Full textAbstract:
In this article there is observed e-learing study support in subjects focused on physics, mainly in praktikum of these subjects. Teaching e-learning software made by collective of physics teachers at Mendel university in Brno is possible to use as a electronic exercise book, homework aid for solving of laboratory homework, dataprojector presentation in teaching and also as a examination of students by means of didactic tests. It is necessary to be mindful that programme is valid, simplify studying and also to raise deeper interest in physics. The goal of teaching aid is to simplify studying process and create possibility for teachers to devote all students to a higher extent. Important fact is of course contribution such a support for students themselves. E-learning support can be very valuable, highly developed and contributive but if it is not accepted by all students, all devoted lessons for its creation would be useless. That is why it is very important to monitor regular feedback of students who have a chance to use these supports, afterwords to adapt them according to actual both teachers requests and mainly students requests. It is also very suitable if students have a chance to make a choice among several study supports because not all students are same.

Full textAbstract:
This paper presents different prediction methods based on decision tree and ensemble learning to suggest possible next assembly steps. The predictor is designed to be a component of a sensor-based assembly assistance system whose goal is to provide support via adaptive instructions, considering the assembly progress and, in the future, the estimation of user emotions during training. The assembly assistance station supports inexperienced manufacturing workers, but it can be useful in assisting experienced workers, too. The proposed predictors are evaluated on the data collected in experiments involving both trainees and manufacturing workers, as well as on a mixed dataset, and are compared with other existing predictors. The novelty of the paper is the decision tree-based prediction of the assembly states, in contrast with the previous algorithms which are stochastic-based or neural. The results show that ensemble learning with decision tree components is best suited for adaptive assembly support systems.

Full textAbstract:
Knowledge forms an important asset in modern organizations. In order to gain and sustain competitive advantage knowledge has to be managed. One aspect of this is to use Electronic Knowledge Repositories (EKR) to enhance knowledge sharing, reuse and learning. The success of an EKR is dependent on the quality of its content. For knowledge to be stored in an EKR, it has to be captured. One crucial part of the capture process is to evaluate whether the identified knowledge should be incorporated in the EKR or not. Therefore, to increase quality in an EKR, the evaluation stage of the capture process must be successfully carried out. Based on an interpretive field study and an extensive literature review, this paper identifies and characterizes Critical Success Factors (CSF) in the evaluation stage and presents guidance aiming to support implementation of the evaluation stage with the purpose to increase the quality of an EKR. In particular, the guidance supports the decision whether identified knowledge should be stored or not and it highlights the importance of performing evaluation addressing correctness, relevance, protection and redundancy. The characterization of the capture process contributes mainly to KM theory, and the guidance to KM practice.

Full textAbstract:
Opto-electronic detection and target recognition systems are widely used in the detection, monitoring, identification and other fields. In order to improve the flexibility and accuracy of this kind of system, we involved artificial intelligence technology into this area. As one of the most successful technology of artificial intelligence, expert systems (rule based systems) are widely used in industrial and intelligent control and other fields. This paper presents a general model of the rule based opto-electronic detection and object recognition systems. The model relies on the expert system tool—CLIPS which supports inference engine for reasoning. And a learning algorithm is used to generate the inference rules. In order to make the generated rules are easy to understand, decision tree algorithm was selected to apply in this general model. Finally, the model is applied to a vehicle identification test, a benchmark standard data-set from UCI machine learning repository was selected for this experiment. The experimental results show that the system has higher accuracy. Furthermore, this system is flexible for other target recognition as well, when the rules of relevant targets were added to this system.

Full textAbstract:
This paper makes outlines the accomplishment of efficient electronic learning through the use of the Distributed Platform for eLearning – DisPeL. DisPeL is an integrated software system that automates the management, administration and execution of the learning process and supports integration with external software systems.The last two decades the e-leaning software systems are becoming a primary instrument for assisting or even carrying out in fullness the process of education. These instruments are already an established tool in almost every sphere of education and business. The primary goal to autonomously maximize the effect of electronic learning is achieved through the use of adaptive tools.This paper emphasizes on creating opportunities to carry out an educational course with the help of DisPeL. The research is related to creating a theoretically sound and completed technological model of an educational course in a virtual educational environment. We created a pedagogical design of a university course in “Management of human resources in schools”, which was tested with students from program “Information technologies, mathematics and educational management”, year III, in Plovdiv University “Paisii Hilendarski”, branch Smolyan. We provided efficient utilization of learning resources, coordination, interoperability and assistance in the educational activities. We put the emphasis on the primary methods for adaptiveness, which ensure maximum results from using DisPeL – a module for management of the electronic learning content, and module for tracking the e-learning progress. An important metric is the time learners spent on the individual lessons and the total learning time. The system tracks the individual progress of learners by testing their skills at the end of every chapter. Wrong answers take students back to the respective sections from the lesson. Only correct answers to all questions allow the learner to progress to the next lesson.The developed model of the university course “Management of human resources in schools”, applied in a web environment, facilitates teachers – it is easier to update the learning content, manage a larger number of students, improve student’s motivation to acquire new knowledge and better apply this knowledge in practice.

