Developing independent learners

Convergence of Independent Adaptive Learners

In this paper we analyze the convergence of independent adaptive learners in repeated games. We show that, in this class of games, independent adaptive learners converge to pure Nash equilibria in self play, if they exist, and to a best response strategy against stationary opponents. We discuss the relation between our result and convergence results of adaptive play [1]. The importance of our r...

The world of independent learners is not markovian

In multi-agent systems, the presence of learning agents can cause the environment to be non-Markovian from an agent’s perspective thus violating the property that traditional single-agent learning methods rely upon. This paper formalizes some known intuition about concurrently learning agents by providing formal conditions that make the environment non-Markovian from an independent (non-communi...

Developing Self-Regulated Learners Through an Intelligent Tutoring System

Intelligent tutoring systems have been developed to help students learn independently. However, students who are poor selfregulated learners often struggle to use these systems because they lack the skills necessary to learn independently. The field of psychology has extensively studied self-regulated learning and can provide strategies to improve learning, however few of these include the use ...

Learners' Acceptance of Learning Management Systems: Developing a theoretical framework

The use of information communication technology to build human resources is a vital prerequisite for the development of knowledge-based economy. Learning Management Systems (LMS) do not only provide academic institutions with effective and efficient means to build human resources but also enable them to efficiently and effectively codify and share their academic knowledge. The success of learni...
