“…Finding the optimal (shortest) learning path for user or tutor has been studied in different researches. Fazlollahtabar (2008) applied a dynamic programming to find the shortest path for users in the e-learning environment. Since the learning parameters are qualitative, he used an analytical hierarchy process approach (AHP) to turn the qualitative parameters into quantitative ones.…”

The Internet and the World Wide Web in particular provide a unique platform to connect learners with educational resources. Educational material in hypermedia formed in a Web-based educational system makes learning a task-driven process, motivating learners to explore alternative navigational paths through the domain knowledge and from different resources around the globe. Many researchers have focused on developing e-learning systems with personalized learning mechanisms to assist on-line Web-based learning and to adaptively provide learning paths. Although most personalized systems consider learner preferences, interests and browsing behaviors when providing personalized curriculum sequencing services, these systems usually neglect to consider whether learner ability and the difficulty level of the recommended curriculums are matched to each other. Therefore, the authors proposed approach is based on an integer program (IP) to optimize user curriculum accompanying with fuzzy logic approach which analyze the effective criteria by linguistic variables in a knowledge based system. The effectiveness of the proposed framework is shown by numerical illustrations which are inferenced from the designed user interface.

E-learning has been widely adopted as an important tool for distance education, especially in these days of pandemic Covid-19. However, several problems/challenges have been reported in different processes of e-learning that need to be addressed for effective use of e-learning. These problems/challenges include development of student focused contents, giving learner partial control, addressing different learning styles, etc. Recently, several efforts have been made to solve e-learning process problems using dynamic programming techniques. Dynamic programming techniques divide a problem situation into several subproblems and dynamically solves each sub-problem based on student needs. Thus it allows student focused customization at each step and provides adaptive e-learning to support students with different capabilities. The objective of this study is to review different e-learning problems and challenges and how those can be addressed using dynamic programming techniques. We conclude by highlighting the importance of different dynamic programming techniques for different processes of e-learning.

Today’s career and technical education (CTE) teachers and trainers are subjected to a number of challenges caused by work systems and processes that are science and technology-based. Furthermore, the advent of information and communication technologies (ICT) and characteristics of Millennial students has greatly influenced their roles. This chapter examines the impact of ICT and influence of today’s students on the role of the 21st Century CTE teachers and trainers. The chapter describes information and communication technologies, application of ICT in education and training, characteristics of millennium students; contextual challenges and role changes for today’s teachers and trainers, and provides suggestions to integrate ICT with instruction.
