The results indicated that official websites of the local tourism offices already provides sufficient general information regarding the destination; however it lacked facilities or features which allow visitor to interact more with the tourism office or even fellow visitors. The most frequent features available in the evaluated websites are Culture/history information which was the feature with highest percentage (77%) followed by Contact (email/fax) with (74%) Picture gallery and use of animated pictures were scored at (71%) and Newsletter at (68%), In the bottom of the list are Terms & Condition, Chatting/News Group, Virtual Postcard at (0%)or virtually non-existent. The results also show that local tourism offices still have much room for improvement in the term of using the internet to boost and maximize their destination marketing effort. It is recommended that local tourism offices significantly upgrade and modify their official websites into more efficient and effective marketing instrument to exploit the potential internet based market.

<p>We recruited 20 community members in Ido Local Government Area, Oyo state and Yewa Local Government Area, Ogun state in Nigeria to explore experiences and perceptions of Internet access and computer use. Face-to-face interviews were conducted using open-ended questions to collect qualitative data regarding accessibility of information and communication technology. Twenty low-income community members volunteered to participate in the study. The results centered around affordability of computers and Internet access, exposure to information on the Internet, increasing access to the Internet, training on computer use, benefits for job searching, and networking. The results indicated the lack of Internet access, affordability of computers and Internet usage, poverty, lack of computer skills, and poor infrastructures were contributors to the digital divide.</p>

This paper describes the use of a Linux embedded system for use in digital information and communication technology in order to generate image warnings using Internet of Things (IoT) prin- ciples. The proposed project generated a product, developed using concepts of project-based learning (ABP), called SECI (electronic internal communication system) that is accessed by students to view online warnings by distributed monitors and also by mobile devices connected to the Internet.

Historical Periods

Beside the fact that the Internet was not primarily educational network (it didn’t emerge from the intention to be systematically used in the field of education), shortly after it emerged, possibilities of its application in education were recognised. This paper is dedicated to analysis of the most important chronological moments (technological and social in the first place) that were crucial in sense of comprehensive application of the Internet in service of education in general, but also in service of adult education. Having all mentioned in focus, in more details, we analysed emergence and development of the Internet observed as educational computer network in frame of general development of information and communication technologies. While realising mentioned analysis, our focus was on four historical periods of educational computer technologies. We also intended to emphasize the activities of international institutions that followed, encouraged and supported the development of the Internet use and the use of other information and communication technologies in the field of education. According to that, we distinguished the main moments referring activities of these organisations which describe in the best manner their contributions to growing application of the Internet in education in general, but also in adult education.

Hotel Websites

The Purpose – An evaluation of 197 hotel websites in Croatia was conducted to determine whether hotels in this economically lagging transition country exploit the potentials of the Internet as a marketing tool. Design/Methodology/Approach – A team of 30 trained assistants evaluated the websites using an amended modified Balanced Scorecard (mBSC) approach from the user-friendliness, site attractiveness, marketing effectiveness, and F&B informativeness perspectives. MANOVA was used to test main and interaction effects of hotel size, quality rating, and location on four website performance perspectives. Findings – Although hoteliers recognize the importance of online presence, most are not effectively using websites from the user-friendliness, marketing effectiveness, and F&B perspectives. Hotel quality rating, location, and their two-way interaction are significant in explaining differences in site attractiveness and marketing effectiveness. Hotel size does not explain the differences among the four website perspectives. Originality – In lieu of the rapidly evolving IT and consumer trends, this study provides hoteliers with an updated website assessment tool that can serve as a point of comparison against contemporary e-marketing approaches. Moreover, since tourism website evaluation is an under researched topic in transition economies, this article makes a contribution in the needed direction. The study ends with a discussion of results and implications for hoteliers, policy makers, and scholars.

Smart Appliance

Smart appliance design that includes multimedia intelligence to deliver comfortable, convenient, and secure personal services in the home is becoming increasingly crucial in the age of information and communication technology. This research looks at the design and execution of a novel interactive multimedia mirror system called as "smart mirror." The glass that will be used is the foundation of the design of a smart mirror. Two-way glass is suggested because it allows the visuals on the display to be seen more clearly. Our way of life has evolved to the point where making the best use of one's time is critical. Based on user surveys and prototype implementation, we propose the development of an innovative appliance that incorporates interactive information services delivered via a user interface on the surface of a mirror. Our work is based on the assumption that we all check ourselves in the mirror before leaving the house, so why shouldn't the mirror be intelligent? Smart Mirrors will eventually replace regular mirrors, providing users with both mirror and computer-assisted information services as technology improves. Because of the Raspberry Pi microcontroller cards aboard, the devices can connect to the internet, download data from the internet, and show that data on the mirror. Weather data, time and location data, current event data, and user data gathered from web services using a Raspberry Pi 3 microcontroller card are all included in the designed intelligent mirror system. The mirror will light up when the user steps in front of it. When thinking about this project, phrases like Smart Mirror, Interactive services, Raspberry Pi , and Web services come to mind.
