The use of telephone and VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) interviews has become necessary owing to the legal restrictions and safety measures introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic. This has furthered scholarly dialogue surrounding the choice of interview mode, and the assumption that face-to-face interviews are the "gold standard" [Novick, 2008: 397]. The general public has also become more accustomed to utilising VoIP in their day-to-day lives. In this article, I discuss this change in communication methods and the impact it could have on interview modes. Nevertheless, the researcher's and participant's contexts remain paramount when deciding which interview mode to employ. For this reason, Oltmann's model [Oltmann, 2016] has been extended to include VoIP, providing a more complete framework for researchers to make an informed decision when contemplating interview modes.

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is a significant application of the converged network principle where the voice traffic is routed over Internet Protocol shared traffic networks. VoIP traffic was modelled over wireless network and a simulation of the traffic was transmitted over the network. E-model technique was used to analyze the traffic data and also to rate VoIP QoS parameters.  The result achieved was mapped to the Mean Opinion Scale to determine the Quality of Service of VoIP over wireless networks. The results shows that QoS in the VoIP communications is significantly impacted by these parameters and the impact varies according to the parameters and also the communication aspects selected for the VoIP traffic analysis.Keywords: VoIP, QoS, E-Model and Mean Opinion Scale  


A private branch exchange (PBX) is implemented by an Asterisk software. In conjunction with appropriate telecommunication hardware interfaces and network applications, Asterisk is employed to establish and manage the telephone calls between telecommunication endpoints, like customary telephone sets, destinations on the general public switched telephone network (PSTN), and devices or services on voice over internet Protocol (VoIP) networks. A Vocoder may be a system of coders and encoders that is employed to scaleback the bandwidth over the restricted use of bandwidth necessities and restricted capability channels in real time needs. This paper presents Performance of Various VOIP Vocoders using wireshark with Asterisk PBX.

Fakultas Ilmu Komputer Universitas Lancang Kuning memiliki banyak pegawai yang tersebar dibeberapa ruangan yang berjauhan. Para pegawai untuk berkomunikasi sehari-hari biasanya dengan cara bertemu langsung (face to face), menggunakan telepon. Maka diperlukan suatu media komunikasi alternatif bagi pegawai dalam berkomunikasi sehari-hari untuk meningkatkan kinerja suatu instansi atau mengurangi biaya untuk berkomunikasi dan membuat komunikasi lebih praktis. Salah satu cara untuk mengoptimalkan sistem komunikasi tersebut adalah dengan mengimplementasikan Voice Over Internet Protokol (VoIP) IP Phone sebagai media komunikasi, dengan memanfaatkan topologi jaringan komputer Fakultas Ilmu Komputer yang sudah ada sebelumnya. Media komunikasi ini dibangun menggunakan server Briker , aplikasi softphone X-Lite dan aplikasi CsipSimple. Teknologi VoIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) dimanfaatkan sebagai jalur komunikasi yang tidak berbayar (gratis) dan bersifat open source dapat memberikan solusi alternatif komunikasi yang lebih murah. Teknologi ini mampu melewatkan trafik suara, video dan data yang berbentuk paket melalui jaringan IP.

VoIP is a technology that has received much attention over the past few years. Speculations are rampant that it will be “the technology” for telecommunications of the future, as broadband gains mass market penetration in every nation. It holds the promise of ubiquity and eliminates the need for a separate infrastructure for telecommunications. In this chapter, we have undertaken a cross country analysis of two economies, Germany and India, at varied levels of broadband voice over internet protocol (VoIP) diffusion, to examine the future potential of this technology in the respective nations and their telecommunications industries. Our brief analysis revealed some valuable insights regarding the impact of VoIP in both economies which may prove to be useful for other economies and telecommunication industries.

This paper describes the conversion of an introductory computing course to the blended learning model at a small, public liberal arts college. Blended learning significantly reduces face-to-face instruction by incorporating rich, online learning experiences. To assess the impact of blended learning on students, survey data was collected at the midpoint and end of semester, and student performance on the final exam was compared in traditional and blended learning sections. To capture faculty perspectives on teaching blended learning courses, written reflections and discussions from faculty teaching blended learning sections were analyzed. Results indicate that student performance in the traditional and blended learning sections of the course were comparable and that students reported high levels of interaction with their instructor. Faculty teaching the course share insights on transitioning to the blended learning format.

Abstrak: Kebiasaan manusia berubah karena adanya wabah COVID-19, hal ini berpengaruh ketika manusia masuk ke dalam fase new normal. New normal diartikan sebagai keadaan yang tidak biasa dilakukan sebelumnya, yang kemudian dijadikan sebagai standar atau kebiasaan baru yang mesti dilakukan manusia untuk dirinya sendiri maupun untuk bersosialisasi dengan orang lain. Kebiasaan baru ini pun menimbulkan pro dan kontra seiring dengan dampak yang timbul. Lembaga pendidikan tinggi merupakan salah satu yang merasakan dampak penerapan new normal. Perkuliahan yang selama ini dilakukan secara online/daring, akan kembali dilakukan secara luring/tatap muka, dengan tetap menerapkan protokol COVID-19 seperti mengenakan masker, menjaga jarak, mengenakan sarung tangan, serta tidak melakukan kontak fisik seperti berjabat tangan. Masalah yang muncul bukan hanya kecemasan orang tua terhadap anak – anaknya, tetapi bagaimana lembaga pendidikan tinggi mengatur segala sumber daya yang dimiliki agar memenuhi standar penerapan new normal. penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui penerimaan  terhadap kondisi normal yang baru menggunakan Perspektif balance score card. Abstract: Human habits change because of the COVID-19 outbreak, this affects when humans enter the new normal phase. New normal is defined as a condition that is not normally done before, which is then used as a standard or new habits that must be done by humans for themselves or to socialize with others. This new habit also raises the pros and cons along with the impact arising with the new normal. Higher education institutions are the ones who feel the impact of implementing new normal. Lectures that have been conducted online / online will be re-done offline / face to face, while still applying the COVID-19 protocol such as wearing a mask, keeping a distance, wearing gloves, and not making physical contact such as shaking hands. The problem that arises is not only parents' anxiety about their children, but how higher education institutions regulate all available resources to meet new normal implementation standards. This study aims to determine acceptance of new normal conditions using the balance score card Perspective.

VoIP stands for voice over internet protocol. It is one of the most widely used technologies. It enables users to send and transmit media over IP network. The transition from IPv4 to IPv6 provides many benefits for internet IPv6 is more efficient than IPv4. This paper presents a performance analysis of VoIP over WLAN using IPv4 and IPv6 and OPNET software program to simulate the protocols and to investigate the QoS parameters such as jitter, delay variation, packet send, and packet received and throughputs for IP4 and IP6 and compare between them.
