e-learning web sites links and found that the e-contents in the web sites are recommended to the user based on its difficulty levels as beginner level, intermediate level and advanced level.

Development and Integration of E-learning Services Using REST APIs

E-Learning systems have gained a lot of traction amongst students and academicians due to their flexible nature in terms of location independence, time, effort, cost and other resources. The rapidly changing nature of the education domain makes the design, development, testing, and maintenance of E-Learning systems complex and expensive. In order to adapt to the changing policies of educational institutes as well as improve the performance of students, the paper presents a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) approach to minimize the cost and time associated with the development of E-Learning systems. The paper illustrates the development of independent E-Learning web services and how they can be combined to implement the required policies of respective education institutes. The paper also presents a sample policy implemented using developed web services to achieve the required objectives.

Machine Learning Based Text Document Classification for E-Learning

The number of e-learning websites as well as e-contents are increasing exponentially over the years and most of the time it become cumbersome for a learner to find e-content suitable for learning as the learner gets overwhelmed by the enormity of the content availability. The proposed work focus on evaluating the efficiencies of the different classification algorithm for the identification of the e-learning content based on difficulty levels. The data is collected from many e-learning web sites through web scraping. The web scraper downloads the web pages and parse to text file. The text files were made to run through many machine learning classification algorithms to find out the best classification model suitable for achieving the highest score with minimum training and testing time. This method helps to understand the performance of different text classification algorithms on e-learning contents and identifies the classifier with high accuracy for document classification.

Conceptual Model for Profiling Student Behavior Experience in e-Learning

Most e-Learning web application known as Learning Management Systems are associated with collaboration in a web page. It allows a user to interact directly with multiple application in any web platform together with other users. However, the action of the users has not been thoroughly analyzed. Due to the medium of teaching, implementation is through online. It is nec-essary to analyse each student behaviour characteristics of blended learning implementation so that lecturer can adjust how online activities are per-formed. In this paper, we propose a conceptual model in profiling student behaviour in e-Learning based on metadata approach and Community of In-quiry Model. We adopt a metadata approach in collecting student experience in e-Learning and Community of Inquiry Model to mapping the online stu-dent experiences. This conceptual model provides the basis for evaluating student behaviour characteristics in online learning with the goal of im-proved student engagement and online activity design.

An investigation into visual complexity and aesthetic preference to facilitate the creation of more appropriate learning analytics systems for children

The purpose of learning analytics is to optimise learning and the environment in which it occurs. However, while much research has been conducted into how to measure, collect and analyse learner data, little has been conducted into how to aesthetically display information to learners in dashboards and educational materials online to maximise its appeal.This experiment examined the relationship between children's age and their aesthetic preferences towards visual complexity in e-learning web pages designed for them. It applied Berlyne's theory of aesthetic preference: a theory that suggests that people prefer a medium level of stimuli to a low or high level of stimuli. It asked 180 Taiwanese primary school children to indicate their aesthetic preferences towards web pages of high, medium and low visual complexity. The children were divided into three groups: 7-8 year-olds, 9-10 year-olds and 11-12 year-olds.When the ratings of the three age groups were looked at together, they revealed that the children preferred e-learning web pages that had a medium level of visual complexity to those that had a high or low level of visual complexity. As such, the results supported Berlyne's theory. However, when the ratings of the age groups were looked at separately with respect to aesthetic factors, differences were found. In particular, it was found that the 7-8 year-olds preferred e-learning web pages that had a high level of colourfulness while the 9-12 year-olds did not.

Exchange of Geometric Information Between Applications

The Web Geometry Laboratory (WGL) is a collaborative and adaptive e-learning Web platform integrating a well known dynamic geometry system. Thousands of Geometric problems for Geometric Theorem Provers (TGTP) is a Web-based repository of geometric problems to support the testing and evaluation of geometric automated theorem proving systems. The users of these systems should be able to profit from each other. The TGTP corpus must be made available to the WGL user, allowing, in this way, the exploration of TGTP problems and their proofs. On the other direction TGTP could gain by the possibility of a wider users base submitting new problems. Such information exchange between clients (e.g. WGL) and servers (e.g. TGTP) raises many issues: geometric search - someone, working in a geometric problem, must be able to ask for more information regarding that construction; levels of geometric knowledge and interest - the problems in the servers must be classified in such a way that, in response to a client query, only the problems in the user's level and/or interest are returned; different aims of each tool - e.g. WGL is about secondary school geometry, TGTP is about formal proofs in semi-analytic and algebraic proof methods, not a perfect match indeed; localisation issues, e.g. a Portuguese user obliged to make the query and process the answer in English; technical issues-many technical issues need to be addressed to make this exchange of geometric information possible and useful. Instead of a giant (difficult to maintain) tool, trying to cover all, the interconnection of specialised tools seems much more promising. The challenges to make that connection work are many and difficult, but, it is the authors impression, not insurmountable.

Development and Composition of E-Learning Web Services Using Service Oriented Architecture

In recent era of cloud computing, web service technology has become the most important and popular technology to generate and provide dynamic web services. The utility computing and on-demand services are the basic characteristics of cloud computing, where any legacy web application can be converted into dynamic web services as per the requirements. Some web services need to be combined with defined business logic or rules to satisfy the customer. Web service composition is the cost-effective way of developing combined services for any web application. Web services are services with standard interfaces that provide specific functionality of application. Web services are usually implemented using Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). Web services are combined to make two or more web services communicate with each other to provide combined functionality. To make service oriented architecture effective, services needs to be identified and defined correctly. In this paper, a methodology is defined to identify, implement and combine the web services for an e-learning application. An E-learning application is created by using various web services and combined by specifying certain rules. E-learning is an electronic educational technology where the e-learning portal is implemented using SOA approach. The paper aims at three main objectives: web services creation, composition of web services and handling the exceptions for composition. The four main web services considered for e-learning application are contents, quiz, assignment and forum. Web services are combined using Orchestration and Choreography techniques and compared with the response time of the services execution

E-learning implementation in superior technical educational system

E-learning methods apply to most modern and various domains but also represent a great tool for the mechanical educational system where there are a lot of sustained efforts for its implementation. Using, administrating and maintaining an e-learning system for a certain field of study requires knowledge related to computation system's utilization but also the understanding the working mechanisms behind it that allows the system to be fully customized in order to be perfect fitted to the user's needs and requirements. A Moodle based test is evaluated from several points of views such as coherence clarity, concise content, information synthesis capacity and the presentation mode which makes the difference between clear or fuzzy graphical representations or terms. The authors appreciate that the ability of managing information in real time by the professor is a decisive decision in order to successfully implement an e-learning web platform. Updating information and structuring trainee's activities from thoroughgoing study up to their individual proposals for conceived applications leads to a better understanding and practical knowledge of theory.