Full textAbstract:
The positioning system research strongly supports the development of location-based services used by related business organizations. However, location-based services with user experience still have many obstacles to overcome, including how to maintain a high level of position accuracy. From the literature studies reviewed, it is necessary to develop an indoor positioning system using fingerprinting based on Received Signal Strength (RSS). So far, the testing of the indoor positioning system has been carried out with an algorithm. But, in this research, with the proposed parameters, we will conduct experiments with a learning approach. The data tested is the signal service data on the device in the Dinamika Bangsa University building. The test was conducted with a deep learning approach using a deep neural network (DNN) algorithm. The DNN method can estimate the actual space and get better position results, whereas machine learning methods such as the DNN algorithm can handle more effectively large data and produce more accurate data. From the results of comparative testing with the learning approach between DNN, KNN, and SVM, it can be concluded that the evaluation with KNN is slightly better than the use of DNN in a single case. However, the results of KNN have low consistency; this is seen from the fluctuations in the movements of the R2 score and MSE values produced. Meanwhile, DNN gives a consistent value even though it has varied hidden layers. The Support Vector Machine (SVM) gives the worst value of these experiments, although, in the past, SVM was known as one of the favorite methods.

Full textAbstract:
Burnout has a high prevalence among healthcare workers and is increasingly recognised as an environmental problem rather than reflecting a personal inability to cope with work stress. We distributed an electronic survey, which included the Maslach Burnout Inventory Health Services Survey and a previously validated learning environment instrument, to 281 Victorian anaesthetic trainees. The response rate was 50%. We found significantly raised rates of burnout in two of three subscales. Ninety-one respondents (67%) displayed evidence of burnout in at least one domain, with 67 (49%) reporting high emotional exhaustion and 57 (42%) reporting high depersonalisation. The clinical learning environment tool demonstrated a significant negative correlation with burnout (r=-0.56, P <0.001). Burnout was significantly more common than when previously measured in Victoria in 2008 (62% versus 38%). Trainees rated examination preparation the most stressful aspect of the training program. There is a high prevalence of burnout among Victorian anaesthetic trainees. We have shown a significant correlation exists between the clinical learning environment measure and the presence of burnout. This correlation supports the development of interventions to improve the clinical learning environment, as a means to improve trainee wellbeing and address the high prevalence of burnout.

Dancing is an activity that positively enhances the mood of people that consists of feeling the music and expressing it in rhythmic movements with the body. Learning how to dance can be challenging because it requires proper coordination and understanding of rhythm and beat. In this paper, we present the first implementation of the Dancing Coach (DC), a generic system designed to support the practice of dancing steps, which in its current state supports the practice of basic salsa dancing steps. However, the DC has been designed to allow the addition of more dance styles. We also present the first user evaluation of the DC, which consists of user tests with 25 participants. Results from the user test show that participants stated they had learned the basic salsa dancing steps, to move to the beat and body coordination in a fun way. Results also point out some direction on how to improve the future versions of the DC.

In the digital era, modules in the form of books are deemed ineffective and inefficient due to the demand for online and independent lectures. This turned out to be facing obstacles due to limitations in learning media. Digital modules are needed to support teaching and learning activities in music theory courses so that the material presented can be well integrated. Digitalization is the process of changing from printed media to electronic media. Therefore it is necessary to digitize the web-based music theory module which aims to facilitate the teaching and learning process. The digitization of web-based music theory modules can be an important component that supports the implementation of the online lecture program that is currently being proclaimed by the government and supports the environmentally friendly (paperless) movement. The next target to be achieved is the development of a web-based music theory module in the ISI Yogyakarta Music Education study program. The qualitative method used in this research is based on data obtained in the field, namely in the music theory class of the ISI Yogyakarta Music Education study program. The technique of collecting data is utilizing literature study, observation, and interviews. The data analysis process was carried out by reducing data, presenting data, and drawing conclusions. The existence of a web-based music theory module is expected to be useful. una for convenience, progress and effectiveness of teaching and learning activities. The results of this study indicate that the module meets certain criteria, such as independent, independent, independent, adaptive, and user-friendly instructional. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that the digitization of the web-based music theory module is one proof of digital transformation due to technological advances.

