In the history of language teaching, the delivery of instructional materials has been subject to two major fluctuations: from traditional face-to-face instruction to Web-Based Instruction (WBI). Advocating the advantages of WBI, the present study aimed at finding out whether using podcasts can help the Iranian EFL students outperform in their writing skill. To this end, 57 students of English were selected from Islamic Azad University, Shiraz Branch and the Zand Institute of Higher Education as the participants. After taking a writing pre-test for homogeneity, the participants were divided into two groups of control and experimental. While the first group attended the classroom for writing instruction, the other group received the instruction through podcasts. A post-test of writing was administered after the treatment. The comparison between the participants' performances in the pre-and post-tests of writing revealed that traditional classroom attendance is not a necessary condition for the students' improvement in writing. In other words, if the students receive the instruction out-of-the classroom through podcasts, they can perform equally well in their writing ability.

Today, social networks are becoming ubiquitous in an increasing rate throughout the world; they particularly attract the younger generation, becoming an inseparable part of their daily lives. Among the various kinds of these networks (Facebook, MySpace, YouTube, Flicker, Twitter, blogs, and del.ici.us) Facebook is the best known and the most popular network with the incredible number of 400 million users who spend a significant part of their day in Facebook. In fact, results of various studies indicate that on average, the rate of Facebook usage by the young university students exceeds one hour a day. It seems that given the high rate of its usage among university students and its unique features (email, bulletin boards, instant messaging, posting videos, pictures and personal information), the claim can be made that Facebook has a high potential for educational use, especially in higher education, and can be regarded as a big classroom with many facilities and equipments which let users publish notes, share information, communicate and, of course, learn. In fact, experts and teachers should regard social network as an opportunity in the higher education and try to make the best use its popularity as well as its rich and entertaining features in order to enhance their teaching, thus the need to further study and investigate this social network and all it has to offer to higher education. Given this need in today's fast growing educational world, and based on the Technology Acceptance Model, in this research we try to assess and investigate the possible potentials of the social networks for learning through analyzing students' and instructors' attitudes towards using the social networks for higher education.

The development of new technologies and the advent of mobile learning systems have created a significant breakthrough in education towards comprehensive learning, for individuals in any time and place. This has attracted the attention of the industry owners and mobile technologies. In this paper, having studied different views towards mobile learning definition, we have provided a comprehensive definition of such a learning system given the present needs and expectations of learning forums. Having categorized the mobile learning systems into online, connected to Internet; and offline, without Internet connection,the necessary theoretical foundation in designing systems based on the learning theories are studied. Afterwards, the mobile-partner intelligent electronic system as an online sample is proposed. In addition, an offline system, needless of Internet connection, and just based on the capability to send and receive text, voice and multimedia messages is proposed considering the limited Internet facilities available on the mobile systems in Iran.

Providing adaptivity for eLearning systems may be accomplished through incorporating learning style, which may be supposed non-stable characteristic in case of children. This paper presents a hybrid model for initiating and updating personality type of children in eLearning systems. A modified MMTIC (Murphy-Meisgeier Type Indicator for Children) questionnaire has been applied in start-up phase of system to recognize children personality type. This questionnaire is made based on MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator). Patterns of children behaviors are extracted by monitoring the details of their interaction with system. Using clustering algorithms and sequential pattern mining, system updates the personality type of children. The proposed approach is used in 81 fourth-grade children in elementary school. Delivery results suggest that this method provides good precision in diagnosing children personality type and can be an appropriate solution for non-stability in children learning style.

In developed societies, training of disabled people is regarded important and there are different plans for teaching them since childhood. One of the most common types of disability, which are genetically prevalent, is sensory disability particularly visual impairment, hearing and speech impairment. In this paper, attempt was made to present a strategy for training these children in two deaf children and blind children educational sections considering different advances of e-learning using motion detection technologies in Kinect device and objects recognition methods in 3D environments so that even very young children are able to receive basic and effective training and communicate with the surrounding world without knowing sign language or reading and writing skills.

