Recently, Massive Open Online Courses have become sensational in the field of distance learning. There is a plethora of advantages being listed in learning through MOOCs but this pedagogy lacks in few areas when compared with traditional classes. One of those inabilities of MOOC is its support to prepare the students for laboratory-based courses. The authors of this study chose a MOOC course that teaches Digital Photography and created an Augmented Reality (AR) experience for a module that explains the different parts of a digital camera. The 2 nd year Multimedia students of Vellore Institute of Technology have been asked to experience the MOOC video followed by the AR experience. Their feedbacks before and after the AR experience has been statistically tested and reported. The results revealed that the students feel more confident and concentrate more when the instructional video was given as an AR experience. This study suggests that AR integrated MOOC modules might help in training students better for practice-based courses.

On a global scale, one of the prevalent causes of dementia is Alzheimer’s disease (AD). It will cause a steady deterioration in the individual from the mild stage to the severe stage, and thus impair their capacity to finish any tasks with no aid. The diagnosis is done with the utilization of existing methods which include medical history; neuropsychological testing as well as MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), a lack of sensitivity as well as precision does affect the consistency of efficient procedures. With the deep learning network’s utilization, it is possible to create a framework for detecting specific AD characteristics from the MRI images. While automatic diagnosis is done with the application of diverse machine learning techniques, the existing ones do suffer from certain constraints with regards to accuracy. Thus, this work’s key goal is to increase the classification’s accuracy through the inclusion of a pre-processing approach prior to the deep learning model. The Alzheimer's disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) database of AD patients was used to develop a deep learning approach for AD identification. In addition, this study will present ideas for Haralick features, feature extraction from Local Binary Pattern (LBP), Artificial Neural Network (ANN), and Visual Geometry Group (VGG)-19 network techniques. The results of the experiments show that the deep learners offered are more effective than other systems already in use.

This research, in line with the strategy of the World Customs Organization, order to provide a structural model for improving the ethics and administrative health of employees based on the use of information technology in customs affairs with a combined approach of fundamental theory and interpretive structural modeling to understand how information technology affects ethics and Administrative health and investigating the power of influence and the degree of dependence of the variables of ethics and administrative health of employees in the form of drawing a comprehensive structuring model. In the implementation of this research, a mixed method was used in the qualitative part of the foundation's data theory according to the research needs and structured interviews were used to collect data. To collect data in a qualitative method, with the help of Maxqda software, research findings through the opinions of 13 experts in three stages of open-centered and selective coding in the form of 6 categories affecting the ethics and administrative health of employees in the form of the Strauss paradigm model and Corbin and it was expressed theoretically. After building the theory, in the quantitative stage, interpretive structural modeling has been used in order to understand the relationship between the variables and the leveling of the promotion of ethics and administrative health of Iran Customs. The results of the research show that the variable "use of smart technologies" is the first level variable in the promotion of ethics and health, and the variables "Analysis of the situation of manpower and customs processes, ethical characteristics of employees and laws and management of information technology and human resources" » is the second level variable. And the variables of "conditions and structure of the organization and the requirements and infrastructure of information technology" are the variables of the third level.
