Many massive open online courses (MOOCs) offer mainly videobased lectures, which limits the opportunity for interactions and communications among students and instructors. Thus, the discussion forums of MOOC become indispensable in providing a platform for facilitating interactions and communications. In this research, discussion forum users who continually and actively participate in the forum...

The industrial domain is increasingly depending on the rapid technological advances, and to utilize it, new competencies will need to be acquired by the employees in order to strive towards innovation and business success. In this new context, under also the prism of globalization, the rules of competition are redefined, and competent labor is the deciding factor. Especially in fast-paced knowl...

One of the major challenges that the MOOCs must face is to provide learners with personalized learning paths. In this article we propose a model allowing the implementation of personalization in the context of MOOCs. Its purpose is to enable teachers and MOOCs designers to express their educational objectives in order to obtain an adaptation of the courses to everyone.

Video learning is becoming an increasingly important part of contemporary education. In the decade there has been an increase of many and diverse forms of research efforts on video learning. This paper focuses on the video learning research of the last years based on 166 peerreviewed published academic papers. A categorization is then derived from these papers, delineating some basic characteri...

Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) offer a great opportunity for learners to enjoy learning despite their location or timing. Nevertheless, motives vary between each student and another. In this workshop paper, we are delighted to open discussions on why undergraduates may enroll in their university’s MOOCs? Are they looking for ECTS points? Or do they want to build a stronger background in th...

In this paper the authors reported 2 cases of Sinus Histiocy-tosis . The first , an 11 year s o1d gir1 with massive 1ymphadnopathy of 10 CM diameter and 3 months duration otherwise normal. Paraclinic exams wer normal including BM. Diagnosis was confirmed by cervical node biopsy. She was followed clinically and was cured in 8 months. The second case, a 6 years old boy with massive cervical lymph...

Casimir forces of massive ferrnionic Dirac fields are calculated for parallel plates geometry in spatial space with dimension d and imposing bag model boundary conditions. It is shown that in the range of ma>>l where m is mass of fields quanta and a is the separation distance of the plates, it is equal to massive bosonic fields Casimir force for each degree of freedom. We argue this equalit...

  Aneurysms of gastric vessels (Dieulafoy`s disease, caliber-persistent artery) are thought to be of malformative rather than degenerative origin. They are usually single, located in the submucosa, usually on the lesser curvature, and characterized by a large tortuous vessel surmounted by a small defect...
