This concern is addressed in this article by steering randomized experimentation on undergraduate students. This study examines the effectiveness of various user interfaces of mobile devices on the M-learning attitude and perception of undergraduates registered in a graphic design course at a public learning institution. Students took part in three consecutive study sessions. A session comprising a demonstration of the perception of M-learning and an outline of associated mobile applications with their primary course of graphic technologies was organized delineating the scope and functionality for Mobile learning in the line of instruction of 2D and 3D Design at the university level. It was assumed that M-learning with iPad could lead to identical learning attitudes and perceptions among students as that by using an Android tablet, but students were found to have an enhanced learning attitude towards M-learning with iPad as compared to a tablet. Mlearning can lead to the modeling and progression of mobile-based instructive curricula. This article aimed to provide several recommendations regarding improving the usability of the applications and enhancing readers' knowledge to enable future researchers to identify the emerging practices of mobile learning.

According to Jeong and So (2020), there seems to be inadequate empirical evidence from extensive research to support its learning effectiveness in the fitness domain, especially among women who have been underrepresented in economically stressed areas. One of the several explanations for this disparity is the failure to consider women’s intersecting cultural identities or potential for social impact. This paper focuses on addressing this issue by conducting a qualitative study. It involves a focus group comprising 15 adult females aged 24 and above. The primary objective is to assess how virtual learning influences the learning perception of adult female learners at a yoga and fitness studio. Interactive self-paced mobile-assisted learning modules were facilitated through the use of mobile phones. An open-ended questionnaire was designed using online resources for primary data collection. The findings were derived by cross-referencing data collected from recordings, interviews, and questionnaires. The study revealed that participating in online fitness classes could enhance women's involvement in fitness-related activities.

The dramatic and radicle changes proposed by school mission and visions, systems, and pedagogy as set by educators, policymakers, and business makers are deemed essential to ensure a vibrant and sustainable global community where school principals are required to step out from behind their managerial desks and enter to a facilitative and contributive role in guiding and directing instructional changes in schools across the country through diverse modes of instruction delivery. The key objective of this article is to promote educational leadership and change through teachers and principals who can impact student engagement in the 21 st century through mobile technology. In the methodology section, equitable allocation of resources was emphasized to promote digital literacy, instructional progress was measured for fostering a culture of collaboration around instructional development, and teachers were encouraged to collaborate on their specialized learning for instructional improvement. Instructors and leaders as a result could learn and practice the necessary technical, leadership, and managerial skills to be participants in a vibrant democracy while ensuring that members work as a group to meet the learning needs of each student.

These discrepancies can be attributed to some extent to cultural factors which prevents the racial minorities from entering or persisting in the lucrative fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Comprehending the potency of Culturally Responsive Teaching (CRT), some major technology enrichment programs reformed the Computer Responsive Pedagogy (CRP) principals to incorporate a Culturally Responsive Computing (CRC) environment for the subjugated class. Culturally responsive computing (CRC) needs to be re-conceptualized as an exploratory change agent in intersectionality, innovation and community advancement through techno-social engagement by regulating existing programmatic, theoretical and methodological doctrines.

This paper highlights the components, the architecture, the role of knowledge base and pattern of knowledge representation in a typical expert system. MYCIN and its components are also analyzed in this paper. Fuzzy logic is a viable and practical form of machine intelligence that has been especially successful in designing expert systems dealing with imprecise data. Majority of the Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in operation today are dependent on a remote human pilot. Higher degree of autonomy provides savings in cost and operational resources and increases safety. However, the challenges involved in making such unique autonomous system, has reasoning and decision-making capabilities analogous to a human pilot. All this is acquired through the developments in fuzzy logic. Fuzzy logic has also penetrated the process of ensuring safety in exploration of crude oil and gas, in detecting the insulation pattern of electronic equipments, monitoring aircraft engine performance and in many such allied fields. The latest developments in expert systems and fuzzy logic have served in generating a billion-dollar business in Mobile learning world by using algorithms for recognizing patterns of learning speed and time. The system then regulates the Mobile learning content by providing needed information to learners. This in turn helps as a tool by teachers to form data driven decisions in response to student needs.
