Web-based learning is rapidly becoming the preferred way to quickly, efficiently, and economically create and deliver training or educational content through various communication media. This chapter presents systems that use speech technology to emulate the one-on-one interaction a student can get from a virtual instructor. A Web-based learning tool, the Learn IN Context (LINC+) system, designed and used in a real mixed-mode learning context for a computer (C++ language) programming course taught at the Université de Moncton (Canada) is described here. It integrates an Internet Voice Searching and Navigating (IVSN) system that helps learners to search and navigate both the web and their desktop environment through voice commands and dictation. LINC+ also incorporates an Automatic User Profile Building and Training (AUPB&T) module that allows users to increase speech recognition performance without having to go through the long and fastidious manual training process. New Automated Service Agents based on the Artificial Intelligence Markup Language (AIML) are used to provide naturalness to the dialogs between users and machines. The portability of the e-learning system across a mobile platform is also investigated. The findings show that when the learning material is delivered in the form of a collaborative and voice-enabled presentation, the majority of learners seem to be satisfied with this new media, and confirm that it does not negatively affect their cognitive load.

Web-based learning has been widely used as learning resources. Developing these learning resources is believed to provide beneficial for students. Therefore, this research was aimed to develop a web-based learning source for General Biology Course. It was developed by Joomla software version 1.5.6. This program was run and supported by Xampp version 1.6.1. in which Apache 2.2.4.. MySQL 5.0.37., and PHP version 5.2.1. were also included to offline program running support. The research was conducted on September – November 2012 in General Biology Course, Biology Department, Faculty of Mathematics and Science, State University of Jakarta. Material contents developed in this web were limited to animal structure. Samples were consisted of students, media expert, and learning material expert. Data were obtained through questionnaires. According to students, the material classified as very good (82.5%), whether 5 five other components including content (79.48%), visual design (70.33%), structure and navigation (76.94%), and interaction (78.67%) were categorized as good. Based on media expert assessment, the web content was classified as very good (81.25%), while the other components including web material (75%), visual design (70%), structure and navigation (70.83%), and also interaction (80%) were categorized as good. Lastly, this product was assessed by the learning material expert who categorized good for the following components: web material (75%), content (78.13), visual design (75%), structure and navigation (79.19%). The only component which got fair score was interaction (50%). Although most of the components were classified as good, some aspects of this web must be repaired.

E-learning refers to the e-learning process and includes: web-based learning, virtual classroom articles and digital collaboration. The advantage of communication between teachers and students via electronic media is the accessible variety of online resources that give engagement and conscious perception of the learning material.

The objective of this paper is to describe on how to assist the English Teachers in creating web-based learning material. There are three main steps in this community service project; preparation, implementation and evaluation. The recipients of this community service project were English teachers in Siabu District, from Primary School teachers, First Level Secondary School teachers, to Upper Secondary School teachers who were officially invited through the Head of Education of Siabu District. From this community service activities, activist found that this community service activity has a positive impact on the progress of education in the district of Siabu and also to the State of Indonesia globally. Therefore, this kind of project is suggested to be implemented in many areas in Indonesia.

This research was aimed to see the improvement of students’ mastery on concept in learning by using Sequential Learning Style type which was done by combining online instruction and face to face as the supplementary learning. The data was taken from 30 students who took Learning Material Development course in the Information and Technology Education Department of STKIP PGRI Tulungagung in the semester 4 on 2016. This learning was done by using Personalization of Web-Based Learning of Sequential Learning Style Type in which Dokeos was chosen as the e-learning program. The data was collected by using Likert scale of four categories, that is, excellent mastery, good mastery, fair mastery and poor mastery. Based on the data collected from the respondents, it can be concluded that students’ level of mastery is high. 70% of the students stated that they have excellent mastery on the material and 30% of the students stated that they have good mastery on the material. It showed that this strategy can improve the concept of mastery in learning. The finding, therefore, can be used as the basis to develop new strategy in the learning process by using web-based learning personalization

As we knew that every individual is different than each other and their brain levels are also different, some students are very bright and some arenot, so there is a need to develop such system which will teach them as per their thought process and learning habits. This research aims to developa personalized virtual school environment for students which help them to learn the things same as they learn in school physically, but the thinghere is each student will be treated differently as per his/her ability. Hence, this system would be a virtual school for any student, which resemblesthe CBSE school system in India. In this virtual school, all things are present such as teachers, homework, games, and exams which present in actualschool except one which is the physical classroom because in virtual environment the course and things are personalized for each student as perhis/her thoughts and brain level, so here the student can seat in his/her home and can learn at any time with help of computer. The system is a webbasedenvironment and machine learning would be used for doing personalization on family and knowledge context of student. This web system contains four components: (1) Classification based on family context, (2) classification based on knowledge context, (3) learning material selection algorithm, (4) web-based learning system on top of above three, are discussed in this paper.
