Most past research used surveys for course assessment, which measure only perceptions. Recently researchers have proposed more holistic assessments of online courses using Bayesian Belief Networks (BBNs) to integrate multiple assessment instruments. While the advantages of BBNs for educational assessments have been demonstrated, past research used only simulated data. This study furthers past research by testing the suitability of BBN-based methodologies for real-time assessment of online courses using larger data sets with missing and sparse data. Testing used actual course data from two undergraduate online Java programming courses. Past literature identified the creation of the conditional probability tables (CPTs) as the greatest challenge of using BBNs. This research also investigated the automatic population of CPTs via software. Tests revealed excellent performance with large data sets demonstrating the scalability of BBN-based assessment methodologies for online courses with large enrollments. With a well-designed network, most of the CPTs can be populated via software, significantly reducing the time and effort required to design and use the BBN. A number of recommendations to improve usability, performance, and accuracy of BBN-based course assessment methodologies are demonstrated. Future research should provide a comparative analysis between BBNs and other methodologies for the assessment of online course design.","PeriodicalId":299216,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE Fifth International Conference on Technology for Education (t4e 2013)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128386785","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}

It supports the post graduate and senior undergraduate students. It is a drive to cater the requirement of laboratory learning. Both theory and virtual experimental resources are made available. The experiments are in the form of simulation. At this stage of web development, the concepts of mechanisms and kinematics have been focussed. The experiment result is shown through web images and text. The website provides ample amount of resource material on the theoretical background of mechanisms and robot kinematics. A step by step fashion has been adopted to impart knowledge in the preliminaries of the subject and gradually guides the client to get a grip over the fundamentals as well as application of kinematics in this domain. Numerical computation along with simulation provides detailed illustration of a concept. The web page integrates MATLAB generated images for clear understanding. The simulation experiments give a real-time feel. This enhances learning, promotes visualization of the problem computation and hence, interpretation of results. Accomplishing this project brings benefit in the form of minimization of cost, time, labor, number of experts. A larger number of students can avail the laboratory and learn on their own pace as the website can be accessed through the internet from any geographical location at any time.","PeriodicalId":299216,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE Fifth International Conference on Technology for Education (t4e 2013)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116061040","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}

Since on such platforms, mode of delivery of course material - visual, verbal or multimedia - plays an important role, this study considers learning styles in the context of adaptive hypermedia with the aim to identify if providing material according to one's learning style enhances performance. While some studies report positive results, others find no correlation between the two. Here, we examine the efficacy of learning styles, especially the visual-verbal dimension of Felder-Silverman model, in a controlled e-learning environment by testing the effectiveness of visual, verbal as well as multimedia modules for history and engineering on 268 engineering undergraduates identified on the basis of visual, verbal and mixed orientations. Contrary to expectations, results indicated no relation between learning styles and performance in modules based on different sensory preferences. However, students did show discipline-based better performance in multimedia and visual modes than in verbal mode. They also preferred multimedia and visual modes over verbal. This corroborates earlier findings - the efficacy of learning styles remains unconfirmed.","PeriodicalId":299216,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE Fifth International Conference on Technology for Education (t4e 2013)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122777981","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}
