The traditional approach for handwriting teaching needs a long hour of handwriting practice, and teacher needs a lot of time to check the handwriting errors. Unfortunately, this is not feasible in many cases. In this paper, we introduce an automated educational tool for Arabic Handwriting detection errors, such as the stroke production errors, stroke sequence errors, stroke relationship errors and stroke interline errors, to help students to generate clear handwriting. Firstly, we used an attributed relational graph to locate the handwriting errors. Secondly, an immediate feedback is provided to the students to correct them.","PeriodicalId":398065,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Education and e-Learning Innovations","volume":"1 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":"130051229","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 categories used to analyse the data were derived from prior studies using the technology acceptance model (TAM) and the literature on IT systems acceptance in general and in the specific e-learning domain. The main categories that were used to analyze qualitative data were ease of use, perceived usefulness, subjective norms, prior Internet experience, system interactivity, self-efficacy and the availability of technical support.","PeriodicalId":398065,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Education and e-Learning Innovations","volume":"21 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":"114378963","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}

In this paper, we propose a new recommendation model and algorithm which are based on a faceted classification by level in the aim to facilitate the documents' indexing. This approach exploits the user trace indexing of his/her documents to learn about the user preferences and then to produce their recommendations. Consequently, these recommendations will provide a kind of knowledge base aiming at improving document ranking and highlight most relevant information that meeting user needs.

In this paper three protocols for actor selection is proposed. At first and second protocols, network is single hop and actor selection is done during it.

The researcher developed instructional materials consisted of a pre-fabricated Printed Circuit Board (PCB), and Manual that were designed to demonstrate the Basic Logic Gates functions: AND, OR, NOT, NAND, NOR, XOR, and XNOR. Students were given exam to test their knowledge of the Basic Logic Gates prior to experiment and results showed that students did not have background on the subject. Lecture method was conducted during the first two weeks of classes. The different logic gates, their logic functions, diagrams, and truth tables were discussed. The pre-test was conducted and the results showed a mean distribution score of 5.79, with a standard deviation of 5.787. Students were then asked to use the Active Learning materials (PCB and Manual). Students were asked to assemble the PCB using the guide included in the Manual, and perform the experiments on their own using their assembled PCB. After one month, students were given a post-test. Results of the study showed a mean distribution score of 29.91, with a standard deviation of 7.539. The z-test for correlated samples @0.05 level (z = 13.797, Zcv = ± 1.96) indicates that there is significant improvement in the performance of the students during the post-test. Students were asked to evaluate the materials they used and the mean distribution scores suggests that students had improved understanding of the concepts through the use of the materials.","PeriodicalId":398065,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Education and e-Learning Innovations","volume":"39 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":"132574450","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 currently tutors students in alphabets, basic vocabulary building, inflectional operations and sentence construction. Our approach for language teaching is based on the model of children learning their first language, where no direct attempt is placed on teaching grammar rules. These grammar rules are to be learned through continuous experience, right time intervention and appropriate feedback. In this regard, scaffold is a useful model to carry out interaction/dialogue. Also, it supports problem solving approach in another sense assessment for learning, a significant component in maintaining student control, motivation and diagnosis of student's mistake and providing necessary feedback. Our focus in this research is on sentence teaching/construction, which is most critical component of any language. In the pedagogy, we included two scaffolds for sentence teaching. These scaffolds basically designed keeping in mind the inflectional aspects of sentence construction, an area where most of the language learners make mistakes. In this paper, we discuss various reasons of adopting a model of scaffolding and how it works, specifically focusing on sentence teaching/construction with conclusion and future scope.","PeriodicalId":398065,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Education and e-Learning Innovations","volume":"25 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":"127379860","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}

Remote access gives users hands on experience with direct control over instruments and devices, and allows them to be accessed 24 hours a day from anywhere. It appears to offer a simple solution to problems of distance, expensive equipment, and limited availability. The concept of remote lab is to make instruments available and ready to use for any kind of situations and experiments over internet. Currently, one of the challenges is how to find the appropriate instrument which responds to user's requirements and constraints in order to conduct a given experiment. The most significant reason of this problem is the lack of information about online instruments that provides potentially interested parties the ability to achieve such a mission. Moreover and till now, it is impossible to use simultaneously, and for the same experiment, instruments that belong to different providers. Thanks to the semantic web technology, a significant step forward can be made in terms of general description model in order to make possible the utilization and cooperation of instruments belonging to different providers. Consequently, we propose in this paper a semantic web technology based model which attempts to solve the mentioned problems.","PeriodicalId":398065,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Education and e-Learning Innovations","volume":"59 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":"129963873","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}
