of known algorithms will perform well, but the learner does not know which one. A simple and effective method, based on weighted voting, is introduced for constructing a compound algorithm in such a circumstance. We call this method the Weighted Majority Algorithm. We show that this algorithm is robust

Cognitive load theory has been designed to provide guidelines intended to assist in the presentation of information in a manner that encourages learner activities that optimize intellectual performance. The theory assumes a limited capacity working memory that includes partially independent

performance, initiatives to improve school planning and management, target setting, more frequent and thorough inspection; these are all means to the end. But the sum of all of these doesn’t add up to an effective policy because something is missing. Learning is driven by what teachers and pupils do

We propose a family of learning algorithms based on a new form of regularization that allows us to exploit the geometry of the marginal distribution. We focus on a semi-supervised framework that incorporates labeled and unlabeled data in a general-purpose learner. Some transductive graph learning

Problem Based Learning (PBL) is widely recognised as an effective way of learning. Studies suggest that an effective learning environment is one where “deep learning ” is fostered. This study briefly explores whether a particular form of PBL (practised by the Republic Polytechnic, Singapore

way to represent and deliver instruction. It cannot be argued that any given medium or attribute must be present in order for learning to occur, only that certain media and attributes are more efficient for certain learners, learning goals and tasks. This allows the discussion, and our mental set

Learner corpora can serve as a teaching resource for Foreign Language Teaching (FLT) and contribute empirical insights for Second Language Acquisition (SLA) research. To support effective querying for the specific classes of data which are relevant under the FLT and SLA perspectives, learner

This article describes learning with media as a complementary process within which representations are constructed and procedures performed, sometimes by the learner and sometimes by the medium. It reviews research on learning with books, television, computers, and multimedia environments
