Evaluation of Social Personalized Adaptive E-Learning Environments: End-User Point of View

Authors: Lei Shi, Malik Shahzad Awan, and Alexandra I. Cristea

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 35, 2013 Imperial College Computing Student Workshop


Abstract
The use of adaptations, along with the social affordances of collaboration and networking, carries a great potential for improving e-learning experiences. However, the review of the previous work indicates current e-learning systems have only marginally explored the integration of social features and adaptation techniques. The overall aim of this research, therefore, is to address this gap by evaluating a system developed to foster social personalized adaptive e-learning experiences. We have developed our first prototype system, Topolor, based on the concepts of Adaptive Educational Hypermedia and Social E-Learning. We have also conducted an experimental case study for the evaluation of the prototype system from different perspectives. The results show a considerably high satisfaction of the end users. This paper reports the evaluation results from end user point of view, and generalizes our method to a component-based evaluation framework.

Apply the We!Design Methodology in E-learning 2.0 System Design: A Pilot Study

Authors: Lei Shi, Dana Al Qudah, and Alexandra I. Cristea

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 28, 2012 Imperial College Computing Student Workshop


Abstract
During the emergence of Web 2.0, the methodologies and technologies of E-learning have developed to a new era, E-learning 2.0, emphasises on social learning and the use of social interaction tools. The students are the main end-user of the E-learning 2.0 systems, so it is essential to take students' opinions into consideration during the design process of such systems. The We!Design participatory design methodology is proposed for incorporating undergraduate students in the development of educational systems. This pilot study aims to investigate how the We!Design methodology would work and what the results might propose, and gather initial preferences and improve the quality and efficiency of the larger scale studies in the future.
