the issue of entrepreneurial learning and entrepreneurs’ different learning methods are addressed to attract and empower young interested people to create and manage business activities. although learning has a crucial role in the process of entrepreneurship, entrepreneurs and researchers lack a comprehensive pattern for explaining learning in terms of sources, methods, as well as entrepreneurs...

Autonomous learning plays an important role in raising students’ learning effect and innovation ability in university education. An effective e-learning environment is indispensable in autonomous learning. This paper studies a web based e-learning system and examines students’ autonomous learning ability and perceptions of e-learning taking students at University of Jinan in China as an example...

This is a simulation-based contribution exploring a novel approach to the open-ended formation of multimodal representations in autonomous agents. In particular, we address the issue of transferring ("bootstrapping") feature selectivities between two modalities, from a previously learned or innate reference representation to a new induced representation. We demonstrate the potential of this alg...

The swift development of multimedia technology is further promoting the College English Teaching reform. College English autonomous learning model, based on a combination of student-centered teaching concept with multimedia technology, is one of the most important developing trends in the process of the reform. This paper discusses the difference of student’s autonomous learning ability between...

In the thesis we propose, we focus on equipping existing Reinforcement Learning algorithms with different kinds of safety constraints imposed on the exploration scheme. Common Reinforcement Learning algorithms are (sometimes implicitly) assumed to work in an ergodic1, or even “restartable” environment. However, these conditions are not achievable in field robotics, where the expensive robots ca...

Autonomous off-road navigation of robotic ground vehicles has important applications on Earth and in space exploration. Progress in this domain has been retarded by the limited lookahead range of 3-D sensors and by the difficulty of preprogramming systems to understand the traversability of the wide variety of terrain they can encounter. Enabling robots to learn from experience may alleviate bo...

We adopted a trans-contextual model of motivation to examine the processes by which school students’ perceived autonomy support (defined as students’ perceptions that their teachers’ support their autonomous or self-determined motivation) and autonomous forms of motivation (defined as motivation to act out of a sense of choice, ownership, and personal agency) toward mathematics activities in an...

Any curriculum is a construct of perceived social, political and economic needs developed at a point in time. Given that these needs are in a constant state of flux, the curriculum is subjected to periodical renewal and development processes. Gaining more visibility in the iterations of curriculum documentation is the need for Australians to be more aware of their activities impacting on the en...

We propose two distinct levels of learning for general autonomous intelligent agents. Level 1 consists of fixed architectural learning mechanisms that are innate and automatic. Level 2 consists of deliberate learning strategies that are controlled by the agent’s knowledge. We describe these levels and provide an example of their use in a task-learning agent. We also explore other potential leve...

Experiential learning is the process whereby knowledge is created through the transformation of experience. EL-based English learning is autonomous learning by nature which can be divided into six stages: experiencing, sharing, reflecting, theorizing, applying, and evaluating. This paper investigates the effective learning strategies applied in each stage, probes into the appropriate use of the...
