Web-Based Intelligent E-Learning Systems: Technologies and Applications

Collecting and presenting the latest research and development results from the leading researchers in the field of e-learning systems, Web-Based Intelligent E-Learning Systems: Technologies and Applications provides a single record of current research and practical applications in Web-based intelligent e-learning systems. This book includes major aspects of Web-based e-learning systems standards and certifications, design and development, key techniques, prototypes, products, and applications. Readers interested in the technologies and applications of distance education, online learning, and training will find this book a starting point for the understanding of the notions, techniques, and methods related to the research and developments of Web-based e-learning systems.

Web-based intelligent e-learning systems are interdisciplinary in nature, incorporating work from fields including artificial intelligence (decision making, machine learning, planning, and scheduling), cognitive science, software engineering, information systems, and education. Here, international researchers look at current applications in such systems. The volume covers standards and certifications, design and development, key techniques, prototypes, products, and applications. The text's two major sections encompass issues related to the theory, technologies, and design of e-learning systems, and their development, implementation, and use.
