E-learning in corporate training using interactive courses
2017
Master's thesis Multimedia and Educational Technology MM500 - University of Agder 2017 Health, safety, and environment (HSE) is an important term in industrial- and corporate context. A company focusing on their employees sharing the same values and attitudes regarding HSE can experience a working environment where employees feels safe, and perform their work without unnecessary risk-taking. There are often seen examples where HSE training relies on traditional classroom teaching, and keeps the focus on “do’s and “don’ts”, but the key to get employees to share a common goal on HSE, is to provide a deeper meaning for each employee on what this term actually mean. The purpose of this research…
Using the Tsetlin Machine to Learn Human-Interpretable Rules for High-Accuracy Text Categorization With Medical Applications
2019
Medical applications challenge today's text categorization techniques by demanding both high accuracy and ease-of-interpretation. Although deep learning has provided a leap ahead in accuracy, this leap comes at the sacrifice of interpretability. To address this accuracy-interpretability challenge, we here introduce, for the first time, a text categorization approach that leverages the recently introduced Tsetlin Machine. In all brevity, we represent the terms of a text as propositional variables. From these, we capture categories using simple propositional formulae, such as: if "rash" and "reaction" and "penicillin" then Allergy. The Tsetlin Machine learns these formulae from a labelled tex…
Biometric Fish Classification of Temperate Species Using Convolutional Neural Network with Squeeze-and-Excitation
2019
Our understanding and ability to effectively monitor and manage coastal ecosystems are severely limited by observation methods. Automatic recognition of species in natural environment is a promising tool which would revolutionize video and image analysis for a wide range of applications in marine ecology. However, classifying fish from images captured by underwater cameras is in general very challenging due to noise and illumination variations in water. Previous classification methods in the literature relies on filtering the images to separate the fish from the background or sharpening the images by removing background noise. This pre-filtering process may negatively impact the classificat…
Utvikling, testing og evaluering av en videobasert læringsressurs for selvstyrt bedriftsopplæring : En casestudie fra Posten Norge AS
2017
Masteroppgave Multimedia and Educational Technology MM500 - Universitetet i Agder 2017 Opplæring av ansatte er arbeidsgivers plikt og arbeidstakers rett, og er derfor en sentral del ved ethvert arbeidsforhold. Ansattes mulighet for utvikling og innflytelse i egen arbeidssituasjon har også vist seg å være fundamentale drivere for engasjement på arbeidsplassen. I samsvar med den teknologiske utviklingen muliggjør det for design av effektive læringsressurser som kan bidra med å tilgjengeliggjøre læringsmateriell, og på samme tid være med på å engasjere ansatte ved gjennomføring av bedriftsopplæring. I nåværende opplæringssituasjon i Posten Norge AS er det kun én metode for opplæring av postbud…

The differences between tutor and student perceptions of design elements in online courses
2017
Master's thesis Multimedia and Educational Technology MM500 - University of Agder 2017 The purpose of this study is to examine tutor and student perceptions of how design elements are implemented in online courses. The four elements collaboration, motivation, digital tools and course structure are discussed in an attempt to identify how various ways of implementing them can impact learning in an online environment. The study discusses how course tutors justify the use of the various elements, and then discusses students perceptions of how these elements impacted learning. The two online courses used in this research are SV-408 E-teaching 1 and MM-106 Nettkunnskap, which are part of a one ye…
Using Course Movie Trailers to Affect Intrinsic Motivation
2019
Master's thesis Multimedia and Educational Technology MM500 - University of Agder 2019 This master’s thesis investigates the connection between movie trailer emotions, suchas curiosity, inspiration, interest, and excitement and motivation in order to examine ifa course movie trailer can be utilized to affect students’ intrinsic motivation. Based onexisting theory and research in the field we hypothesised that: "Students who watch acourse movie trailer as a course introduction, will maintain their intrinsic motivationbetter over time, compared to students who attend a traditional course introduction." Totest this hypothesis, we created a course movie trailer in collaboration with the teacher…
Using Mobile Devices as a Supportive Tool to Engage and Interest Young Students in e-Health
2019
Master's thesis Multimedia and Educational Technology MM500 - University of Agder 2019 This thesis explores if mobile devices could be used as a supportive elementto engage and interest young students in e-health by developing a prototypeto handle simulations of e-health scenarios in a serious game setting. Theprototype was to be used as a supportive tool for the research projectHighSchool Students as Co-researchers in eHealth. An iterative design processwas deployed to develop the prototype, going through multiple steps periteration, focusing on design and development, testing, and evaluation. Theresults from all of the testing were examined, and compared with the researchquestions regardi…
Classics in the Cloud : A discussion of the problems of classical music and streaming
2017
Master's thesis Music Management MU501 - University of Agder 2017 Streaming services have become the main method of music consumption the last couple of years, and the classical audience have moved to the cloud as well. This paper aims to uncover some of the issues that classical consumers encounter while using streaming services, what the reasons may be that there are problems, and discussing possible solution to benefit either the connoisseur or the novice listener. It brings a topic there is little literature on into the light, and includes the niche genre, and possibly “the world's oldest” genre, into the academic discourse of the music industry today. My own experience with streaming c…
