in this paper, we propose a unified and interactive mobile learning (M-Learning) model to help with expanding and spreading education in the Arab Homeland countries. The model utilizes a new competitive spot beam satellite communication technology, which enables efficient channel allocation, where communication channels can be allocated to specific and precise areas. The proposed model is refer...

Following the recent advances in both technology and social interaction, implementation of interactivity to large lecture rooms presents itself as a promising new methodology to improve the learning and teaching process in academia. Namely, based on the underlying ideas of Web 2.0, learners should be able to collect and share online resources during a lecture, additional communication channels ...

Multimedia Over IP (MOIP) is one of IP-based realtime communication that has been gaining popularity in recent years. Quality-of-service (QoS) is still one of the major challenges in real-time communication over IP networks. Excessive delay severely impairs communication interactivity, while packet loss results in glitches in audio and poor picture quality and frozen frames in video. In this pa...

We study the problem of non-interactive correlation distillation (NICD). Suppose Alice and Bob each has a string, denoted by A = a0a1 · · · an−1 and B = b0b1 · · · bn−1, respectively. Furthermore, for every k = 0, 1, ..., n − 1, (ak, bk) is independently drawn from a distribution N , known as the “noise mode”. Alice and Bob wish to “distill” the correlation non-interactively, i.e., they wish to...

Interactivity is the key characteristic in interactive whiteboard technology (IWT). This study aims to provide a better understanding of communication behavior in IWT. This research’s objective is to investigate the effects of the interactivity level on a user’s attitude and intention toward the use of IWT. As a result, we cite the technology acceptance model (TAM) to support this research. How...

Many educators have attempted to implement a blog in educational contexts to enhance the communication environment among students and teachers. However, it is uncertain as to why traditional computer-mediated communication (CMC) applications should be replaced with blogs. It is time to comprehensively explore the effects of educational blogs by considering the CMC tools. This paper reviews prio...

Skilfully applied, interactivity is an ingredient that may boost engagement and enhance the performance experience of a young audience. However, it can also lead to confusion, banalization even embarrassment. What are parameters for be experienced as meaningful, when unproductive? 
 In this article I shall address how conceptions artistic quality challenged by contemporary practices audien...
