This chapter presents details about implementation of Java programing course based on defined model. Protus 2.1 is a tutoring system designed to provide learners with personalized courses from various domains. It is an interactive system that allows learners to use teaching material prepared for appropriate courses and also includes parts for testing acquired knowledge. In spite of the fact that this system is designed and implemented as a general tutoring system, the first completely implemented and tested version was for an introductory Java programming course. This chapter presents the most important requests for implementation of personalization options in e-learning environments, as well as design, architecture and interface of Protus 2.1 system. Details about previous versions of the system, defined user requirements for the new version of the system, architecture details, as well as general principles for application of defined general tutoring model for implementation of programming course in Protus 2.1 are presented.

Design of such systems must be directed to allow reuse or sharing of content, knowledge, and functional components of those systems. According to techniques and methodologies presented in previous chapters, it is possible to develop modern personalized educational system and fully use benefits that Semantic Web technologies offer. In this chapter, general tutoring model is presented that allows building the personalized courses from various domains. This chapter presents architecture of a general tutoring system whose components are modelled and implemented using Semantic Web technologies. Presented tutoring system framework offers options to build, organize and update specific learning resources (educational materials, learner profiles, learning path through materials, and so on.).

To improve recommendation quality, metadata such as content information of items has typically been used as additional knowledge. With the increasing reputation of the collaborative tagging systems, tags could be interesting and provide useful information to enhance algorithms for recommender systems. Besides helping user to organize his/her personal collections, a tag also can be regarded as a user’s personal opinion expression, while tagging can be considered as implicit rating or voting on the tagged information resources or items. The overview, presented in this chapter includes descriptions of content-based recommender systems, collaborative filtering systems, hybrid approach, memory-based and model-based algorithms, features of collaborative tagging that are generally attributed to their success and popularity, as well as a model for tagging activities and tag-based recommender systems.

The experiments were realized on an educational dataset, consisting of 440 learners, 3rd year undergraduate students of the Department of Information technology at Higher School of Professional Business Studies, University of Novi Sad. The experiment lasted for two semesters. Involved learners were programming beginners that successfully passed the basic computer literacy course at previous semester. They were divided into two groups: the experimental group and the control group. Learners of the control group learned with the previous version of the system and did not receive any recommendation or guidance through the course, while the learners of the experimental group were required to use Protus 2.1 system. Learners from both groups did not take any parallel traditional course and they were required not to use any additional material or help. This chapter highlights the results of the evaluation and discussion of analysis of the results regarding the validity of the tutoring system presented in the previous chapters.

Two important ways of increasing the quality of Protus 2.1 service are to make it intelligent and adaptive. Different techniques need to be implemented to adapt content delivery to individual learners according to their learning characteristics, preferences, styles, and goals. Protus 2.1 provides two general categories of personalization in system based on adaptive hypermedia and recommender systems: content adaptation and adaptation of user interface. Several approaches are used to personalize the material presented to the learner. Programming course in Protus 2.1 offers three types of personalization to each individual learner: (1) use of recommender systems, (2) learning styles personalization and (3) personalization based on resource sequencing. This chapter presents Protus 2.1 functionalities as well as personalization options from the end-user perspective.

In modern Web-based learning environments, the authors avoid creation of static learning material that is presented to the learner in a linear way, due to the large amount of interdependences and conditional links between the various pages. Often, authors create multiple versions of learning resources so the system can propose to the learner the appropriate one. This leads to the learning concept known as content adaptation. The order of visiting educational material can be influenced by manipulating the hypertext links. This process is called link adaptation. The most popular content and link adaptation techniques used in e-learning environments are presented in this chapter. The chapter also covers basic principles of adaptive educational hypermedia systems.

As indicated by recent reports, this progress has created a disequilibrium, where demand for scientists with skills in Artificial Intelligence is not fulfilled, a trend that will intensify further in the years to come. A potential solution to this shortage of specialised workforce may come from encouraging more women to get educated and follow a career in one of the Artificial Intelligence areas. This special collection of invited papers is dedicated to all women researchers and practitioners in Artificial Intelligence and coincides with the March 8, 2023 International Women’s Day. Moreover, it has two specific goals: (i) to inspire more women to study and practice Artificial Intelligence through presentation of recognized women researchers who can act as role models, and (ii) to...

This cumulative evolution of Intelligent Decision Support Systems (IDSSs) has served to stimulate industrial activity and enhanced the lives of most people that the modern world. This publication highlights a series of current contributions to enhance the collective body of knowledge. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Computational Intelligence (CI) techniques continue to be successfully employed to generate human-like decision-making, while simultaneously providing greater access to information to solve data intensive problems. This book documents innovative contributions that represent advances in Knowledge-Based and Intelligent Information and Engineering Systems. New research recognises that society is familiar with modern AIP and increasingly expect richer IDT systems. Today there is a growing reliance on automatically processing information into knowledge with less human input. Society has already digitised its past and continues to progressively automate knowledge management for the future and increasingly expect to access this information using mobile devices. This book seeks to inform and enhance the exposure of research on intelligent systems and intelligence technologies that utilize novel and leading-edge techniques to improve decision-making. Each chapter concentrates on the theory, design, development, implementation, testing or evaluation of IDT techniques or applications. These approaches have the potential to support decision making in the areas of management, international business, finance, accounting, marketing, healthcare, production, networks, traffic management, crisis response, human interfaces and, military applications. All fourteen chapters represent a broad spread of topics across the domain and highlight how research is being realised to benefit society. Students, professionals and interested observers within the knowledge-based and intelligent information management domain will benefit from the diversity and richness of the content.
