The proposed TAM consists of five major constructs, namely the system quality, the perceived usefulness, the perceived ease of use, the behavioral intention, and the learning effect. To gather empirical data, a questionnaire is designed with three parts, including the personal profile, the experience of using JoinNet, and open items. Our samples are 45 undergraduate students who have taken an E-Learning class in 2009 and have used JoinNet in their term project. Linear regression, Pearson correlation, and path analysis are used to verify our proposed seven hypotheses. Analysis results have revealed the following three findings. (1) The system quality plays an important role in user acceptance of a new information system. (2) The perceived usefulness is a determinant factor for the behavioral intention and learning effect. (3) When users get experienced in using the system, the impacts of the perceived ease of use should become more significant.","PeriodicalId":299461,"journal":{"name":"2010 2nd International Conference on Education Technology and Computer","volume":"85 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115852569","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}

The classical sequential pattern mining algorithms do not allow processing of numerical data and require preprocessing of these data into a binary representation, which necessarily leads to a loss of information. Fuzzy sets are used to overcome this problem. In present fuzzy sequential pattern mining algorithms, there isn't any matter of itemset time and sequences are only found based on sequence of happening. In this paper, a novel fuzzy sequential pattern algorithm is proposed with sliding window constraint which permits elements of a pattern to span a set of transactions within a user-specified window. Therefore, loss of useful sequences is prevented in the search process. The proposed algorithm searches for a goal sequence within the defined fuzzy sliding window and the membership degree of sliding window is returned if the goal sequence is found.","PeriodicalId":299461,"journal":{"name":"2010 2nd International Conference on Education Technology and Computer","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134057159","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}

However, many existing e-learning systems contain complicated knowledge structure that hinders the reuse or sharing of knowledge. In a previous project awarded by the Microsoft Research Asia, we successfully developed an interactive simulator to facilitate the learning of essential concepts related to computer systems through live animations. Here, we propose to integrate learning objects and relevant technologies into our interactive simulator to illustrate the underlying knowledge structure and, more importantly, facilitate the sharing and reuse of relevant concepts. Through adopting the IEEE learning object metadata (LOM) standard, our simulator can easily exchange relevant learning objects with other e-learning systems. The system design and prototype implementation of our LOM-based simulator is considered in this paper to evaluate how general and experienced users can benefit from our LOM-based simulator in various ways.","PeriodicalId":299461,"journal":{"name":"2010 2nd International Conference on Education Technology and Computer","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134151144","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}

The present paper is focused on the educational results obtained by the implementation of student satisfaction surveys in a Romanian university. The survey instruments measure three dimensions (the teaching and learning activities, the institutional material base, and the support services) and were filled in by a total of 1038 national and international students, in two consecutive years. Two different surveys format were administered: traditional paper-and-pencil and online. For both of the formats, the students' responses show that the most important aspects are the teaching and learning activities, followed by the material base, and then by the support services offered by the institution. However a less favorable feedback was revealed by the online format of the survey. For all the aspects evaluated, there is a gap between satisfaction and importance: the students rate higher the importance they attach to each of the dimensions than their satisfaction level with these dimensions.","PeriodicalId":299461,"journal":{"name":"2010 2nd International Conference on Education Technology and Computer","volume":"27 5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130791963","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}
