An innovative school-based telehealth technology was introduced in Hawaii with the purposes of: (1) evaluating students for medical/developmental conditions with educational implications, (2) providing a professionally-monitored Internet-based system of learning/development, and (3) delivering medically-based physical and occupational therapy at the students school. Electronically recorded sati...

127 BACKGROUND The introduction of ICT into the educational system has re-defined teaching and learning processes or endeavours thereby giving rise to contemporary medium of learning termed “e-learning” (Agbonlahor, 2005). E-learning is an innovative approach for delivering electronically mediated, well-designed, learner-centred and interactive learning environments to anyone, in any place and ...

Abstract Deep learning (DL) is applied to simulate non-adiabatic molecular dynamics of phenanthrene, using the time-dependent density functional based tight binding (TD-DFTB) approach for excited states combined with mixed quantum–classical propagation. Reference calculations rely on Tully’s fewest-switches surface hopping (FSSH) algorithm coupled TD-DFTB, which provides electronic relaxation i...

The author of this paper addresses his recent experiences as he "crosses the chasm" from the traditional live classroom environment into the production and delivery of distance learning courses in the electronically-delivered class setting. Beginning with first reactions (and cautious resistance) to the emergence of "cyberschools" and college courses delivered via video tape and internet, he in...
