This article reviews and evaluates the concepts of the philosophical foundation of the organisational learning. Drawing on established literature in the field of organisational learning, the authors analyse learning from three perspectives - epistemological, ontological and sociological. They argue that how different internal and external phenomenon gives birth to the learning in organisation and how the organisation can benefit utilising them for the better management and productive engagement. The study concludes with some practical suggestions about how organisations can increase their ability to learn.

Assessment is at the heart of massive open online courses (MOOC) challenges. It is also a core component for any effective learning. In this paper, we provide a general survey of the various forms of assessment in MOOCs. Then, we propose gradual automated learners assessment based on ontology driven for auto-evaluation learning approach (ODALA) approach. Our proposition focuses on an assessment pyramid with four levels: Closed-ended questions, Half-open questions, Open-ended questions and problem solving (PS). This pyramid is the backbone of the learning process since it needs a gradual progression with an adequate methodology. Various computer aided or completely automated assessment activities are proposed. The transition from a level to another is a conditional one since there are minimal threshold of disciplinary knowledge acquisition. An evaluation prototype was tested with the Algorithmic discipline and was developed to access the feasibility of our proposition.

By classifying the errors that elementary school students have at the height of a triangle by the types and positions of a triangle and collecting data on eye movement, this study investigated whether developed contents have any effect on fixing these errors. The height of the contents of a triangle used were effective in connecting and confirming the concept definition and the concept image of the height of a triangle. However, the contents were ineffective in fixing the errors of the students who thought the segments which were of a length with the height could also be counted as the height of a triangle.

In the language transmission, a person shares different ways of own lexicons to others and each one is able to reproduce new lexicons through the old ones. Our objective is to explore how lexicons can be modified in synchronic or diachronic scenarios during the interaction of two different languages (L1 or L2) community agents. In this research, a new model has been proposed within language competition game strategy using bilingual agents. The outcome of shared lexicons in the synchronic scenario is that massive codes of second-language are affected and propagated into future generation successfully. Initially, we take matured agents who are stimulated by iterated learning model (ILM) and equipped with own grammar rules. Using Levenshtein Distance, these agents modify own old lexicons and generate new ones for the next generation. This game strategy is restricted to synchronic only and found that second language always wins this game.

The aim of the study is to examine the Impact of Student Attitude, Trust, Subjective Norm, Motivation and Rewards on Knowledge Sharing Attitude among University Students. Theoretical model of the study is based on theory of reasoned action (TRA). Furthermore, the study based on four independent and one dependent variables. Data was gathered from 350 university students of Karachi. The research instrument contains close ended question. The result was summarised and data was interpreted with the help of Smart Partial Least Squares-SEM. The results of the study show that student attitude, trust, subjective norm, motivation and rewards have a significant positive impact on knowledge exchange behaviour between university students. On the basis of result, we can say that student attitude is not only the factors that have an impact on knowledge sharing behaviour of students but other elements also matter. Therefore, students need motivation, trust factor and perceived behaviour that lead the knowledge sharing attitude between them.

The current paper presents our research regarding differences between massive open online course (MOOC) users and non-users. Extant literature, mostly in the Western and also Chinese contexts, has evidence regarding the demographic profiles of MOOC users. Limiting our research to the Indian context, we attempted to study MOOC-users and non-users using self-reported survey data. Our descriptive analysis allowed us to characterise the user base at micro-level and to find significant differences between users and non-users - among other things, age, education, general online efficacy, communicative online efficacy and self-directed learning preference emerge as significant distinguishers. These findings are on expected lines and in practical terms highlight some of the learner-level characteristics and capabilities that facilitate adoption of online learning through MOOCs in a developing country like India.

E-learning, an important internet-based tool can be implemented using communication methods and storage media that support different data types. As a virtual learning environment, e-learning has emerged in the field of higher education in countries throughout the world, including Jordan, a developing country. To evaluate the effectiveness of the e-learning program implemented in Jordan, a sample study is presented in this paper to examine the students' perceptions and attitudes related to the courses offered at the Faculty of Information Technology in Zarqa University. This study aims to evaluate the students' satisfaction and measure the influence of using an e-learning system (Moodle) on their achievements. Statistical analysis showed that the use of e-learning technology had a major effect on the students' achievements.

There exist many traditional spatial image classification techniques which are developed over past years and exists in literature. Today, expert systems along with machine learning methods are getting universality in this area due to effective classification. This paper presents Rough set based support vector machine (SVM) classification (RS-SVM) method. In this technique, Rough set (RS) is used as a feature selection mathematical tool which eliminates the redundant features. Further, this reduced dimensionality dataset is given to SVM classifier. This process improves the classification accuracy and performance. We have performed experiments using standard geospatial images for above-proposed method for classification.

In the changing present competitive scenario, intelligent development of question model is indispensable for intellectual growth of students. There are several computer-based question paper generators, but they typically use random selection from question banks. This paper deals with the adaptive question bank development and management system (AQBDMS) that aims to generate balanced combinations of questions intelligently as per parameters provided by the question paper designer (QPD). AQBDMS uses a concept map developed on a graph database that uses hierarchical knowledge of a particular domain for fetching questions generated in former part. The concept map ensures that the question modelling process is based on certain criteria like Bloom's taxonomy, difficulty level, marking scheme etc. The evaluation of generated question model will provide a feedback to check student's overall level of understanding. On whole, the proposed system would be of great aid to the organisation in effective question modelling and its assessment.

The purpose of this study is to explore how the variables of the theory of planned behaviour and motivation and ability model affect the intention to become an entrepreneur among business university students. For this purpose, data were collected from 267 students of different business schools of Pakistan. PLS-SEM was used as a statistical tool to analyse the data. The result revealed that the variables, i.e., Subjective norm, opportunity, attitude, perceived behavioural control has a positive and significant effect on the motivation, and motivation also has a significant positive effect on the students' intention to become an entrepreneur, however, ability has a positive but insignificant on motivation. From this study it can be concluded that the only financial resources are not enough to start a business, behavioural factors also play the critical role. This research gives valuable insights for the policy implications.
