In this paper we propose a new priority based, adaptive queuing algorithm, including an adaptive, packet-by-packet classifier for differentiating services in IP based networks. The proposed queuing paradigm focuses on providing delay sensitive application's requirements while not imposing noticeable delay on other applications and improving fairness and the performance of the system at the same time. The main advantage of the algorithm is that, it can dynamically adopt its parameters to the changing nature of the Internet. The simulation results, which are very promising, confirm that the algorithm has reached its goals.","PeriodicalId":398065,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Education and e-Learning Innovations","volume":"110 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124250028","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}

Literature shows that at a higher educational level, a student ePortfolio is becoming an important tool as it is being used to enhance the learning process through constant tutor and peer feedback, self-regulation and reflection. Many ePortfolio applications exist that may help university faculties to collaborate with their students. However, these existing applications concentrate on general ePortfolio content and allow limited flexibility to be tailored to specific structured ePortfolios that is actually needed by the demanding faculty. In our opinion a new tailor-made structured ePortfolio is needed specifically to replace the manual professional development portfolio system. The proposed system will be the official ePortfolio for the Faculty of Education to be used compulsory by students that are reading a bachelors degree in Education with a secondary track at the University of Malta. Therefore we proposed the full lifecycle development of a new web-based student teachers' ePortfolio which we call STeP. A sample of fifteen selected participants, which include the chairperson of the Professional Development Portfolio, an administrator, tutors and students have taken part in different stages of the software development and played an important role in its success. We show all the stages involved that led to the successful implementation of the proposed tailor-made ePortfolio system. We evaluate our system and present a qualitative outcome for its implementation.","PeriodicalId":398065,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Education and e-Learning Innovations","volume":"101 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124618153","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 teaching of languages takes place in the context of distance education and involves several research areas, as automatic processing of natural language and modeling of learning action in distance education environment. Therefore, the development of a remote Evaluation system for Arabic requires the preparation of various linguistic tools such as analyzers In this paper we focus on the development of a Morphological Analyzer In Arabic Language which can be operated in a remote evaluation system of the Arab that support during the seventh year basic level grammar taught in Tunisia. This work proposes to establish morphological analysis by promoting treatments that can be used by a system as the decomposition of a text, determining the properties of a word, the search in a text..., these treatments support learning through an explanation of ambiguous words, the integration strategies of Arabic grammar and solving exercises.","PeriodicalId":398065,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Education and e-Learning Innovations","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129024973","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 main objective of the study is to make m-learning content authoring very easy and simple for the teacher with easy to use tools so as to boost their stake in the use of mobile learning platform (MLP) for teaching and learning anywhere anytime. The result shows that the success of m-learning implementation and acceptance is partly dependent on the user friendliness, simplicity and easy to use applications by teachers.
