The paper describes a learner corpus of Czech, currently under development. The corpus captures Czech as used by nonnative speakers. We discuss its structure, the layered annotation of errors and the annotation process.

Learner autonomy has become the area of interest by many researchers of foreign language learning in the recent years. However, few studies have been done concerning the case of Kurdish learners` autonomy in learning languages. For this reason, the current study addresses this gap. It intends to investigate to what extent Kurdish learners are autonomous in learning English language. The study i...

Autonomous Mental Development (AMD) of robots opened a new paradigm for developing machine intelligence, using neural network type of techniques and it fundamentally changed the way an intelligent machine is developed from manual to autonomous. The work presented here is a part of SAIL (Self-Organizing Autonomous Incremental Learner) project which deals with autonomous development of humanoid r...

This study was carried out to examine the awareness and experiences of nursing students who learned through simulated practice with standardized patients, and to identify ways to include it in learner-centered nursing practice education. Data collection was carried out from September 2012 to June 2013, and was discontinued when data saturation was achieved. Thus, nine people participated in thi...

The purpose of this article is to build a model of interaction between the learner and the teacher, where the teacher performs the role of an Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS). If a teacher in the learning process is replaced with a computer system, it should be equipped with a system to adapt to the learner’s cognitive state. We studied factors that influence the learner’s perception of the in...

We propose a Topic Map based system to facilitate study at various levels. The objectives of this system are to help the learner recognize the structure of relevant knowledge, and to locate relevant learning objects (LOs) that help in overcoming conceptual difficulties at any given step. This system would use a graphical interface for the learner as a front end with Topic Map technology at the ...

This paper proposes an autonomous distributed algorithm that can construct spatial structures for clustering in mobile ad hoc networks. Since the topology of a mobile ad hoc network changes frequently, a fast, light-weight, and autonomous clustering mechanism is required. However, existing autonomous clustering mechanisms are based on differential equations and thus demand a lot of calculations...

In this article the accumulated results out of the effects and length of the manufacture and production projects in the university and research standard have been settled with the usefulness definition of the process of project management for the accessibility to the proportional pattern in the “time and action” stages. Studies show that many problems confronted by the researchers in these proj...
