<p>Handheld devices are widely applied to support open and distributed learning, where students are diverse. On the other hand, customization and personalization can be applied to accommodate students’ diversities. However, paucity of research compares the effects of customization and personalization in the context of handheld devices. To this end, we developed a customized digital learning system (CDLS) and personalized digital learning system (PDLS), which were implemented on the handheld devices and tailored to the needs of students with diverse cognitive styles. Furthermore, we conducted two empirical studies to examine the effects of cognitive styles on the use of the CDLS and PDLS. More specifically, Study 1 identified the preferences of each cognitive style group, which were employed to develop the PDLS in Study 2, which investigated how students with different cognitive styles react to the CDLS and the PDLS.  The results from these two studies showed that student in the CDLS and those in the PDLS obtained similar task scores and post-test scores. However, Serialists with the PDLS could more efficiently complete the tasks than those with CDLS. Additionally, Holists more positively perceived the PDLS than Serialists.</p>

Based on the sharable content object concept of advanced distributed learning, an ontology-based intelligent content object (ICO) that can automatically reason and be reused is proposed. Then, by extending the advanced distributed learning or sharable content object reference model (SCORM) specification, an interoperable model for the ICO is developed; it involves (a) adding an ontological model of general domain knowledge for intelligent tutoring systems to the SCORM specification and encapsulating the design details of the heterogeneous knowledge ontologies, (b) adding a hierarchical data structure for the current ontology element to the communication data model in the run-time environment of the SCORM specification, (c) extending the application program interface in the run-time environment of the SCORM specification to enable the ICO to query various knowledge ontologies in a consistent way, and (d) adding an Ontology section to the content aggregation model in the SCORM specification to ensure that the same ICO can be associated with different knowledge ontologies. The proposed model extends the SCORM-based courseware model from a multimedia-based structured courseware to the intelligent courseware based on a knowledge ontology and can significantly improve the overall intelligence of the learning system along the lines of the specification, thereby providing a reference for the future development of the SCORM specification.

The article substantiates the principles and foundations of the system-logical approach to the organization of the educational process using distance learning in a military educational institution. The need for defense reform is due to the fact that against the background of many dynamic changes in modern society, which are characterized by uncertainty and instability along with hybrid warfare, digitalization of society, many problems arise in certain sectors of life and security, and, first of all, in such an important sector. as education in general and military education in particular. That is why the task is to update the military education system in order to prevent the consequences of possible negative events and develop appropriate countermeasures. One of the measures to preserve the stable functioning of the military education system is the introduction and further development of distance learning. This requires specific approaches to the organization of the educational process. The role, place and principles of the system-logical approach to the organization of the educational process by distance learning in a military educational institution have been substantiated. It is shown that the essence of a systematic approach to the problem of the formation of a distance learning system lies in the understanding of the educational process and the management system of educational and educational activities as components of an integral complex system of military education. At the same time, as subsystems, linked by a common goal and objectives of training and education, taking into account their role and place among other systems. A logical approach to the analysis of complex systems should form the basis of a systemlogical approach to the formation of the educational process in military educational institutions. The tasks of the logical approach are to recreate the essence or the main content of the research subject and present it in the form of mental abstractions. In this case, the logical method is based on the laws and requirements (categories) of formal and dialectical logic. It has been substantiated that a rational, truly scientific system of organizing the educational process for distance learning in a military educational institution should be based on a systematic and logical approach, ensure a high level of professional competencies of military specialists of the corresponding educational level and resist possible external and internal threats.
