Abstract: In contemporary society, innovation technologies expand to almost every field of human activity,including such wide field as education.Due to integrating innovation technologies into the educational process practice, this phenomenon gained special significance within improvement and modernization of the established educational system.Innovative applications and new learning methods must be built to orchestrate formal and informal learning in order to bring smart learning experiences into the learning landscape and instructional context.
This paper explores the core aspects of knowledge discovery and the major obstacles to be addressed when developing intellectual education settings to facilitate personalization. The paper also presents an attempt for a critical analysis of e-learning as a mono-educationaltechnology in a pandemic

Abstract: This research was carried out to determine the effect of Game of Set on adult learners` academic achievement in simple arithmetic in Nsukka Local Government Area Studying Centres. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design. Three research questions and hypotheses guided the study. The study was conducted in Nsukka Local Government Area. The population of the study was 437 (156 male and 281 female), adult learners. The sample size was 48 and was obtained through a simple random sampling technique using intact classes of the two centres. The instrument for the study was Simple Arithmetic Achievement Test (SAAT) of 25 multi-choice objective questions. Using Kudar-Richarson 20, 0.96 was obtained on the reliability test instrument. Mean and the standard deviation was used to answer the research questions while Analysis of Covariance was used for the hypotheses......
