Serious games combine pedagogy and interactive learning to foster high intrinsic motivation and positive player experience; they can increase participant interest and make the training process more enjoyable, memorable and effective. The multi-layer model provides an approach to analyse and evaluate serious games design in a collaborative (designer, professional and player) and iterative process. In this paper, we propose a multi-layer methodology of serious games based on the design, play and experience framework (DPE) often used in instructional design, this methodology will help game designers, especially the beginners to analyses their own serious games easily, and will allow professionals to evaluate and provide a guideline of design in collaboration with several actors.

Nowadays the advancement and presence of computing and communication technologies have promoted the new learning paradigms, from traditional learning, to mobile learning and now ubiquitous learning. Following this last paradigm, we need a learner model because it is an essential component in all adaptive learning systems, furthermore, the consideration of learning styles and learner context has been demonstrated to have various advantages for learners in ubiquitous settings. In this paper, we propose an approach to provide adaptation and personalisation in ubiquitous settings, considering a combination of students' learning styles, existing learning standards and learner context.

Our objective in this work is to propose an adaptive e-learning system permitting to implement the competencies-based approach. This approach aims to develop learners' skills in order to get them used to problem situations meeting their learning path. It provides solutions to the objectives-based approach's limits by offering to learners integration situations allowing them to mobilise and use pertinently what they have learned, which will allow them to establish links between the acquired concepts and create its global and significant representations. To ensure our system's functionalities, we have conceived a multi-layer, multi-ontologies and cooperative multi-agents architecture. Briefly, our solution is designed to address the main challenges: 1) develop learners' skills using customised learning activities; 2) exalt the learning desire of learners; 3) propose to learners in difficulties appropriate remediation paths.

Adaptive e-learning systems enhance the efficiency of online education by providing personalised, adaptive contents and user interfaces which change with respect to learner's requirements. In order to understand the learner's requirements, learners with similar learning behaviour have to be grouped into clusters based on the usage data of each learner. In this paper, a clustering technique to group learner's profiles is proposed where learners will be grouped based on similar sequences of accesses to learning material and time spent. A learner's model is designed based on Felder and Silverman learning style model. The clustering algorithm has two different phases, where the first phase considers the all sequences of access of learners which are in the chronological order of accessing the learning components and learning materials on the portal. The second phase considers the time spent on each learning components as a fuzzy membership function and groups the similar sequences of learners into three clusters. Learners in the clusters have similar learning behaviour for providing adaptive interfaces and contents.

In this paper, we present our approach in the field of case-based reasoning (CBR). This approach is based on the reuse of previous traces that are similar to the current situation in a dynamic way. Several approaches have been used in this area, but they suffer from some limitations in automated real-time management dynamic parameters. We propose a generic approach multi-agent multi-layer able to learn automatically from their experiences. This approach involves (1) the use of incremental dynamic case-based reasoning (IDCBR) able to study dynamic situations (recognition, prediction and learning situations); (2) the use of multi-agents system and (3) the use of the user traces. When interacting with the platform such as e-service, e-learning, e-business and e-commerce, every user leaves his or her traces in the machine. The traces are stored in database, this operation enriches collective past experiences. Via monitoring, comparing and analysing these traces, the system keeps a constant intelligent watch on the platform.

This paper describes how an intelligent or adaptive learning management systems (LMSs) based on multiagent systems is useful and effective for knowledge sharing engineering or management. A complete model of intelligent learning environment based on intelligent tutoring systems (ITSs) using software agents is described, and a prototype based on this model was designed and constructed using the Moodle LMS as a case study. The proposed adaptive model takes into account how the users use to access the subject matter resources and how much can be perceived that they succeed on activities proposed by the knowledge engineer. The agents interact with the users by sending messages to them, and manage the knowledge sharing by changing the resources and activities available by the knowledge engineer. Thus, the agents perform the actions previously defined by the knowledge engineer, in a personalised and adaptive way according to each user's personal way of learning.

This pedagogical and didactic experiment comes under the scope of the experimental sciences and it belongs to the environmental education and health field. The methodology used with a group of 15 preschool children was project work, and it took place in a nursery school in the central inland region of Portugal. The research theme was "My behaviour is healthy and environmentally friendly" and its purpose was to foster the understanding of the sustainability vs. health interrelationship. It was designed in three phases: to motivate the discovery by manipulation, to stimulate the desire to seek knowledge and to systematise learning. Children experimented, their curiosity was stimulated, their conceptions were valued and their individual learning paces respected. The results led us to believe that this methodological choice, with these children, was conducive to raising awareness about environmental sustainability behaviours and their relationship to health. In other words, it endorsed a values-based education.

The creation of a collaborative learning environment necessitates learners to learn together. Collaborative learning becomes influential when it occurs from the perspective of communities of practice. This study aims to provide an instrument that can measure the extent to which learning practices in a country are consistent with Wenger's model of communities of practice based on student perspective. This study emphasises the applicability of creating a virtual collaborative learning environment in Saudi Arabian universities. Data were collected through web-based questionnaires distributed to undergraduate students at Al Imam Mohammad ibn Saud Islamic University (IMSIU).

The exponential growth of data on the websphere accelerated the need of extracting meaningful information from it. This information can be used for better decision making. The automatic generation of sentiments from the text is called as sentiment analysis (SA). It is a collaborative process of natural language processing and data mining. This paper tries to deeply analyse the existing research work in the area of SA. It presents work done till date and segregates it in terms of level of granularity. An ideal sentiment analyser should have the intellectual capability similar to a human being. This paper mentions a roadmap of the research directions to achieve the goal of ideal sentiment analyser. These research directions include SA based on temporal summarisation, multi-linguality, etc. This paper also mentions various research aspects to work on these research directions. Future research in this direction will also refine the performance of decision making in decision support system.

The purpose of this study is to examine how Ireland-based small asset management firms (SAMFs) rely on their knowledge-based assets and practices in order to innovate and possibly generate organisational performance within a challenging industry, and within knowledge economies. This study considers three levels of analysis: firm level, industry level and techno-economic paradigm (TEP) level. The study employed qualitative case study utilising semi-structured interviews (n = 35), observations and documentation. Results show that above average organisational performance results from innovation grounded in knowledge-based assets and methods, and the endeavour to achieve an alignment between firm, industry and TEP levels. This research provides empirical insights on small and medium enterprises (SMEs) knowledge assets and practices in an industry seldom studied. It also investigates the different interactions between knowledge management, intellectual capital, TEP and innovation.
