A substantial disadvantage of traditional learning is that all students follow the same learning sequence, but not all of them have the same background of knowledge, the same preferences, the same learning goals, and the same needs. Traditional teaching resources, such as textbooks, in most cases pursue students to follow fixed sequences during the...

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused changes in terms of traditional teaching globally. In Kosova context, the Universities have found the transition from teaching in class to online classes quite challenging. This study investigates the transformation process from in-campus classes to online classes from the technical perspective within five Higher Ed...

The advent of the Internet and a large number of digital technologies has brought with it many different challenges. A large amount of data is found on the web, which in most cases is unstructured and unorganized, and this contributes to the fact that the use and manipulation of this data is quite a difficult process. Due to this fact, the usage of...

Analysis of a large amount of data has always brought value to institutions and organizations. Lately, people's opinions expressed through text have become a very important aspect of this analysis. In response to this challenge, a natural language processing technique known as Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis (ABSA) has emerged. Having the ability t...

In the WWW (World Wide Web), dynamic development and spread of data has resulted a tremendous amount of information available on the Internet, yet user is unable to find relevant information in a short span of time. Consequently, a system called recommendation system developed to help users find their infromation with ease through their browsing ac...

Despite ever accelerating workplace changes, including rapidly expanding technological access and fast improving information and communication systems, the education system in Kosovo is not fully developed enough to provide a high-quality research-based education in Information and Communication Technology. Coping simultaneously with varied nationa...

The extensive use of the internet is continuously drifting businesses to incorporate their services in the online environment. One of the first spectrums to embrace this evolution was the banking sector. In fact, the first known online banking service came in 1980. It was deployed from a community bank located in Knoxville, called the United Americ...

A new interest in the use of game factors while acquiring new knowledge has emerged, and a number of researchers are investigating the effectiveness of the game-based approach in education systems. Recent research in game-based learning suggests that this approach imparts learning by involving learners in the learning process. The game factors gene...

During the 2017 spring semester, international educators from the United States and Sweden collaborated on an Information Systems, Analysis, Design and Modeling course at the University of Business and Technology (UBT) in Kosovo for graduate students. In the spring of 2018, the collaboration and course were repeated with both graduate and undergrad...

Today the data crawling process within web applications is implemented through various search engines. A number of providers offer various search engines as part of Cloud services, respectively as software as a service. These services are aiming to offer better performance in compare to traditional search engines, with minimal configuration require...

Avoiding digital marketing, surveys, reviews and online users behavior approaches on digital age are the key elements for a powerful businesses to fail, there are some systems that should preceded some artificial intelligence techniques. In this direction, the use of data mining for recommending relevant items as a new state of the art technique is...

Information focused, learning centered, and systems enabled, Informed Systems (Somerville, United States) guides collaborative design (co-design) of the University for Business and Technology Knowledge Center in Pristina, Kosovo. Conceptual modeling activities since April 2017 engage students in integrating Informed Learning theory (Bruce, Australi...

Cloud e-Learning (CeL) is a new paradigm for e-Learning, aiming towards using any possible learning object from the cloud in a smart way and generate a personalised learning path for individual learners. An issue that appears before the generation of the learning path through automated planning, is to filter a pool of resources that are relevant to...

Everything stored on the cloud could potentially be a knowledge source used for e-learning. Given learners’ profiles, desires and feedback on what they have already learned, a new form of personalised e-learning emerges, namely Cloud E- Learning (CeL). CeL should be able to choose from structured to totally unstructured learning material but needs t...

Automated planning is being used in various domains for generating processes that require to bridge a current and a desired state of affairs. Learning can be seen as a process that guides a learner to bridge her current knowledge and skills to some desired ones. The main issue is to select the most appropriate learning resources to include in a per...

In Albanian language there are several phonemes that are similar in pronunciation like /q/ - /¸c/, /rr/ - /r/, /th/ - /dh/ and /gj/ - /xh/. These phonemes are difficult to distinguish by human ear even for native speaking Albanians from different regions. The task becomes more challenging for automated speech systems, recognizing and classifying Al...

Many online learning websites and learning management sys- tems (LMS) provide social collaboration and networking tools to aid learning and to interact with peers for knowledge sharing. The benefit of collaborating with each other is certainly undeniable, such tools, how- ever, can be a distraction from the actual tasks for learners. The paper pres...

With the advancing new era of communication, the so-called era of ‘being always online’ many providers offer their services for free. In that sense a small company or a virtual company becomes a huge competitor for different traditional telecommunication providers. Using the same services such as: voice calls, video calls, chat and similar services...
