Modeling MOOC learnflow with Petri net extensions
Modern higher education takes advantage of MOOC technology. Modeling an education process of Massive open online courses (MOOCs) as a dynamic and multi-agent process is one of the challenging tasks. In this paper, Petri net extensions are investigated in the context of the learnflow modeling. It is shown how a learnflow can be modeled with classical and Colored Petri nets. These extensions facilitate modeling distributed and multi-agent processes. However, existing Petri net extensions do not provide the ability to model an education process in the context of multi-course programs and adaptive learning. We propose Petri nets with reference data (PNRDs) for modeling e-learning in MOOCs. PNRDs allow us to represent a model of the education process in a visual, clear and not overloaded form. Moreover, PNRDs enable us to display aspects of multi-course programs and dynamic changes in the MOOC education process. We also show how PNRDs can be used to model online student collaboration in project-based learning.

Introduction. The article presents a systematic review of psychological research focusing on metacognitive regulation of learning effectiveness through digital educational technologies (DET). Digital technologies are often used in education. Over the past years, self-regulated learning, i.e., the practice of using digital technologies to manage learning activities, has been gaining momentum. However, the specifics of such ...

A noncommutative projective variety is defined, following Artin and Zhang, by a graded coherent algebra 𝐴. The category of coherent sheaves is then the quotient qgr(𝐴) of the category of finitely presented graded modules by the subcategory of torsion modules. We consider the categorical and polynomial entropies of the Serre twist, that is, of the ...

If a symmetric multilinear algebra is weakly nil, then it is Engel. This result may be regarded as an infinite-dimensional analogue of the well-known Jacobian theorem, which states that if a polynomial mapping has a polynomial inverse, then its Jacobian matrix is invertible. This refines a theorem of Gerstenhaber and partially answers a question posed ...

Comprehensive data on natural hazards and their consequences are crucial for effective for risk assessment, adaptation planning, and emergency response. However, many countries face challenges with fragmented, inconsistent, and inaccessible data, particularly regarding local-scale events. To address this data gap in Russia, we developed an end-to-end processing pipeline that scrapes news from various online sources, ...

We investigate the spatial overlap of successive spin configurations in Markov chain Monte Carlo simulations using the local Metropolis algorithm and the Svendsen-Wang and Wolff cluster algorithms. We examine the dynamics of these algorithms for two models in different universality classes: the Ising model and the Potts model with three components. The overlap of two ...

Label prediction in neural networks (NNs) has O(n) complexity proportional to the number of classes. This holds true for classification using fully connected layers and cosine similarity with some set of class prototypes. In this paper we show that if NN latent space (LS) geometry is known and possesses specific properties, label prediction complexity can ...

Community detection in complex networks is a fundamental problem, open to new approaches in various scientific settings. We introduce a novel community detection method, based on Ricci flow on graphs.

Transport coding reduces message delay in packet-switched networks by introducing controlled redundancy at the transport layer: original packets are encoded into coded packets, and the message is reconstructed after the first successful deliveries, effectively shifting latency from the maximum packet delay to the -th order statistic. We present a concise, reproducible discrete-event implementation of transport coding in OMNeT++, including ...

Accurate segmentation of blood vessels in brain magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) is essential for successful surgical procedures, such as aneurysm repair or bypass surgery. Currently, annotation is primarily performed through manual segmentation or classical methods, such as the Frangi filter, which often lack sufficient accuracy.

Object-centric processes have become increasingly popular in the last years mainly due to the establishment of object-centric process mining. One of the most popular formalisms for describing lifecycles of objects and capturing relationships between them are object-centric Petri nets.
