Saving Expenses With Technology Enhanced Learning
نویسنده
چکیده
Long study terms and a large number of students who do not successfully finish their academic programs are damaging the national economies to a large tune. In addition, personal study guidance to attenuate these problems is very expensive, too. Misunderstanding of examination regulations and a possible adversely balanced supply and demand of courses can be reasons for increasing average study terms. In this paper, we describe how technology enhanced learning can help to save expenses in this field. Our approach is based upon an ontological representation of academic programs and examination regulations. It can help students in planning their curricula and identifying the contents of academic programs as well as academic boards to forecast the number of students which will presumably take a certain course in a certain term.

Enhanced Comprehensive Learning Cooperative Particle Swarm Optimization with Fuzzy Inertia Weight (ECLCFPSO-IW)
So far various methods for optimization presented and one of most popular of them are optimization algorithms based on swarm intelligence and also one of most successful of them is Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). Prior some efforts by applying fuzzy logic for improving defects of PSO such as trapping in local optimums and early convergence has been done. Moreover to overcome the problem of i...
متن کاملThe impact of the correlation between health expenditure and survival probability on the demand for insurance
This paper studies the effects of health shocks on the demand for health insurance and annuities, along with precautionary saving in a dynamic life-cycle model. I argue that when the health shock can simultaneously increase health expenses and reduce longevity, rational agents would neither fully insure their uncertain health expenses nor fully annuitize their wealth because the correlation bet...
متن کاملDifferential Mortality, Uncertain Medical Expenses, and the Saving of Elderly Singles;
People have heterogenous life expectancies: women live longer than men, rich people live longer than poor people, and healthy people live longer than sick people. People are also subject to heterogenous outof-pocket medical expense risk. Using AHEAD data and the method of simulated moments, we estimate a rich structural model of saving for retired single households that accounts for this hetero...
متن کاملOn Anthropomorphism in Technology-Enhanced Language Learning: Does Modality Matter in Agent-Based Multimedia Instruction on L2 Idioms?
The present study aimed to satisfy a twofold purpose: On the one hand, it sought to verify the postulation that agent-based instruction could offer a compromise approach to teaching L2 idioms where form and meaning would be equally emphasized during instruction. Given that anthropomorphism has not been much under scrutiny, this research, on the other hand, sought to ascertain whether learning a...
متن کاملOptimal Placement of Capacitor Banks Using a New Modified Version of Teaching-Learning- Based Optimization Algorithm
Meta-heuristics optimization methods are important techniques for optimal design of the engineering systems. Numerous methods, inspired by different nature phenomena, have been introduced in the literature. A new modified version of Teaching-Learning-Based Optimization (TLBO) Algorithm is introduced in this paper. TLBO, as a parameter free algorithm, is based on the learning procedure of studen...