Full textAbstract:
We propose an efficient hand gesture recognition (HGR) algorithm, which can cope with time-dependent data from an inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensor and support real-time learning for various human-machine interface (HMI) applications. Although the data extracted from IMU sensors are time-dependent, most existing HGR algorithms do not consider this characteristic, which results in the degradation of recognition performance. Because the dynamic time warping (DTW) technique considers the time-dependent characteristic of IMU sensor data, the recognition performance of DTW-based algorithms is better than that of others. However, the DTW technique requires a very complex learning algorithm, which makes it difficult to support real-time learning. To solve this issue, the proposed HGR algorithm is based on a restricted column energy (RCE) neural network, which has a very simple learning scheme in which neurons are activated when necessary. By replacing the metric calculation of the RCE neural network with DTW distance, the proposed algorithm exhibits superior recognition performance for time-dependent sensor data while supporting real-time learning. Our verification results on a field-programmable gate array (FPGA)-based test platform show that the proposed HGR algorithm can achieve a recognition accuracy of 98.6% and supports real-time learning and recognition at an operating frequency of 150 MHz.

Full textAbstract:
Moodle is a widely deployed distance learning platform that provides numerous opportunities to enhance the learning process. Moodle’s importance in maintaining the continuity of education in states of emergency and other circumstances has been particularly demonstrated in the context of the COVID-19 virus’ rapid spread. However, there is a problem with personalizing the learning and monitoring of students’ work. There is room for upgrading the system by applying data mining and different machine-learning methods. The multi-agent Observer system proposed in our paper supports students engaged in learning by monitoring their work and making suggestions based on the prediction of their final course success, using indicators of engagement and machine-learning algorithms. A novelty is that Observer collects data independently of the Moodle database, autonomously creates a training set, and learns from gathered data. Since the data are anonymized, researchers and lecturers can freely use them for purposes broader than that specified for Observer. The paper shows how the methodology, technologies, and techniques used in Observer provide an autonomous system of personalized assistance for students within Moodle platforms.

The paper presents a concept of an adaptive training system implied for electronic learning that supports the choice of tasks according to parametric models. This approach is an alternative to the adaptive technologies based on item response theory (IRT). The features of the diagnostic methods underlying the choice of tasks presented in tests include, firstly, the account of the dynamics in an individual’s levels of performance and in the time s/he needs to complete the test, and, secondly, the lesser amount of tasks required to be presented in the training session.

In this paper we present a mobile augmented reality (MAR) application supporting teaching activities in interior design. The application supports students in learning interior layout design, interior design symbols, and the effects of different design layout decisions. Utilizing the latest AR technology, users can place 3D models of virtual objects as e.g., chairs or tables on top of a design layout plan and interact with these on their mobile devices. Students can experience alternative design decision in real-time and increases the special perception of interior designs. Our system fully supports the import of interior deployment layouts and the generation of 3D models based on design artefacts based on typical design layout plan design symbols and allows the user to investigate different design alternatives. We applied John Keller’s Attention, Relevance, Confidence, and Satisfaction (ARCS) learning motivation model to validate our solution to examine the students’ willingness and verify the ability of students to improve learning through MAR technology. We compared a sample experimental group of N = 52 test-subjects with a sample of N = 48 candidates in a control group. Learning indicators as learning interest, confidence, satisfaction and effective have been utilized to assess the students’ learning motivation through the use of MAR technology. The learning results have been determined by the independent sample t testing. The significance of the post-test had a p-value < 0.05 difference. The result of the study clearly shows that the reference group utilizing MAR technology as a learning aid show a higher learning effectiveness as the control group. Thus, we conclude that MAR technology does enhance students’ learning ability for interior design and making appropriate design decisions.

This paper identifies the role of ICT in assessment practices in education. The significant factors that schools and teachers should consider include the benefits it can provide to improve and enhance assessment. The primary focus of this paper is: What are the roles ICT can provide to support assessment in education? ICT has several roles and supports in educational assessment practices. This paper empha-sizes its roles in two parts: testing, and tasks. ICT can be used in testing to administer tests, to score the tests, to analyse the result and to facilitate teachers in assessing learning outcomes. Besides, ICT can be integrated in completing student’s task such as portfolio and project-based assessment. ICT provides opportunities for students to create electronic versions of their portfolio. ICT can also support students to complete their project. It is essential for teachers to realise that the rubric used to assess e-portfolios and projects must also assess students’ technology use.

