Abstract Introduction: Influenza is a highly contagious disease and is common in cold seasons. High prevalence of influenza in workplace causes severe economic damages.Thus any employer would be interested in preventing this by using appropriate tools. Tele Medicine means using information and communication technology tools to prevent primary, secondary and thirdly of diseases. Influenza illness in primary prevention can be achieved by tele educating target group, and change their knowledge as well as attitude and behavior in this goal by sending message on automation system or e-mail. In this study, the researcher is following the above listed equipment to increase awareness of target group about influenza disease. Methods: This research is a quasi-experimental study and was done in 2009-2010. The target group (40 employees) were selected from headquarter units in Tehran University of Medical Sciences using stratified – random sampling method and we respected all ethical principles. We used two approximately similar questionnaires as Pre- test and Post- test to gather data. The reliability of the questionnaires is determined at 90% by Cronbach's alpha test, and then for analyzing the data, they were entered in SPSS software version 16.For analyzing the data, We used: Independent Sample T- Test, One Way ANOVA and Paired Sample T-Test and linear Regression methods. Results: The Mean age of the study group was 34.82 years old. 30% of them were men and 70% were women overall. The mean of answers changed from 35.33 to 42.52 after the intervention (the intervention was sending information about influenza and its way of spreading and so on for surveying its effect on increasing the knowledge of employees) indicates significant differences in these results, so the intervention was effective. Age, academic educational level and the field of educational study did not have any significant relation with changes in knowledge and attitude of the study group, but gender significantly was related to the results. Conclusion: From findings of the research, we saw that this method can be useful for such programs like increasing knowledge about viruses' illnesses. Also we can conclude that with this species plans and the correct use of information and communication technology, particularly in the health field, we can expect not only reduction in different diseases in the future; but also if we follow this trend in long time, we will see increase in knowledge of employees, changes in their attitude and finally by its repeating and continuing we may predict reducing in many organizational costs, medical treatment costs and many other expenses. At last we can suggest using these programs for many other problems in health matters, and many other subjects which influence the costs and benefits of a system.

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) based teaching always helps the learners to aware with new trends and technologies. The flexibility and ease of using this technology brings new dimensions to the learners. The effectiveness of the learning depends on the content of e-learning material and its proper organization. ICT based Teaching approaches provides better understanding of the subjects to the learners in descriptive ways. The E-learning contents may includes text, audio, video graphics and animation or the combination of all of the above .The performance of learners may be improve when learning materials includes Information and Communication Technology. There are various approaches to compare the effectiveness of learning. One of the method of comparing traditional teaching and ICT based teaching is pre-test, post-test intervention. In this paper pre-test, post-test intervention approaches of comparison of traditional and ICT based teaching / learning has been used. In this approach student’s t-Test is used to show the improvement on learning. Here, the t-value uses ‘-value statistical chart’ at 90% confidence level. The whole work is divided in to two sections; the former approach calculates the student’s performance in different subjects of computer science & engineering (CSE) with normal class room teaching while the latter approach calculated the student’s performance after ICT based learning. An experimental circumstance has been established for a group of 18 Post graduates students of computer science; for these purpose 10 different subjects of computer science has been taken in to considerations. When these students appeared in the test after normal teaching, their score were recorded.. When these students appeared in the test after ICT based teaching in the same subjects with the different set of question papers, their secured marks were again recorded. The t-test has been calculated with the help of the scores obtained by students using ICT based Teaching and normal class room teaching. This pre-test, post-test intervention provides better understanding of the subject in latter ICT based learning approaches. From experimental results of t-test we are in position to say that the ICT based learning approaches are better as compared to the normal traditional class room learning approaches.

This paper studies whether and how information and communication technology (ICT) changes self-construal and cultural values in a developing country. Ethiopian children were given laptops in the context of an ICT for development scheme. We compared children who used laptops (n = 69) with a control group without laptops (n = 76) and a second control group of children whose laptop had broken down (n = 24). Results confirmed that after 1 year of laptop usage, the children’s self-concept had become more independent and children endorsed individualist values more strongly. Interestingly, the impact of laptop usage on cultural values was mediated by self-construal (moderated mediation). Importantly, modernization did not “crowd out” traditional culture: ICT usage was not associated with a reduction in traditional expressions (interdependent self-construal, collectivist values). Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
