The effective anti-corruption education requires careful understanding of the teaching-learning context. At the different stages of the designing an anti-corruption focuses course, we need to consider factors related to target learning group as well as the respective context in which they are. Learning style versatility is an important factor that needs to be analyzed for an effective and outcome linked course in Anti-Corruption. The emergence of artificial intelligence provides significant opportunities in improving the outcome-focused course design. Automating the identification of learning style versatility of target learning group can simplify the process of customizing the course contents, pedagogy and assessment framework for the given learning group. The article is conceptual in nature and provides a generic framework for applying artificial intelligence (AI) in developing the anti-corruption course, tailored to the target learning group characteristics. The suggested framework can be adapted under the different teaching-learnings contexts, as per the need. The anti-corruption is an extended and applied area of ethics and, therefore, the framework can also be extended in developing course modules related to other similar themes.

1Boy Crusoe

By Allan Eric

Also published as" A Yankee Crusoe" . A 15 year old hard working and studious farm boy finds the lure of adventure on the seas as a merchant seaman more than he can resist. This is his story. " I was born in a little town in the State of Maine, near the close of the Civil War. My boyhood life did not differ materially from that of the average farmer's son in the remote country districts of New England--except, perhaps, that I read more and thought more. Hard work on the rugged soil, two terms each year in the little yellow country schoolhouse, a day's fishing now and then filled the early years of my life full to over-flowing. " What he gets is enough excitement and adventure to overflow his wildest dreams. How he experiences disaster and uses his wits and knowledge to overcome every problem makes for a great read. - Summary by Phil Chenevert
