Dynamic Learning Media to Improve the Pedagogic Experience in Conveying of SCM Course
Abstract
This paper presents the application of free/open source software (FOSS) for developing educational
in Supply Chain Management (SCM) course. There were abundant educational tools based F
applications. However, lecturer still faces problems to implement such an learning media for impro
the pedagogic experience i.e. customizing of software function, developing of a specific educat
media, and illustrating of a SCM course content. The purpose of this research is to design dyn
learning media for increasing efficiency in conveying subject matter of SCM course. We combin
mobile and/or web devices with FOSS of web service to design dynamic learning media. It has a mo
of real distribution problem in commodity paddy was captured. We design an interactive Web-based
Mobile-based application by using WSDL, PHP and My SQL, and SOAP. The result of the resea
Mobile & Web SCM application as dynamic learning media- will be able to improve the pedag
experience to students.

A FRAMEWORK FOR INTELLIGENT VOICE-ENABLED E-EDUCATION SYSTEMS
Although the Internet has received significant attention in recent years, voice is still the most convenient and natural way of communicating between human to human or
human to computer. In voice applications, users may have different needs which will require the ability of the system to reason, make decisions, be flexible and adapt to
requests during interaction. These needs have placed new requirements in voice application development such as use of advanced models, techniques and methodologies which take into account the needs of different users and environments. The ability of a system to behave close to human reasoning is often mentioned as one of the major requirements for the development of voice applications.
In this paper, we present a framework for an intelligent voice-enabled e-Education application and an adaptation of the framework for the development of a prototype Course Registration and Examination (CourseRegExamOnline) module. This study is a preliminary report of an ongoing e-Education project containing the following modules: enrollment, course registration and examination, enquiries/information, messaging/collaboration, e-Learning and library.
The CourseRegExamOnline module was developed using VoiceXML for the voice user interface(VUI), PHP for the web user interface (WUI), Apache as the middle-ware and MySQL database as back-end. The system would offer dual access modes using the VUI and WUI.
The framework would serve as a reference model for developing voice-based e-Education applications. The e-Education system when fully developed would meet the
needs of students who are normal users and those with certain forms of disabilities such as visual impairment, repetitive strain injury (RSI), etc, that make reading and
writing difficult
Template-driven teacher modelling approach : a thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Information Science at Massey University, Palmerston North
This thesis describes the Template-driven Teacher Modeling Approach, the initial implementation of the template server and the formative evaluation on the prototype. The initiative of Template-driven teacher modeling is to integrate the template server and intelligent teacher models in Web-based education systems for course authoring. There are a number of key components in the proposed system: user interface, template server and content repository. The Template-Driven Teacher Modeling (TDTM) architecture supports the course authoring by providing higher degree of control over the generation of presentation. The collection of accumulated templates in the template repository for a teacher or a group of teachers are selected as the inputs for the inference mechanism in teacher's model to calculate the best representation of the teaching strategy, and then predict teacher intention when he or she interacts with the system. Moreover, the presentation templates are kept to support the re-use of the on-line content at the level of individual screens with the help of Template Server
Adaptive development and maintenance of user-centric software systems
A software system cannot be developed without considering the various facets of its environment. Stakeholders â including the users that play a central role â have their needs, expectations, and perceptions of a system. Organisational and technical aspects of the environment are constantly changing. The ability to adapt a software system and its requirements to its environment throughout its
full lifecycle is of paramount importance in a constantly changing environment. The continuous involvement of users is as important as the constant evaluation of the system and the observation of evolving environments. We present a methodology for adaptive software systems development and
maintenance. We draw upon a diverse range of accepted methods including participatory design, software architecture, and evolutionary design. Our focus is on user-centred software systems

Under the banner of C@MPUS+, we have made a commitment to blend the best of our old values of good teaching and an attractive campus life with new didactics and advanced technologies so that we can extend our already unique curriculum and instructional practice over distance and time, as well as enrich it
Assessing Educational Research -- An Information Service for Monitoring a Heterogeneous Research Field
The paper presents a web prototype that visualises different characteristics
of research projects in the heterogeneous domain of educational research. The
concept of the application derives from the project "Monitoring Educational
Research" (MoBi) that aims at identifying and implementing indicators that
adequately describe structural properties and dynamics of the research field.
The prototype enables users to visualise data regarding different indicators,
e.g. "research activity", "funding", "qualification project", "disciplinary
area". Since the application is based on Semantic MediaWikitechnology it
furthermore provides an easily accessible opportunity to collaboratively work
on a database of research projects. Users can jointly and in a semantically
controlled way enter metadata on research projects which are the basis for the
computation and visualisation of indicators.Comment: 8 pages, 10 figures, Libraries in the digital age (LIDA) 2014

A Phone Learning Model for Enhancing Productivity of Visually Impaired Civil Servants
Phone-based learning in civil service is the use of voice technologies to deliver learning and capacity building training services to
government employees. The Internet revolution and advancement in Information and Communications Technology (ICT) have given rise
to online and remote staff training for the purpose of enhancing workers productivity. The need for civil servants in Nigeria to develop
capacity that will enhance knowledge is a key requirement to having competitive advantage in the work place. Existing online learning
platforms (such as web-based learning, mobile learning, etc) did not consider the plight of the visually impaired. These platforms provide
graphical interfaces that require sight to access. The visually impaired civil servants require auditory access to functionalities that exist in
learning management system on the Internet. Thus a gap exist between the able-bodied and visually impaired civil servants on
accessibility to e-learning platform. The objective of this paper is to provide a personalized telephone learning model and a prototype
application that will enhance the productivity of the visually impaired workers in Government establishments in Nigeria. The model was
designed using Unified Modeling Language (UML) diagram. The prototype application was implemented and evaluated. With the
proposed model and application, the visually and mobility impaired worker are able to participate in routine staff training and
consequently enhances their productivity just like their able-bodied counterparts. The prototype application also serves as an alternative
training platform for the able-bodied workers. Future research direction for this study will include biometric authentication of learners
