M-learning or mobile learning is defined as learning through mobile apps, social interactions and online educational hubs via Internet or network using personal mobile devices such as tablets and smart phones. However, in such open environment examination security is most challenging task as students can exchange mobile devices or also can exchange information through network during examination. This paper aims to design secure examination management system for m- learning and provide appropriate mechanism for anti- impersonation to ensure examination security. The users are authenticated through OTP. To prevent students from exchanging mobile devices during examination, system re-authenticates students automatically through face recognition at random time without interrupting the test. The system also provides external click management i.e. prevent students from accessing online sites and already downloaded files during examination.

ABSTRACTOne of the more widely advocated solutions to slowing down the spread of COVID-19 has been automated contact tracing. Since proximity data can be collected by personal mobile devices, the natural proposal has been to use this for contact tracing as this provides a major gain over a manual implementation. In this work, we study the characteristics of automated contact tracing and its effectiveness for mapping the spread of a pandemic due to the spread of SARS-CoV-2. We highlight the infrastructure and social structures required for automated contact tracing to work for the current pandemic. We display the vulnerabilities of the strategy to inadequately sample the population, which results in the inability to sufficiently determine significant contact with infected individuals. Of crucial importance will be the participation of a significant fraction of the population for which we derive a minimum threshold. We conclude that a strong reliance on contact tracing to contain the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic can lead to the potential danger of allowing the pandemic to spread unchecked. A carefully thought out strategy for controlling the spread of the pandemic along with automated contact tracing can lead to an optimal solution.

Objective: To describe the usage of a novel application (The FLOW) that allows mobile devices to be used for rounding and handoffs. Materials and Methods: The FLOW provides a view of patient data and the capacity to enter short notes via personal mobile devices. It was deployed using a “bring-your-own-device” model in 4 pilot units. Social network analysis (SNA) was applied to audit trails in order to visualize usage patterns. A questionnaire was used to describe user experience. Results: Overall, 253 health professionals used The FLOW with their personal mobile devices from October 2013 to March 2015. In pediatric and neonatal intensive care units (ICUs), a median of 26–26.5 notes were entered per user per day. Visual network representation of app entries showed that usage patterns were different between the ICUs. In 127 questionnaires (50%), respondents reported using The FLOW most often to enter notes and for handoffs. The FLOW was perceived as having improved patient care by 57% of respondents, compared to usual care. Most respondents (86%) wished to continue using The FLOW. Discussion: This study shows how a handoff and rounding tool was quickly adopted in pediatric and neonatal ICUs in a hospital setting where patient charts were still paper-based. Originally developed as a tool to support informal documentation using smartphones, it was adapted to local practices and expanded to print sign-out documents and import notes within the medicolegal record with desktop computers. Interestingly, even if not supported by the nursing administrative authorities, the level of use for data entry among nurses and doctors was similar in all units, indicating close collaboration in documentation practices in these ICUs.

More and more students are bringing personal mobile devices such as smart phones and iPads to university campuses. Widespread mobile device ownership among students offers Higher Education (HE) institutions with opportunities to explore those devices to support teaching and learning practices. The idea of using students' personal devices is referred to as “Bring Your Own Device,” or BYOD. This chapter examines opportunities and key challenges often discussed in the literature and associated with a BYOD program. Outcomes suggest that a cultural change is necessary to effectively accommodate BYOD in the classroom. The chapter proposes a BYOD joint enterprise consisting of main stakeholders—administrators, faculty, students, and information technology personnel—working together to help minimize the impact of key challenges while maximizing the opportunities afforded by students' everyday mobile devices.

Introduction: The use of personal mobile devices to record patient data appears to be increasing, but remains poorly studied. We sought to determine the magnitude and purposes for which Canadian emergency physicians (EPs) and residents use their personal mobile devices (PMDs) to record patient data in the emergency department (ED). Methods: An anonymous survey was distributed to EPs and residents in the Canadian Association of Emergency Physicians (CAEP) database between 27/02/17 and 23/03/17. The survey captured demographic information and information on frequency and purpose of PMD use in the ED, whether consent was obtained, how the information was secured, and any possible implications for patient care. Participants were also asked about knowledge of, and any perceived restrictions from, current regulations regarding the use of PMDs healthcare settings. Results: The survey response rate was 23.1%. Of 415 respondents, 9 surveys were rejected for incomplete demographic data, resulting in 406 participants. A third (31.5%, 128/406, 95% CI 27.0-36.3) reported using PMDs to record patient data. Most (78.1%) reported doing so more than once a month and 7.0% reported doing so once every shift. 10.9% of participants indicated they did not obtain written or verbal consent. Reasons cited by participants for using PMDs to record patient data included a belief that doing so improves care provided by consultants (36.7%), expedites patient care (31.3%), and improves medical education (32.8%). 53.2% of participants were unaware of current regulations and 19.7% reported feeling restricted by them. Subgroup analysis suggested an increased frequency of PMD use to record patient data among younger physicians and physicians in rural settings. Conclusion: This is the first known Canadian study on the use of PMDs to record patient data in the ED. Our results suggest that this practice is common, and arises from a belief that doing so enhances patient care through better communication, efficiency, and education. Our findings also suggest current practices result in risk of both privacy and confidentiality breaches, and thus support arguments for both physician education and regulation reform.
