Why is web-based learning important?


It encourages independent learning and allows you to skip over subjects you've already mastered. Web-based learning is self-directed and facilitates individualized learning. It promotes self-awareness and self-confidence while encouraging pupils to take charge of their own learning.

Web-based learning is a method of learning that incorporates web-based technology or applications into the learning process. Web-based learning refers to learning materials given via a web browser, including content packed on CD-ROM or other media. Web-based education refers to all aspects and processes of education that make use of the World Wide Web as a communication medium and supporting technology. Web-based learning includes online education, virtual education, internet-based education, education through computer-mediated communication, tele learning, distance learning, cooperation, and so on.

Web-based learning can be formal or casual. Teachers plan formal web-based learning activities. Informal learning occurs when you look for information on the Internet. It is self-paced, depending on your learning objectives and motivation. While e-learning refers to learning activities utilizing computers and interactive networks, web-based learning is connected with learning materials given through a web browser.

Features of web based learning:

  • Flexibility and time
  • Learning andunderstanding
  • Cross-platform and varied software
  • Cost
  • Accessibility and equal opportunity for all
A web-based platform for the digital parts of a course of study, typically within educational institutions, is referred to as virtual learning.

Professor Murray Turoff defines a virtual classroom as a "web-based environment that allows you to participate in live training events without the need to travel." You listen to lectures, participate in lab activities, ask questions, and receive feedback just as you would in a traditional classroom, except you do it from the comfort of your desktop or anyplace you have an internet and phone connection. It saves the inconvenience, price, and travel time to a training site."

Will AI replace hackers?

Image
As artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) gain traction in the cybersecurity business, fears about the future of cybersecurity jobs mount. Many people are concerned that AI will eventually replace human cybersecurity specialists; however this is not totally accurate and is based on many fallacies. One of the most common misconceptions about AI is that it can think and learn like a human, but in reality, AI is still constrained by the data on which it is educated. While AI is capable of analyzing enormous volumes of data and identifying patterns, it lacks human intuition, creativity, and decision-making abilities. Because threats and attacks can be complicated and subtle, cybersecurity requires a human touch. Cybersecurity specialists, unlike AI, can think outside the box, employ critical thinking abilities, and devise novel solutions. Furthermore, AI systems may be incapable of detecting novel and emerging risks. Furthermore, AI may be unable to recognize the context o

How does Cloud Storage work?

Image
Cloud Storage stores data on remote servers, such as files, corporate data, videos, or photographs. Users upload data to servers via an internet connection, where it is saved on a virtual machine on a physical server. To ensure availability and redundancy, cloud companies frequently distribute data to many virtual computers in data centers  situated across the world. If storage requirements increase, the cloud provider will spin up extra virtual computers to handle the strain. Users can access data in Cloud Storage via an internet connection and software such as a web portal, browser, or mobile app via an application programming interface (API). Cloud Storage is available in four different models: Public: Public Cloud Storage is a paradigm in which an organization stores data in the data centers of a service provider that are also used by other businesses. Data in public Cloud Storage is distributed across various areas and is frequently available via subscription or pay-as-you-go. P

When was biometrics first used?

Image
In recent years, biometric authentication has entered the mainstream; facial recognition on smartphones, technologies to speed up the airport experience, finger print access to online banking apps, or even biometric payment cards are just a few examples. While it may appear to be a novel notion, biometrics has been around for decades. Biometrics can be traced back to ancient times when fingerprints and handprints were used to sign and seal documents. The application of biometrics as a tool for identification and security purposes began in the late nineteenth century with the work of Alphonse Bertillon.  In 1879, a French police officer established an anthropometry method that involves measuring numerous physical traits such as height, weight, and the size of the head, arms, and feet to identify criminals. This approach was widely utilized by police agencies around the world and was regarded the gold standard for identification until the early twentieth century. In the early 20th centu
