Advocating the advantages of WBI, the present study aimed at finding out whether using podcasts can help the Iranian EFL students outperform in their writing skill. To this end, 57 students of English were selected from Islamic Azad University, Shiraz Branch and the Zand Institute of Higher Education as the participants. After taking a writing pre-test for homogeneity, the participants were divided into two groups of control and experimental. While the first group attended the classroom for writing instruction, the other group received the instruction through podcasts. A post-test of writing was administered after the treatment. The comparison between the participants' performances in the pre-and post-tests of writing revealed that traditional classroom attendance is not a necessary condition for the students' improvement in writing. In other words, if the students receive the instruction out-of-the classroom through podcasts, they can perform equally well in their writing ability.","PeriodicalId":310444,"journal":{"name":"4th International Conference on e-Learning and e-Teaching (ICELET 2013)","volume":"295 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131993005","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}

Among the various kinds of these networks (Facebook, MySpace, YouTube, Flicker, Twitter, blogs, and del.ici.us) Facebook is the best known and the most popular network with the incredible number of 400 million users who spend a significant part of their day in Facebook. In fact, results of various studies indicate that on average, the rate of Facebook usage by the young university students exceeds one hour a day. It seems that given the high rate of its usage among university students and its unique features (email, bulletin boards, instant messaging, posting videos, pictures and personal information), the claim can be made that Facebook has a high potential for educational use, especially in higher education, and can be regarded as a big classroom with many facilities and equipments which let users publish notes, share information, communicate and, of course, learn. In fact, experts and teachers should regard social network as an opportunity in the higher education and try to make the best use its popularity as well as its rich and entertaining features in order to enhance their teaching, thus the need to further study and investigate this social network and all it has to offer to higher education. Given this need in today's fast growing educational world, and based on the Technology Acceptance Model, in this research we try to assess and investigate the possible potentials of the social networks for learning through analyzing students' and instructors' attitudes towards using the social networks for higher education.","PeriodicalId":310444,"journal":{"name":"4th International Conference on e-Learning and e-Teaching (ICELET 2013)","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124861826","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}

So, a system should be designed for assigning appropriate learning objects to each learner based on his/her needs abilities and preferences. Automatically grouping the learners in homogeneous groups is an important subject in designing the adaptive learning system. In this paper a new method based on Fuzzy neural network for e-learners grouping is proposed. This new neural network is like to ART network in architecture and Snap-Drift network in learning mechanism. The performance of the network is monitored by a new defined energy-like function. Then, an appropriate learning mechanism is selected in each epoch. Consequently, a high performance network in non-stationary environment is designed. For evaluation of this method, E-Learners of the C programming course are grouped by the proposed method based on Felder-Silverman learning style index. The result of this evaluation shows that our method has appropriate performance in P&G indexes. According to the experimental results, this method has a good performance in uncertain and noisy input environment.","PeriodicalId":310444,"journal":{"name":"4th International Conference on e-Learning and e-Teaching (ICELET 2013)","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127366539","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}

These practical approaches try to extend students' learning beyond the theoretical disciplinary focus inside the universities and engage them in acquiring knowledge and more importantly skills they will need in their professional life. To do so, two schematic storyboards have been drawn based on the experiences of some Iranian experts including students, entrepreneurs and academics represented through some focus groups. The titles of these storyboards are: “Business Plan Writing”, and “Tentative start-up of a business”. Our primary focus is on defining some technical and pedagogical capabilities in an e-learning platform based on the three groups of experts' experiences as well as principals of experience-based learning, enabling both students and tutors to use them for creating a more practical, real and effective teaching-learning environment. Before drawing each storyboard four descriptive components named Functional Specifications (FS) have been written, trying for defining different aspects of the storyboards. These components have been generated based on the participants' experiences and then supports from the literature has been extracted and added to these FSs. While the paper is written from an e-learning perspective, the issues and processes raised are applicable to any higher education system that seeks to value and reward practical and experience-based education.","PeriodicalId":310444,"journal":{"name":"4th International Conference on e-Learning and e-Teaching (ICELET 2013)","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133879065","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}
