Students from three colleges of Assam, India were considered in our research which their records were run on deep learning using sequential neural model and adam optimization method. The paper compared other classification methods such as Artificial Immune Recognition System v2.0 and Adaboost, to find out the prediction of the results of the students. The highest classification rate was 95.34% produced by the deep learning techniques. The Precision, Recall, F-Score, Accuracy, and Kappa Statistics Performance were calculated as a statistics decisions to find the best classification methods. The dataset used in this paper was 10140 student records. Directing the student for their future plan comes from discovering the hidden patterns by using Data Mining techniques.

An important example is that of the development of mobile apps which are suitably adapted for use by sensory-deprived people. We are involved in developing two such initiatives. The first offers interactive indoor navigation for blind and visually impaired persons, while the second offers deaf people a user-friendly environment for text depiction of the verbal speech, even when the articulation is defective, which is usually the case when the speaker is deaf. Despite the possible benefits of these apps, this does not necessarily signify automatic acceptance. This study aims to examine factors that may inhibit take up, in order to obviate these as much as possible. Factors contributing to the acceptance of technology may be complex, such as ‘perceived usefulness’, ‘self-efficacy’ and ‘social influence’. An exploratory study of this iss...

The sample of the research consisted of 459 students in the 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th grades of school in Athens, during the course of Computer Science. The study assessed the rate of knowledge change, attitude and willingness to change behavior too, driven by pre-post questionnaires, which were given both at the start and at the end of the implementation. The questionnaires are differentiated only in the four questions concerning willingness to change behavior. Initially, the related work on the use of DST, the contribution of learner-generated comics and the use of the specific tool of Pixton, were discussed. The key implication of the findings is that information from climate change lectures is obtained with the aid of DST. The latter is a great tool for teaching climate change issues and influences to some extent even the willingness to change in the future. Concerning the results, it is assumed that students cooperate more when learning is administered in a pleasant and interactive way. Success seems to take part due to the fact that students are given the possibility to be part of a learning experience creating their own content. Finally, the paper concludes with future guidelines in the field of other environmental issues such as recycling - reusing and energy.

In this paper we present an overview of the most representative studies of the last decade (2005-2015), which deal with the two important issues in the field of ICT's, music and special education. The studies chosen will be classified according to the areas of needs they serve.

In other words, it examines the uses of ICTs and EE that can be applied to the special needs’ students educational learning. The latter are separated into the following categories: a) Generic disabilities, b) Special learning disabilities and c) Sensory and Motor disabilities. Additionally, this study examines how environmental education and various ICT methodologies can assist special needs in participating children by facilitating their external perception. In order to propose supportive and pleasant educational settings robotics, multimedia, virtual and Augmented Reality are presented. Finally, suggestions for further use of a combined approach between ICT and EE are strongly recommended in the service of those with special needs’ profile
