The ability of Baboons (papio papio) to distinguish between English words and nonwords has been modeled using a deep learning convolutional network model that simulates a ventral pathway in which lexical representations of different granularity develop. However, given that pigeons (columba livia), whose brain morphology is drastically different, can also be trained to distinguish between Englis...

Information technology is an integral part of daily life in many domains, including communication, computing, entertainment, and education. However, despite its pervasiveness, digitalization in various purposes and application in many human-based activities, it still plays the role of assisting and supporting people in manipulating and acquiring information. This study developed a ubiquitous le...

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In the knowledge economy, a firm’s intellectual capital represents the only sustainable source of competitive advantage; accordingly, the ability to learn, and to manage the learning process are key success factors for firms. The knowledge management approach to learning in organizations has achieved limited success, primarily because it has focused on knowledge as a resource ...

Dynamic assessment (DA) which is rooted in Vygotsky’s (1978) sociocultural theory involves the integration of instruction and assessment in a dialectical way to achieve two main purposes: enhancing learners' development and understanding about their learning potential. However, the feasibility and appropriateness of mediation are two main concerns of DA. The former is concerned with the applica...

E-learning technologies have extensively been adopted by institutions, such as universities and schools, either as facilitators to traditional teaching methods or as autonomous ones. Teaching material and methods have accordingly been developed for many academic disciplines, especially within the computer science. Since students of computing schools and departments are the most familiar with re...
