Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Nineteen small business owners/managers in the Halifax Regional Municipality were interviewed regarding their workplace learning. Of particular interest was their e-learning activity. Results of this study indicate that 19 firms (100%) had access to a computer and that 18 firms (95%) access to the Internet. However, only 16 owners of the 19 firms (84%) used the computer and 15 of the 19 owners (79%) used the Internet. The computer was used by owners for a variety of things, mostly business related, for example, accounting. However, only three described specific use of the computer for learning, for example, through CDs. Internet use was mainly for broad-brush information access, a learning outcome however, only two people identified specific e-learning activities. Several owners discussed opposition to e-learning. Results are discussed and future research directions are identified.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
