Cloud computing is rising speedily with applications in approximately any area, together with pharmaceutical education. E-learning systems generally need several hardware and software resources. There are a lot of educational institutions that cannot have the funds for such investments and cloud computing is the most excellent answer for this. This paper provides the optimistic impact of using ...

One goal of the Computing and Information Technology Interactive Digital Educational Library (CITIDEL) is to maximize the number of computing-related resources available to computer science scholars and practitioners through it. In this paper, we describe a set of experiments designed to help this goal by adding to CITIDEL a sub-collection of computing related electronic theses and dissertation...

Humanities Computing is an emergent field. The activities described as ‘Humanities Computing’ continue to expand in number and sophistication, yet no concrete definition of the field exists, and there are few academic departments that specialize in this area. Most introspection regarding the role, meaning, and focus of ‘‘Humanities Computing’’ has come from a practical and pragmatic perspective...

This paper presents a propose for support learning in a pervasive computing environment. It is composed of educational service agents (ESA) and a pervasive personal pedagogical agent (P3A). ESA will support educational applications using the pervasive environment ISAM. Agents will be accessed through P3A, which shall always be with the learner (the agent moves to devices that the learner is usi...
