Machine and deep learning are a MUST at the North-West University
Our world is speeding up, and never in human existence have we been able to search as fast, travel as far or delve as deep. The last century alone has seen a meteoric increase in the accumulation of data and we are able to store unfathomable quantities of information to help us solve problems known and unknown. At some point the ability to…https://news.nwu.ac.za/prof-ramorola-aiming-optimise-technology-use-classrooms
Prof Ramorola, aiming to optimise technology use in classrooms
As an expert in computer-integrated education and digital learning, Prof Mmankoko Ziphorah Ramorola firmly believes that, since learners in the 21st century are technology-savvy, they absolutely cannot be taught in the same way as learners before them. Whereas the children of today are – so to speak – born with digital competence, the same cannot…https://news.nwu.ac.za/nwu-hosts-biggest-spar-netball-championships-ever

Die cannabisprobleem: regsgrense moet tussen die huis en die werkplek vasgestel word
Die Konstitusionele Hof van Suid-Afrika het in 2018 die kweek en gebruik van cannabis gewettig, mits dit vir privaat gebruik deur ’n volwasse persoon in ’n privaat plek is. Advokaat Dineo Mongwaketsi het in haar meestersgraadnavorsing, wat by die Noordwes-Universiteit (NWU) uitgevoer is, gekyk na die regsimplikasies wat die wettiging van cannabis…https://news.nwu.ac.za/cannabis-conundrum-legal-lines-need-be-drawn-between-home-and-workplace
The cannabis conundrum: legal lines need to be drawn between home and workplace
In 2018, the Constitutional Court of South Africa legalised the cultivation and use of cannabis, provided that it is for private use by an adult person in a private place. In her master’s-degree research carried out at the North-West University (NWU), Advocate Dineo Mongwaketsi looked at the legal implications of the legalisation of cannabis for…https://news.nwu.ac.za/af/organisasieleiers-kan-hulle-risikobestuursbeleggings-optimaliseer-deur-nuwe-metodes-te-ondersoek
Organisasieleiers kan hulle risikobestuursbeleggings optimaliseer deur nuwe metodes te ondersoek
Alle staats- en privaat organisasies moet die sistemiese risiko’s van ons komplekse wêreld hanteer. Sulke inherent komplekse kwessies is egter moeilik om te bestuur, selfs wanneer beduidende hulpbronne in die implementering van formele risikobestuursraamwerke en verwante prosesse benut word. Dit is daarom belangrik vir organisasieleiers om nuwe…https://news.nwu.ac.za/organisational-leaders-can-optimise-their-risk-management-investments-exploring-new-methods
Organisational leaders can optimise their risk management investments by exploring new methods

Dis moontlik om saans te kook omdat termiese energie gestoor kan word
’n Mens kan nou saans sonkragstowe gebruik om warm etes voor te berei, aangesien termiese energie in stelsels gestoor kan word. Sommige stelsels werk egter beter as ander, en daar is ruimte vir verbetering. So sê prof Ashmore Mawire van die navorsingsgroep vir sontermiese energie by die Noordwes-Universiteit (NWU). Hy het onlangs ’n…https://news.nwu.ac.za/night-time-cooking-solar-possible-thermal-energy-storage
Night-time cooking with solar is possible with thermal energy storage
With the aid of thermal energy storage systems it is possible to use solar cookers to prepare hot meals at night. Some systems perform better than others though, and there is room for improvement. This is according to Prof Ashmore Mawire of the Solar Thermal research group at the North-West University (NWU).