Full textAbstract:
Objectives Information and communication technology is often lauded as the key to enhancing communication among health care providers. However, its impact on interprofessional collaboration is unclear. The objective of this study was to determine the extent to which it improves communication and, subsequently, enhances interprofessional collaboration in chronic disease management. Methods A systematic review of academic literature using two electronic platforms: HealthSTAR and Web of Science (core collection and MEDLINE). To be eligible for inclusion in the review, articles needed to be peer-reviewed; accessible in English and focused on how technology supports, or might support, collaboration (through enhanced communication) in chronic disease management. Studies were assessed for quality and a narrative synthesis conducted. Results The searches identified 289 articles of which six were included in the final analysis (three used qualitative methods, two were descriptive and one used mixed methods). Various forms of information and communication technology were described including electronic health records, online communities/learning resources and telehealth/telecare. Three themes emerged from the studies that may provide insights into how communication that facilitates collaboration in chronic disease management might be enhanced: professional conflict, collective engagement and continuous learning. Conclusions The success of technology in enhancing collaboration for chronic disease management depends upon supporting the social relationships and organization in which the technology will be placed. Decision-makers should take into account and work toward balancing the impact of technology together with the professional and cultural characteristics of health care teams.

Full textAbstract:
BackgroundAn innovative programme to improve identification and management of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in primary care was implemented across three clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) in 2016. This included a falling estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) trigger tool built from data in the electronic health record (EHR). This tool notifies GP practices of falling eGFR values. By alerting clinicians to patients with possible CKD progression the tool invites clinical review, a referral option, and written reflection on management.AimTo identify practitioner perceptions of trigger tool use from interviews, and compare these with reflections on clinical management recorded within the tools.Design and settingA qualitative analysis set in 136 practices across East London during 2016–2018.MethodEight semi-structured interviews with GPs and practice staff were recorded, and thematic analysis was undertaken using framework analysis. The reflective comments recorded in the trigger tools of 1921 cases were categorised by age group, referral status, and by the drop in eGFR (>15 or >25 ml/min).ResultsThree themes emerged from the interviews: getting started, patient safety, and trigger tools for learning. Well-organised practices found the tool was readily embedded into workflow and expressed greater motivation for using it. The tool was seen to support patient safety, and was used for learning about CKD management, both individually and as a practice. Reflective comments from 1921 trigger tools were reviewed. These supported the theme of patient safety. The free-text data, stratified by age, challenged the expectation that younger cases, at higher risk of progressive CKD, would have higher referral rates.ConclusionBuilding electronic trigger tools from the EHR can identify patients with a falling eGFR, prompting review of the eGFR trajectory and management plan. Interview and reflective data illustrated that practice use of the tool supports the patient safety agenda and encourages learning about CKD management.

Research shows that e-Government projects have higher failure rates than similar approaches in the private sector indicating the lack of a method to transfer knowledge and apply best management practices in an effective way. After stating the fundamental principles of project management and performing an identification of shortcomings of existing methodologies, that apply to public administration IT projects, the paper presents a conceptual model for e-Government project management that can be structured and adapted to cover all types of relevant projects in an out-of-the-box approach. Being goal oriented and supported by relevant tools, this knowledge base of predefined project components can then be populated and utilised in making more informed decisions for effective project management of e-Government initiatives. This way, the proposed method supports public officials and practitioners in learning from past experience projects and in designing and running e-Government projects in a more systematic manner, thus significantly increasing the likelihood of project success.

Abstract Universal Design for Learning (UDL) has been shown to have benefits for students with disabilities. However, little is known about its potential to support literacy for students with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). This qualitative study explored (a) to what extent students with IDD are able to use Udio, an online UDL literacy environment; and (b) how students with IDD experienced and perceived Udio. A grounded theory approach was used to analyze classroom observations, as well as teacher and student interviews. Electronic usage logs and student-produced discussions and projects were analyzed descriptively. Students independently navigated the environment and used embedded supports, including audio-assisted reading and sentence starters. In addition, findings indicate that age-relevant content, choice, and opportunities to socialize in online discussions were especially engaging for students. Further research is warranted to determine how UDL environments affect the literacy development of students with IDD.

