The method is based on an analysis of students’ behavior during working with online materials after visiting the classroom lectures or viewing prerecorded lectures. The students’ behavior is monitored via analysis of Log files, and via special extensions of e-book readers and online movie viewers. All the data are recorded on a web site. The gathered data is analyzed to draw conclusions about the quality of lecturing.

Learning Management System can be seen as a structured repository of courseware materials provided with additional communication facilities such as discussion forum, annotations, chats, etc. In this paper, we present innovative features of a modern LMS called WBT-Master. These features actually justify the development of yet another LMS.

Developing LMS that satisfy the needs and desires of teachers is crucial in elearning. In a simple case, teachers need to provide a set of files to be downloaded by students (library) and participate in an asynchronous discussion (discussion forum). In more complex cases, students are provided with synchronous communication and collaboration tools, implement practical assignments, use virtual reality landscapes, etc. Teachers see a particular LMS from the perspective whether it is capable of implementing an e-learning scenario needed by the teacher, or not. Thus, a modern LMS should demonstrate the ability to implement a variety of different e-learning scenarios, and should support an evolutionary development paradigm to adopt the system functionality to permanent changes of user requirements. This paper proposes a novel object-oriented architecture for implementing learni...

These goods are available in the form of image textures, 3D objects, and scripts. The theft or unauthorized use of these goods was and still is a serious problem for virtual ...

A significant number of new mobile phones come with a built-in camera. These technologies together with the fact that mobile phones are next to the owner most of the time are the foundation of a variety of interesting applications. In Japan more than 75% of all mobile phones do have already a preinstalled barcode reader, that allows the user to decode the incorporated information of a barcode. This procedure can be used to improve the user experience while simplifying the ...
