Life Long Learning

In our opinion learning is moving from pushing content to an individual into the integration of formal & informal learning, just in time help and coaching, and is highly adaptive. There is a way to improve how people, organizations, and institutions are learning and working together.

This paper proposes a new educational model for journalists focusing on specialized technical disciplines considering the needs and the challenges for continual lifelong learning of the professional on a competency-based formation. The investigation follows a documental methodology based on the observationparticipant to deepen in the specialized professional development of the journalist with a compromise in the upgrade in the technologies and new dynamics brought by the informative needs in specific disciplines.

Curriculum development" has recently been an issue at academic debates of increasing significance, particularly at higher maritime education and training. Curricula are the basic means through which goals and objectives are set. If the learners are to be well-equipped with such skills as reasoning, critical thinking, problem solving, information processing, independent working, and life long learning, curricula are to be

Abstract Global information society and knowledge-based economy will generate a need for life-long learning on a mass scale. To deal with this challenge, traditional education should be extended with new forms of learning and teaching by employing advanced technologies such as virtual and mixed reality. In order to provide learners with these forms of education, a wide range of VR-based interactive educational network services should be developed. Technologies for delivering such network services are already available. Currently, a ...

The main purpose of this study is comparing information literacy competencies between attendance students and virtual students. Methods: The research method is descriptive – survey. The statistical population was all virtual and attendance students of Tehran university. 327 attendance and 205 virtual students were selected by using the random categorization method based on kerjecie and morgan table.In order to collect data a researcher-made questionnaire was used. . The Validity of this tool was confirmed from five expertise points of view and its reliability was estimated as 0/89. Results:. Findings showed that the information literacy competencies of attendance and virtual students were appropriate.Conclusion: There was no significant difference between attendance and virtual students in information literacy competencies and their abilities are the same at 1) Determining the extent of information need. 2) Using information effectively to achieve a purpose 3) understanding legal and ethical aspects of information using 4) critical evaluating of information sources.

ABSTRACT This paper presents a novel neural-fuzzy network architecture named the evolving Mamdani-Takagi-Sugeno neural fuzzy inference system (eMTSFIS) that addresses two deficiencies faced by neural-fuzzy systems. Firstly, the dynamic nature of real-world problems demands that neural-fuzzy systems be able to adapt their parameters and evolve their rule-bases to address the time-varying characteristics of their operating environments. Secondly, in practice, having good fuzzy rule-base interpretability and high modeling accuracy are contradictory requirements and one usually prevails over the other based on the modeling objective and fuzzy rule structure employed. The proposed eMTSFIS model is able to achieve life-long learning as it evolves and adapts its knowledge to the dynamics of the underlying environment. This effectively addresses the stability-plasticity dilemma. Also, the proposed eMTSFIS model combines Mamdani and T-S fuzzy modeling approaches, coupled with a localized parameter learning approach, to achieve both improved interpretability and accuracy. Experimental results from two benchmark applications demonstrate the learning robustness and modeling versatility of the proposed eMTSFIS model. The results are encouraging.

Lifelong learning is a key issue for our knowledge society. With social software systems new heterogeneous kinds of technology enhanced informal learning are now available to the life-long learner. Learners outside of learning institutions now have access to powerful social communities of experts and peers who are together forging a new web 2.0. This paper reviews current work in pan-European initiatives that impact upon life-long learning via views of professional learning, learner competence and social networking. It seeks to ...

This paper discusses the results of a study of the requirements for developing a remote RF laboratory. This study draws on the perspectives of educators in university electrical engineering departments and in technical colleges, on the teaching of the radio frequency (RF) domain. The study investigates how these educators would like the technical content of a state of the art RF laboratory to be designed. As far as the authors know, no publication exists in the literature that investigates the requirements and needs of remote ...
