A proposed architectural learner model for a personalized learning environment.

Nowadays, the need for e-learning is amplified, especially after the Covid-19 pandemic. E-learning platforms present a solution for the continuity of the learning process. Learners are using different platforms and tools for learning. For this, it is necessary to model the learner for the personalization of the learning environment according to his needs, and characteristics, which will allow having a more effective and efficient environment. The existing literature maintains that the learner model represents the basis and the key to adaptation. To achieve this goal, we propose a new adaptation aspect of the learner model by integrating relevant information such as learning style, domain-related data, assessment-related data, and affective data. It has advantages in terms of precision as it solves the problem of management uncertainty of some parameters. Our approach suggests that the combination of stereotype method, fuzzy logic, and similarity techniques is an appropriate approach for initializing and updating the learner model for learning personalization.

Association between preference and e-learning readiness among the Bangladeshi female nursing students in the COVID-19 pandemic: a cross-sectional study

BackgroundThe COVID-19 pandemic jeopardized the traditional academic learning calendars due to the closing of all educational institutions across the globe. To keep up with the flow of learning, most of the educational institutions shifted toward e-learning. However, the students’ e-learning preference and e-learning readiness did not identify, particularly among the Bangladeshi female nursing students, where those can pose serious challenges. A cross-sectional study was carried out among the female nursing students between December 26, 2020, and January 11, 2021. A total of 237 students were recruited who have enrolled in e-learning at least the last 30 days of the participation. Multivariable linear regression models were fitted to find the association of students’ preference, e-learning readiness domains, and other variables.ResultsA cross-sectional study was conducted among the female nursing students to assess perceived e-learning readiness in the subdomains of readiness; availability, technology use, self-confidence, acceptance and training. The findings of the study revealed that the prevalence of preference for e-learning was 43.46%. The students did not prefer e-learning compared to ‘prefer group’ has significantly less availability of technology (β = − 3.01, 95% CI − 4.46, − 1.56), less use of technology (β = − 3.08, 95% CI − 5.11, − 1.06), less self-confidence (β = − 4.50, 95% CI − 7.02, − 1.98), less acceptance (β = − 5.96, 95% CI − 7.76, − 4.16) and less training need (β = − 1.86, 95% CI − 2.67, − 1.06). The age, degree, residence, parents’ highest education, having a single room, and having any eye problems were significantly associated with the variation of availability of technology, use of technology, self-confidence, acceptance, and training need of e-learning.ConclusionsThe outcomes of the study could be helpful while developing an effective and productive e-learning infrastructure regarding the preparedness of nursing colleges for the continuation of academia in any adverse circumstances like the COVID-19 pandemic.

It was also recommended that the Students should be given adequate orientation on the importance, use and need of e-learning in the school system.

Creación de un libro de texto electrónico para estudiantes universitarios

The need for e-learning in modern Russia is caused by the rapid development of informatization, digitalization, information and communication technologies, the creation of a global environment for mutual integration of cultures and disciplines, as well as the formation of open continuous education, which is the basis of a post-industrial (information) society. These processes stimulate an active search for creative educational practices that meet the requirements of the information society. A modern specialist must have a certain amount of knowledge that will allow him to learn constantly, improve his skills and abilities, self-develop and self-actualize in order to keep up with the time of changes in the information society. In the framework of the modern educational paradigm, the student is considered as a subject of knowledge, not an object of pedagogical influence. In the early – mid-2010s, this is actively promoted by electronic learning (e-learning, EL), which should be used in various educational organizations. E-learning allows integrating into the world scientific community, becoming subjects of interaction between cultures, including the exchange of spiritual values. Implementation of EL is one of the key tasks in the context of modernization of national education. The term “electronic learning” is translated into Russian in various ways. The most popular options are: “distance learning/education”, “mobile learning”, and “virtual learning”. The European Commission interprets “e-learning” as “using new multimedia and Internet technologies to improve the quality of learning by improving access to resources and services, as well as remote knowledge sharing and collaboration”. In this study, the concept of “e-learning” will correspond to the phrase “electronic learning”. This is an educational process based on interactive electronic means of storing and providing information: the Internet, corporate networks, and CDs.

