  2. 2. Effective learning in higher education post-covid_final version.

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för data- och systemvetenskap

    Author : Maria Maofi; [2023]
    Keywords : Online learning; Digital transformation; Post covid-19 effect; Next generation e-learning platform; Higher Education;

    Abstract : The emergence of moving learning activities online, due to Covid-19 pandemic preventive measures and fast growing technology, forced many educational institutions to design and prepare their distance learning systems on time, without adopting the best practices for an effective and holistic digital transformation. This fact highlights the need of reconsidering the models in online learning and redesigning the learning processes to meet students e-learning needs and receive a more qualitative educational experience.

    Author : Adam Ekelöf; Eric Sandberg; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This research paper investigates whether neuromorphic hardware can outperform the traditional GPU in simulating disease spread. As the era of Moore’s Law draws to a close, researchers are seeking alternative solutions to enhance computational power. READ MORE

  4. 4. An Empirical Investigation of The Effect of Proxy Response and The Merits of Its Remedial Measures

    University essay from Högskolan Dalarna/Institutionen för information och teknik

    Author : Charles Edward Okon; Randi Kalanika Assalaarachchi; [2023]
    Keywords : missing data; proxy response; missingness mechanism; error-in-variable; logistic regression; Monte-Carlo simulation; missing at random; complete case analysis; proxy substitution; multiple imputation; inverse probability treatment weighting;

    Abstract : In the event of missing data, substitution of data from proxy sources are usually considered a very useful alternative when available to avoid the problem of missingness. Nonetheless, research has also shown that this approach often induces “response bias”. READ MORE
