learning should lead researchers to explore the factors that help in improving the quality of it rather than examining its validity. As the online learning environment brought new kinds of communications between instructors and their students and among students themselves , it lacks direct human communication and the feeling of belonging to a community. This feeling encourages students to participate in the learning activities which lead to completing the course and the potential of increasing the
Advantages and Disadvantages of Web-based Courses There is no doubt that Web-based courses have distinct 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
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 colleges and universities across the United States were successfully enrolled in at least one online course in 2011. There is an increased interest in online
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
In the last twenty years, internet has become the driving force for the development of our society. It significantly changed our life in many ways, such as online education. In 2002, more than 1.6 million college students took online courses and unsurprisingly, this number almost tripled in 2008 (Allen and Seaman, 2010). Queen and Lewis found (2011), “74% of school districts with distance education programs planned to expand online offerings over the next 3 years.” However, although many students

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 ISDN, Broadband ISDN (B-ISDN). B-ISDN is designed to provide subscriber communication services over a wide range of bit rates from megabits to several gigabits. The primary goal in routing multicast connections is to make
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
As a substitute of using the full range and dynamics of in-office face-to-face exchange, they now rely on a repertoire of special communication networks facilitated by modern technologies, such as e-mails, faxes, phone calls, teleconferences, and virtual meetings as a result of the team being geographically dispersed. Moreover, this new type of team uses asynchronous technology to communicate amongst the team because of the teams perchance being in different time zones. The purpose of this paper

The first means of electronic communication in the 1980’s was the pager and later the mobile cell phone changed everything. But in the span of 10-15 years, the brick phone became a distant memory and handheld touch screen cell phones became the new hot commodity. These technology advancements made it possible not only for mass communication, but also for the efficiency of communicating at the touch of your fingertips. But as long as I can remember, technology had never affected me as a child because
protocol). • Transfer— Defines how exchange interactions take place. It can be done in two ways- by transferring server-to-server (direct) or via a Web browser interface (indirect). • Authentication—Mechanism by which sender and receiver identity of a communication exchange is established reliably. This is done using SSL V.3 and digital certificates.

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
Concept of “Computer-mediated communication” and “interpersonal relationship” According to Martin Buber‘s I-thou philosophy, it is only through respectful dialogue that relationships grow. By being able to be true to our self and at the same time allowing others to be equally honest as we engage in dialogue with each other, we build intimacy and therefore create stronger interpersonal bonds. Buber’s perception encourages to “clearly expressing your own ideas but listening well and honoring those
Mikaela Labar COMM 273 Dr. Romanelli Reflection 3 Mediated Communication, Technology and Dating The continued advancement of information and communication technologies has virtualized interpersonal communication process in various ways. Initial definitions of Interpersonal Communication indicated that the interaction/s needs to be face-to-face, but now with technological innovations the concept is getting disputed. In terms of dating (within my age group), prevalent usage of dating websites
from IM perspective The organisational communication studies the correlation between organisational behaviour and the communication practices there in. It is greatly involved in studying the symbolic use of language, how organisations perceive it and their goals . The discipline of organisational communication focuses on studying the communication processes keeping in mind the organisation context. Organisational communication scholars argue that all communication is part of an integrated whole. The
educational technology will require two-way communication in the virtual community. Author of Virtually in the Middle defines the virtual community as a “Web-based communication forum. It is an interactive electronic space on the Internet in which diverse individuals can raise questions, share ideas, plan activities, congregate, and learn. This kind of dialogue and communication that would occur in this kind of virtual community is referred to as “asynchronous” or “delayed” conferencing, which is a
