The paper presents the development of a web-based academic platform designed to discuss and find answers to academic questions, where users can create topics in various admin-approved categories, comment on topics created by other users, and customize their profile with a biography, photo, and free text description. To achieve this goal, the logical processes of creating and managing a discussion forum were studied, the existing techniques and technologies for creating web apps were analysed, tools for the implementation were chosen, the database was built, and the client interface was made, as well as the functionality of the system and numerous tests and experiments. The application has been tested by students and teachers and the conducted experiments demonstrate the main functionalities of the application and prove its reliability. The research facilitates and encourages research partnerships at personal and university levels; disseminates ideas and solutions to a wider audience; creates a network of scholars and trainees for interaction and discusses research problems, experiences, and good practices; encourages collaboration on common projects; supports young scholars in achieving their academic goals, and offers open-access resources for reading, downloading, sharing, etc.

Mathematics for Chemistry course is a basic course that teaches the concept of algorithms in chemistry. Students had difficulties in learning Mathematics for Chemistry because they could not understand the reference books used. So, students need math reference books that directly refer to applications in chemistry concepts. This development research aimed to produce a textbook based on flip books that can be used as alternative learning resources in Mathematics for Chemistry courses. The development model used was the 4D Thiagarajan model with four stages: define, design, develop, and disseminate. However, in this study, the development stage was only limited to the develop stage. To collect data, we used questionnaires with experts and students as respondents. The results of Mathematics for Chemistry textbooks based on flipbook development included flipbook-based textbooks packaged in EXE. The content/material validity level was 90% (very valid), the media validity (design) level was 91.25%, the practicality level was 88% (very high), and the readability level was 89% (very high). It can be concluded that this book is suitable for use as a reference in Mathematics for Chemistry courses. For further research, it is necessary to analyze the effect of this book on improving student achievement. Keywords: mathematics, chemistry, flipbook

A Review of the Analytics Techniques for an Efficient Management of Online Forums: An Architecture Proposal

et al. 2019

E-learning is a response to the new educational needs of society and an important development in information and communication technologies because it represents the future of the teaching and learning processes. However, this trend presents many challenges, such as the processing of online forums which generate a huge number of messages with an unordered structure and a great variety of topics. These forums provide an excellent platform for learning and connecting students of a subject but the difficulty of following and searching the vast volume of information that they generate may be counterproductive. The main goal of this paper is to review the approaches and techniques related to online courses in order to present a set of learning analytics techniques and a general architecture that solve the main challenges found in the state of the art by managing them in a more efficient way: 1) efficient tracking and monitoring of forums generated; 2) design of effective search mechanisms for questions and answers in the forums; and 3) extraction of relevant key performance indicators with the objective of carrying out an efficient management of online forums. In our proposal, natural language processing, clustering, information retrieval, question answering, and data mining techniques will be used. INDEX TERMSOnline forums, natural language processing, analytics techniques, KPIs, data mining.
