This chapter is about the design and implementation of an information system, using Wiki technology to improve the emergency preparedness efforts of the Claremont University Consortium. For some organizations, as in this case, responding to a crisis situation is done within a consortia environment. Managing knowledge across the various entities involved in such efforts is critical. This includes having the right set of information that is timely, relevant, and is governed by an effective communication process. It is expected that issues such as training in use of system(s), a knowledge sharing culture between entities involved in emergency preparedness, and a fit between task and technology/system must be there to support emergency preparedness activities given such structures. This study explored the use of Wiki technology to support knowledge management in the context of emergency preparedness within organizations. While initially found to be useful for supporting emergency preparedness, continuing experience with the system suggests that wikis might be more useful as a collaborative tool used to train people involved in emergency preparedness, rather than being used to support response activities during an actual emergency.

The implementation of technological system on the members of organization has always create great opportunities as well as intense challenges. On educational settings, the introduction of integrated technology system on the newly intake students provides the possibility of both acceptance and resistance. The enforcement of Telkom University’s Integrated Academic Information System (iGracias) on its institutional members has create great challenges to achieve its adoption, especially among its new members. Specifically, this study aims at measuring the level of awareness, perception, and attitude towards iGracias and its impact on the students’ actual adoption. Designed with a quantitative approach, this research seeks to test the formulated hypotheses and to validate a new model based on the responses from 200 newly intake students of 2018 academic year at Telkom University. The results of the study indicate that students’ awareness and perception are positively and significantly related to their attitude towards the iGracias. the analysis also point out a positive and significant relationship between attitude on iGracias towards its adoption. Furthermore, the results found that the attitude towards the iGracias has mediating effects on both awareness and perception on the technology. Finally, the study also manages to validate a new model and argues its practical relevance on the similar organizational context.

Purpose To provide an overview of communication characteristics exhibited by individuals with Angelman Syndrome (AS) and special considerations associated with the design and implementation of augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) programs. Method Results of recent studies exploring individuals' uses of AAC are reviewed, with particular emphasis on factors related to individuals' acceptance and successful uses of AAC systems. Results Not applicable Conclusion Despite their inconsistent access to practices previously found to foster individuals' acceptance of AAC systems, individuals with AS demonstrate the ability to use AAC systems, including high-tech AAC devices, successfully.
