Introduction Online learning, also known as distance learning or online learning, has become a new and successful means of receiving an education in a highly technologically enhanced environment (Regan, Evmenova, Baker, Jerome, Spencer, Lawson, & Werner, 2012). Kaymak and Horzum (2013) defined online learning as using Internet technology to gain knowledge and skills through the use of synchronous and asynchronous learning tools. Allen and Seaman (2013) stated that about 6.7 million students attending
I: Introduction The period of examination on whether online learning is the way to go or not has expired. Regardless of what previous studies on online learning have found, online learning is here. The demand for it led educational organizations to adopt it. The revolution of technology facilitated implementing it. Its convenience, flexibility, and other advantages made it a favorable learning form. The existence of this learning should lead researchers to explore the factors that help in improving
The use of optical fiber has tremendously increased network bandwidth. The data used in video-on-demand (VOD), distant learning, distant diagnosis, video conferences, and many other applications have popped up one after another in recent years. They all require that the same data be sent to multiple recipients. This operation is called multicasting. Introduction: Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) is the mostly implemented in high speed networks. ATM is the transmission system for CCITT's next-generation
In 1999, Mark Bonner of PricewaterhouseCoopers accurately predicted, “Online learning will rapidly become one of the most cost-effective ways to educate the world’s expanding workforce.” Fifteen years later, his statement is truer than ever, as the price of going to a four-year university skyrockets, and technology required to get the same degree online becomes more available. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, from 2000 to 2010, the average cost for undergraduate tuition

Frame Relay and Leased Lines In networking there are many options in having data transferred from one location to another. Two of which include frame relay and leased lines. Frame relay is a communication method that transfers data by dividing information into packets and sending them over a virtual network. Frame relay is a difficult process to understand and to accomplish. Leased lines, however, is the permanent connection between two stations. Leased lines are simpler to understand and
Ethernet and ATM: Which Will Prevail? Abstract Sending data through the internet efficiently has always posed many problems. The two major technologies used, Ethernet and Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), have done an admirable job of porting data, voice and video from one point to another. However, they both fall short in differing areas; neither has been able to present the "complete" package to become the single, dominant player in the internet market. They both have dominant areas
Introduction The purpose of this papers it to examine in detail the operation of one of the wide area network that we discussed in class. This paper discusses the difference between frame relay networks and other point to point networks, advantages, addressing schemes, and different protocols supported. The paper will explain virtual circuits briefly before moving to its other characteristics because they are the key to understanding frame relay concept in general. Other than virtual circuits, we
advantages over traditional face-to-face interactions. Simonson, Smaldino, Albright, & Zvacek (2003) maintain that Web-based courses are available at the learners’ convenience, are usually self paced, contain current information, accommodate a variety of learning styles, maintains equity for all learners, and can even save money in transportation and travel time. Another group of researchers, (Sunal, Sunal, Odell, & Sundberg, 2003) acquired data showing student satisfaction with the ability to communicate
A Brief History Of ATMs ATMs have been around for almost a quarter of a century, but fees, especially double fees, for using them are a more recent phenomenon. When ATMs were introduced in the 1970s, they were set up only inside or immediately outside their banks' branch offices. They were seen by banks largely as a way of saving money, by reducing the need for tellers. Even with the relatively expensive computer technology of the late '70s and early 80s, the cost of processing deposits and withdrawals

Many years’ people have been trying to figure out who actually invented the ATM ideas or machines. There are six developers’ that are being tossed around by past researchers of who was the originator of this exciting technology. The six developer’s names are as follows; Luther George Simjian, John Shepherd-Barron, James Goodfellow, Don Wetzel, John D. White and Jairus Larson. Luther George Simjian was famous for the earlier development creation of ATM science in the past1930’s that was not a solid
Interationists on the other hand believe that learning takes place when students interact with each other and the teacher. The founder of the theory, Long (1983, 1996) believed that acquisition of vocabulary takes place when meanings are “negotiated”. This is considered when students start working with each other and start to go through cognitive process of checking what they have learned, the meaning of words and looking for clarification. Beginning Another theory is Vygotsky’s (1978) theory.
formats in classes all over the globe with the aim of developing intercultural competence and foreign language skills, such as e-tandem, virtual online exchanges, collaborative online international learning, and many others. According to Helm (2009), telecollaboration is “an approach to intercultural learning that uses internet technology as a tool to facilitate intercultural communication between classes of learners in different countries.” Numerous studies have shown that telecollaboration has been
of being a non traditional student. Being a non traditional student mean having access to a virtual campus at any time of the day or night. Some online universities are synchronous and other are asynchronous. Synchronous is were students appear online to complete the assignment together and asynchronous is just the opposite. I enjoy the discussions and debates with students but for working adults or stay at home parent this can cause difficulties. Non Traditional Students have access to V Camp
reworked the definition of distance education over the last century. Schlosser and Simonson (2002) outlined four elements that define distance education: that it is associated with an institution, that the teacher and learner are separated, that the learning is done via interactive communication media and that these media connect the teachers with the learners and the course material. Schlosser and Simonson (2002) also described the definitions of distance education described by other researchers. One

The study highlight the Pros and Cons of distance learning and suggestions for maximizing it advantages was discussed. Introduction The term distance learning are interchangeably use as distance education, distributed learning, correspondent learning, web based learning and on-line learning. This and many
Introduction: Distance learning or distance education is not a new concept. They are different definitions for distance education. All of them have one thing in common: facilitating learning. Based on Nipper[] they are 3 generations of distance learning. Print technology is the first generation where the technology of printing press along with postal services is widely used for hundreds of years and known as correspondence learning. In the second generation, broadcasting power of radio and television
earners are expected to participate in collaborative classroom activities .They are supposed to be active participants in the language learning process .Hu (2002) asserts that the roles of students inside the classroom are supposed to be “those of negotiators for meaning, communicators, discoverers, and contributors of knowledge and information” (pp.95-96).Similarly, Mangubhi et al. (2004) assert in their description of students and teacher’s roles in CLT classroom that students are strongly engaged
How does group work contribute to adult learning? “Simply belonging to a group does not necessarily lead to the activation of these positive processes” (Magni, Paolino, Cappetta, & Proserpio, 2013). Through each of the learning theories, we have seen that there needs to be involvement of the learner in order for learning to actually take place. “In a group-based training setting, group members learn from each other how to overcome the obstacles that they themselves and others erect to hinder the
