The extent that virtual learning environments (VLEs) enhance traditional face to face teaching in higher education is in itself a very complex issue‚ since most of the universities across the world intend to upgrade their teaching facilities to be more state of the art. The Joint Information Systems Committee JISC (2007‚ citied in Maltby & Mackie 2009:49) defines a VLE as a set of components in which learners and tutors participate in ‘online’ interactions of various kinds‚ including online learning

Are faces special? Critically evaluate the evidence that we have evolved a specialised neural network dedicated to processing faces. Brian Marron‚ 11461992‚ SF TSM. INTRODUCTION Processing faces is extremely important to humans as social beings. We are able to put and identity on thousands of faces (Gazzaniga‚ 2002) with ease‚ something we might take for granted.

there has been a lot of speculation as to whether face processing is a special process. Some of the issues involved in face recognition are the same as for recognising any other possible object‚ other issues seem to be unique to just face recognition. The question remaining‚ is if the brain’s most efficient solution is to have special mechanisms for face recognition‚ or to simply extend the abilities of existing object recognition mechanisms. Faces are surely special in a lot of phenomena‚ you can

Face validity‚ from my understanding‚ is testing validity based on how the results are going to measure without actually conducting the test. In other words‚ face validity is based on what is supposed to be than what is actual. According to the website Explorable.com‚ face validity is a basic measure and the subject‚ who usually is not an expert‚ has input about the test (Shuttleworth‚ 2009‚ para. 5). Content validity‚ on the other hand‚ is similar to face validity but differs in the way the results
