The Relationship

This paper examines the question: what is the experience of meeting online and how does it differ from ordinary classroom situations? Drawing from personal experience, the author explores possible experiences of existing in virtual space and time. How do people meet, get to know each other and, interact in a pedagogical situation? Her experience as an online student made her to seriously reflect on the experiential nature of the computer-mediated encounter. But, it was not until she happened to participate in a workshop offered by the same teacher that the contrasts began to take shape for her. If there is a difference between online and offline meetings, what is it that makes the difference? Online communication could, just as face-to-face meetings, create feelings of closeness, and friendship; from the other-as-a-text on the screen, we subjectively create the other-as-an-idea, an idea that might be perceived as the real other. But is it? What reality is for real? What is the nature of the relationship established between body-less persons on line, and what difference does the body make in a face-to-face meeting?

The authors, a social scientist and a visual artist, collaborated to produce building_space_with_words, an interactive multimedia installation. The project investigated the relationship between physical and virtual space and more specifically what happens when the physical properties of space become intangible and discourse becomes the main material. Drawing on studies of organizational space and of on-line communities, the authors created an environment that materialized virtual and physical interactions. This paper describes the elements—the maze, the sound, the tag wall, the tag journey and the blog—that created the installation and the concepts that inspired the work.

The COVID-19 outbreak locked down the university classrooms and transferred the teaching and learning activities to a virtual space. This paper discusses the challenges the teachers faced due to this dramatic transfer from habitual classrooms to virtual on-line classes. This small-scale empirical research focuses on two research questions: Which challenges and problems did the teachers face, which solutions did they find to overcome them? The study also investigates the techniques of synchronous on-line classes management employed by the teachers after the COVID-19 restrictions were imposed on traditional delivery modes in higher education. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 10 university teaching staff members who commenced giving online classes in March 2020. The research findings revealed that the main challenge for teachers was to find a learning platform providing videoconferencing tools, and the solutions were found basically through asking their colleagues for advice. The findings also identified one of the teachers’ concerns related to handling students’ misbehaviour during online classes, and a general need in developing teachers’ virtual class management skills.

Being Moved

We live in informatics society in which we are slowly, but certainly, reaching new limits of digitalization mainly using communication between people through different ICT networks: mobile phones, Facebook, social networks, etc. Today, entire Earth, regions, cities, settlements, etc. can be observed through Google. Data bases of every living person is being formed using possibilities to ?track? every individual in space and time. Flows of financial capital are also being digitalized: individuals by using credit cards, on/line transactions, etc. and in banking systems global on-line transactions. Everyday goods such as food, clothing, etc. can be ordered through portals on the internet. Even various study courses and schools are being organized via internet. The real world (space, people, money, knowledge) are digitally being moved into virtual space. Here arises the question: To which space dimension is this process of digitalization taking us? This main research question will lead the paper discussion opening basic dilemmas: (1) Will real life slowly move to virtual world? (2) Is the dematerialization of spatial and urban systems reaching its limits? (3) Shall and what kind of usage we will have for virtual world? Especially in relation to city development, including the possibilities of estimating developmental options as well as in perceiving the effects of certain decisions in real life. The main goal of the paper is to give answers to above disposed questions as well as to prove the thesis that we have a great range of influence and possibilities on the new meaning of urban development that is transforming into digital sphere, claiming that we will not have a runaway digital city, but the opposite: the city which digitalization will give a new meaning and possibilities for its re/creation.

Impedance measurements by EIS are used to build a physical circuit-based model that enables various fault diagnostics and lifetime predictions. These research areas are becoming increasingly crucial for the safety and preventive maintenance of fuel cell power systems. It is challenging to apply the impedance measurement up to commercial applications at the field level. Although EIS technology has been widely used to measure and analyze the characteristics of fuel cells, EIS is applicable mainly at the single-cell level. In the case of stacks constituting a power generation system in the field, it is difficult to apply EIS due to various limitations in the high-power condition with uncontrollable loads. In this paper, we present a technology that can measure EIS on-line by injecting the perturbation current to fuel cell systems operating in the field. The proposed EIS method is developed based on Simulink Real-Time so that it can be applied to embedded devices. Modeling and simulation of the proposed method are presented, and the procedures from the simulation in virtual space to the real-time application to physical systems are described in detail. Finally, actual usefulness is shown through experiments using two physical systems, an impedance hardware simulator and a fuel cell stack with practical considerations.

The article analyzes a non-chemical type of the dependence on online games. The author considers classification and universal signs of dependence and draws the line between the two types of addictive behavior: Internet dependence and dependence on online games. In contrast to clinical characteristics used in the scientific literature, the author suggests a new criterion for identification of the dependence on the on- line games in the scientific psychological school A.V. Petrovsky — position "significant other" in real or virtual space. "Game addiction" — a new term, which is introduced in order to distinguish between the concept of gambling, dependence on online games and, dependence on the game, carried out without Internet connection. The author proposes and substantiates the socio-psychological research methodology aimed at its diagnos- tics. Empirical results that indicate differences in the level of Internet dependence and dependence on online games of respondents, depending on the factor of having "sig- nificant other” in the network, are represented.

Hybrid Learning Environment

Learning sites in higher education have become more diffuse, diverse, and tangled. As instructors, we can hybridize our encounters with students, meeting them one week in class; another week, in virtual space. Our initial experimentation with hybrid learning has left us face-to-face with breakthroughs, break-downs, and deep pedagogical dillemmas. In this chapter, we voice our emergent sensibilities about the transformative potential—both for our students and ourselves—of inhabiting a hybrid learning environment. Our discussion is based on our observations of doctoral students’ interaction and engagement on-line, as well as our own embodied sensitivities about how we, as instructors, experience ourselves and our work in the pedagogical movement between our classrooms and virtual space.

Almost two centuries after death, Alexander Sergeyevich Griboyedov (1794-1829) continues to influence social processes. To unravel the mystery of this phenomenon, it is necessary to answer the question about the character of perception of the writer and diplomat and to find out what features of his image appeal to modern people. The subject of this work is the perception of Griboyedov in the electronic environment. The work shows how the search engines index the blo-gosphere, which is dedicated to “the author of Famusov and Skalozub”, what topics are popular among its readers and what kind of audience it is, what influences the attendance of the only on-line-diary about the writer’s discourse, what is its history creation, purpose, structure, genre and style of material presentation, what factors determine the demand for the content of this resource and in which way it differs from similar media, what Web borrows from this project and in what manner. The basis of the narrative is made up of information that is not available in the public domain, observations over the media space are commented in the light of the state of affairs in griboedovistic. The request for the new data about the writer and diplomat on the virtual space is correlated with the attitudes of researchers and relevant publications of 2012–2020, the prospect of overcoming the identified discrepancies is associated with the changing of the agenda in modern science and disclosed by the characteristics of its tasks.
