Nowadays, after few years of this online learning mode, many issues are raised, regarding of participants' satisfaction and motivation and mainly evaluation issues. It seems that this generation has resolved many issues of the previous generations and put others to light as the quality of the course content. The introduction of ICTs (Information and Communication Technologies) in online learning improves more and more our way of learning and teaching. However, the quality issue persists and requires more intention by the courses designers and teachers. In this paper we discuss the importance of getting a common knowledge of the course to enhance its quality. In this paper, we give details of our empirical study about the impact of use of ICTS and meta data as reference in knowledge capitalization. We also give our recommendations to get an efficient collaborative knowledge capitalization ensuring the course quality.

Indeed, data acquired through assessment activities are used, on the one hand to enhance students learning, institutional planning, on the other hand to evaluate periodically the assessment process. In MOOCs, assessment is not an easy task for tutors/teachers, because of the massive number of participants. In this paper, we propose an assessment planner in a MOOC platform based on ODALA approach, to enhance the building, planning of evaluation activities. Consequently, we aim to reduce the high dropout rate of learners, which is one of the most known challenges for MOOCs that is usually justified by the lack of motivation to fulfill the learning. Through this study, we have the objective to gradually improve the learners' knowledge, enhance their motivation by an adaptive planning of pedagogical activities based on learners' profiling. The proposition has been evaluated by a feasibility study where a prototype of a MOOC platform integrating the evaluation planner was developed, tested with a test set, simulated users.

It intends to analyze people's emotions, feelings, humor, appreciation, etc. It covers a wide field of applications and education is one of them. The study of opinions in the educational field can be very useful; the use of lexical resources specific to the studied field can help in different tasks of NLP. Besides, the improvement of these lexical resources can play an important role in the opinion extraction task as it improves the opinion detection process. Our work consists of the enrichment of a French lexical resource called DICO, dedicated to educational opinion mining through a recalculation of its polarities. This enrichment is based on the use of several features including the word embedding to extract semantic information from a corpus of annotated comments, built from various educational sources. This semantic information is used to develop different classification models such as the K-Nearest Neighbors, Support Vector Machine, Decision Tree, Naive Bayes, MLP, Random Forest, AdaBoost, and SGD. The development of classification models is implemented using the high-level programming language Python. These models classify the synsets of the lexical resource DICO, and the results of this classification are used for the recalculation of DICO polarities to get a new lexical resource: DICO-2. We compared the classification performances of the corpus using DICO with those obtained using DICO-2, and the results show that DICO-2 allows a better classification of opinions, with a noticeable increase in performances.

En effet, à peine, leurs acquisition et maitrises terminées, ils doivent déjà être mis à jour. L’évolution des Technologies de l’Information et de la Communication (TIC) est l’un des facteurs favorisant cette dynamique. De cela découle la problématique du savoir et des compétences de l’enseignant aussi évaluateur. Celui-ci doit systématiquement suivre l’évolution par l’actualisation de ses potentialités. L’intérêt d’une approche par les compétences dans les systèmes d’éducation de cette nouvelle société de l’économie mondiale et des technologies de pointes est évident, cependant la méfiance et réticence des enseignants vis-à-vis de ce système restent essentiellement liées à l’évaluation des apprenants.

In this study, we discuss an experiment on relational data bases learning using a tool for the edition and automated evaluation of learners" solutions given as relational algebra trees. Indeed, in addition to the interest of the graphic languages for any training, the evaluation of our precedent works on modeling and evaluating solutions as algebraic expressions showed us some problems: first, there are various languages for the algebraic expressions. Second, among the detected errors by the prototype, developed in our precedent works for algebraic expressions, the form errors about the algebraic language have to be corrected before starting the semantic analysis. Third, in some cases, errors in the form have led to other non-committed errors which can cause inconsistencies in the errors" diagnosis process. Starting from these problems, the two pr...

Going from our precedent works about using ontologies for modeling specific domains such as algorithmic and relational databases, we show in this paper that it is possible to generalize our approach to any domain based on e-learning by doing mode. The model introduced here shows a domain through two points of views: the specification view given by the ontology and the resources view generally known in e-learning as learning objects. The specification ontology is a granular model where the knowledge of a considered domain is stored, making the use of the ontology for resources retrieval (web semantic use) or for any other learning or teaching activity guided by the domain semantic. This model has been successfully implemented in different learning by doing systems for computer science domains in particular for linear programming in addition to algorithm...

This approach, called ODALA(Ontology-Driven Auto-Evaluation for Learning Approach), is now beingimplemented in different self-learning settings, particularly those concerned with algorithmic teaching. ODALA represents the teaching domain as a domain ontology, which not only allows the evaluation to be propagated in each of the domain’s components, but also facilitates error classification and detection. The evaluation process includes an error diagnosis module, a marking process, and an update of the learner model, all of which produce a well-calculated knowledge of the state of learners at different abstraction levels. This paper also presents results of the development and experimentation of our algorithmic self-learning system.

Apart from the current MOOCs design and purposes, the creators of MOOC focused on the importance of the connection and knowledge exchange between individuals in learning. In this paper, we present a conceptual model for massive open online blended courses where teachers over the world can collaborate and exchange their experience to get a common efficient content designed as a MOOC opened to their students to live a better learning experience. This model is based on disciplines’ concepts capitalization and the detection of the obstacles met by their students when faced with problem situations (exercises, projects, case studies, etc.). This detection is possible by analyzing the frequently of semantic errors committed by the students.

The proposed learner modelling includes five dimensions: general information, disciplinary cognitive state, learning styles, preferences and behavior. This article focuses on the cognitive state dimension that is based on an assessment pyramid with four levels: closed-ended questions, half-open questions, open-ended questions and problem situations. The assessment pyramid is the backbone of the learning process since it needs a gradual progression with an adequate methodology where various computer aided or completely automated evaluation activities are proposed. The transition from a level to another is a conditional one since there are minimal threshold of disciplinary knowledge acquisition. An evaluation prototype was tested with the algorithmic discipline and develop...
