Socio-Cognitive Awareness of Inmates through an Encrypted Innovative Educational Platform

Abstract

This research examines the educational challenges encountered by second-chance school students in the correctional facility during the pandemic. The opportunity to utilise a specialised digital interconnection facility with the eLearning Platform deprived offenders of the right to equal access to education. Using open-source software, a unique encrypted platform that enables distance learning, while preventing access to any other portion of the internet, besides the learning process, has been created. The findings of the review highlight the possibility of educating and training socially excluded individuals, such as prison inmates, through innovative learning techniques. Innovative education and learning techniques, such as Gamification, enhance inmates' attitudes in their cognitive and emotional dimensions. The innovative and secure platform enables inmates attending alternative schools, to assert their inherent right to information and lifelong learning. This study proposes a gamified perspective for educational access and lifelong learning. In conclusion, it was determined that the implementation of innovative learning methods with Gamification in distance learning education via the suggested encrypted platform, is a motivating lever for student-inmates, thereby boosting key skills, such as emotional, social, socio-cognitive awareness, leadership, and digital skills.

Enhancing Emotional Intelligence in Pervasive Developmental Disorders. The Autism Paradigm

“…Children who engaged in emotional intelligence programs experienced notable improvements in their social and emotional skills, attitudes, behavior, and academic performance within the school setting (Antonopoulou et al, 2022a). Despite the scarcity of research about special populations, the individual in question has provided evidence indicating a correlation between diminished emotional intelligence in children and reduced academic achievement (Gkintoni et al, 2021a).…”

The Value of Emotional Intelligence: Self-Awareness, Self-Regulation, Motivation, and Empathy as Key Components

“…Empathy can be defined as the cognitive and affective capacity to comprehend and establish a connection with individuals' emotions, requirements, and viewpoints and subsequently react suitably to their emotional states. Social skills encompass communicating effectively, establishing, and sustaining interpersonal connections, and engaging in collaborative efforts with others (Antonopoulou et al, 2022a;Giannoulis et al, 2022b). Goleman (1995) and Salovey and Mayer (1990) assert that emotional intelligence (EI) is not a static or inherent trait but rather a malleable skill that can be cultivated and enhanced through deliberate practice and constructive feedback.…”

Secure Distributed Cloud Storage based on the Blockchain Technology and Smart Contracts

“…It is well known that the blockchain structure can be exploited in several application domains [24,25,26]. The most popular one is the cryptocurrency exchange, where multiple users can interact with the system.…”