Full textAbstract:
The increased demand for spectrum resources for multimedia communications and a limited licensed spectrum have led to widespread concern regarding the operation of long term evolution (LTE) in the unlicensed (LTE-U) band for internet of things (IoT) systems. Because Wi-Fi and LTE are diverse with dissimilar physical and link layer configurations, several solutions to achieve an efficient and fair coexistence have been proposed. Most of the proposed solutions facilitate a fair coexistence through a discontinuous transmission using a duty cycling or contention mechanism and an efficient coexistence through a clean channel selection. However, they are constrained only by fairness or efficient coexistence but not both. Herein, we propose joint adaptive duty cycling (ADC) and dynamic channel switch (DCS) mechanisms. The ADC mechanism supports a fair channel access opportunity by muting certain numbers of subframes for Wi-Fi users whereas the DCS mechanism offers more access opportunities for LTE-U and Wi-Fi users by preventing LTE-U users from occupying a crowded channel for a longer time. To support these mechanisms in a dynamic environment, LTE-U for IoT applications is enhanced using Q-learning techniques for an automatic selection of the appropriate combination of muting period and channel. Simulation results show the fair and efficient coexistence achieved from using the proposed mechanism.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Even short-term cognitive challenges place adolescents at risk for successful achievement of academic success and attainment of career goals. Studies that have examined subjects receiving follow-up at a concussion or other specialty clinic have noted cognitive issues that cause learning problems upon return to the classroom. However, a gap exists specific to the types of academic concerns and needs for academic support using a prospective longitudinal design in a general sample. Purpose: The purpose of this pilot study was to describe the scope of academic concerns, requested and received academic support over time among adolescents in the four weeks following a concussion injury. Methods: Prospective longitudinal pilot study. Adolescents, aged 13-18 years, and their parent/legal guardian were enrolled within 7 days of concussion injury using a community-based design. Academic effects, requested and received support were assessed by electronic completion of the Concussion Learning Assessment and School Survey (CLASS) of both adolescent and their parent/legal guardian at 4 time points across 28 days, each one week apart. Results: Overall, 37 adolescents (51.4% female, mean age: 16.4±1.4 years) and their parent/legal guardian, provided sufficient data for analysis. A decrease in the frequency of academic concerns over time was noted across the 4 weeks following injury with 37.8% (n=14) reporting challenges in one or more of their classes in the first week after their concussion, compared to 10.8% (n=4) at 28 days. A decrease in requested supports was also noted, with 48.6% (n=18) requesting some form of academic support in the first week compared to 13.5% (n=5) at 28 days. Most commonly requested supports across all time points included extra time to complete work, reduced homework, reduced or waived makeup work, and a shortened school day. Received academic support was also greatest in the first week following concussion (40.5%, n=15) and declined to 16.2% (n=6) at 28 days. Grades were reported as worse since their concussion across all time points with 18.9% reporting this concern at 14 and 21 days. Conclusion: High rates of academic concerns and requested supports were reported in the first week following concussion. In addition, a consistent proportion of students reported a worsening of grades and continued to report academic concerns and needs for academic support four weeks after they sustained a concussion. These pilot findings support the need for greater attention to the academic effects of concussion and related support needs in the classroom for all students. [Table: see text][Table: see text]

Full textAbstract:
E-learning is seen as a possible solution to the problem of modernization of the university education in response to the changing needs of the society. In undergraduate healthcare training, e-learning is implemented predominantly as blended learning in addition to the traditional classroom teaching. A major factor in the success of e-learning are learners’ attitudes, beliefs and concerns. The aim of the present study was to investigate undergraduate healthcare students’ attitude to e-learning at Medical University – Plovdiv. In this case, e-learning is considered to be electronic educational resources organized as an interactive e-learning unit or course, provided through a learning content management system. The survey was carried out in 2016 through a self-reported questionnaire among 270 first year students from ten healthcare specialties. Participants were asked to express a degree of agreement with nine statements on a five point Likert scale. The influence of gender, age, specialty and previous e-learning experience on the opinion of students was investigated. The results showed that students’ attitudes towards e-learning were positive, but learners were not enthusiastic about it. Genders have different views about e-learning implementation – women are more likely to accept it. The experience first year students had did not allow them to judge if e-learning supports better time-management or life-long learning skills. Students agreed that implementation of e-learning depends on the subjects and there are disciplines that can be provided as distant courses within the learning management system.

Full textAbstract:
Physiological sensors can be used to detect changes in the emotional state of users with affective computing. This has lately been applied in the educational domain, aimed to better support learners during the learning process. For this purpose, we have developed the AICARP (Ambient Intelligence Context-aware Affective Recommender Platform) infrastructure, which detects changes in the emotional state of the user and provides personalized multisensorial support to help manage the emotional state by taking advantage of ambient intelligence features. We have developed a third version of this infrastructure, AICARP.V3, which addresses several problems detected in the data acquisition stage of the second version, (i.e., intrusion of the pulse sensor, poor resolution and low signal to noise ratio in the galvanic skin response sensor and slow response time of the temperature sensor) and extends the capabilities to integrate new actuators. This improved incorporates a new acquisition platform (shield) called PhyAS (Physiological Acquisition Shield), which reduces the number of control units to only one, and supports both gathering physiological signals with better precision and delivering multisensory feedback with more flexibility, by means of new actuators that can be added/discarded on top of just that single shield. The improvements in the quality of the acquired signals allow better recognition of the emotional states. Thereof, AICARP.V3 gives a more accurate personalized emotional support to the user, based on a rule-based approach that triggers multisensorial feedback, if necessary. This represents progress in solving an open problem: develop systems that perform as effectively as a human expert in a complex task such as the recognition of emotional states.

