During the COVID-19 pandemic, when classroom instructions are interrupted, teachers and students approach digitalization become familiar with web conferencing. The present research aims to examine Algerian EFL students’ motivation about use of Zoom, as an asynchronous learning approach, help ‘bridge gaps’, cope changes they encounter while exploring online learning. As such, main questions that...

As the knowledge society matures, not only distant, but also off-line universities are trying to provide learners with on-line educational contents. Particularly, high effectiveness of mobile devices for e-Learning has been demonstrated by the university sector, which uses distant learning that is based on blended learning. In this paper, we analyzed previous m-Learning scenarios and future tec...

BACKGROUND Medical terms are a major obstacle for patients to comprehend their electronic health record (EHR) notes. Clinical natural language processing (NLP) systems that link EHR terms to lay terms or definitions allow patients to easily access helpful information when reading through their EHR notes, and have shown to improve patient EHR comprehension. However, high-quality lay language res...

In this paper is presented an empirical study and its results. The empirical study was designed through a pilot training program which was conducted in order to learn if Greek educators can learn to use and even adopt the use of web 2.0 tools and services in the educational process and in which extend, where the type of learning is either distant learning, blended learning or the learning takes...

A technique called Time Hopping is proposed for speeding up reinforcement learning algorithms. It is applicable to continuous optimization problems running in computer simulations. Making shortcuts in time by hopping between distant states combined with off-policy reinforcement learning allows the technique to maintain higher learning rate. Experiments on a simulated biped crawling robot confir...

During last decade, Internet and related web technology development enabled the arising of e-learning services and made distant learning a reality. As traditional face to face classroom became virtual classroom through Internet, traditional laboratories found their image in Electronic Laboratories (ELABs). These ones enable learners to train themselves on remote real or virtual systems. They re...

Complex cognitive processes require sophisticated local processing but also interactions between distant brain regions. It is therefore critical to be able to study distant interactions between local computations and the neural representations they act on. Here we report two anatomically and computationally distinct learning signals in lateral orbitofrontal cortex (lOFC) and the dopaminergic ve...
