Transition Issues

Over the years, ICT has emerged as a platform that is seen to enhance the knowledge and skills of students in mainstream learning environments. A growing number of schools however, now provide a separate alternative enrolment for students with special needs. Although there are valid opinions on what is the best method of educating these students (integration vs. segregation) it has been noted by many researchers that technology can play a major role in the learning process. In this paper, an e-learning paradigm is applied in a holistic manner to a special learning community with the aim of determining an appropriate e-learning model and platform to support curriculum design. The paper focuses on a pilot project at a suburban school for students with special needs. The aims of the project are to observe the level of immersion and engagement and its impact on curriculum outcomes of the group. This research project further investigates the transition issues and approaches for this group and the links and relationships beyond the normal school environment. The project has been funded by the School of Information Systems and the School Community.

Recently the e-learning community has begun to view the e-learning environment as a self-sustaining ecosystem that provides learners with the tools and surroundings they need to achieve their learning. An e-learning ecosystem is a community where organisms interact with one another and with their physical environment. Every organism has a role to fulfil and there must be a harmonious balance between all aspects of the ecosystem in order for the organisms to flourish and evolve. An e-learning system can be considered as a service system—the application of competences for the benefit of another. What exactly are the characteristics of an e-learning ecosystem and how can e-learning professionals create such an ecosystem that provide values for the different elements of the e-learning ecosystem? This chapter shows the concepts of service ecosystems that can be used to design an effective e-learning ecosystem that will provide value to the different stakeholders involved.

This chapter reviews a pilot e-learning project at Liverpool Hope University Col-lege. It will illustrate an approach to online learning aimed at students working inthe early years education and care sector and attempts to demonstrate the devel-opment of a “community of practice.” This chapter will discuss how the contextinformed the rationale for the approaches taken by the staff team and providescommentary from student evaluations highlighting their experiences.

Learning Issues

Nowadays, the concept/system of e-learning (or eLearning) is widespread with the advent and prevalence of the Internet. Via the Internet, people can communicate with each other at anytime and from anywhere. People can also share, rebuild, stock, and reuse various kinds of information. Here, it is clear that e-learning gets citizenship in the educational society instead of CAI (computer-assisted instruction) and CMI (computer-managed instruction). As a response to society’s advance, it is necessary to construct a new learning ecology, such as a learning organization or a learning community. To date, the need for an understanding of e-learning issues has not been met by a coherent set of principles for examining past work and plotting fruitful directions. Obviously, it would be difficult to document the many seeds sown now.

E Learning

Humans need assistance in learning. This is particularly true when learning is supported by modern information and communication technologies. Most current IT systems appear as more or less complex tools. The more ambitious the problems in the application domain are, the more complex are the tools. This is one of the key obstacles to a wider acceptance of technology enhanced learning approaches (e-learning, for short). In computer science, in general, and in e-learning, in particular, we do need a paradigmatic shift from tools of a growing complexity to intelligent assistants to the human user. Computerized assistants that are able to adapt to their human users’ needs and desires need some ability to learn. In e-learning, in particular, they need to learn about the learner and to build an internal model of the learner as a basis of adaptive system behavior. Steps toward assistance in e-learning are systematically illustrated by means of the authors’ e-learning projects and systems eBuT and DaMiT. These steps are summarized in some process model proposed to the e-learning community.

E-learning is a very dynamic field, constantly growing, which refers to an educa-tional content or learning experiences provided or made by means of digital tech-nologies. The development of this area has a direct impact on the quality of edu-cation and cost reduction. E-learning is now dominated by learning management systems such as Moo-dle, to improve the interoperability of these systems; the use of data / resources is a major requirement, this need to push the e-Learning community to seek new approaches to improve this interoperability of systems. On the other hand, se-mantic Web technologies offers standards like RDF allows to describe Web re-sources with their metadata. We propose in this work an approach based on Se-mantic Web technology to improve the interoperability of e-Learning systems like Moodle.
