Design Standardized Web-Components for e-Learning

In this paper a flexible approach to design LMS with QTI Ready component based on the e-Learning standards AICC and IMS QTI is described. This system and component permits a dynamic learning and assessment process. QTI Ready component can provide these facilities to other real world virtual learning management system.

Exploring Linear Functions – Representational Relationship

Experiences from a German-Ukrainian project for the joint development of dynamic learning environments are reported. General methodological and technological aspects are discussed as well as special items arising from the cross-cultural collaboration.

Self-Learning Fuzzy Spiking Neural Network as a Nonlinear Pulse-Position Threshold Detection Dynamic System Based on Second-Order Critically Damped Response Units

Architecture and learning algorithm of self-learning spiking neural network in fuzzy clustering task are outlined. Fuzzy receptive neurons for pulse-position transformation of input data are considered. It is proposed to treat a spiking neural network in terms of classical automatic control theory apparatus based on the Laplace transform. It is shown that synapse functioning can be easily modeled by a second order damped response unit. Spiking neuron soma is presented as a threshold detection unit. Thus, the proposed fuzzy spiking neural network is an analog-digital nonlinear pulse-position dynamic system. It is demonstrated how fuzzy probabilistic and possibilistic clustering approaches can be implemented on the base of the presented spiking neural network.

About theExperience of Developing Interactive Dynamic Illustrations for Educational e-Materials

Publication describes the author’s experience in the development of illustrative dynamic materials for eLearning courses. The presented illustrations offer multiply interactive possibilities for a student and powerful flexibility in creating theoretical or control pages for a teacher. Both specialized and universal ways for illuminating of educational materials are discussed. All interactive dynamic illustrations are realized as Java applets, although it is emphasized, that basic ideas are helpful for any other similar technology.

A Planning Model with Resources in e-Learning

This work proposes a model for planning of education based on resources and layers. Each learning material or concept is determined by certain characteristics: a layer and a list of resources and resource values. Models of studied subject domain, learner, information and verification unit, learning material, plan of education and education have been defined. The plan of education can be conventional, statical, author’s and dynamic. Algorithms for course generation, dynamic plan generation and carrying out education are presented. The proposed model for planning of education based on resources and layers has been included in the system PeU.

A 3D Model as a Tool for Increasing the Effectiveness of E-Learning

The paper proposes a 3D model which could be used as a tool for increasing the effectiveness of e-learning. It also offers an approach for applying this 3D model for increasing the effectiveness of e-learning. This approach has methodical value in line with the idea for dynamic adjustment of the individual learning profile of each student in order to increase the personalization level in the e-learning process.
