Adaptive Micro Learning - Using Fragmented Time To Learn

This compendium introduces an artificial intelligence-supported solution to realize adaptive micro learning over open education resource (OER). The advantages of cloud computing and big data are leveraged to promote the categorization and customization of OERs micro learning context. For a micro-learning service, OERs are tailored into fragmented pieces to be consumed within shorter time frames.Firstly, the current status of mobile-learning, micro-learning, and OERs are described. Then, the significances and challenges of Micro Learning as a Service (MLaaS) are discussed. A framework of a service-oriented system is provided, which adopts both online and offline computation domain to work in conjunction to improve the performance of learning resource adaptation.In addition, a comprehensive learner model and a knowledge base is prepared to semantically profile the learners and learning resource. The novel delivery and access mode of OERs suffers from the cold start problem because of the shortage of already-known learner information versus the continuously released new micro OERs. This unique volume provides an excellent feasible algorithmic solution to overcome the cold start problem.

Futureproofing Engineering Education for Global Responsibility

This book contains papers in the fields of: Virtual and augmented learning. Games in engineering education. Social aspects of digitalization. Technical teacher training. Accessible learning and technologies. Dance of data in educational science and practice. Engineering education for production and service structures of the future. Innovative approaches to STEAM education and music therapy through emerging technologies. We are currently witnessing a significant transformation in the development of education on all levels and especially in post-secondary and higher education. To face these challenges, higher education must find innovative and effective ways to respond in a proper way. Changes have been made in the way we teach and learn, including the massive use of new means of communication, such as videoconferencing and other technological tools.
