Learning in a Simulated Environment

چکیده
E-business is being heralded as the new economy. However, developments in the area of new online business-to-consumer (B2C) venture creation has been accompanied by varying degrees of success, and it is increasingly recognized that online venture creation does not materialize overnight. E-business development typically follows an evolutionary cycle of initial experimentation with Internet technologies and the transformation of consumer propositions toward the creation of a commercially viable online presence. To enable entrepreneurs to negotiate this new business landscape, Netrepreneur simulates the initial startup phases of ebusiness creation in the online economy. Through the modeling and electronic simulation of the e-commerce environment, Netrepreneur aims to create a holistic understanding of the entrepreneurial process as well as encourage participants to learn by doing in the simulated virtual world instead of trial and error in the real e-economy. This paper reviews the underpinning entrepreneurial pedagogic requirements for design conceptualization and the integration of the real and virtual business worlds within the Netrepreneur system development. It documents the key factors that academia should consider when designing learning programs and activities for would-be e-entrepreneurs. It is our hope that by showing the background to the development of this product, we will facilitate more of this type of innovation in education.

متن کاملDevelopment of Reinforcement Learning Algorithm to Study the Capacity Withholding in Electricity Energy Markets
This paper addresses the possibility of capacity withholding by energy producers, who seek to increase the market price and their own profits. The energy market is simulated as an iterative game, where each state game corresponds to an hourly energy auction with uniform pricing mechanism. The producers are modeled as agents that interact with their environment through reinforcement learning (RL...
متن کاملTraining Intuitive Decision Making in a Simulated Real-World Environment
OBJECTIVE We investigated whether naturalistic, intuitive (pattern recognition-based) decision making can be developed via implicit statistical learning in a simulated real-world environment. BACKGROUND To our knowledge, no definitive studies have actually shown that implicit learning plays a causal role in the development of intuitive decision making when the latter is defined as pattern rec...

متن کاملSimulated Transfer Learning Through Deep Reinforcement Learning
This paper encapsulates the use reinforcement learning on raw images provided by a simulation to produce a partially trained network. Before training is continued, this partially trained network is fed different raw images that are more tightly coupled with a richer representation of the non-simulated environment. The use of transfer learning allows for the model to adjust to this richer repres...
متن کاملComparison of actual and preferred nursing student perception of clinical learning environment in Arak university of medical sciences, 2009
Introduction: Nursing is a practice-based discipline. The clinical field is an essential and irreplaceable resource in preparing student nurse for their professional role. Despite many changes that occur in clinical learning environment (CLE), these environments remains important to nurse training. However, we need to identify the key attributes of a good CLE. It is important we utilize these f...
