Machine learning review             Machine learning represents a significant paradigm shift in the way human kind consume the internet. This emerging component of Artificial intelligence promises to reliably utilize the momentous data that is readily available online to enhance efficiency in a wide range of socio-economic sectors. Machine learning basically refers to an Artificial intelligence application that presents computer systems with the ability to autonomously learn and adjust appropriately in volatile environmental settings through experience without any unequivocal programming.  This review focuses on two key works of literature by Murphy, (2012) and Jordan & Mitchell, (2015 p. 255-260) that provide informed insights on the topic of machine learning. Consequently the paper examines these works in their separate conceptual representation of the topic of machine learning. This review wishes to develop an understanding of the various existing perspectives, notions and ideas on machine learning. Accordingly, the book by Jordan & Mitchell, (2015 p.255-260) presents various trends, perspectives and prospects in machine learning while the book by Murphy, (2012) addresses a single perceptive with regards to the development of the enhanced computer…

role of artificial intelligence in enhancing learning Studies have focused on different areas of artificial intelligence since its inception. Recent research has explored the role of artificial intelligence in enhancing learning, with some studies evaluating if social robots can improve learning among children. Shiomi et al. (2015), for instance, explored whether social robots can arouse scientific interest in classrooms.  By interacting with Robovie, a social robot, many children asked the robot scientific questions, but there was no significant stimulation of scientific curiosity among the children participants.  Komatsubara (2014) investigated if social robots can enhance scientific knowledge among children in classrooms. A robot was installed in an elementary school where children could interact with it and take questions from it.  The findings of the study showed that the robot did not produce significant improvement in understanding science among children. Kanero (2018) reviewed studies about the interaction between children and robots to identify how social robots can be used to improve language learning. The research concluded that social robots are fruitful in teaching language in children but are not as productive as…

The use of flipped learning Introduction Flipped classroom teaching has turned out to be a significant trend in recent years in the education sector, though there remain substantial challenges while persuading some teachers to adopt the method. The increasing approach referred to as flipped learning has increased the attention of policymakers and educators, especially in the university of Hong Kong, to implement flipped classroom teaching enthusiastically, and they have encouraged the method to be used. However, He et al. (2016) argued that the essence of using flipped learning is purposely for stage learning on new materials before the start of class and freeing up the time in class for more practice, explanation, and production use of knowledge. In my opinion, I do agree with He et al. (2016) argument, but the flipped classroom gives a way of altering the traditional pattern of teaching and learning. Again, with faculty posting their class lecture materials online for students to read so that they may use class time for problem-solving, hand-on application and assessment are much more precise. According to He et al.…

  Technology in the learning institution                                                           Introduction The use of communication and information technology devices among students in universities is a sort of addiction. Most students in universities always tend to be using their phones as lectures are going on in universities. The handling of technology devices in the university classroom has both positive and negative impacts. Technology in university Technology devices help solve tedious tasks. Technology devices help to solve tedious tasks very quickly. With reliable university Wi-Fi, it is easy to stream and get solutions to assignments from the internet. The only way a student can access the internet while in the classroom is by using his phone or laptop.  An added advantage of using technology is some of the updated information not found in the books is on the websites. (“8 High-Tech Gadgets That Are Making Classrooms Smarter,” n.d.) Addiction of students relying on the internet to handle their assignments is not always the best idea. Some of the documents students use as a point of reference are blogs created by bloggers to have followers following their…

 learning  and a no learning institution Training and development is part of human resource whose objectives is to improve the performance of groups and individuals (Swanson & Holton, 2009). Training is a learning process that involves improving the skills and knowledge of employees. Trained employees will eventually improve the overall performance of an organization. An organization that invests in training records increased performance because the employee’s morale and motivation have increased and there will be low labor turnover. The training process involves identifying the needs, establishing objectives, selection of training methods, conducting and delivering training and evaluation of performance. Training is meant to add additional skills, while the development objective is to develop the overall personality of an individual (Mattox, 2016). There are benefits and costs of training and development. The benefit will include the increased performance of an individual or group and cons will include costs associated with training and development incurred by an organization. The paper seeks to compare and contrast; learning  and a no learning institution.  Learning institution conducts a thorough training and development, while a no…

