A review on massive e-learning (MOOC) design, delivery and assessment
MOOCs or Massive Online Open Courses based on Open Educational Resources (OER) might be one of the most versatile ways to offer access to quality education, especially for those residing in far or disadvantaged areas. This article analyzes the state of the art on MOOCs, exploring open research questions and setting interesting topics and goals for further research. Finally, it proposes a framework that includes the use of software agents with the aim to improve and personalize management, delivery, efficiency and evaluation of massive online courses on an individual level basis.Peer ReviewedPostprint (author's final draft
XSS-FP: Browser Fingerprinting using HTML Parser Quirks
There are many scenarios in which inferring the type of a client browser is
desirable, for instance to fight against session stealing. This is known as
browser fingerprinting. This paper presents and evaluates a novel
fingerprinting technique to determine the exact nature (browser type and
version, eg Firefox 15) of a web-browser, exploiting HTML parser quirks
exercised through XSS. Our experiments show that the exact version of a web
browser can be determined with 71% of accuracy, and that only 6 tests are
sufficient to quickly determine the exact family a web browser belongs to
