There is a recent interest in the research of Lifelong Learning and other related kinds of learning (formal, non-formal and informal). Some projects have been held in order to propose frameworks for managing all these types of learning, giving special attention to the informal learning. The TRAILER project is one of them. It supports the identification and management of informal learning activi...

The paper focuses on the distance laboratory organisation for training the electrical engineering staff and students in the fields of electrical drive and power electronics. To support online knowledge acquisition and professional enhancement, new challenges in remote education based on an active learning approach with self-assessment have been emerged by the authors. Following the literature r...

objective(s): crocin influences many biological functions including memory and learning. the present study was aimed to investigate the effects of crocin on learning and memory impairments in streptozotocine-induced diabetic rats. materials and methods: diabetes was induced by intraperitoneal (ip) injection of streptozotocin (stz, 45 mg/kg). transfer latency (tl) paradigm in elevated plus-maze ...

Many students today utilize the internet to help them accomplish their learning goals. However, when they learn at home they are in total control and it is easy for them to visit websites not related to learning when they lose focus or are not motivated enough to learn. Observing affect further will help us understand the transitions between learning and non-learning activities when students le...

Designing adaptive learning activities, i.e. activities which provide learner-dependant variant learning experiences, is an inherently demanding pedagogical task. Designing adaptive elearning activities should not add disproportionate technical difficulties to the task. IMS-Learning Design purports to provide a pedagogically neutral and technically smooth environment for the design of education...

Contemporary classroom practices have evolved, and are continuing to evolve toward an emphasis on authentic learning activities. To a considerable degree, lectures and proscribed classroom exercises are being replaced with more open-ended, problem-based activities that are frequently carried out by groups of students (i.e., collaborative learning). We are investigating the use and assessment of...

Learning is predominantly contributed through the approach, “first interpsychology, and then intrapsychology” called “intraafter inter-psychology.” This learning method was also defined in the “Zone of Proximal Development” from the assistance provided by others to the self, as proposed by Vygotsky. In this study, another reverse learning approach, “first intrapsychology, and then interpsycholo...
