The teaching-learning process has undergone a deep change with the appearance of new technologies. E-learning environments and, in particular, learning content management systems have provided capacities and tools which have contributed notably to this change. Their use has spread rapidly in the educational environments due to the advantages that they offer: freedom of timetable, ubiquity, tools for the communication and collaboration, etc. However, they still lack a suitable tool for the monitoring and follow-up of the students that allows the instructors, in an easy and intuitive way, to know what is happening with their distance students. This lack of knowledge is, to a great extent, the cause of a higher number of dropouts and a lower students’ performance in comparison to traditional education. Consequently, in this chapter, the authors propose a set of reports, designed from an educational point of view, which help instructors to carry out this task and an architecture software for their implementation.

It is no longer news that the novel Corona Virus pandemic (COVID-19) is ravaging and still destroying the world, killing so many people and sending economies in different countries into recession. COVID-19 came as a thief in the night in the household of traditional schooling. Gradually, the face-to-face traditional way of teaching and learning was immediately put on hold and all parties running to their shelves for cover as measure to avert the spread of the dreaded virus. What came up as a viable alternative to face-to-face or conventional mode of teaching-learning in school and higher institution is E-learning. So many of these educational institutions had to resort to learning through some E-learning platforms which include ZOOM, YouTube, Google Meet, Google Classroom, Duo, Free Conference Call, etc. This established the fact that majority of the organizations have made an instant switch to online collaboration inclusive of schooling systems. This paper therefore sort to examine how Nigerian schools are reshaping the schooling/education system as to align with the alternative model of teaching-learning most essentially as E-learning rest on major pillars which are undoubtedly deficient in Nigeria and amongst Nigerians. There are challenges to overcome in achieving the e-learning phenomenon in Nigeria, many students without reliable internet access, power supply and technology struggle to participate in digital activities, which hinder online learning. The paper was approached in an E-learning subscriber or user point of view around FCT Abuja metropolis which includes teachers and learners (students/pupils). Questionnaires were distributed to the E-learning users and also the teachers of E-learning. Data were collected and analyzed using percentage method and Likert method to arrive at a conclusion and useful recommendations were made to enhance e-learning during and post COVID-19 in the various educational institutions in Nigeria.

Generic System

In gesture-aided learning (GAL), learners perform specific body gestures while rehearsing the associated learning content. Although this form of embodiment has been shown to benefit learning outcomes, it has not yet been incorporated into e-learning. This work presents a generic system design for an online GAL platform. It is comprised of five modules for planning, administering, and monitoring remote GAL lessons. To validate the proposed design, a reference implementation for word learning was demonstrated in a field test. 19 participants independently took a predefined online GAL lesson and rated their experience on the System Usability Scale and a supplemental questionnaire. To monitor the correct gesture execution, the reference implementation recorded the participants’ webcam feeds and uploaded them to the instructor for review. The results from the field test show that the reference implementation is capable of delivering an e-learning experience with GAL elements. Designers of e-learning platforms may use the proposed design to include GAL in their applications. Beyond its original purpose in education, the platform is also useful to collect and annotate gesture data.

With the emergence of new technologies the area of education is also growing very fast. By using new innovations teaching and learning has become technically very strong. Learning is becoming tech learning or e-learning. Educators and students are getting very smart and hence study and learning is also becoming smart. Maximum available learning systems don’t involve pen and paper based learning. Due to the emergence of ICTs in the learning atmosphere it doesn’t indicate that our traditional education methodologies have become outdated. Smart study is such a stage which allows students continue to learn in smart way by using smart pens and papers. Using smart paper and pen the contents written on the paper can be converted into digital format. Smart study using pen and paper is helpful for practicing handwriting in same traditional manner. This paper presents a smart study platform which combines work with printed and digital contents.

E-government usually studies focus on outcomes or user opinion. Our attempt is to see this also from the point of view of IT professionals that work in public institutions. Big cities will always be on the forefront of using new technologies in their day-to-day work and, because of that, they are usually the subject of researchers wanting to study this field. But most Romanians live in small cities, towns and villages. We are also interested in the pace of e-government development in these municipalities. After the 2017 study that focused on big Romanian cities, this year we follow up with a more comprehensive research, which aims to find out how e-government is implemented in small urban municipalities in Romania. Our research aims to learn how successful the implementation of egovernment services in Romanian local government is in the eyes of those tasked with rolling out these services. E-government is no longer a new development in the public institutions’ continuing search for better service. The interaction between citizens and companies, as well as the government, are constantly evolving, and new ways of doing things are regularly tested and adopted or discarded.

This chapter is concerned with the integration of research in mathematics education and e-learning. Its main aim is to provide a perspective on the teaching/learning opportunities offered by e-learning platforms in a blended learning setting, as experienced at the Universities of Salerno and of Piemonte Orientale. Two types of teaching actions have been set above all: a) tailored units of learning, which have required the design/implementation of a huge pool of learning objects, according to domain-specific guidelines from mathematics education research and to various educational parameters from e-learning research; b) cooperative or individual teacher-driven learning activities together with various practice for self or peer assessment, which have been designed according both to e-learning and mathematics pedagogies based on the active role of the learner, the interaction with tutors and peers, and the importance of critical thinking and communication skills. Finally some feedback from students is reported, and some opportunities for future research are outlined.

With the coming of the digital age over a period of the last three decades, the letter “e” is used to refer to the electronic world. Formerly known as computer-based training, e-learning has also come of age and is increasingly oriented to real-time learning, that is, activities facilitating simultaneous interaction between learners and instructors. Further, the knowledge explosion makes it more a necessity than a luxury even for emerging economies to consider the e-learning platforms and adopt e-learning strategies. The objectives of this chapter are to understand the essentials of effective e-learning strategies and identify the barriers and facilitators in embedding e-learning for emerging economies so as to align well in this knowledge era. The methodology adopted is in depth literature review and grounded theory approach. Contextual analysis and is restricted to effectiveness of e-learning from an emerging economy point of view.

Ict Competencies

ABSTRACT Deployment of distance education (especially e-learning) at universities requires university teachers and students to have adequate ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) competencies. Schools usually provide training for their staff in operating e-learning portals and creating courses, which is the necessary minimum for conducting distance education. On the other hand, schools do not offer any courses for students to improve their competencies necessary for e-learning, as they assume that the students’ ICT competencies acquired during the three levels of schooling (elementary, lower secondary and upper secondary) are sufficient. The authors’ observations demonstrate that this assumption is not necessarily true, particularly for students at faculties related to humanities and other specializations not of technical nature, such as medicine. The article presents an overview of ICT competencies necessary for e-learning study, comparing them with competencies of a secondary school graduate. On the basis of a research project conducted at three medical universities in Poland, the authors present the level of knowledge and practical skills in the field of ICT among students who participated in e-learning or blended learning. As a result of the project, a proposal has been presented for modifying ICT education contents for students, as well as a draft course carried on the university’s LCMS (Learning Content Management System) portal to bridge the ICT competence gaps for effective distance education.
