eLmL 2013 The Fifth International Conference on Mobile, Hybrid, and On-line Learning ISBN: 978-1-61208-253-0 February 24 - March 1, 2013 Nice, France eLmL 2013 Editors Stephen White, The University of Huddersfield - Queensgate, UK 1 / 66 eLmL 2013 Forward The fifth edition of the International Conference on Mobile, Hybrid, and On-line Learning (eLmL 2013), held in Nice, France, February 24 - March 1, 2013, focused on the latest trends in e- learning and also on the latest IT technology alternatives that are poised to become mainstream strategies in the near future and will influence the e-learning environment. eLearning refers to on-line learning delivered over the World Wide Web via the public Internet or the private, corporate intranet. The goal of the eLmL 2013 conference was to provide an overview of technologies, approaches, and trends that are happening right now. The constraints of e-learning are diminishing and options are increasing as the Web becomes increasingly easy to use and the technology becomes better and less expensive. eLmL 2013 provided a forum where researchers were able to present recent research results and new research problems and directions related to them. The topics covered aspects related to tools and platforms, on-line learning, mobile learning, and hybrid learning. We take this opportunity to thank all the members of the eLmL 2013 Technical Program Committee as well as the numerous reviewers. The creation of such a broad and high-quality conference program would not have been possible without their involvement. We also kindly thank all the authors who dedicated much of their time and efforts to contribute to the eLmL 2013. We truly believe that, thanks to all these efforts, the final conference program consists of top quality contributions. This event could also not have been a reality without the support of many individuals, organizations, and sponsors. We are grateful to the members of the eLmL 2013 organizing committee for their help in handling the logistics and for their work to make this professional meeting a success. We hope that eLmL 2013 was a successful international forum for the exchange of ideas and results between academia and industry and for the promotion of progress in eLearning research. We also hope that Côte d’Azur provided a pleasant environment during the conference and everyone saved some time for exploring the Mediterranean Coast. eLmL 2013 Chairs Herwig Mannaert, University of Antwerp, Belgium Dumitru Dan Burdescu, University of Craiova, Romania 2 / 66 Bernd Krämer, FernUniversität in Hagen, Germany Stephen White, The University of Huddersfield - Queensgate, UK Maiga Chang, Athabasca University - Edmonton, Canada Adam M.
