Distance Learning Environment

Newer social media have brought about attention deficits brought on by a flood of distractions, such as text messaging, blogging, and browsing on mobile devices and laptops brought into the classroom. It appears that online learning places the same demands on learners' ability to remain on-task and focused. While following up on assessing the benefits of live satellite broadcasts from remote areas of the world, the researchers made several interesting discoveries about the nature of the design of the content management system that delivered the classroom experience. The interface included a means by which students could synchronously chat during the live broadcasts. The ability to multitask appeared to increase participants' engagement in the class and their sense of social presence. The researchers present their results based on the results of a pre and post participant questionnaire to determine how best to sustain student engagement and interaction in a distance-learning environment.

Distance-learning has become widespread around the world. Many training areas such as engineering require the acquisition of practical rather than theoretical knowledge. In this paper, a framework is presented in the form of four pilot projects which is used for practical laboratory measurements in a distance-learning environment. Four demonstration devices consisting of an induction motor drivetrain, a magnetorheological clutch as well as a rolling resistance and an ultrasonicsensor were built and several examples of measurements presented.The system, based on accessible and user-friendly hardware, is cost-effective, simple to program and can be adapted to suit any application.

The success of Barack Obama’s 2008 U.S. presidential campaign led politicians and voters all over the world to pay attention to social media. Including Donald Trump for his upcoming 2020 re-election, many politicians around the world have used social media for their political campaigns. While some social media can deliver information in various forms (i.e., video, audio, and interactive content), some popular ones, such as Twitter, are still focused mostly on plain text messaging. With political marketing using simple text messages via social media, there is a need to examine ways of creating messages that ultimately help shape voters’ perception of politicians and eventually win the election. Based on communication science, this study attempts to test the limited capacity model of motivated mediated message processing by examining whether this model can be applied to the simplest form of mediated message, which is plain text. In order to do so, structural features of text messages exchanged on social media engaged in political campaigns, namely linguistic formality and network-mediated human interactivity, are manipulated in an experiment. Findings suggest that linguistic formality and human interaction in plain text messages influence perceived friendliness, truthfulness, and dependability of the message source (politicians), as well as the receivers’ (constituents’) behavioral intent to vote for the message source in an upcoming election. This implies that politicians should pay more attention on sustainable political marketing through appropriate manipulation of structural features in social media messages.

This word is aimed towards developing a Repository and each Engine for alumni of a college, which is of importance to an institution. The Alumni tracking system is a mobile based application that can be accessed throughout the World. The Alumni Tracking System provides the way in which alumni can stay connected with college which has been very important part of their memory. Alumni Tracking System does not connect only college with its alumni but also it connects current students of college and its alumni. So that the bond between existing students and pass-out students will become strong and there’ll be direct flow of data between them. Alumni Tracking System have features for both existing student and alumni like Content Management System, Discussion Groups (Forums), Career Center, GPS Tracking, etc. We understand the importance of "staying connected" & therefore structured a portal which is equipped to let you connect, build credibility and expand upon the Graduates and to manage the alumni information.

SAP Learning Journeys are a key element for providing a guiding path and framework for SAP users and implementation professionals to learn and stay current in their SAP product expertise. They also form a double bridge between the worlds of learning and technical documentation. On one hand, the Learning Journeys themselves are stored and maintained in the DITA content management system used for technical documentation, and then rendered both in the SAP Learning Hub and SAP Help Portal. On the other, the Learning Journeys allow the inclusion and referencing of technical documentation content into the learning offering modelled with the journeys. In this paper we will provide an account of how SAP Learning Journeys are managed and rendered, and what their evolving role is in the world of user enablement.

<span>Sports center booking system need to be more systematic to increase its efficiency. The World Wide Web (WWW) had been a revolution and it has been utilized to be tools of automation in many applications, including managing booking and payment system in this area of services.  However, existing system needs an ID booking to book the facilities at the Court Centre and does not delegate any confirmation to users on their booking. This paper aims at integrating stripe payment method by using the WordPress platform where it is one of the content management system (CMS) by using XAMPP. MySQL has been used to store the database while PHP and HTML have been designed to generate QR code. This system was designed based on some function needed for the new member, staffs, and students. The procedure is that the new members will register and pay their members fees. Existing student and staff will just need to sign in using their ID Number. This system has provided a booking system which presented the availability of time and date as well as the payment for the new members. Upon booking and payment, email and QR code are given to the user after the confirmation booking by an administrator.  The result shows the increase of efficiency after implementing the new features on the web system which shows 86.66% of increases in term of using the website to book the facilities at the Sports Centre from the existing system.</span>

Abstract This report summarises the activities and achievements of the Eurasian Dry Grassland Group (EDGG) from January 2018 through July 2019. During the reported period, two Eurasian Grassland Conference (EGCs) took place: the 15th EGC in Sulmona, Italy, and the 16th EGC in Graz, Austria. The 11th and 12th EDGG Field Workshops studied vegetation diversity patterns in the inner alpine valleys of Austria and Switzerland, while the 13th Field Workshop was organised in Armenia. The formerly electronic newsletter of EDGG (Bulletin of the Eurasian Dry Grassland) was transformed into a peer-reviewed international journal, called Palaearctic Grasslands, which now is attracting both scientific and photographic contributions. Furthermore, the EDGG homepage was re-constructed with a new design and content management system. The EDGG has also finalised two grassland-related Special Features during the past 1.5 years in the international journals Tuexenia and Hacquetia, and contributed with eight chapters to the book Grasslands of the World: Diversity, Management and Conservation. The vegetation-plot database GrassPlot, containing standardised multi-scale data from Palaearctic grasslands and closely connected with EDGG, has developed well, as did some other regional and national grassland-focused databases.