This research is about the Learning Implementation using The ‘Student Centered Learning’ Base in the Pancasila and Citizenship Education Department, the learning process activity can be divided into two types of approaches, such as the learning approach with ‘Teacher Centered Learning’ (TCL) base, and with the ‘Student Centered Learning’ (SCL) base. The approach of learning using the ‘Teacher Centered Learning’(TCL) base is an activity in which the lecturer becomes the main subject in the process of learning, and within the learning process using the ‘Teacher Centered Learning’ (TCL) the lecturer will be a lot more active than the students and thus have a much more important role in this method when it comes to giving the materials for learning. In the ‘Teacher Centered Learning’ (TCL) base method, students tend to be much less active in the learning process, whereas the ‘Student Centered Learning’ (SCL) is a method that gives the students the chance to be active in the process, or in this case, the students are now the main subject of the learning process. The approach of this research is based on qualitative approach and also using descriptive study method. The implementation of learning using the ‘Student Centered Learning’ (SCL) is done through several stages, beginning with planning, execution, and ends with evaluation. In the planning stage the lecturer prepares the administrative part of learning, in which includes making lesson plan, and preparing things that support the learning process, such as media, learning resources, or other innovations that supports learning. This stage of the learning process aims to determine the initial steps so that the learning process can run effectively and efficiently, the making of the lesson plan which positions the students to have a much more dominant role than lecturers is a form of learning using the ‘Student Centered Learning’ (SCL) method, in this stage the implementation of learning makes the students take more part in the learning process compared to lecturers, students are required to be active and creative in the learning process, in this activity the use of learning media is very helpful to be able to implement student centered learning. Student's active role can be applied through class presentations about the material being discussed, besides that the use of electronic-based learning or e-learning has been applied in the Department of Pancasila and Citizenship Education. The last stage is the closing stage where the usual thing to do is to reflect on the learning that has been done with the intent to evaluate so students and lecturers can determine learning improvements at the next meeting.

Full textAbstract:
Difficulty with social skills is a distinctive characteristic of many students with special needs, even those with mild disabilities. The literature supports many approaches to teaching social skills, yet many of these interventions require one-on-one intensive training for implementation, and/or are being conducted in laboratory or clinical settings rather than in naturalistic environments. As technology is becoming a growing component of social skills intervention through the use of Smartboards, Ipads, computers, and other electronic devices, an increasingly popular method with equal support from the literature is the use of video modeling—a demonstration of a desired behavior that the student imitates. The purpose of this article is to describe Bandura's (1977) view of learning and how this theory relates to the use of video modeling for the purpose of social skills intervention. The authors also will provide an overview of current products that are available to provide social skills intervention using video modeling.

Full textAbstract:
This paper presents a new teacher interface for the Electronic Tandem Resources (ETR) site, the student interface described in Appel & Mullen (2000), and a new version of the site designed specifically for research purposes. The main features of the original site geared towards the language learner were the creation of a virtual environment for tandem language learning and the provision of tools and data intended to help foster the development of learner autonomy. The new teacher interface supports the integration of tandem language learning activities in the foreign language classroom and addresses the difficult issue of performance assessment and task evaluation. Computer-mediated communication activities between students in different countries are notoriously difficult for teachers to monitor. Nevertheless, there is evidence that in certain situations it is beneficial for the teacher to be able to monitor these activities. The teacher interface of the ETR site offers a user-friendly interface which requires only basic computer skills, and gives teachers access to data such as the date of the most recently sent messages, the number of words sent by students and the percentages of text written by each student in their respective L1 and L2, without giving teachers access to the content of the messages, thus preserving students’ privacy. Furthermore, a slightly different version has also been designed for evaluation of the learning by the researcher investigating second language learning in an electronic tandem environment. This interface has been designed for setting up experiments and some of its features allow for control over variables related to the experiment. The interface records time stamps for sent and received messages.

Full textAbstract:
One aspect of the complex communication involved in agricultural extension that is only discussed indirectly is the language we use. There is a saying that words are cheap and only actions count. In this paper, a new development in communication theory arising from cognitive science is briefly reviewed as a basis for suggesting that our use of words is a particular kind of action with subtle and profound consequences that are easily underestimated. This new cognitive science supports a changing philosophy and style of agricultural extension that leans more towards cooperative learning. Certain patterns of word usage that occur in institutionalised agricultural extension (directives and dogma, technical jargon, hiding behind formality, empty words, criticism, planning terminology and motherhood statements) are exposed as barriers to effective communication. Increasing reliance on e-mail and the World Wide Web has possible benefits associated with a more informal and personally responsible use of language. Growing awareness of the biology of communication points to the need to establish strong personal connections, of heart as well as head, for agricultural extension to continue to thrive and improve.

