A Tool for Determining an Optimal Model of Student Engagement in Wikis for Le...Cristina Felea
Paper presented at the 10th eLearning and Software for Education Conference - eLSE 2014, Bucharest 24-25 April
The problem of learners’ engagement is receiving renewed attention against the background of the transition from traditional to technology enhanced learning environments and the ensuing shift from the transmission to the (co)construction of knowledge model in teaching/learning.
Recent studies on the use of social media for academic purposes have also revealed transformations in student and teacher roles and behavior. This study is part of an ongoing research on various pedagogical aspects related to early adoption of Web 2.0 tools (wikis) in a blended language learning program of English for Academic Purposes attended by undergraduate students in social sciences in a Romanian university.
The authors’ prior research on student behavior suggested low participation levels during the semester and high activity under the pressure of finals. Our current objective is to continue the research in an attempt to provide a more accurate learner profile that could help teachers improve the learning environment to further activate their students.
We applied the ROC analysis, a cost/benefit analysis of diagnostic decision making, in order to diagnose the features of students who would use successfully a Web 2.0 tool for learning. The study aims to exemplify how ROC analysis can be used to offer a classification of students with positive/negative inclinations to adopt a Web 2.0 tool by eliminating the false positives,respectively the false negatives.
Consequently, it may become a tool to select a possible optimal model to be considered in the process of needs analysis and of taking important decisions regarding teaching methods, course contents and design.
E-LEARNING FOR ALL WITH INTERFACE INCORPORATING KNOWLEDGE ABOUT USER acijjournal
The rapid development of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) is an asset for e-learning.This is a new form of distance education that relies on the Internet and the Web. This new pedagogical approach promote that the learner is the protagonist of his/her own training and thereby put in range that he/she needs to complete his/her apprenticeship. These resources are made available on the platform by
the trainers. Unfortunately, in the majority of e-learning platforms, the course is offered, regardless of the
state of the learner (disability, level of education, age, etc ...). Many people thus excluded from e-learning. This somewhat mitigates e-learning possibilities. According to world statistics, 10% of the world population, about 650 million people, lives with disability [1]. The promotion of employment for all,
advocated by human rights, will dwell on this mode of learning to train all young people who for many reasons do not always have the opportunity to attend a campus training center. E-learning should also be available to disable persons such as blinds, deafs, mutes,… This work develops new interfaces that adapt according to knowledges of the learner to facilitate e-learning. The illiteracy rate is therefore reduce in its
simplest form.

OERs and MOOCs – the Romanian experience paper, authors Radu Vasiu, Diana Andone, presented at International Conference on Web & Open Access to Learning, 24-27 November 2014, Dubai, UEA.
Using Open Educational Resources (OER) provides opportunities for collaboration both in the classroom and beyond. Started in 2008 and gathering momentum over the past two years, now an online phenomenon, MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) reunite different perspectives over a globalized online learning. The paper analyses the use of OER and MOOCs in different study cases in Romanian universities. Several OER initiatives resulted from the over 1000 academia involved in the DidaTec lifelong learning and training for higher education teachers in the technical sciences and engineering field as a training course for university professors in 12 universities, within the aim of improving the use of ICT in higher education. Four universities from Romania started a Romanian MOOC environment, the UniCampus, which provides free access to valuable education in Romanian language, presented by well-known professors. The evaluation and quality assurance challenges of the Unicampus are mainly due to the restrictive educational setting in Romania. Two study cases on blending MOOCs in traditional higher education courses at undergraduate and Master level are also analysed from the impact on students’ motivation. Integrating MOOCs in blended learning empower students with new abilities and requires a new and open teacher model.

OER: Disruptive Innovative Solution to the Challenges of EducationRamesh C. Sharma
The education sector globally is facing a lot of challenges: the challenge of numbers, of relevance, of quality, of access, of costs and of speed. The solution to these multiple challenges probably lies in a number of disruptive innovative solutions. These include inculcating self-learning (building on meta-cognition), measuring learning, collaborative and co-operative learning, personalisation of learning and learning analytics. However, in addition to new systems or technologies, we need a fundamental change of perspective. A very promising technological and pedagogical model that has received a lot of attention during the last few years and adoption by Stanford, Harvard, Duke and almost 100 of the world's top ranking Universities to teach millions of learners is that of the MOOC.
The Open Educational Resources have become an important part of educational delivery. The establishment of OER University is a milestone in that direction. There are hundreds of OER repositories to allow teachers and students to use, and adopt content. Keeping in view the significance of OERs, we organized The OER MOOC with the purpose to enhance knowledge about OERs and to equip for effective use and adopt OERs in ones programs as well as to be able to create your own OERs and contribute to the pool of OER resources. We further wanted to explore the potential of MOOCs to create a model of simultaneously teaching on-site and off-site learners, using synchronous and a-synchronous teacher learner interactions to deliver high quality learning to large numbers, maybe evolve a model for a classroom of 10,000 learners. In this study, we shall elaborate on our methodology, outcomes and the impact factors The OER MOOC had on the learners.
Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) are a hot spot for international education at the moment, getting quite a lot of attention – in some cases even nervous attention – from a variety of stakeholders. Where did they come from and what exactly is all the fuss about?

Toward a New Framework of Recommender Memory Based System for MOOCs IJECEIAES
Moocs is the new wave of remote learning that has revolutionized it since its apparition, offering the possibility to teach a very big group of student, at the same time, in the same course, within all disciplines and without even gathering them in the same geographic location, or at the same time; Allowing the sharing of all type of media and document and providing tools to assessing student performance. To benefit from all this advantages, big universities are investing in Moocs platforms to valorize their approach, which makes MOOC available in a multitude of languages and variety of disciplines. Elite universities have open their doors to student around the world without requesting tuition or claiming a college degree, however even with the major effort reaching to maximize students visits and hooking visitors to the platform, using recommending systems propose content likely to please learners, the dropout rate still very high and the number of users completing a course remains very low compared to those who have quit. In this paper we propose an architecture aiming to maximize users visits by exploiting users big data and combining it with data available from social networks.
Internet is flooded with information, whenever a student or educator tries to find some information or notes online, its difficult to find the correct and proper content. The information available on some sites is not open or free to access. Using internet as a tool for structuring and building a simple platform for storing data related to one’s courses and subjects, we can achieve the motto of open source information and learning for higher education system.
