TL;DR: This paper introduces e-dap, an e-learning author tool implemented using only software under open source agreement with different usability aspects of adaptivity, and allows access to the tool from a characteristic m-learning framework using new wireless communications interface methods like PDA's or screen mobile phones.
Abstract: The impact of the new technologies has brought on many changes in the field of on line education. The spectacular development of the Internet provides motivation for studying the impact of new technologies on a natural area of education like e-learning. In this paper, we introduce e-dap which is an e-learning author tool implemented using only software under open source agreement with different usability aspects of adaptivity. Then, access to the tool is based on Web technology with a system of access keys which distinguishes between different user profiles. With this aim in mind, e-dap measures the level of each students' progress checking their test marks statistics and as a result, the difficulty level for the next questions changes on real-time. Conclusions and on going work deals with allowing access to e-dap from a characteristic m-learning framework using new wireless communications interface methods like PDA's or screen mobile phones.

TL;DR: Through the analysis of the current e-learning technologies and products, the trends of developing e- learning systems are outlined and the importance of proper theories in guiding e- Learning systems development is emphasized.
Abstract: Among the many technologies that support knowledge management, electronic learning or e-learning has become as popular as business intelligence. Along with the rapid development of modern communications and information technology and the increasing demand for building and maintaining business continuity capabilities, e-learning has emerged into a viable solution for continuous, on-demand training and organizational learning. It becomes critical for organizations to design and develop an effective e-learning system by using well-researched theories and technologies that fit their organizational environment. As we discovered in our study, a successful e-learning system is supported by many critical success factors (CSFs), and technology is the key factor among the CSFs. We also conducted a comparative study on e-learning theories, technologies and products from the perspectives of both western practitioners and Chinese counterparts. Due to the rapid economic development in China and its fast adoption of communications and information technology, the ways Chinese practitioners are developing e-learning theories, technologies and products have inevitably become a focal point in the world of information technology. Through the analysis of the current e-learning technologies and products, we outline the trends of developing e-learning systems and emphasize the importance of proper theories in guiding e-learning systems development.

TL;DR: From perspective of knowledge management, this paper makes a review about the relationship between e-learning and knowledge management and advanced technologies and corresponding products that support the design and operation of e- learning system.
Abstract: —Knowledge management is supported by many strategies such as business intelligence, collaboration, document management and e-learning. With the development of modern information technology and the increases of demand for building and maintaining dynamic capabilities, E-learning has played more and more important role of all the technologies in the supporting knowledge management. A successful e-learning system is supported by many critical success factors and technology has become the key factor among these factors. Consequently, the review of basic technologies and corresponding products that support e-learning will be in favor of further study on e-learning. From perspective of knowledge management, this paper makes a review about the relationship between e-learning and knowledge management and advanced technologies and corresponding products that support the design and operation of e-learning system. At the end of this paper, we analyze the main trends of the development direction of e-learning technology.

Abstract: With the development of modern information technology and the increases of demand for building and maintaining ongoing capabilities, e-learning has played more and more important role of all the technologies in the supporting knowledge management. A successful e-learning system is supported by many critical success factors and technology has become the key factor among these factors. Consequently, the review of basic technologies and corresponding products that support e-learning will be in favor of further study on e-learning. This paper generalizes the advanced technologies and products that support the design and operation of e-learning system. At the end of this paper, we analyze the main trends of the development direction of e-learning technology.

TL;DR: XML is the lingua franca of the wireless Web and is already being used for a host of server-server communication applications, which make it possible for different data servers to easily exchange information.
Abstract: XML is the lingua franca of the wireless Web. Its strength is in its generality: XML can describe virtually any kind of structured data. Once described, the data can be presented in other formats. Moreover, XML is already being used for a host of server-server communication applications, which make it possible for different data servers to easily exchange information. The trend toward a common format for representing data will doubtlessly present new opportunities for both Web and wireless Web clients.