Risks and Remedies in E-Learning System

One of the most effective applications of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is the emergence of E-Learning. Considering the importance and need of E-Learning, recent years have seen a drastic change of learning methodologies in Higher Education. Undoubtedly ,the three main entities of E-Learning system can be considered as Student, Teacher & Controlling Authority and there will be different level, but a good E-Learning system needs total integrity among all entities in every level. Apart from integrity enforcement, security enforcement in the whole system is the other crucial way to organize the it. As internet is the backbone of the entire system which is inherently insecure , during transaction of message in E-Learning system, hackers attack by utilising different loopholes of technology. So different security measures are required to be imposed on the system. In this paper, emphasis is given on different risks called e-risks and their remedies called e-remedies to build trust in the minds of all participants of E-Learning system..

Un modelo para la evaluacion de la calidad e-learning

<p align="left">La Agencia Nacional Sueca de Educación Superior llevó a cabo un estudio en el periodo 2007-2008, para adquirir conocimiento acerca de lo que constituye la calidad <em>e-learning</em>, y cómo puede ser evaluada dentro del esquema de un sistema nacional de asesoría de calidad. El presente ensayo exhibe un modelo para la valuación de la citada calidad. El modelo ha evolucionado mediante el análisis de documentos legales, de redes y de proyectos de desarrollo iniciados dentro del contexto de cooperación europea, así como mediante el análisis de la forma en la cual diferentes organizaciones de evaluación nacional, y agencias encargadas de la promoción del desarrollo nacional de <em>e-learning</em>, lidiaron con la cuestión de la evaluación de calidad de <em>e-learning </em>y la educación a distancia. Estas descripciones y análisis abarcan nueve países. Los análisis indican que mientras <em>e-learning </em>es parte de la agenda europea, en países individuales, solo recientemente y de manera mucho más esporádica, ha surgido el tema de cómo la calidad de <em>e-learning </em>debe ser asesorada. En muchas organizaciones, la calidad de <em>e-learning </em>no parece ser un problema de interés. Un sondeo de investigaciones recientes en el área ―que está incluso en este estudio― sirve como base central para el modelo de evaluación propuesto.</p><p align="left">El modelo de la Agencia Nacional para la estimación de la calidad en <em>e-learning </em>«Calidad e-learning» (E-learning quality –ELQ) comprende diez aspectos de calidad los cuales, a nuestro parecer, son centrales para dicha asesoría: 1) Material/contenido; 2) Estructura/ambiente virtual; 3) Comunicación, cooperación e interactividad; 4) Evaluación del estudiante; 5) Flexibilidad y adaptabilidad; 6) Apoyo (estudiantil y del personal); 7) Cualificaciones y experiencia del personal docente; 8) Visión y liderazgo institucional; 9) Asignación de recursos; 10) Procesos y aspectos integrales.</p><p align="left">Más allá, nuestra opinión es que la calidad <em>e-learning </em>debe ser asesorada desde la perspectiva de un sistema, por ejemplo, que la calidad de la educación sea determinada por todos los aspectos antes mencionados en conjunto, y por sus interrelaciones. Otra conclusión central es que si una agencia nacional u otra organización evalúan <em>e-learning</em>, no es suficiente con simplemente establecer aspectos de calidad. El cuerpo evaluador también debe desarrollar y adaptar sus propios métodos de trabajo y garantizar la aptitud interna: los métodos existentes de evaluación de calidad deben ser adaptados; aspectos de calidad de <em>e-learning </em>deben ser integrados en sistemas de asesoría de calidad; la competencia interna y la provisión de información en el área <em>e-learning </em>deben ser garantizadas; los métodos de trabajo internos deben ser adaptados a las condiciones especiales y pertinentes para la asesoría de la educación sin fronteras.</p>
