Our goal in this article is to understand how scholars — who need to collect, organize, analyze, and present large amounts of information in a short period of time — can use mobile information and communication technology (ICT) to work more efficiently and effectively. We argue that wireless fidelity (wi–fi) and universal serial bus (USB) technologies have made it possible for social scientists to work more productively outside of their own offices, but that many lack the kinds of practical knowledge needed to do so. We discuss ways in which understanding and using some basic and generally inexpensive ICT devices can help the “new mobile scholar” take full advantage of emerging ICTs.

ABSTRAK Penelitian ini berangkat dari masalah kurang optimalnya pemanfaatan media pembelajaran berbasis Teknologi Informasi dan Komunikasi (TIK) sebagai upaya dalam meningkatkan pemahaman siswa pada mata pelajaran PAI. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan efektivitas pemanfaatan media pembelajaran berbasis Teknologi Informasi dan Komunikasi (TIK) dalam meningkatkan pemahaman siswa pada mata pelajaran PAI di SMP N 1 Lembang Jaya dan kendala yang dihadapi guru dalam mengefektifkan pemanfaatan media berbasis Teknologi Informasi dan Komunikasi (TIK) pada mata pelajaran PAI. Jenis penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode deskriptif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa efektivitas Pemanfaatan media pembelajaran berbasis Teknologi Informasi dan Komunikasi (TIK) dalam meningkatkan pemahaman siswa pada mata pelajaran PAI di SMP N 1 Lembang Jaya belum sepenuhnya berjalan efektif. Berdasarkan indikator pengukuran efektivitas Media Pembelajaran berbasis Teknologi Informasi dan Komunikasi (TIK) menurut Smaldino bahwa dari kesemua indikator hanya 50 % yang efektif. Hal ini dibuktikan dengan temuan peneliti dilapangan membuktikan bahwa indikator pengukuran efektivitas Media berbasis Teknologi Informasi dan Komunikasi (TIK) seperti ; keterlibatan siswa, ketepatan dalam pemilihan media, mampu membantu siswa memahami hal-hal yang bersifat abstrak, ketersediaan media, dapat memberikan pengalaman belajar yang berarti belum efektif. Adapun kendala dalam mengefektifkan Media pembelajaran berbasis TIK dalam meningkatkan pemahaman siswa pada mata PAI di SMP N 1 Lembang Jaya yaitu kendala yang berasal dari luar dikarenakan kurangnya ketersediaan media sehingga pemakaiannya terbatas serta listrik yang tiba-tiba mati. Kata kunci: Efektivitas, Media Pembelajaran Berbasis Teknologi Informasi dan Komunikasi (TIK), pemahaman siswa Abstract This study departed from the problem of less than optimal use of learning media based on Information and Communication Technology (ICT) as an effort to improve students' understanding of Islamic Education subjects. This study aims to describe the effectiveness of the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) -based learning media in increasing student understanding of Islamic education subjects at SMP N 1 Lembang Jaya and the obstacles faced by teachers in making effective use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) -based media in the eyes. PAI lessons. This type of research uses a qualitative approach with descriptive methods. The results showed that the effectiveness of the use of learning media based on Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in increasing students' understanding of Islamic Education subjects at SMP N 1 Lembang Jaya has not been fully effective. Based on indicators of measuring the effectiveness of Information and Communication Technology-based Learning Media (ICT), according to Smaldino, of all indicators only 50% are effective. This is evidenced by the findings of researchers in the field proving that indicators of measuring the effectiveness of Information and Communication Technology-based Media such as; student involvement, accuracy in selecting media, being able to help students understand abstract matters, the availability of media, can provide a meaningful learning experience that has not been effective. The constraints in making ICT-based learning media effective in improving students' understanding of the PAI eyes at SMP N 1 Lembang Jaya are constraints that come from outside due to the lack of availability of media so that their use is limited and the electricity suddenly goes out. Keywords: Effectiveness, Learning Media Based on Information and Communication Technology (ICT), student understanding

We propose that Information and Communication Technology should deliver a new experience to the user. We call this experience Kansei Experience. To deliver it we advocate the reliance on a new computing paradigm called cultural computing. Within this paradigm, we develop the concept of Kansei Media and how it could be implemented via Kansei Mediated Interaction. Kansei Media is about sharing implicit knowledge such as feelings, emotions and moods. We aim for a Kansei Experience, rendered by Kansei Media, which relates to reality, and enhances it to enlighten the user. To do so we investigate the aesthetics of the experience we wish to produce. Finally, to develop the concept of Kansei Mediated Experience we refer two cultures (Western and Eastern) and use famous stories from both as means of delivering guidelines for the implementation of Kansei Experience.
