discussion of computer-based learning environments‚ we have found it useful to describe learning using a framework of three mutually constitutive elements based on these factors which represent the actions and activities of the different elements in the learning process: the learner‚ the teacher and the learning materials [Herrington & Oliver‚ 1996]. This framework of three elements provides a useful form for considering factors influencing instruction and learning in computer-based environments. It

COGNITIVE COMPUTING- IBM WATSON The term cognitive computing has been used to refer to new hardware and/or software that mimic the functioning of the human brain. Like a human‚ a cognitive computing application learns by experience and/or instruction. The CC application learns and remembers how to adapt its content displays‚ by situation‚ to influence behaviour. This means a CC application must have intent‚ memory‚ foreknowledge and cognitive reasoning for a domain of variable situations. Cognitive-based
