Students who enrol in the undergraduate program on informatics at the Hellenic Open University (HOU) demonstrate significant difficulties in advancing beyond the introductory courses. We use decision trees and genetic algorithms to analyze their academic performance throughout an academic year. Based on the accuracy of the generated rules, we analy...

Over the last decades, an increase in the ageing population and age-related diseases has been observed, with the increase in healthcare costs. As so, new solutions to provide more efficient and affordable support to this group of patients are needed. Such solutions should never discard the user and instead should focus on promoting more healthy lif...

Providing helpful analysis of cognitive process is one of the main concerns for user modeling and adaptive hypermedia conception. In this paper, a work is presented that looks very closely to the Human Computer Interactions and exploits these interactions to help novice computer users. We think that all the cognitive actions involved in a task reso...

User models in human-computer interfaces have focused on various user characteristics, but there is little user modeling of the most fundamental dimension of variation between hu-mans: personality traits. We explore here the possibility of automatically acquiring such models by simply observing the user's language. We automatically learn models for...

Applying Artificial Intelligence (AI) in an educational setting presents a wealth of opportunities, particularly for Open and Distance Learning (ODL) institutions. As ODL relies heavily on human-machine interactions, AI thus naturally offers open universities various means to address issues such as how do people actually learn; what constitutes effective teaching; as well as what are the advantages and limitations of computer-based systems in education. Open University Malaysia (OUM) is Malaysia’s premier ODL institution and has been operating for seven years. As an ODL institution, OUM’s operations and services are heavily anchored on a range of information and communication technologies (ICTs) that could potentially include AI. Though the implementation of AI has not been fully realised in education, OUM foresees many areas that can benefit from it, in terms of ensuring quality, improving pedagogical methods as well as enhancing the overall teaching and learning experience. In this paper, we will explore several fields whereby AI could be potentially utilised in an ODL institution, i.e. expert system for programme advising; automated scheduling of classes; marking of assignments; plagiarism detection; retaining learners and adapting to their diverse needs and backgrounds; maintenance of property; and ensuring security. OUM also anticipates that AI could provide a significant and highly intriguing paradigm shift in the deployment of ODL and that it could greatly influence the future of all open and distance learners.
