Nowadays, many people are interested in working as a freelancer because it gives opportunities to people to choose their work according to their convenience. Currently, the people of Bangladesh are using a bidding or direct booking system for buying and selling freelance services. There are very limited opportunities for freelancers to promote their work. Therefore, the purpose of the proposed system is to provide a platform where freelancers can promote their skills and at the same time customers can post job offers and create an agreement with the freelancer. This agreement will create a bridge between the customer and the freelancer. It is hoped that the proposed system will provide a more convenient way for freelancers in Bangladesh to promote their skills and find freelance jobs.

Awareness Raising

<p>The Early Warning System (EWS)  is recognized as a crucial mechanism for disaster risk reduction. Despite advances in technologies, the biggest shortcoming of EWS is that risk information is still failing to reach the people at risk in developing countries like Nepal and India. This presentation is based on the qualitative analysis of 90 interviews conducted for my Ph.D. thesis, in the Kosi River basin, across the Nepal-India border. Annually the Kosi River and its tributaries cause widespread flooding and inundation in Nepal and India. Recently, significant advancements have occurred in the sector of risk communication for Flood-EWS in Nepal and India. Government institutions use mobile text messages, web-based Apps, flood bulletins, and other measures to inform people about the flood. Despite the efforts, significant challenges were observed in the information outreach, especially to the women and vulnerable people living in the study area. Challenges were also identified in understanding the received text messages by flood vulnerable people, and spatially relating the information about river depth for their evacuation decision.  Recommendations were made for inclusive and people-centered EWS based on Impact based forecasting as well as on awareness-raising activities through mobile applications.</p>

Based Instruction

This chapter presents results from a meta-analysis that compares the effectiveness of Web-based instruction (WBI) to classroom instruction (CI). The results suggest that when the same instructional methods are used, WBI and CI are equally effective for teaching declarative knowledge. However, the instructional methods and course design features incorporated in WBI are critical factors in determining trainees’ knowledge acquisition. Specifically, the chapter examines the influence of lecture, human interaction, and learner control on the effectiveness of WBI. Based on the findings, the authors provide the following recommendations for increasing learning in WBI: (1) require trainees to be active, (2) incorporate a variety of instructional methods, (3) offer computer and Internet skillscourses, (4) provide trainees with access to lecture notes, (5) incorporate synchronous human interaction, and (6) provide trainees with learner control.

“The Voice of the People,” “Democratization of the Media,” and “Radio on Demand,” are some of the titles podcasting has earned since emerging on the public technology scene in 2004. The original podcast movement started with Adam Curry, a former host on cable television’s MYV, and much of the movement was focused on music. Podcasts enabled people to be “instant disc jockeys” and create their own radio shows, albeit Web-based, RSS feed, and mobile.

When exploring the central role control plays in implementing technology-enhanced learning initiatives, it is essential to take into consideration self-regulated learning (SRL) and self-directed learning (SDL). Pilling-Cormick & Garrison’s (2007) work provides a research framework which includes a comprehensive overview of how SRL and SDL are integrally related. In this chapter, the connection is taken one step further by using the framework to explore SRL/SDL Technology-Enhanced learning. Implications for practice are derived from three exploratory studies using technology-enhanced learning (handheld, web-based, and online) with a focus on learner control. Solutions and recommendations arise, including considerations for designing instruction with a focus on learner control as it relates to technology.

Online polling system is the web based project to build for voting online among between the people and the citizen.The word “Vote” means to choose form the list, to elect, or to determine. It promotes the casting online voting from any location over the world. Online polling system analysis the real-time implementation or virtual.it helps to reduce thewaste of time, no paper work, no count of votes by hand and no hand-work. It prevents from the chance of falsevoting. It’s very simple, safe, secure and take less-time to conduct votes. The main objective of online polling system to allow the people to cast their votes by online over the world .Prevent voters from voting more than once for the single people or person.Easily handled the larger voters andusers.We are developing an on-line voting system by taking advantage of the database with to store a web interface. We have to create the table for store the data into the database . For identification we use the ‘keys’, which is called the “primary keys “or may be for “forieng key”, which should be should be unique or not null.Here,we requiredhardware as well as software component.For developing this polling first we create or the moduls then after we integrate all the module together to build and enhance the project.

AbstractContextDespite many awareness programs conducted by the governments and other agencies, there are certain false beliefs among the general public of India towards the transmission, prevention, and treatment of COVID-19.AimsTo assess the knowledge and beliefs of the general public of India on COVID-19.Materials and MethodsA web-based cross-sectional survey was conducted between 20th March and 15th April 2020. A 17-item questionnaire was developed, validated, and used for the study. The questionnaire was randomly distributed among the public using Google forms through social media networks. Descriptive analysis was performed to represent the study characteristics, Chi-square test for assessing the associations among the study variables, and logistic regression analysis for identifying the factors influencing the beliefs.ResultsA total of 462 participants with a mean (SD) age of 30.66 (11.31) years were responded to the questionnaire. Study participants are having fairly good knowledge of the basic aspects of COVID-19. However, a considerable fraction of participants were having false beliefs towards the transmission of new coronavirus, and prevention & treatment of COVID-19. It was observed that the participants who were aged 31-60 years and >60 years, education level of intermediate or diploma and high school certificate, and occupation as the unskilled workers had more of false beliefs towards COVID-19 compared to their counterparts.ConclusionThough the overall knowledge on COVID-19 was good enough among the general public of India, still there is a need for education to avoid false beliefs especially among the people who are elderly, having a low level of education, and non-professional workers.Key MessagesA cross-sectional web-based online survey was conducted to assess the knowledge and beliefs of general public of India on COVID-19. It was identified that the knowledge among the general public on COVID-19 is fairly good. However, still there are some false beliefs among the population towards transmission of new coronavirus, and prevention & treatment of COVID-19, especially among the people who are elderly, having low level of education, and non-professional workers.
