Aim:
In recent years, there has been a substantial shift in how e-learning is approached. Due to the extensive usage of e-learning, many teachers have thus far addressed the implementation of the didactic process using this method. As a result, educators have been obliged to quickly switch to educating students using platforms like Moodle. The epidemic has altered schooling forever. It was an effort on the part of both students and instructors. Teachers who are digitally aware and well qualified are needed in the epidemic crisis. Inquire about the Web 3.0 transformation project, which refers to intelligent apps employing natural language processing, machine-based learning, and reasoning. The Web has changed since the early days of the Web 3.0 transformation project. Therefore, educators should improve their knowledge and abilities in order to make the best use possible of technical equipment, E-learning tools, educational apps, and other online platforms for educational applications. Although virtual universities have been around for about ten years, there hasn't been much research done to show how much this knowledge differs from traditional knowledge acquisition in terms of quality, pedagogical methods used, and other issues. There has also been little research done on how students and teachers view teaching in terms of time, work organization, didactic needs, and personal character predispositions. Universities are being forced to change their curricula and methods of teaching as we approach the Industry 4.0 industrial revolution in order to prepare students for careers as engineers who can function in a virtual and almost totally automated world. Unquestionably, remote learning is a cutting-edge teaching technique that seamlessly integrates with the strategies used to train employees for Industry 4.0. The rapid growth of mobile digital information and communication technologies at the age of 30 indicates that a shift in how people see e-education is inevitable. Largely portable Computer devices (laptops, palmtops, and tablets), especially contemporary ones, have risen in popularity as multimedia gadgets in the media world, where modern people and businesses function. Smartphones and wireless Internet access will be commonplace in Industry 4.0, allowing human resources to be included in training programs that employ computer-stored materials and online activities. Due to this, it is crucial to start research and train future Industry 4.0 employees via distance learning. In line with the advancement of information and communication technology, e-learning has dramatically changed. Opportunities that conventional training does not provide are offered by e-learning. Mobility, flexibility, and interaction are three of this style of education most significant benefits. After the invention of the Web, e-Learning really took off, and it is continually evolving to meet new difficulties. All educational levels use this kind of instruction. The learning process, as well as that of university instructors and students, may greatly benefit from e-Learning. The aim of this special session is to discuss how education has changed, especially in times of pandemic, digitalization, AI times and what challenges universities face in ensuring the highest possible level of education. The aim of the session will also be to find out how teachers and students evaluate distance learning, what their expectations are, and what  elements require improvement. It will also be discussed whether e-learning is our future and what the main problems are with introducing such a form of education at Universities in the industry 5.0, digitalization and artificial intelligence (AI) eras.

Aim: Wearable electronics are devices that can be worn or mated with human skin to pay close attention to activities of individual continuously without interrupting or limiting the motions of people and will play vital functions in future prevention-oriented healthcare monitoring systems. Most wearable sensing technologies that exist have focused on power efficiency, cost and portability. Future proactive health technologies, on the other hand, must be accurate and high-resolution if the general population is going to adopt them. In the other words, when sensor nodes are used in the body area networks for data collection, linearity and resolution are usually of much more vital importance than the power, because the amplitude of these signals is quite small. This session aims to bring together researchers, academicians and practitioners for discussion and exchange of ideas on the latest developments in high-resolution circuit design of the sensor as well as data converters, which always play an important role in the sensor microsystem.
