Distance learning: An empirical study
Distance learning (DL) is a popular option in higher education. Information technology (IT) has made education more available for students without regard to location or time. Universities are now offering online degrees at all levels. This study presents an empirical investigation designed to identify some advantages and disadvantages of distance learning. Ninety students from seven different c...
متن کاملAn Empirical Explanation of the Speed-Distance Effect
Understanding motion perception continues to be the subject of much debate, a central challenge being to account for why the speeds and directions seen accord with neither the physical movements of objects nor their projected movements on the retina. Here we investigate the varied perceptions of speed that occur when stimuli moving across the retina traverse different projected distances (the s...
متن کاملDistance Education
The field of distance education has changed dramatically in the past ten years. Distance education, structured learning in which the student and instructor are separated by place, and sometimes by time is currently the fastest growing form of domestic and international education. What was once considered a special form of education using nontraditional delivery systems, is now becoming an impor...
متن کاملAn Empirical Comparison of Distance Measures for Multivariate Time Series Clustering
Multivariate time series (MTS) data are ubiquitous in science and daily life, and how to measure their similarity is a core part of MTS analyzing process. Many of the research efforts in this context have focused on proposing novel similarity measures for the underlying data. However, with the countless techniques to estimate similarity between MTS, this field suffers from a lack of comparative...
متن کاملLong Distance Dependency in Language Modeling: An Empirical Study
This paper presents an extensive empirical study on two language modeling techniques, linguistically-motivated word skipping and predictive clustering, both of which are used in capturing long distance word dependencies that are beyond the scope of a word trigram model. We compare the techniques to others that were proposed previously for the same purpose. We evaluate the resulting models on th...
