Many millennial learners are associated with massive open on-line courses for learning. This online learning to be more interactive and to substitute the teacher observation, it requires the augmentation of those humanly traits, to keep the learner active. This paper proposes such a sub-system to the online learning environments which performs necessary activities to bring the learner into pace of the course. From the reactions of learner while learning from the continuous capturing of face images, this system can analyze the emotions and initiate the necessary actions to continue the learning. The Emotional Back Propagation Neural Networks with successful PCA were used for training and Genetic Algorithm is used for optimizing the results. The system can automatically identify the facial expressions and initiates the counter actions to keep the learning successful.

  Layanan pembelajaran pada sistem pendidikan jarak jauh mengalami perkembangan yang pesat seiring dengan kemajuan Teknologi Informasi (TI), salah satunya adalah pembelajaran secara online (online learning). Sistem online learning memudahkan pembelajar mengakses sumber belajar dari mana pun, dapat menjangkau peserta lebih luas, serta dapat meningkatkan kadar interaksi bahan pembelajaran. Sistem tersebut juga dinilai akan menghasilkan lulusan bermutu yang ukurannya dilihat dari kemampuan untuk mengaktualisasikan daya intelektualitas dalam menggali ilmu pengetahuan dan mengembangkannya, serta keterampilan menggunakan teknologi. Dari layanan online learning yang dilaksanakan oleh Universitas Terbuka menunjukkan bahwa layanan pembelajaran secara on line tidak serta merta mendapat respons yang signifikan. Di sisi lain data menunjukkan penetrasi pengguna internet di Indonesia sudah mencapai 143,26 juta orang. Gambaran ini menunjukkan banyaknya pengguna internet di Indonesia belum sebanding dengan peningkatan jumlah orang yang mau memanfaatkan TI untuk pembelajaran. Makalah ini membahas apakah ada keterkaitan antara keterampilan on line learning dengan kompetensi literasi digital. Metode pembahasan dilakukan dengan analisis kualitatif berdasarkan pada studi pustaka. Kesimpulan yang diperoleh menunjukkan bahwa TI lebih banyak dimanfaatkan sekedar untuk berselancar di dunia maya, daripada untuk pembelajaran.

One approach to hybrid learning is to hybridize online learning through recognizing and including external interactivity. This chapter examines that possibility. After reviewing the nature of interactivity and individual learner experience in online learning communities, it presents a recent study of interactivity in online professional development learning by practising teachers. From that study emerges the importance and scope of external interactivity between the learner and his or her local community of colleagues, friends, and family in a learning community beyond the traditional online class. Building on that case study, and indications from the literature that its implications may be generalizable, the chapter suggests ways in which external interactivity can be recognized and included in the online learning environment – as a way of hybridizing on-line learning through its inclusion of learners’ interactive engagements in the external learning communities that they bring to their studies.

Understanding the psychosocial classroom environment has been important in both traditional face-to-face courses and online education. Trickett and Moos (1974) pioneered the use of post-course self-report instruments to measure the classroom environment through the Classroom Environment Scale. More recently, Taylor and Maor (2000) developed the Constructivist On-Line Learning Environment Survey (COLLES) to examine the students’ perceptions of online learning environment in light of social constructivist pedagogical principles. The 24-item, Likert-type COLLES instrument is a popular measure for examining online learning environments for a least two reasons. First, it measures the online learning environment along constructivist categories, which makes it in line with the dominant pedagogical philosophy for online instruction. Second, the COLLES instrument is freely included in the Survey Module of Moodle, the most popular open source course management system available. This makes it particularly convenient for online instructors to use COLLES in their teaching and research.
