A HYBRID METHODOLOGY FOR MONITORING STUDENT ACTIVITIES IN A CLOUD BASED E LEARNING SYSTEM O.Pandithurai, M.Geetha, Sumaya Jabeen A, Swathi Priya V C, Swetha M
Abstract:
There is a rapid growth in technology and advancement of E- learrning systems . E-Learning is a network
enabled transfer of skills that can enable people to learn anytime and anywhere. It is a platform that provides
easy access to the upgradation of knowledge and skills. In this paper we are using cloud computing technologies
and Intelligent video surveillance system in E-learning environment. Intelligent video surveillance system are
widely used nowadays. They monitor the activities of a student in an e-learning environment. The intelligent
surveillance system will learn the events itself by capturing the video and make a decision that whether the
event is usual or unusual. The histogram of optical flow orientation, entropy and magnitude (HOFOME) and
histogram of gradient are combined to preprocess the captured video frames. They classify the event based on
the machine learning approach called Support Vector Machine (SVM).
ACCEPTANCE, USE AND SUCCESS OF E-LEARNING SYSTEMS IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES: A COMPARISON FROM MALAYSIA AND TANZANIA Deogratius Mathew Lashayo

ASSESSMENT IN PROPRIETARY INSTITUTIONS: HISTORICAL TRENDS, CURRENT PRACTICES AND THE FUTURE Pamela Wirth
Abstract:
The for-profit sector has come under intense scrutiny over the last decade as student debts have escalated and degree
attainment rates remain low. Legislative changes have pushed for more oversight and regulation of these colleges at
both the institutional and program levels. Issues related to program quality and student outcomes have caused the
for-profit education industry to take a closer look at its curriculum and student outcomes. Proprietary colleges are
increasingly realizing the value of assessment as both a marketing tool and tracking mechanism to support student
success. This paper will explore the historical impact of institutional assessment in proprietary education, current
practices and future trends.
