...Term Paper: Students’ Self-Service Website for Mobile Devices 6/17/2013 Professor: Kiran Chittargi CIS375 Mobility is on the rise in this current era and it is important to provide access to products for consumers as conveniently as possible. The use of smartphones with high speed data capabilities made it easier to view regular desktop websites without much hassle, but the issue occurs with rendering a website built for a PC on a much smaller screen of a mobile device. Another major issue is that, although the mobile devices are much powerful than they were, they still have compatibility issues with PC websites. For example, Apple’s iOS devices lack flash compatibilities, which is an integral part of many desktop websites today. This lack of compatibility calls for a new and much simpler implementation of an existing desktop website for accessing through a mobile device without much clutter. Building a website specifically for a mobile device allows users to access the website even when they are away from a computer and have an important task at hand. The target audience for such a website is the general people who use it on a daily basis which comprises mostly of students and instructors. Accessing the website through a mobile device comfortably will help the users a great deal. Most students who access the website are fulltime working students and lead a completely busy life, and their need would be able to access the website on their time without much hassle. The...

Each and every technology has its own advantages and disadvantages for students and mobile phone is one of them. Buying a mobile phone for your kid is easy, but think twice before buy that for them. In this current world, mobile phones are really essential for everyone’s life. But, it doesn’t mean that you can’t live a life without mobile phone. When we talk about school students, having a mobile phone is 50-50 chances of advantage and disadvantage. It’s all up to the student who uses the mobile phone. A student can improve themselves with the help of mobile phone; meanwhile the same student can spoil their life with the help of same mobile phone. Mobile phone is a wireless handheld device that allows users to make a call and send text messages among the other creatures. It’s all depending on how they use mobile phones. (Worthofread, 2015) As cell phones become increasingly prevalent among both adults and youth, many schools face an important question of policy -- whether or not to ban the phones on school grounds. Arguments both for and against allowing cell phones at schools tend to boil down to appropriate use and the effects of the phone's presence. Educators looking to make a decision for or against phones in the classroom generally need to look at both the positives and the negatives about allowing such devices. (Contributing Writers, 2010) According to (Green, 2013) Mobile phones has made...

Outdoor media is a form of mass media that comprises billboards, signs or placards placed inside and outside of commercial buildings, sports stadiums, shops and buses. Other outdoor media include flying billboards (signs in tow of airplanes), blimps, and skywriting.[2] Public speaking and event organising can also be considered as forms of mass media.[3] The digital media comprises both Internet and mobile mass communication. Internet media provides many mass media services, such as email, websites, blogs, and internet based radio and television. Many other mass media outlets have a presence on the web, by such things as having TV ads that link to a website, or distributing a QR Code in print or outdoor media to direct a mobile user to a website. In this way, they can utilise the easy accessibility that the Internet has, and the outreach that Internet affords, as information can easily be broadcast to many different regions of the world simultaneously and cost-efficiently. The organizations that control these technologies, such as television stations or publishing companies, are also known as the mass media.[4][5][need quotation to verify] Contents * 1 Issues with definition * 1.1 Characteristics * 1.2 Mass vs. mainstream * 1.3 Mass vs. local * 2 Forms of mass media * 2.1 Broadcast...

...E-Learning: Emergence of the Profession Jason Drysdale, Jackie Flynt, and Shauna Hannon-Johnson 24 July 2011 The e-learning profession has grown leaps and bounds over the past two decades. Despite being slow to take hold, e-learning is now rapidly increasing in universities: “Today, almost all institutions of higher education offer some form of distance teaching and learning in the U.S.” (Saba, 2008). The historical timelines of instructional design and technology (ID&T) and distance education inform practices in place today. In this paper we track the development of these two traditions, each of which has contributed to current e-learning practice. Instructional Design and Technology: Parent Field Instructional design and technology (ID&T) is the term Robert Reiser (2001) uses for the field also known as instructional design, instructional technology, and educational technology. The core of ID&T revolves around two related practices: use of media for instruction and use of systematic design processes—known as instructional design or instructional systems design (ISD) (Reiser, 2001). We briefly trace below the development of these two strands of the field. Instructional media has been used since the early 1900s in school museums with movable exhibits. These museums appeared first in St. Louis in 1905, primarily using visual media such as photos and slides. This was known as the visual education movement. Movies were used, as per Thomas Edison’s expectation, beginning in 1910...

...September 2013 Mobile Learning: Transforming Education, Engaging Students, and Improving Outcomes Darrell M. West INTRODUCTION E Darrell M. West is vice president and director of Governance Studies and holds the Douglas Dillon Chair. He is founding director of the Center for Technology Innovation at Brookings. West’s studies include technology policy, electronic government, and mass media. ducation is at a critical juncture in the United States. It is vital for workforce development and economic prosperity, yet is in need of serious reform. American education was designed for agrarian and industrial eras, and does not provide all the skills needed for a 21st century economy.1 This creates major problems for young people about to enter the laborforce. Mobile learning represents a way to address a number of our educational problems. Devices such as smart phones and tablets enable innovation and help students, teachers, and parents gain access to digital content and personalized assessment vital for a post-industrial world. Mobile devices, used in conjunction with near universal 4G/3G wireless connectivity, are essential tools to improve learning for students. As noted by Irwin Jacobs, the founding chairman of Qualcomm, Inc., “always on, always connected mobile devices in the hands of students has the potential to dramatically improve educational outcomes.”2 This paper, part of our Mobile Economy Project, looks at ways that mobile devices with cellular connectivity...

The related literature starts with the good and important effects of different gadgets used in learning areas and goes on with the possible effects that might happen to Students when technology is being used extensively. On the later part of the chapter are the gathered related studies and articles done by various researchers. Foreign Literature Jessica White (2005) said that, technology has completely changed the scope of education in America. Most states require a technology aspect to their school improvements plans. They have embraced the idea that using technology in their classroom makes the subject anything from math to art-more accessible to many kinds of students. Educators, administrators, parents, and students are so well-versed in technology that it has become norm in even the most economically disadvantaged schools. She also stated that controversy exist about some students having access too much information. Some internet sites are not monitored by educational sources. Students who have not been taught the proper way to research on the internet might make a research hypothesis based on a website whose information is untrustworthy. Educators should be cautious and explain exactly what their expectations to their students are. Plagiarizing-detection software checks that students aren’t stealing information in using it as their own research. However, this software wasn’t available when much of the controversy first became an issue. According to the National...
