Web Based Learning

For more than 40 years, cognitive psychological perspectives have dominated pedagogical frameworks and models for designing technology-mediated teaching and learning environments. Social learning perspectives are increasingly becoming viable or even desirable frames for research and practice as pertains to teaching and learning, particularly in web-based learning environments (WBLEs). The author considers these social learning perspectives and how they relate to the design and implementation of curricula that are delivered in web-based learning environments in higher education. The author further reviews the foundational theories of adult learning that enhance adult learners' experiences in cross-cultural web-based learning environments. This review and analysis of the research related to social learning perspectives on WBLEs have three implications for future research and practice: (1) examining learners' individual characteristics in WBLEs, (2) identifying strategies for promoting social interaction in WBLEs, and (3) developing effective design principles for WBLEs. The author presents recommendations for future research.

Web Based Learning

Web-based learning environments are becoming more widely used for on-campus and distance education course delivery. A review of articles on the topic by faculty shows that only a few mention issues related to library access or resource integration. Moreover, only a small number of courseware evaluations posted on academic Web sites include criteria related to libraries. However, a few articles and reviews share common themes that point to a greater library involvement in courseware implementation, which is consistent with arguments made by distance education librarians calling for an active role in technical, pedagogical, and instructional support decisions concerning Web-based learning environments.

E Learning

Data Mining and Data Warehousing are two most important techniques for pattern discovery and centralized data management in today’s technology. ELearning is one of the most significant applications of data mining. The main objective is to provide a proposal for a functional model and service architecture. The standards and system architecture are analyzed here. This paper gives importance to the integration of Web Services on the e-Learning application domain, because Web Service is the most advanced choice for distance education now. The process of e-Learning can be possible more effectively with the help of Web usage mining. More advanced tools are developed for online customer’s behaviour to increase sales, and profit, but no such tools are developed to understand learner’s behaviour in e-Learning. In this paper, some data mining techniques are discussed that could be used to enhance web-based learning environments.
