E-Learning systems: promises and pitfalls.

Acad Psychiatry

Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Medicine, Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, USA.

Published: March 2007

Objective: This review examines the use of e-learning systems in psychiatric education.

Method: The authors review the Instructional System Design process, focusing on ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation). The authors also report on two representative teaching projects, discussing the planning, work, and assessment required.

Results: The basic operations of these education software systems are relatively easy to learn. The real work is the project preparation which precedes software use and final implementation.

Conclusions: Internet-based learning software is another tool in the educator's armamentarium. Educators must still utilize sound educational pedagogy to create effective learning instruments.

Multi-level cognitive state classification of learners using complex brain networks and interpretable machine learning.

Cogn Neurodyn

Identifying the cognitive state can help educators understand the evolving thought processes of learners, and it is important in promoting the development of higher-order thinking skills (HOTS). Cognitive neuroscience research identifies cognitive states by designing experimental tasks and recording electroencephalography (EEG) signals during task performance. However, most of the previous studies primarily concentrated on extracting features from individual channels in single-type tasks, ignoring the interconnection across channels.
