چکیده

Studies carried out in classroom-based learning context, have consistently shown a positive relation between students’ conscientiousness and their academic success. We hypothesize that time management and regularity are main constructing blocks of students’ conscientiousness in the context of online education. In online education, despite intuitive arguments supporting on-demand courses as more flexible delivery of knowledge, completion rate is higher in the courses with rigid temporal constraints and structure. In this study, we further investigate how students’ regularity affects their learning outcome in MOOCs. We propose several measures to quantify students regularity. We validate accuracy of these measures as predictors of students’ performance in the course.

How regular is neuronal activity?

We propose and investigate two information-based measures of statistical dispersion of neuronal firing: the entropy-based dispersion and Fisher information-based dispersion. The measures are compared with the standard deviation. Although the standard deviation is used routinely, we show, that it is not well suited to quantify some aspects of dispersion that are often expected intuitively, such ...

Various topological forms of Von Neumann regularity in Banach algebras

We study topological von Neumann regularity and principal von Neumann regularity of Banach algebras. Our main objective is comparing these two types of Banach algebras and some other known Banach algebras with one another. In particular, we show that the class of topologically von Neumann regular Banach algebras contains all $C^*$-algebras, group algebras of compact abelian groups and ...
