This qualitative study explored the benefits of implementing (international) teleconsultation in a Master of Science in Occupational Therapy (MSOT) curriculum. Twenty-one students provided supervised teleconsultative services to individuals with disabilities in Guatemala and were responsible for completing assessments, setting goals, and providing resources to address goals and improve quality of life.  Data were collected through student presentations and coded for relevant themes. Analysis revealed new learning in the areas of the occupational therapy process, cultural awareness, and technology. Three themes emerged:  Increased Understanding of Awareness of and Challenges to Working with People of Different Culture; Need for Adaptability and Flexibility as Practicing Clinicians; Emerging Role of Technology in Occupational Therapy. Based on results from this study, occupational therapy academicians should consider implementing similar programs into curricula and conduct related research in order to promote not only student learning, but also to advance the use of technology in occupational therapy practice.

Progress in information technology that is so fast is expected to improve the quality of education in Indonesia. In the world of information technology education can help and support the learning process. Especially now all the learning process activities can be done online. Progress in information technology must also be supported by quality human resources. In this case the teacher is very instrumental in the utilization of information technology in the world of education. Because the teacher is one of the education supervisors who will encourage the advancement of the quality of education in Indonesia. But in reality the quality of teachers in Indonesia is inadequate. There are still many teachers who cannot use information technology in learning especially for teachers who are senior or old. As teacher supervisors, they must improve the quality of their performance in using technology. To improve the ability of teachers to use technology, ongoing training is needed to use technology. The role of the head of the school as a supervisor is also needed, namely the principal is obliged to supervise, control, and approach the teacher in terms of the use of technology in the learning process.

Objectives: The competent use of technology is increasingly essential for quality of life in old age, hence autonomy, well-being, security, and participation. However, the potential of technology use for the large group of those with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) being at risk for losing their independence needs more research. In this work, we concentrate on the role of education and examine whether its impact for technology performance differs among those with and without MCI.

With a variety of technology-enabled tools and environments to choose from, it is increasingly difficult for educators to ascertain the factors that influence the quality of the students’ learning experience and hence make appropriate choices for the use of technology. In this paper, we discuss the role of two technologies — wikis and blogs — in teaching and learning. We provide case studies of two courses at the Open Umiversity, UK and empirical evidence of students’ experiences, perceptions, and expectations on these courses. We discuss the context of these courses and the usage of these technologies: The pedagogical underpinnings and the rationale for introducing these technologies; the intended learning outcomes from the usage of these tools; and the extent to which the activities based around these tools have enabled the intended learning and facilitated the learning process. We report on the social, usability, and pedagogical factors that have influenced the quality of students’ learning experience. The research reported in this paper aims to provide guidance to course designers and educators for choosing tools, particularly wikis and blogs, for their contexts and for creating value and generating a positive student experience to engender student satisfaction and retention.

<em>The purpose of this study is to analyze the role of technology in the production situation for competitiveness in small embroidery industries. It also relates to the analysis of choices for the use of technology and changes in the workforce situation. The study was conducted at the small embroidery industrial center in Bangil, Pasuruan, East Java, Indonesia. Data collection through in-depth interviews with informants business owners and workers. A qualitative phenomenological approach was used in this study. Data is processed and analyzed inductively. The findings are obtained that the technological needs in the production process cannot be avoided due to efforts to improve product competitiveness. The impact of these efforts forced business owners to rethink and manage their technology and workforce needs. The provision of technology is the main skill for workers so that workers also make efforts to improve the quality of embroidery with computer machines and complete orders on time. The implication of this research is expected to be able to provide enrichment in understanding the concept of sustainability of small businesses which is focused on the issue of choice of technology use and labor use.</em>

Lately with the native generation also called generation Y one finds more and more difficulty in imposing on the learners to use the platforms at a distance. It is a generation that comes today with new lifestyle habits different from ours. They learned to communicate, collaborate and share at a distance by forming communities around centers of interest. At the same time, we are talking more and more about e-Learning 2.0 which is based on Web 2.0. The latter provides generation Y with personalized environments for living in a remote society. The objective of this paper is to answer the following questions: what is the motivation to switch to e-Learning 2.0? What is the impact of this new way of training on the quality of learning? What is the role of the teacher in this new learning environment? What are the educational and technical challenges to be met?

This study aimed to investigate the perception of on-site students of the Accounting Sciences Program of a public university that adopted emergency remote learning during the Covid-19 pandemic in Brazil, highlighting the aspects that favor or hinder learning. A qualitative and descriptive study was carried out, with data collected through 4 focus groups with the participation of 80 students from an on-site undergraduate program in Accounting Sciences. The results indicate that the students perceive the structural factors (flexibility in the deadlines for delivery of activities), personal and collective factors (autonomy in the learning process) and didactic-pedagogical factors (use of active methodologies by the professor) as facilitating aspects of the remote education. As for the aspects that hinder learning, we highlight external factors (lack of internet access), individual factors (not maintaining a study routine and increased stress levels) and traditional remote education (monotonous videoconference classes). Finally, an optimistic vision for future trends is observed, with changes in the human aspects (change of paradigm of the student's role), institutional aspects (greater use of technology) and formative aspects (use of active methodologies). It is concluded that the use of active methodologies in the didactic and pedagogical aspect raises the participation of the number of students in remote classes and improves the quality of learning. This study can contribute to educational institutions that adopt emergency remote education for continuity of academic activities in periods of crisis, as well as to professors who plan their activities. It emphasizes the role of the professor and the importance of active methodologies in the development of knowledge.

Immigration checks are one part of the immigration control function which has a strategic role in maintaining security and upholding the country's sovereignty. Along with the times, the implementation of immigration checks has experienced several increasingly complex obstacles and challenges. The use of technology is seen as one of the solutions that can overcome these obstacles and challenges. The Directorate General of Immigration has currently implemented an innovation in the form of autogate which is considered to have provided various benefits, although from the beginning of its implementation, until now autogate has not been able to fully replace the role of immigration officers. This is because immigration checks using autogate are unable to carry out profiling, and interviews with prospective passers at the Immigration Checkpoint, but currently with the discovery of technology in the form of Artificial Intelligence, it is expected to be able to improve the quality of immigration checks with autogate.
