The preferences for a group of 53 undergraduate students, on the four dimensions of FSLSM were collected using the “Index of Learning Styles (ILS)”. A LO for the course on “Database Management System” was developed on the inferences drawn from the ILS using the authoring tool ‘eXe’. A group of students validated the personalized LO. We have reported the analysis of feedback, with inferences drawn for personalization of the LO","PeriodicalId":266595,"journal":{"name":"2010 International Conference on Technology for Education","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124045302","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research focuses on analyzing the affect of social networks (SN) websites usage on students' behaviors and academic performances. This investigation included students gender based usage patterns of social networks websites with respect to our proposed websites scheme. We classified all students with similarity of social networks usage patterns for predicting their future behaviors, in addition we analyzed affect of SN usage on each groups of users academic performance based on their undertaken programs, semester and usage pattern including total time spent in SN websites during a day and the types of SN websites that visited by them, or identifying any changes in usage patterns of users during different days including final examination days or holidays if existed.","PeriodicalId":266595,"journal":{"name":"2010 International Conference on Technology for Education","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121372249","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
