Determining the factors influencing students’ intention to use m-learning in Jordan higher education

M-learning is characterized as a powerful element of learning and education for facilitating the learning experiences. With enhanced and rapid advancements in technologies of ICTs (Information and Communication Technologies) and mobile, numerous innovative services and applications are being developed. Therefore, it becomes significant to investigate the factors influencing the intentions of m-learning to be used among the students of higher education institution. This study examines the “Technology Acceptance Model” (TAM), “Theory of Reasoned Action” (TRA) and “Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology” (UTAUT). The study is based on a survey being conducted across diverse groups of students, belonging to different communities and universities. The survey questionnaire was utilized for collecting the relevant data from 250 respondents. The results analyzed yields the impact that the proposed model of m-learning is comprehensive to study in the institutions of higher education.

A new didactic approach to statistical analysis of measurement data for the evaluation of measurement uncertainty – “SAM–EMU”

This paper describes assumptions, aims, methodology, content and consortium make up of a European project (SAM–EMU) founded under the Erasmus Lifelong Learning Programme. The project has developed learning materials in the field of evaluation of measurement uncertainty. It is available in the form of a multimedia web based course, which has many advantages. This format is commonly accepted as a good way to prepare an EU wide vocational training vehicle. The course is available in English.     

Adapting the Technology Acceptance Model to evaluate the innovative potential of e-learning systems

This paper describes an experience where the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) has been adapted for use in the evaluation of methodological and technological innovations determined by the introduction of a new e-learning system in an Italian online university. While the original TAM allows one to assess acceptance and adoption of a new technology, in this case there was also a need to consider all the phases of use of the system (course design, running and evaluation), all the users of the system (students, teachers and e-learning management), and all the system’s components (the e-learning platform, the learning resources and mostly the underlying pedagogical approach). The resulting model, which is an extension of the original TAM, is a three-dimensional one, with three aspects to be considered on each axis (phases of use, users and components). For each of the 27 combinations of these aspects, indicators of usefulness and ease-of-use have been identified. When available, data concerning actual use (derived from the tracking functions of the platform) and effectiveness (based on teachers’ adoption of new tools and students’ learning outcomes) have also been used to complement the data.     

基于群智能的电子学习资源过滤及收敛性分析

运用基于信息素挥发因子自适应变化的蚁群算法来优化电子学习资源的组织顺序,体现群体智能在资源共享和过滤中的优势作用,并且在此基础上运用教学实例实验研究将群体智能技术应用于解决电子学习资源过滤时的收敛性问题。实验结果表明利用群体智能来组织资源可以找到和领域专家干预基本相同的解决方案,同时学生参与数不需要很多即可获得好的收敛性。     

基于用户浏览行为的个性化教学系统

网络教育已成为现代教育技术主流的发展方向。提出了二层树状结构模型,并在此基础上,设计了一个基于基于浏览行为的个性化推荐系统(BB IRS)。系统可以通过离线和在线方式对用户的访问日志和交互数据分别进行挖掘,并通过根据用户的浏览速度计算用户对页面的兴趣度,根据该兴趣度是否大于阈值,系统采用不同的推荐策略。     

Proposing an interactive speaking improvement system for EFL learners

This paper proposes a web-based interactive speaking improvement system for EFL learners. Using fuzzy matching, the system automatically compares the learner’s and the system’s pronunciation and immediately provides corrective interaction whereby the student can improve speaking via continuous imitation and practice at the computer. The system, having been tested on Taiwanese students who needed to achieve a speaking proficiency equivalent to CEF Level A2, is found to be highly effective for the intended purpose.
