This paper suggests that recent changes in higher education, the demands of the knowledge society and an increased need for students to become autonomous, reflective e-learners increases the need for academics to understand the learning process. In order to understand e-learning, teachers need to understand learning as e-learning is embedded in learning. Without an understanding of what learnin...

There were both high expectancies that technology could revolutionize education as well as divergent voices that doubted the real impact of technology on learning. This paper presents an evaluation of the...

We study the interaction between polynomial space randomness and a fundamental result of analysis, the Lebesgue differentiation theorem. We generalize Ko’s framework for polynomial space computability in R to define weakly pspace-random points, a new variant of polynomial space randomness. We show that the Lebesgue differentiation theorem characterizes weakly pspace random points. That is, a po...

knowledge society as a space originated from promotion of the (explicit/implicit) social knowledge, and information society as a space to have access to information are two societies complete each other. libraries (in a vast meaning), because of their efforts to collect and store the produced knowledge, contribute in promoting the knowledge society; and as spaces make the information access abl...

We study the interaction between polynomial space randomness and a fundamental result of analysis, the Lebesgue differentiation theorem. We generalize Ko’s framework for polynomial space computability in Rn to define weakly pspace-random points, a new variant of polynomial space randomness. We show that the Lebesgue differentiation theorem holds for every weakly pspace-random point.

This paper addresses the question of how, in a futures context derived from perspectives surrounding clinical genetics, prenatal diagnosis and disability advocacy, there is a requirement for a third moral space. Just what this requirement is, and some of the reasons for it, shall be discussed here. In order to ground the paper in the current situation, attention is drawn, firstly to a chapter i...

Knowledge communication is an emerging means of understanding the individual processes involved in constructing and passing knowledge from person to person. Knowledge communication works together with technical communication in the knowledge society. The concept of knowledge communication compliments technical communication by allowing for the interpersonal aspects of knowledge creation and dif...

We investigate the asymptotic version of the Erdős-Ko-Rado theorem for the random kuniform hypergraph H(n, p). For 2 ≤ k(n) ≤ n/2, let N = ( n k ) and D = ( n−k k ) . We show that with probability tending to 1 as n→∞, the largest intersecting subhypergraph of H(n, p) has size (1 + o(1))p k nN , for any p n k ln 2 ( n k ) D−1. This lower bound on p is asymptotically best possible for k = Θ(n). F...