AbstractIn this work we present, in the context of the transition from amplitude to robust spike domain sensing and electronics, a floating memristor. It can be used to construct memristor SNNs used for noise-robust conditioning and analog-to-digital conversion and manufactured using leading-edge technologies with more ’cranky’ devices, low-voltage, low power, and minimal area on-chip. Also, this supports both machine learning as well as the self-x properties in advanced sensor electronics system for industry 4.0. The proposed memristor has less design complexity and a higher number of resistance levels as compared to other existing memristors. The proposed CMOS memristor is designed using AMS 0.35 μm CMOS technology and Cadence design tools. Its layout occupies an area of 70 μm × 85 μm. The simulation shows the performance of the proposed floating memristor emulator in the temperature range (-40 °C to 85 °C) and Monte-Carlo simulation.

Recently there has been a great interest invested in maximizing higher education students’ knowledge retention as well as increasing students learning experience using web technologies. Many higher education institutions upgrade their learning facilities by integrating virtual learning system to their education provisions. Educational content management system is now a primary requirement in higher education provisions. However, as for the context of Indonesian higher education, upgrading the learning system may mean a total change of the way classes are delivered. Most of Indonesian higher education teachers are those with minimal exposure of virtual technological use in classrooms. Although these teachers are familiar with the common internet tools especially the electronic mail system and internet social media, they are not yet familiar with managing a content management system. Universitas Islam Negeri (UIN) ar-Raniry is one of Perguruan Tinggi Keagamaan Islam Negeri (PTKIN) that share similar context. This study was conducted to explore UIN Ar-Raniry teachers’ readiness in delivering blended learning using Virtual Learning Environment. 124 teachers were participating in this research. The index of technological acceptance is relatively high (3.78). However, on the contrary digital technology use related to delivering lecture is relatively low. The use of e-mail and facebook is relatively popular among these teachers. The study found that teachers are interested in using more convenient digital tools in their classes if the university supports the trainings and assigns educational technology consultant to help them establish the virtual class and help with their technical troubles.

Yearly population growth will lead to a significant increase in agricultural production in the coming years. Twenty-first century agricultural producers will be facing the challenge of achieving food security and efficiency. This must be achieved while ensuring sustainable agricultural systems and overcoming the problems posed by climate change, depletion of water resources, and the potential for increased erosion and loss of productivity due to extreme weather conditions. Those environmental consequences will directly affect the price setting process. In view of the price oscillations and the lack of transparent information for buyers, a multi-agent system (MAS) is presented in this article. It supports the making of decisions in the purchase of sustainable agricultural products. The proposed MAS consists of a system that supports decision-making when choosing a supplier on the basis of certain preference-based parameters aimed at measuring the sustainability of a supplier and a deep Q-learning agent for agricultural future market price forecast. Therefore, different agri-environmental indicators (AEIs) have been considered, as well as the use of edge computing technologies to reduce costs of data transfer to the cloud. The presented MAS combines price setting optimizations and user preferences in regards to accessing, filtering, and integrating information. The agents filter and fuse information relevant to a user according to supplier attributes and a dynamic environment. The results presented in this paper allow a user to choose the supplier that best suits their preferences as well as to gain insight on agricultural future markets price oscillations through a deep Q-learning agent.

Full textAbstract:
High-throughput and low-latency Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) inference is increasingly important for many cloud- and edge-computing applications. FPGA-based acceleration of CNN inference has demonstrated various benefits compared to other high-performance devices such as GPGPUs. Current FPGA CNN-acceleration solutions are based on a single FPGA design, which are limited by the available resources on an FPGA. In addition, they can only accelerate conventional 2D neural networks. To address these limitations, we present a generic multi-FPGA solution, written in OpenCL, which can accelerate more complex CNNs (e.g., C3D CNN) and achieve a near linear speedup with respect to the available single-FPGA solutions. The design is built upon the Intel Deep Learning Accelerator architecture, with three extensions. First, it includes updates for better area efficiency (up to 25%) and higher performance (up to 24%). Second, it supports 3D convolutions for more challenging applications such as video learning. Third, it supports multi-FPGA communication for higher inference throughput. The results show that utilizing multiple FPGAs can linearly increase the overall bandwidth while maintaining the same end-to-end latency. In addition, the design can outperform other FPGA 2D accelerators by up to 8.4 times and 3D accelerators by up to 1.7 times.

