Virtual learning environments (VLEs) are computer-based online learning environments, which provide opportunities for online learners to learn at the time and location of their choosing, whilst allowing interactions and encounters with other online learners, as well as affording access to a wide range of resources. They have the capability of reaching learners in remote areas around the country...

Adaptation to their environment is a fundamental capability for living agents, from which autonomous robots could also benefit. This work proposes a connectionist architecture, DRAMA, for dynamic control and learning of autonomous robots. DRAMA stands for dynamical recurrent associative memory architecture. It is a time-delay recurrent neural network, using Hebbian update rules. It allows learn...

Learner autonomy has been regarded as an important value which is expected to be present in any English language students it can have positive effects on their learning. In Vietnam, the notion of learner attracted more attention, and various studies conducted teacher beliefs practices regarding over last decade. Nevertheless, not much evidence provided how EFL perceive practise autonomous learn...

According to [1] Americans drive approximately 3 billion miles per year. One way to increase the productivity of our society as a whole is to increase the speed with which people reach their intended destinations. Having an autonomous vehicle capable of high speed travel opens up new possibilities for fast travel by car. Control of a car at high speeds is a hard problem which has sparked compet...

This paper considers the role of metacognitive skills in the development of autonomous learners. This is done by considering the use of student cognitive profiles for constructing interfaces for interacting with learning environments. For the purposes of this study, a cognitive profile is considered to consist of measures of an individual’s cognitive style, learning style and personality. Stude...

This paper investigates learner-initiated responses to English language teachers’ referential questions and learner initiatives after teachers’ feedback moves in meaning-focused question-answer sequences to analyze how interactional practices of language teachers, their initiation and feedback moves, facilitate learner initiatives. Classroom discourse research has largely neglected learner init...

Contactless RF-based sensing techniques are emerging as a viable means for building gesture recognition systems. While promising, existing solutions have poor generalization ability when targeting new users, environments or device deployment. They also often require multiple pairs of transceivers and large number training samples each target domain. These limitations either lead to cross-domain...


 In recent years, violence among learners has escalated in many schools South Africa. This raised concern society on whether the measures put place to address problem works. For this reason, we set investigate cause and curb school two a disadvantaged community of Mabopane, Gauteng Province. We selected township setting as context our research. choice is informed by frequent occurrences h...
