E-learning, Online Course, LMS, Computer Assisted Counseling
Educational Counseling System
Framework of SOCKS


a description of the important system modules
the student and teacher modules
Examples of Results

the results of the system evaluation by the users are presented and briefly
discussed.
Conclusion and Further Work

E-learning
Learning with the
assistance of
computers
Standalone
Networked
Web based


Online courses
Distance learning
Using learning contents
Evaluation of learning results
Counseling
Evaluation of the e-learning
course
Client/Server system
3
Online courses
... are web based learning materials,
need Learning Management System,
and (LMS)
Learning Content Management
System (LCMS)
... are used for offering materials
anytime, anywhere and at any place
4
Learning Management Systems
Software tools to manage learning
interventions by users (instructors
and students)
Some functions:




Registration
Training workflow
Computer assisted assessment
Teaching and learning resource management
5
Computer Assisted Counseling
... Is done for various areas




Health care
Health assistance
Physical activity
Education
Human based counseling with
computers

Using email and webcam
Automatic computer assisted
counseling

Conceptual Framework of an
Educational Counseling System
The Student Online Counseling
Kernel System (SOCKS)
designed as a Web-based system with LMS and
Four Basic Processes:

Monitoring Process -individual students’ learning
behavior,




i.e. time spent on learning units,
Prediction Process for the student’s learning
outcome
Resulting Counseling process
Evaluation of the counseling process.
Automatic Computer Assisted
Counseling
... Uses the individual learning
behaviour



Time spent in learning units
Time spent for studying multimedia sources
Time needed in quizzes and tests
... Uses learning results


Results from quizzes related to learning
behaviour
Results from mid term test

Design and Implementation:
SOCKS
2 main parts of SOCKS Implementation
Student Part
Teacher Part
Student Interface
Change Password: changing student passwords - every three months,
 Login Statistics: checking attendance of students in the course,
 Student Statistics: checking student behavior of learning course
 Suggestion-Feedback: giving feedback and suggestions to students or
identifying what to consult or suggest and how,
 Assessment Result: assessing how much the student knows and how well
and to decide where and how much help is needed,
 Logout from the system.

Login Static Model
 IP
refers to the regular seat/computer that students must use
for learning.
 ATT is for marking attendance,
 ST and FT are starting and finishing times of learning
 TOTAL is for keeping the overall mark of attendance.
The marks of attendance are based on time constrain,

1 means you log in and learn within the time limit (10:00 to 11:50)

0.5 means students are less than 30 minutes late (10:20)

0 means students are more than 30 minutes late (10:35) or absent.
Assessment Result Module
 To evaluate how well a student has done
 To help students drawing conclusions for the
learning improvement and purpose using appropriate
response parameters as follows:
 Very well
 Well




Not so well
Not well
Not at all
Forgotten
no action
whenever get a chance, review related
concepts
give exercises
review concepts, exercises
teach
review, no exercise
Teachers Interface:
teachers and the administrators

Change Password: changing teacher passwords -every three months,
Student List: checking the number of students attending the course ,
Student Short Information: checking necessary student information,
Inbox-Feedback List: getting feedback and suggestions from students,
Assessment Result: assessing how much the student knows (and how well)
and to decide where and how much help is needed,
Message to Student: creating and sending messages to students,
Student Statistics: checking student behavior of learning course,
Logout from the system.
Add Subjects, Add Chapters and Add Exam are also on this page.
Examples of Student Statistics:
 Checking student behavior of learning in the course
 time spent on TST-TSG, TSV, TSO, and quizzes for each chapter.
 recognizes the lessons and chapters that a student has already studied during the
course.
 shows times that students spent and post-test after learning in each lesson.
 The threshold is up to check a minimum of time that student should spend in
each chapter
The minimum of time is computed by the average of times that all students
spend in each chapter.
 If the student spend less time than the threshold and the marks of quizzes are less
than standard then the students are advised to revise each lesson at the end of
lesson otherwise they will not allow to take mid-term examination.
Conclusion
 We have presented the modules and some
results of a design research on SOCKS
 Counseling based on learning behaviour and
of learning outcome
 Assistance for e-learning courses

tests have been carried out during an e-learning course on
Software Engineering with 120 participants.

Future Work
 Enable a social network of learning into SOCKS,
peers and instructors work together
in which
 Improvement on Quiz and Tests

should be classified into type of examination
 analysis, memorizing, understanding, or mixed between them
 to develop the system to keep all data of tests,


e.g. which answers of multiple choices that students chose the
most or
which questions most students answered correctly.
 Grade predictions
based on attendance, post test, quiz, and mid-term
test have to be implemented.
