“…In our prior studies that were also set in the context of online learning in higher education, we discovered that there were two main aspects to tackle in our case: motivating the students to put more focus on the tasks presented within the learning platform and supporting them to use the platform more regularly and evenly throughout the whole course instead of concentrating their efforts to the very end of the course [7,8]. This year, these challenges have become ever more relevant due to the drastic increase in distance learning as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.…”

“…Gamification refers to using game design elements in nongame contexts [18]. We want to examine the ways in which gamification could respond to certain challenges related to users' behavior when using these platforms, for example in terms of enhancing users' focus on the tasks and the regular use of the elearning system throughout the course [19].…”

In this article we present a set of methods and models to help the inclusion of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in transnational programs. The material that we are presenting takes advantage of several adaptive models that automatically react to students' activity. These models are extremely useful in environments where a huge number of very different students (such as those found in transnational programs) are enrolled in the courses or where the distance is a problem for face-to-face activities. We present the theoretical background, the gamification and adaptive techniques included in the model and the platform where the courses are implemented.

Testing is a significant part of the teaching and learning process. An assessment test has to include test items that are tailored to the individual learning needs of the students in order to be more accurate and support learning in a more effective way. In this paper, a fuzzy-based mechanism is presented for automatic personalized assessment in an e-learning system for computer programming. Particularly, the selection of the most appropriate test items for each individual student is based on a variety of criteria: (i) the student’s knowledge level, (ii) the student’s prior knowledge of computer programming, (iii) the type of programming errors that the student is prone to make, and (iv) the difficulty level of the test items. Linguistic values are used to determine these criteria. Additionally, 45 fuzzy rules are used over these criteria, which imitate the way of thinking of human tutors with regard to deciding about the most appropriate test items that have to be included in an adaptive test. The presented mechanism was used under real conditions and evaluated by experts and students of the Department of Informatics of the University of Piraeus, Greece with very encouraging results. Specifically, both the participating students and experts found that the presented mechanism creates non-repetitive balanced tests that meet learners’ knowledge level and needs.
