It is difficult for students and teachers to detect and correct logic errors in source code. Compilers and integrated development environments (IDEs) have the ability to detect and correct syntax errors but it is also difficult for them to detect and correct logic errors. Although many machine learning approaches have been proposed that can show correction candidates for logic errors, they do not provide guidance concerning how the user should fix them. In this paper, we propose a model for correcting logic errors in a given source code. The proposed model realizes debugging of multiple logic errors in the source code by iterative trials of identifying the errors, correcting the errors, and testing the source code. In this model, in the first stage, a list of correction candidates is provided by a deep learning model, and then the list is given to an editing operation predictor that predicts the editing operation for the correction candidate. To learn the internal parameters of the proposed model, we use a set of solution codes created to solve the corresponding programming tasks in a real e-learning system. To verify the usefulness of the proposed model, we apply it to 32 programming tasks. Experimental results show that the correction accuracy is, on average, 58.64% higher than that of the conventional model without iterative trials.

The increasing class sizes, changing expectations, diversity and mobility of students and the use of computer technology in teaching have challenged universities, world over, to review educational courses and delivery to provide a more satisfying learning experience to students. Understanding how students learn is essential in this process and continuous enquiry into teaching practices for their effectiveness towards enhancement of student learning outcomes is therefore considered a vital strategy. This chapter discusses an exploratory study on the differences in the learning approaches of a group of students in a second year marketing course in an Australian university. E-learning system remains the primary communication and the learning resource of these students. Results indicate that there are no significant differences in the study approaches of students but on average they seem to demonstrate deep learning than surface learning although they may differ in terms of the learning contexts. The study also reveals that in comparison female students and older aged students seem to demonstrate deep learning orientations than surface learning orientations.

E-learning is used by higher education institutions and corporate training institutes as a means of solving performance problems, and the accessibility to educational technology which considered as vital for acquisition and dissemination of knowledge to students, as well as interaction between instructors and students. To determine technological solutions for those institutions, an analysis to the literature, and related theories have been conducted depending on the context impact to e-learning system, as well as the interrelationship between e-learning system components and its impact on learner performance. The main findings show that e-learning system is composed of four components, mainly; the instructor, learner, course, and information and communication technologies (ICT), in addition to the context determinants of e-learning system success. The current study, proposed a model for e-learning success, which incorporates eight factors, mainly; e-learning context that include individual, institutional, and environmental determinants to e-learning success. In addition to e-learning components which include instructor, learner, course, and ICT. As well as the learner performance, that aims to measure e-learning success. The proposed model was designed to integrate prior research in the area of e-learning, where it adds set of determinants to e-learning systems success, and find out the best fit of e-learning system components. Moreover, educational institutions can use this proposed model.

E-learning is an application of information and communication technology in the field of learning. Through steganography the e-learning institution can provide security to other participants of e-learning like teacher and learner. Here we use text steganography with modified SNOW algorithm while passing secret texts from the administrator to the learner in an e-learning system. In this paper, we calculate the object oriented metric based analysis of CK and MOOD metrics of our proposed model, which ensures the advantages of code redundancy, code reusability, and cost effectiveness and so on.

This purpose of the study is to develop the usage intention model of E-Learning systems. A survey of 1071 samples of six teaching hospitals in Taiwan shows that the effects of organizational support and self efficacy on usage intention are mediated by perceived ease of use and perceived useful. According to the statistical results, the proposed model fits very well for the samples. Besides, both organizational support and self efficacy are important antecedents of perceived ease of use and perceived useful. In addition, perceived ease of use has the most influence on usage intention, followed by perceived useful, organizational support, and self efficacy. Further investigation reveals that organizational support and self efficacy have both direct and indirect influences on usage intention. This research can provide E-Learning designers and managers of the hospital with the implication that we must focus not only on the technological aspect (perceived ease of use and perceived useful), but also on the social psychological aspect (organizational support and self efficacy).

This article studies different ways of learning. Behavioral, cognitive, constructivist learning, multiple learning styles, e-learning, and brain-based learning are interrelated with each other and teachers should ensure that all students should be involved in all types of learning styles to get learning outcomes. The Covid-19 pandemic has forced governments around the world to implement policies to limit face-to-face meetings with community activities. This makes community activities carried out virtually. It also happens in the education system, teaching and learning activities which are usually carried out in classes face to face, this time has to use the internet as a learning medium. E-learning environments create lessons interactive. Knowledge is integrated from many different sources when students are learning something. The result of this study by analyzed ways of learning is five learning approaches. The stages of learning approaches are student to be active, engaged in the learning process, increase previous knowledge, explore the situation, and be motivated. Nevertheless, the use of the internet for learning or e-learning also cannot be separated from various deficiency and emerging issues within the higher education context.

Abstract Nowadays, e-learning systems play an important role in our life; they help instructors in the process of teaching and help the students and learners to access knowledge. e-learning is the concept that refers to the use of computerized and smart tools and designed systems in the learning process. Also, the interest in e-learning has started to increase dramatically, and researchers everywhere have become more interested in how to develop e-learning in all aspects. Therefore, the aim of this study is to present a model that includes the most important necessary variables required to provide and implement e-learning systems according to international standards for the students of Palestinian universities. This study undertook an in-depth review of literature concerning the success of e-learning implementation and focusing on the aspects of technology, infrastructure, scientific materials and services provided. The proposed model in this study will be the first building block that universities can focus on in designing, building and developing their own e-learning system and will be a cornerstone and the basis in the development of e-learning in Palestine over time.

Improving the performance of e-learning services to provide a scalable and effective e-learning system is a big challenge for the educational organizations. The e-learning system faces many challenges in pedagogical services (e.g. learning design and learning content problems), and technical services (e.g. resource provisioning and financial cost). This article presents an e-learning environment based on cloud computing (PCLE) in attempt to enhance the e-learning services' by customizing the contents of the course's material depending on the students' knowledge, experiences, and requirements. Also, the system focuses on supporting and achieving reusability, interoperability, adaptation and personalization in order to overcome the passive role of the student and transfer it into an interactive and useful participation. On the other hand, PCLE is built over the cloud computing environment trying to overcome the traditional web-hosting challenges as scalability, availability, and cost.

E-Learning has proven to be the only resort as a replacement of traditional face-to-face learning methods in the current global lockdown due to COVID-19 pandemic. Academic institutions across the globe have invested heavily into E-Learning and the majority of the courses offered in traditional classroom mode have been converted into E-Learning mode. The success of E-Learning initiatives needs to be ensured to make it a sustainable mode of learning. The objective of the current study is to propose a holistic E-Learning service framework to ensure effective delivery and use of E-Learning Services that contributes to sustainable learning and academic performance. Based on an extensive literature review, a proposed theoretical model has been developed and tested empirically. The model identifies a broad range of success determinants and relates them to different success measures, including learning and academic performance. The proposed model was validated with the response from 397 respondents involved with an E-Learning system in the top five public universities in the southern region of Saudi Arabia through the Partial Least Squares regression technique using SmartPLS software. Five main factors (Learner’s Quality, Instructor’s Quality, Information’s Quality, System’s Quality and Institutional Quality) were identified as a determinant of E-Learning service performance which together explains 48.7% of the variance of perceived usefulness of ELS, 71.2% of the variance of use of the E-Learning system. Perceived usefulness of ELS and use of ELS together explain 70.6% of learning and academic performance of students. Hence the framework will help achieve the sustainable and successful adoption of E-Learning services.
