Amongst open-source e-learning systems, WebGoat, a progression of OWASP, provides some room for teaching the penetration testing techniques. Yet, it is a major concern of its learners as to whether the WebGoat interface is user-friendly enough to help them acquaint themselves of the desired Web application security knowledge. This chapter encompasses a heuristic evaluation of this application to acquire the usability of contemporary version of WebGoat. In this context of evaluation, the in-house formal lab testing of WebGoat was conducted by the authors. The results highlight some important issues and usability problems that frequently pop-up in the contemporary version. The research results would be pivotal to the embedding of an operational as well as user-friendly interface for its future version.

User Knowledge

Currently, Internet resources are widely used in medical education, becoming one of the key tools of e-learning. We have developed a web application for congenital malformations and anomalies for medical students as an additional tool for self-learning. The web application contains two components: multimedia descriptions of congenital malformations, including images, animations, videos and interactive graphical tests; and the knowledge control module. It is important to evaluate effectiveness of web application and to improve the quality of the resources. We sought to evaluate the effectiveness of a web application by analyzing user knowledge dynamics and use the information to improve content. The anonymous testing involved 260 users – doctors, medical students and teachers. Using the longitudinal method of the study, we analyzed the dynamics of the group-averaged rate of correct responses after repeated testing attempts. The results showed differences in the initial level of knowledge of users, and the results of medical students’ tests in dynamics were improved more than the results of doctors. The initial value of the percentage of correct responses to the control questions and the growth dynamics of this indicator after repeated attempts are important indicators for assessing the usefulness of a particular question. For developers, this information, based on objective indicators, has proved useful for improving the educational resource.

Interesting Area

In the last few years, Educational Data Mining has become an interesting area exploited to discover and extract hidden knowledge of students from educational environment data. During the establishment of this work an attempt was made to manage the extracted information using mining techniques. These methods took place in order to get groups of students with similar characteristics. The application of classification, clustering and association rules mining algorithms on the data stored on the e-learning (Moodle system) database allowed to extract knowledges that help to understand students' behaviors and patterns. Additionally, the development of a Web application for the educators is a tool to monitor their students learning behavior by monitoring the number of assignments taken, the number of quizzes taken, the number of forum post and read by students, etc. The knowledge obtained can help the instructors to make decision about their students' interacting with the courses activities in Moodle system, and to create an efficient educational environment. In this research, a Data Mining tool called RapidMiner was used for mining the data from the Moodle system database, and a web application written in PHP was established to aid teachers with statistics.

E Learning

Success of any web product and application relies upon how thoughtfully and wisely technology has been implemented for developing and deploying that product – be it e-commerce product or e-learning product. Alongside pedagogy, application of appropriate technology is the important determinant for an effective and engrossing learning experience of any e-content or e-learning system. To understand the proper utilization of IT strategies for e-content development, the qualitative method of research has been used in this study by which content analysis has been done on the interviewed data, gathered from the IT professionals, with the help of Atlas.Ti software. The findings of this study suggest how web technology can be deployed for e-content in the five identified stages, namely – programming language, web application framework, presentation/design, content creation and server-side technology including cloud storage. For this, a comprehensive technical guideline along framework for e-content development and deployment has been formulated.

Comparative Results

English phrasal verbs such as ‘call off’ (a game due to rain) and (the buttons) ‘come off’ are difficult for non-native speakers to learn because the meanings of many phrasal verbs are not compositions of the meanings of each component. It was reported that the use of phrasal verbs was avoided by non-native speakers and that the mastery of collocations was hampered by a strong influence from the learner's native language. Therefore, to prevent such interference from learners’ native languages, it would be appropriate to learn phrasal verbs directly through nonverbal media such as pictures and sound. A web application was developed for the picture-based e-learning of phrasal verbs. An experiment was conducted, which consisted of a sequence of two sessions with a week-long break in between. In order to investigate the learning effectiveness, two methods were compared: one with the display of meaning with still pictures, and the other with Japanese word glosses. Two groups participated in the experiment, and each group had both methods. The only difference was the sequence of the order of the two methods. This paper reports the comparative results of the two post-tests by the two groups, discusses some of the findings, and offers several suggestions.