 learning techniques I adopt various learning techniques that enable all students, including those with disabilities and pupils that encounter different challenges such as dyslexia, to feel included in my class. The approaches also allow them to achieve improved results with desirable grades and are also able to develop their learning capabilities. For instance, I have planned to assist the dyslexic children with “short” memory in my lesson plan in acquiring listening, writing, reading, and pronunciation skills, by providing examples with wild animals such as tigers and wolves, which will attract their attention. The dyslexic students will create imagery of the animals, which will enable them to understand and learn more vocabulary. I also adopt a variety of games and activities that require the pupils to cooperate and perform together, which ensures that all students have interacted with others. Such situations enable every child to contribute to the topic or activity and feel appreciated by others in the class, thus allowing him to develop. I have included repetition in various learning materials such as charts and notes, which will enable the…

Overall Value of Learning Styles Question 1 Preferred Learning Style Summary Williams took the VARK questionnaire (2018), and it was indicated that her learning style is kinesthetic, which recommends that kinesthetic learners give priority to experience real things even if they are demonstrated visually through images or displays. By encountering actual things, including hands-on experiences, engaging in practical experiences, and guessing when learning. VARK questionnaire (2018) recommends that kinesthetic learners will reap benefits by using senses, laboratories, and hands-on experiences to encounter trial and error and listen to lectures that offer actual scenarios that might be significant to retain details. Also, kinesthetic learners tend to derive lessons when they obtain the actual things that occurred or when scenarios are used into a summary. During learning, it is essential that the kinesthetic learners use photos to get a clue of the topic, remember the experiences, go on trips to assist revive memories, and engage in experiments (VARK questionnaire, 2018). It is essential to use the actual examples and discover the kinesthetic individual to review the notes. Finally, the VARK questionnaire (2018)…

Learning Log Learning Log #1 – Set one goal for yourself for this semester. It does not need to be related to your performance in this or any other class. Briefly describe your goal and how you plan to achieve it. My goal is to be an engineer. For me to accomplish this I must often be mindful of the following aspects; Taking the first step Writing my goals down Working on my mentality Developing my skillset Rewarding myself Setting a deadline for everything I do Continuing to the conclusion so I can see my achievements. I plan to achieve this goal by making a decision on what I wish to achieve, which is an essential part of goal achievement. So, I will set my intent by writing it down somewhere, so that I am always mindful of it. The above-listed aspects will guide me towards accomplishing my set goals if I follow them to the latter. Learning Log #2 – Reflect on the relationship between design and structural demand. How do you determine the “maximum” load on a structure?…

You will now think of some real-life applications for statistical learning. Classification is essential as it can be applied in real applications in several cases. The first real-life application is the stock market price direction. The goal of this application is prediction. The response is up, down, input: previous price movement % change, two previous day price movement % change. It helps in providing better directions on the market price. The second real-life application is illness classification. The goal of this application is a reference. The response is that the ill, healthy, input, resting heart rate, resting breach rate, mile run time. This aspect is classified in the best to ensure that a particular study and findings are made from the illness classification. The third real-life application is car part replacement. In this application, its goals are in prediction. The response is required to be replaced, good, input, age of part, mileage utilized from current amperage. There are three real-life applications in which regression might be useful. The first real-life application is in C.E.O’s salary. The goal of this application…

Reflection on Learning what to Learn Acquiring and utilizing learned information is one of the abilities and skills that enable humans to adapt and survive in the current environment. Learning is a lifelong process; as such, I conquer with Rachel Wu (2019) that efforts need to be placed to ensure that only relevant information is learned to avert possible wastage of time and energy. Knowing what to learn or ignore is crucial as it enables people to understand the main goals of learning. With this understanding, they can channel all efforts to ensure that they acquire the needed information. According to the author, there are at least methods which can enable people to learn what is necessary, while leaving out the irrelevant knowledge (Wu 392). These different methods can be applied to all age groups, but some are very effective when used in particular stages of human lives. Learning from stimulus characteristics is particularly useful in infants. It mainly entails learning by observing similarities in events or patterns. I consider knowing what to learn by stimulus characteristics to be the…
