The purpose of this thesis project is to create a proposal for a new e-learning program that would span the gap between the theoretical and real-world application of electrical theory as it relates to automotive direct current circuits. This proposed e-learning program will currently be focused on the subject of automotive direct current circuits, but is considered scalable for other subjects in the future. The application of this proposed e-learning program is to be used by learners as a resource to help deepen their knowledge through active learning and subject mastery. Active learning and subject mastery are be achieved by utilizing simulation and gamification as a means of engaging and motivating the learner. This will be accomplished within this proposed e-learning program by implementing the principles of Piaget’s Theory of Constructivism, Jerome Bruner’s Theory of Discovery Learning and Bloom & Carroll’s Theory of Mastery of Learning (Bates, 2016). This proposal also includes design mockups for the homepage, interactive activities, learning games and an assessment quiz. It is my intention to someday see this proposed e-learning program become a reality and be implemented for the future enhancement of education and the edification of learners.Related items

E-Learning: How Constructivist Learning Theory Guides Module LearningThis paper will review the theory behind constructivism and how it connects to module based e-learning. Social and cognitive constructivism have similar views, but they are very different. Constructivism calls for a student to learn based off of previous experiences and building on that knowledge to make new assumptions. People argue the effectiveness of module learning, but many find it to be the up and coming way of learning. Technology usage is getting greater and greater all the time so why not shift how we do education? e-learning is the way of the future. Learning modules utilizing learning management systems offer a direct route to both successful learning, but also connects to the theory around constructivism.

Evaluating Variant Deep Learning and Machine Learning Approaches for the Detection of Cyberattacks on the Next Generation 5G Systems5G technology promises to completely transform telecommunication networks, introducing a wealth of benefits such as faster download speeds, lower download times, low latency, high network capacity. These benefits will pave the way for additional new capabilities and support connectivity for applications like smart homes and cities, industrial automation, autonomous vehicles, telemedicine, and virtual/augmented reality. However, attackers use these resources in their advantages to speed up the attacking process. This report evaluates four different machine learning and deep learning approaches namely the Naïve Bayes model, the logistic regression model, the decision tree model, and the random forest model. The performance evaluation and the validation of these approaches are discussed in details in this report.

Using cooperative learning strategies to increase students' participation and positive learning outcomesThere is a need for high-quality education in Saudi Arabia for the next generation to equip them for facing the challenges of the developed world, and traditional learning techniques are unable to perform well. One of the most powerful ways to increase student participation in class is through the creation of a cooperative learning environment. Research into the general effectiveness of cooperative learning techniques suggests that cooperative learning is superior to traditional learning in terms of academic achievement. Many schools in the United States and other developed countries are effectively implementing cooperative learning techniques to increase students’ classroom participation and positive learning outcomes. This study was conducted during the summer of 2015 in Saudi Arabia. The participants of this study were 24 students in the fifth-grade. The research was at a school in Sulail City of the Riyadh. The selected model consisted of pre-test and post-test activities. A quantitative approach was used in this study to gather empirical evidence on the effectiveness of cooperative learning strategies in math class. The students were divided into two groups, the experimental group and the control group. Each student's participation was analyzed individually. All students were tested by the same pre-test and post-test. According to the results, there was an increase in the student participation and learning outcomes by the experimental group as compared to the control group. This research indicates the need for further development of teachers’ pedagogical skills in Saudi Arabia.
