Earlier Application

Information and communication Technology has become a very significant means to support organization activities to reach its target. However, there is still not enough coordination and integration that makes the work proficient. This paper presents a model of classroom that makes several smart devices such as laptops, projectors connected to Bluetooth or WiFi within proximity area in order to establish communication between students and teachers within the smart environment. Also, the gateway manages classroom smart devices by automatic detection and connectivity and it serves as an application execution platform. The software that is used here is called Beacon with which we can train the students and teachers online. The earlier application of Beacon is only through the direct interaction with students and teachers which is same as the traditional way of teaching. But, here in this paper the trainer need not come into the classroom to guide students or to clear the doubts physically. The trainer communicates through the smart devices even though being so far from the classroom through WiFi. The authority can send circulars, alerts, notifications, and study materials to the students and the faculty can share the notes and case studies to the students whenever unavailable to meet the students directly. Whenever the student enters into the classroom, auto check-in happens and the attendance of the students is marked into the system and this list is centrally accessed by the faculty and authority. Thus, the time consumption of faculty is saved and the classroom becomes very smart with this implementation.

Abstract Background The rapid dissemination of smart devices within the internet of things (IoT) is developing toward automatic emergency alerts which are transmitted from machine to machine without human interaction. However, apart from individual projects concentrating on single types of accidents, there is no general methodology of connecting the standalone information and communication technology (ICT) systems involved in an accident: systems for alerting (e.g., smart home/car/wearable), systems in the responding stage (e.g., ambulance), and in the curing stage (e.g., hospital). Objectives We define the International Standard Accident Number (ISAN) as a unique token for interconnecting these ICT systems and to provide embedded data describing the circumstances of an accident (time, position, and identifier of the alerting system). Materials and Methods Based on the characteristics of processes and ICT systems in emergency care, we derive technological, syntactic, and semantic requirements for the ISAN, and we analyze existing standards to be incorporated in the ISAN specification. Results We choose a set of formats for describing the embedded data and give rules for their combination to generate an ISAN. It is a compact alphanumeric representation that is generated easily by the alerting system. We demonstrate generation, conversion, analysis, and visualization via representational state transfer (REST) services. Although ISAN targets machine-to-machine communication, we give examples of graphical user interfaces. Conclusion Created either locally by the alerting IoT system or remotely using our RESTful service, the ISAN is a simple and flexible token that enables technological, syntactic, and semantic interoperability between all ICT systems in emergency care.

Technical Framework

The use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has grown enormously in the last decade with computers and smart devices becoming indispensable in tertiary students' study practices, especially in distance education. There is, however, limited documented research on humanizing distance education in terms of studying the ways educators and students use ICT in the process of teaching and learning within this context. This chapter thus provides a background context of the existing studies on distance education as well as the distance education in relation to ICT use. It then examines the degree to which connections between social and technological elements are interrelated in distance education by highlighting the challenges of humanizing distance education. The chapter then outlines a possibility for addressing this challenge, by introducing the socio-technical framework formulated by Bostrom and Heinen (1977a) in researching distance education. The chapter concludes with future research suggestions.

This study discusses the communication model and assistance pattern of information and communication technology (ICT) literacy for students conducted by teachers in SDI Lukman al Hakim Hidayatullah Mataram. This study is a descriptive qualitative research using participatory observation and in-depth interviews for two months. The study finding shows there are three models of assistance in ICT literacy, ie individual, group, and synergistic teacher-guardian. While the communication models used by teachers are linear and transactional communication models. By utilizing those models, ICT usage in this school has contributed in positive and significant way to support the process of increasing knowledge, learning experience, and internalization of students' tauhid.

Control Failure

The development of information and communication technology and smart technology in modern society makes daily life very convenient for modern people, while also causing various side effects. These side effects typically appear in various forms, including cyberbullying, Internet addiction, personal information infringement, and the distribution of harmful information. Especially with the development and distribution of smart devices, smartphone overdependence is very serious, especially among teenagers. The purpose of this study is to analyse the causes of overdependence on smartphones in Korean teenagers and also to suggest solutions. The overdependence of smartphones is represented by three phenomena: self-control failure, salience, and serious consequences. A thorough statistical analysis showed that self-control failure was the largest among the three phenomena of overdependence on smartphones, followed by salience and serious consequences. Teenager smartphone over-dependents personally try to solve smartphone overdependence through strengthening smartphone self-control capability and alternative leisure activities. However, both their main and desired leisure activities are smartphone use, and they want other alternative activities, but they cannot escape using smartphones. It is hoped that the results of this study will help follow-up research in the future along with policy directions on teenagers’ overdependence on smartphones.

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.