PURPOSE Clinicians need accurate and timely information on the impact of treatments on patient outcomes. The electronic health record (EHR) offers the potential for insight into real-world patient experiences and outcomes, but it is difficult to tap into. Our goal was to apply artificial intelligence technology to the EHR to characterize the clinical course of patients with stage III breast cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS Data from patients with stage III breast cancer who presented between 2013 and 2015 were extracted from the EHR, de-identified, and imported into the IBM Cloud. Specialized natural language processing (NLP) annotators were developed to extract medical concepts from unstructured clinical text and transform them to structured attributes. In the validation phase, these annotators were applied to 19 additional patients with stage III breast cancer from the same period. The resulting data were compared with that in the medical chart (gold standard) for nine key indicators. RESULTS Information was extracted for 50 patients, including tumor stage (94% stage IIIA, 6% stage IIIB), age (28% 50 years or younger, 52% between 51 and 70 years, and 24% older than 70 years), receptor status (84% estrogen receptor positive, 74% progesterone receptor positive), and first treatment (72% surgery, 26% chemotherapy, 2% endocrine). Events in the patient’s journey were compiled to create a timeline. For 171 data elements, NLP and the chart disagreed for 41 (24%; 95% CI, 17.8% to 31.1%). With additional manipulation using simple logic, the disagreement was reduced to six elements (3.5%; 95% CI, 1.3% to 7.5%; F1 statistic, 0.9694). CONCLUSION It is possible to extract, read, and combine data from the EHR to view the patient journey. The agreement between NLP and the gold standard was high, which supports validity.

AbstrakDalam proses pembelajaran saat ini, pemanfaatan teknologi berbasis aplikasi dan internet adalah keharusan. Pembelajaran melalui jaringan internet untuk mendukung Kegiatan Belajar Mengajar juga sudah banyak dilakukan. Kegiatan belajar mengajar adalah proses transfer ilmu dari guru sebagai pengajar kepada siswa sebagai objek dalam mempelajari sebuah materi pelajaran. Guru dan siswa harus dapat berinteraksi secara timbal balik untuk saling mempengaruhi dan dipengaruhi satu sama lainya. Salah satu pelajaran yang cukup sulit dipahami oleh siswa kelas empat sekolah dasar adalah pelajaran sejarah. Pelajaran sejarah kurang dapat dipahami karena kurang menarik dalam proses pembelajarannya, terutama pokok bahasan tentang candi. Kegiatan belajar mengajar yang seperti itu membutuhkan media dengan memanfaatkan teknologi pembelajaran dengan memanfaatkan aplikasi interaktif. Website dan aplikasi mobile dipandang sangat baik untuk mendukung pembelajaran elektronik digital (e-learning). Salah satu teknologi yang dapat dimanfaatkan adalah teknologi virtual reality. Metode Penelitian yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kuantitatif dengan teknik wawancara dan studi literatur. Untuk pengembangan aplikasi menggunakan metode software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). Aplikasi pembelajaran Virtual Reality ini membuat siswa lebih mudah. Aplikasi ini mendukung e-learning dengan memiliki kelebihan dapat belajar dimanapun dan kapanpun dengan konten-konten yang berupa text, image, serta video. Kata Kunci : aplikasi, virtual reality, candi, sekolah dasar AbstractIn today's learning process, the use of application-based technology and the internet is imperative. Learning through internet networks to support Teaching and Learning Activities has also been widely practiced. Teaching and learning activities are the processes of transferring knowledge from the teacher as a teacher to students as an object in learning a subject matter. One of the subjects that are quite difficult to understand for fourth-grade elementary school students is history lessons. History lessons are less understandable because they are less interested in the learning process, especially the subject of temples. Such teaching and learning activities require media by utilizing learning technology by utilizing interactive applications. Websites and mobile applications are considered very good for supporting digital electronic learning (e-learning). One of the technologies that can be utilized is virtual reality technology. The research method used is a quantitative approach with interviews and literary techniques. For application development using the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) method. This Virtual Reality learning application makes students easier.

ABSTRACT Background The clinical learning environment (CLE) is a priority focus in medical education. The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education Clinical Learning Environment Review's (CLER) recent addition of teaming and health care systems obligates educators to monitor these areas. Tools to evaluate the CLE would ideally be: (1) appropriate for all health care team members on a specific unit/project; (2) informed by contemporary learning environment frameworks; and (3) feasible/quick to complete. No existing CLE evaluation tool meets these criteria. Objective This report describes the creation and preliminary validity evidence for a Clinical Learning Environment Quick Survey (CLEQS). Methods Survey items were identified from the literature and other data sources, sorted into 1 of 4 learning environment domains (personal, social, organizational, material) and reviewed by multiple stakeholders and experts. Leaders from 6 interprofessional graduate medical education quality improvement/patient safety teams distributed this voluntary survey to their clinical team members (November 2019–mid-January 2021) using electronic or paper formats. Validity evidence for this instrument was based on the content, response process, internal structure, reliability, relations to other variables, and consequences. Results Two hundred one CLEQS responses were obtained, taking 1.5 minutes on average to complete with good reliability (Cronbach's α ≥ 0.83). The Cronbach alpha for each CE domain with the overall item ranged from 0.50 for personal to 0.79 for social. There were strong associations with other measures and clarity about improvement targets. Conclusions CLEQS meets the 3 criteria for evaluating CLEs. Reliability data supports its internal consistency, and initial validity evidence is promising.
