In this chapter we propose functional specifications and a component-based architecture for designing e-learning platforms. An important feature is that the proposed specifications and architecture are based on the experience gained in an e-learning company and result from a reengineering process. To guide the reengineering process, we used two reference models, which are the e-learning global process and the e-learning global cycle. The functional specifications are described according to the e-learning global cycle phases and they are used to propose a software component based architecture. The proposed kernel of components was completed with services to allow interoperability and standard compliance between several e-learning platforms. We hope that this case-study exemplifies e-learning platform suppliers’ needs and available pragmatic solutions. We conclude on foreseeable evolutions of e-learning actors needs and practices and on new platform features for fulfilling such needs.

One of the problems in the promotion is the high cost. Identifying the customer segments that have made transactions, sellers can promote better products to potential consumers. The segmentation of potential consumers can be integrated with the products that consumers tend to buy. The relationship can be found using pattern analysis using the Association Rule Mining (ARM) method. ARM will generate rule patterns from the old transaction data, and the rules can be used for recommendations. This study uses a segmented-based sequential rule method that generates sequential rules from each customer segment to become product promotion for potential consumers. The method was tested by comparing product promotions based on rules and product promotions without based on rules. Based on the test results, the average percentage of transaction from product promotion based on rules is 2,622%, higher than the promotion with the latest products with an average rate of transactions only 0,315%. The hypothesis in each segment obtained from the sample can support the statement that product promotion in all segments based on rules can be more effective in increasing sales compared to promotions that use the latest products without using rules recommendations.

This study is a descriptive case study that tries to follow the students’ learning process in using Quipper, an e-learning platform to prepare them for the upcoming Computer-based National Examination. During the length of the research, the students’ perception of Quipper as a practice tool will be gathered and presented, along with the aspects that need to be further developed in the future, and students’ suggestions on how to develop Quipper into an e-learning platform with better functionality. Results of the study revealed that the students have positive perception towards Quipper with several notes about the need to revisit the functionalities and user interface according to what most students would be comfortable with as users. Further, the study also revealed critiques from the students for Quipper’s future developments. Finally, on the basis of the critiques, some suggestions were also given by the students participated in this study. The suggestions consisted of conducting more research on another level of educations besides junior high school to get the overall idea of what the users from all age range need and also the need to conduct research on several other e-learning platforms.

RESUMO: O presente artigo descreve um estudo de caso que foi desenvolvido em uma escola pública de música do Estado de Minas Gerais. A pesquisa teve como objetivo avaliar o uso do ambiente virtual de Aprendizagem Moodle na aproximação dos pais no desenvolvimento musical de estudantes do 1º ciclo do curso de educação musical, voltado para o atendimento de crianças de 6 a 8 anos. Nesse ciclo, as crianças são introduzidas ao mundo dos estudos musicais e necessitam de todo o suporte para que se sintam confortáveis. Muitas vezes a falta de conhecimentos musicais dos pais impossibilita o apoio aos filhos, que acabam ficando desmotivados e, muitas vezes, chegam até a trancar seus cursos. Neste artigo são apresentados os resultados da pesquisa que inclui a condução de entrevistas, realização de atividades no ambiente educativo virtual e a análise de relatórios de acesso dos participantes, fornecidos pela própria plataforma EaD. Como resultado, verificou-se que essa ferramenta pode contribuir significativamente na aproximação dos pais no acompanhamento dos aprendentes em suas atividades musicais e por consequência na motivação e na aprendizagem dos estudantes. Além disso, constatamos crescimento nos indicadores de proficiência musical dos alunos por meio da avaliação de habilidades e competências específicas, bem como uma sensível redução na evasão. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: ambientes virtuais de aprendizagem; musicalização infantil; recursos tecnológicos didáticos; família e escola.   ABSTRACT: This paper describes a case study that was developed in a public music school in the state of Minas Gerais. The research aimed at assessing the use of the Moodle platform to approach parents in the musical development of students from the 1st cycle of the music education course, aimed at attending children from 6 to 8 years old. In this cycle, children are introduced to the world of music studies and need all the support to make them feel comfortable. Often, the parents' lack of musical knowledge makes it impossible to support their children, who become unmotivated and often even lock up their courses. This article presents the results of the research that includes conducting interviews, conducting activities in the virtual educational environment and analyzing access reports of participants, provided by the e-learning platform itself. As a result, it was found that this tool can contribute significantly in bringing parents closer to the learners' accompaniment in their musical activities and consequently in students’ motivation and learning. In addition, we found growth in students' musical proficiency indicators through the assessment of specific skills and competences, as well as a marked reduction in dropout. KEYWORDS: virtual learning environments; children's musicalization; didactic technological resources; family and school.
