“…Based on research studies [11][12] focused on the context, [15][16] [17][18] works on pedagogical indicators, as well as researchers from educational sciences [19] results, we proceed to the identification and classification of context items/assessments of a learning scenario. We specify besides the correspondence between learning scenarios context and indicators.…”

The BASAR project offers a repository of blended learning scenarios. This project aims to reuse and capitalize good teaching practices. A teacher-designer would have the ability to choose a scenario that matches his needs, to be modified, used and refined. Specializing the scenario to a given context often improves the learning quality. On the other hand, it increases the difficulty to reuse it in a different context. Knowing the appropriate contexts for a scenario is essential for better reusing a part of this scenario or all of it (granularity). So, how can we characterize the learning scenarios with their most appropriate contexts based on the observation of the learning sessions progress in order to enhance scenario retrieval? This paper proposes a multi-faceted approach to index learning scenarios using the context trees formalism. The main objective of this indexing is to facilitate the learning scenarios design by and for reuse.

“…The project discussed in Shih et al [2005] was further extended to support m-learning on set-top box for digital TVs. There are also a few other similar systems focused on contextaware m-learning and location-sensitive services [Malek et al 2006;Jung et al 2006;Specht et al 2006]. In general, a middleware for mobile learning needs to have a LMS on the server side to support learning object retrieval on different mobile devices via different communication protocols.…”

“…This type of support is a form of scaffolding in which students need not fully understand the problem before they learn. A context-aware middleware has been proposed in Malek et al [2006], in which contextual elements are acquired via mobile devices by the users. The proposed middleware architecture aims to support tasks such as acquiring, interpreting, modeling, storing, reasoning, updating, and adapting context.…”

With the advent of Internet and World Wide Web (WWW) technologies, distance education (elearning or Web-based learning) has enabled a new era of education. There are a number of issues that have significant impact on distance education, including those from educational, sociological, and psychological perspectives. Rather than attempting to cover exhaustively all the related perspectives, in this survey article, we focus on the technological issues. A number of technology issues are discussed, including distributed learning, collaborative learning, distributed content management, mobile and situated learning, and multimodal interaction and augmented devices for e-learning. Although we have tried to include the state-of-the-art technologies and systems here, it is anticipated that many new ones will emerge in the near future. As such, we point out several emerging issues and technologies that we believe are promising, for the purpose of highlighting important directions for future research.

Web service provides a way to satisfy time-to-market and quality need by reusing services and building applications. Dynamic evolution offers flexibility so that software can adapt to unforeseen and fluctuating business requirements. OWL-S, based on OWL, is a service ontology language. The semantics provided by OWL-S support automation of service discovery, invocation, and service composition. In this paper we propose a framework to support dynamic evolution of Web applications based on semantic web service. This framework proposes a method to consider Web service features and to derive service description from usecase model. A prototype is implemented to show the validity of this framework.
