Jhon Jairo Hernandez's curator insight, September 18, 2018 9:23 PM
This is a discussion about the impact that has the development of publich assigments in the class. There are authors pinting out -that in-class presentactions help the students to feel more comfortable and overcome anxiety. 
On the other hand, most of the people think thta this types of activities force students to do it, so learning does not tak place. 


So, this opens up the next question, Is appropiate to carry out in-class presentation in the classroom? Do they really help students? 
I would like to research more about due to the fact that it is an important issue that I want to know in order to reach my practicum development.

ANN-based AI programs have enormous potential to redefine what we understand to be personalized learning, and while in the early stages, it is well worth looking at the innovations that are at the cutting-edge of Learning Management System design.
