The (r)evolution of Synchronous Communication in Distance Education
نویسنده
چکیده
With the level of synchronicity now available to virtually anyone with access to a telephone and a computer, one would expect that the technology that revolutionized the way businesses communicate, would also find its way into distance education programs. However, due to the current commitment to educational convenience that has been institutionalized in asynchronous distance education programs, little, if any, progress in integrating audio and videoconferencing tools into distance education has been made. One could argue that distance education is in the midst of a communications revolution that is in search of a cause.

Tuning of Extended Kalman Filter using Self-adaptive Differential Evolution Algorithm for Sensorless Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor Drive
In this paper, a novel method based on a combination of Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) with Self-adaptive Differential Evolution (SaDE) algorithm to estimate rotor position, speed and machine states for a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) is proposed. In the proposed method, as a first step SaDE algorithm is used to tune the noise covariance matrices of state noise and measurement noise i...
متن کاملDistance Learning a Place for Application of Independence Learner Theory
Introduction: With the arrival of new communication technologies, the process of learning from the teacher to the learner’s pivot with emphasis on the centrality of the learner has an independence movement and in determining the methods of teaching and assessment practices. On this basis the independence of the learner is one of the fundamental concepts of remote education system. The aim ...
متن کاملEvolution of Distance Education from Asynchronous Model to Adaptive Mobile Model
Evolving of information and communication based distance education system is began with learning management system (LMS). This type of distance education can be called as asynchronous model. Then, web conferencing software is added to the LMS, so synchronous model is obtained. After that, distance education is evolving from static to adaptive system. This adaptive system should be taken into ac...
