Measuring the quality of a b-learning environment is critical to determine the success of a b-learning course. There are a lot of materials related to the quality process, namely different approaches and perspectives but none of them is specific of the product of a b-learning context. In this paper we identify the indicators that should be analyzed in order to determine the quality of a b-learning course, since its success reflect not only the student’s perception, but also what should be taken into account. B-Learning environments are relatively new and combine educational characteristics with technological elements that support the learning process and the training delivery. Our main objective is to know what a high quality b-learning environment is in students’’ perception and what are the main quality dimensions of these courses, in the perspective of the products and services offered. After a literature review concerning the quality process and in particular the b-learning quality field, a structure that provides the main elements that should be evaluated by students when we are measuring the quality and the success of b-learning product/services was created. The structure obtained was applied to a case study of the Polytechnic Institute of Oporto. Results presented will help institutions to deliver services with more quality and improve their long-term competitiveness.

Currently, the teaching-learning process in domains, such as computer programming, is characterized by an extensive curricula and a high enrolment of students. This poses a great workload for faculty and teaching assistants responsible for the creation, delivery, and assessment of student exercises. The main goal of this chapter is to foster practice-based learning in complex domains. This objective is attained with an e-learning framework—called Ensemble—as a conceptual tool to organize and facilitate technical interoperability among services. The Ensemble framework is used on a specific domain: computer programming. Content issues are tacked with a standard format to describe programming exercises as learning objects. Communication is achieved with the extension of existing specifications for the interoperation with several systems typically found in an e-learning environment. In order to evaluate the acceptability of the proposed solution, an Ensemble instance was validated on a classroom experiment with encouraging results.

O objectivo deste trabalho consistiu no desenvolvimento de um protótipo que possibilita a adaptação do conteúdo disponibilizado de acordo com as características pessoais e psicológicas do aluno, aplicado no ensino da Medicina, nomeadamente na componente de Desenho de Estudos da disciplina de Introdução à Medicina. Para o protótipo desenvolvido foi definida uma arquitectura constituída por três componentes: um Modelo de Aluno que engloba as características pessoais e psicológicas do aluno, um Modelo de Domínio constituído por um grafo de conceitos e um Modelo Pedagógico formado pelas regras de adaptação e mecanismos de interação utilizados para obter uma solução adaptativa. Os diferentes componentes desenvolvidos para este protótipo permitem que este apresente as seguintes funcionalidades: Acesso ao conceito adequado, tendo em consideração o nível de conhecimento do aluno; Visualização de conte udos adequados ao estilo de aprendizagem do aluno; Adaptação do percurso do aluno de acordo com os resultados obtidos; Atualização das preferências de aprendizagem, com base no comportamento demonstrado pelo aluno na interação com o sistema. A primeira versão da ferramenta j a foi implementada. No entanto ainda será realizada a avaliação do protótipo em ambiente de aprendizagem, com a maior brevidade possível.
