In the context of promoting personalized Internet education, the latest achievements on pedagogy and psychology are applied to the burgeoning computer online learning testing methods in this research. Compared with the traditional way, we propose a novel adaptive selection strategy of examination questions, and adopt the Monte Carlo simulation algorithm to validate the effectiveness of our new method in the following aspects, including item exposure rate, testing library average exposure rate, testing accuracy and testing efficiency, which shows that new strategy achieves better ability distinction from different levels of learners. So we provide a new way for learners to carry out personalized online learning ability testing.

This study investigates gameplay attributes that were used to classify student performance in a digital game-based learning system to determine if it will contribute to achieving learning gain. The study was conducted in selected public elementary schools which comprised of 10% of all grade four students in each school visited. Word Infection Version 4, a local-area-network digital game-based learning (DGBL) system with a pedagogical agent, and a pretest and posttest module which served as the tool to collect gameplay logs of students were developed. Also, a dashboard tool was developed to manage, facilitate and administer the game in a distributed network. Usability test results showed strong agreement on its usability, aesthetics and usefulness. Log attributes, gameplay patterns, and performance of elementary students' vocabulary learning were recorded then described using K-means algorithm to determine the different clusters of students' gameplay patterns and performance while using the system. Four clusters were produced to represent the different gameplay styles of the students: gaming, proficient, productive and idle. A model that classified game play patterns of student's performance using Naïve Bayes and J48 algorithms was produced. The accuracy and kappa statistic of the produced models were determined. Higher ratings in accuracy and kappa statistic were yielded by the decision tree algorithm; 52.34% and 0.216 respectively in comparison 42.88% and 0.062 respectively from Naïve Bayes.

Cloud computing is a pervasive technology and platform in IT for several years. Cloud service providers have developed and offered different service platforms to accommodate different needs of enterprise subscribers. However, there still exists the situation of enterprise customers' hesitation and reluctance to deploy their core applications using cloud service platforms. The term data visibility has been widely used in the IT industry especially from ICT product and solution vendors. However, there is not any practice guideline, nor standard in industry to define this term. This paper defined the characteristic and dimensions of data visibility, from conceptual model to framework architecture of customer centric data visibility (CCDV) on cloud platform. It propose to apply CCDV as reference model or practice guideline on cloud computing service, with enhancement of data visibility which can earn the trust from enterprise customer in adopting public cloud service.

This article highlighted an important project-based language learning case study in a Japanese technical university. The idea of the project was to create a creative factory classroom with computer-aided design (CAD) design and 3D scanning-based activities leading up to the 3D printing of products. The focus of the course was on both technical design and technical writing and presentation in a realistic work context. Students not only learned how to use different CAD software and 3D scanning apps, they also had to continuously engage in technical writing, online information management and presentation, working collaboratively both for individual and team-based activities. Data from course-related activities and self-reports indicated reasonable proficiency with the assignments, and reasonable ability to work with strict Schoology-based assignment instructions. Self-reports indicated relatively high levels of motivation and reasonable comfort with course activities. Recommendations for future study highlighted a more integrated and balanced course structure focused on both language learning and information and communication technology (ICT) tools.

Students who are learning new knowledge in a certain area is known as novice learners. Many novice learners faced difficulties in learning new things especially for those who are not majoring in that particular area for example non-computing students who face difficulties in learning C programming. This descriptive study attempted to analyse the relationships between factors; the nature of programming and learning materials that might have potential to affect the students' motivation and ability. A set of questionnaire consist of 47 items were distributed to 250 respondents. Pearson's correlation and Spearman's rank coefficient test was carried out to determine the relationship among the factors. The findings revealed that there are positive relationships between the variables. Therefore, this study believes by delivering programming nature to students in a better way and provide relevant materials could help students increase their motivation and problem solving ability in C programming.

The paper attempts to make a case for how students' entrepreneurial skills could be improved effectively by improving their ability to put together technical presentations on complex topics, by using a variety of ICT tools. This paper discussed a graduate-level English language learning course offered in a technical university in Japan where 13 students presented on a variety of technical topics to persuade, demonstrate and explain procedures related to technology or technical matters, including their own skillset in getting job in the technology market. Based on specific guidance including assignment instructions, peer-review, in-class interactions, and instant feedback, students developed skills that could be used in a workplace context to showcase important concepts and data. The course further makes a case for allowing students more formal opportunities for technical presentations and use of ICT, that are likely to increase their confidence levels, think about complex constructs, take decisions, and represent information reasonably well in a text-graphics visual environment.

This study developed an instructional package with video clips on problem solving steps in mathematics for sixth-grade students in Bhutan. The instructional package composed of four components: content, lesson process, video, and evaluation. The purposive sampling technique was used for selecting 28 sixth-grade students of Khamdang Lower Secondary School, Trashi Yangtse, eastern Bhutan to study Unit 4: measurement. The success of the instructional package depended on the students' academic achievement and their satisfaction. To measure these, achievement tests were administered before (pre-test) and after (post-test) the experimental phase, and a satisfaction questionnaire was administered one time, after the experimental phase. The achievement test was analyzed using the paired sample t-test, and it revealed that achievement test was statistically significant p(0.000)<0.05. Student satisfaction questionnaire data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and showed that their satisfaction level was very high. Thus the current study concluded that the instructional package was successful and can be a reliable resource.