Online communities as a main element in local electronic training are a place to share questions and different opinions. One of the main objectives of online communities is to find the best solution in the least possible time. However, the high number of questions submitted in time prevents us from achieving the goal. In this paper, recommendation system is designed to filter out respondents range by applying an expert finding algorithm so that each user will receive question within his or her own level of knowledge. Making use of an expert finding algorithm, all users will be classified based upon their level of knowledge and then filtering will be applied on the set of derived dataset. The recommender system assessment shows that the operation of experts has been improved. Therefore, this utility can be used to help improve e-learning.

Personalizing the learning contents and programs to each learner is one of the most important goals of e-learning. So, a system should be designed for assigning appropriate learning objects to each learner based on his/her needs abilities and preferences. Automatically grouping the learners in homogeneous groups is an important subject in designing the adaptive learning system. In this paper a new method based on Fuzzy neural network for e-learners grouping is proposed. This new neural network is like to ART network in architecture and Snap-Drift network in learning mechanism. The performance of the network is monitored by a new defined energy-like function. Then, an appropriate learning mechanism is selected in each epoch. Consequently, a high performance network in non-stationary environment is designed. For evaluation of this method, E-Learners of the C programming course are grouped by the proposed method based on Felder-Silverman learning style index. The result of this evaluation shows that our method has appropriate performance in P&G indexes. According to the experimental results, this method has a good performance in uncertain and noisy input environment.

Personalizing learning is one of the high priority tasks in e-learning. Because of the tremendous importance of Learning Object (LO) in learning process, the attention of many researchers has been attracted to the personalization of LOs. The two main entities in learning are students and educational resources, so the educational activities should give high priority to these entities. In this study, a genetic based algorithm for personalizing the educational slides as an important learning material in traditional and e-learning environments is introduced. Slides and relations between them are showed in form of a graph. The proposed algorithm is applicable to all types of LOs. To evaluate the proposed method, the required data were collected with questionnaires from 36 students that enrolled in Bio Computing course. Analysis of the results shows that the proposed algorithm has been very successful in personalizing the educational slides. It can use to enhance the teaching and learning in traditional and electronic learning environments.

This paper addresses the importance of students' experience-based learning in virtual settings of higher education and some practical approaches for fostering their experiential learning facilitated by e-learning platforms. These practical approaches try to extend students' learning beyond the theoretical disciplinary focus inside the universities and engage them in acquiring knowledge and more importantly skills they will need in their professional life. To do so, two schematic storyboards have been drawn based on the experiences of some Iranian experts including students, entrepreneurs and academics represented through some focus groups. The titles of these storyboards are: “Business Plan Writing”, and “Tentative start-up of a business”. Our primary focus is on defining some technical and pedagogical capabilities in an e-learning platform based on the three groups of experts' experiences as well as principals of experience-based learning, enabling both students and tutors to use them for creating a more practical, real and effective teaching-learning environment. Before drawing each storyboard four descriptive components named Functional Specifications (FS) have been written, trying for defining different aspects of the storyboards. These components have been generated based on the participants' experiences and then supports from the literature has been extracted and added to these FSs. While the paper is written from an e-learning perspective, the issues and processes raised are applicable to any higher education system that seeks to value and reward practical and experience-based education.

Collaborative learning in traditional and e-learning environments has a significant influence on the student learning process. Forming appropriate groups of students is one of the important factors in the collaborative learning, so lots of researches have been done in this area. In this paper, the new algorithm is proposed for grouping of students that uses modified Pareto Optimal Set concept that is called Semi-Pareto Optimal Set. The main advantages of this algorithm is that it does not limit number of student attributes in forming the groups and can uses for both heterogeneous and homogeneous groups. The results indicate that the proposed algorithm has high quality in formation groups and formed groups that are efficient in two below criteria 1) intra-group fitness that is the difference between students of groups and 2) inter- group fitness that is similarity between formed groups.
