In order to increase the number of American degree recipients in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), academics must continually develop ways to improve students’ interest, retention, and success in fields like engineering. Prior researchers have studied the use of educational technology as a way to improve student outcomes. Previous scholars have also investigated students’...

Using modern, electronic technology to promote the culture and worldview of technology producers and to subjugate its consumers is the gist of what McPhail (2006) calls electronic colonialism theory (ECT). As an example of electronic technology, Internet-mediated English educational materials are rapidly growingbut they do not appear to have been critically analyzed in terms of their potential ...

If the adult learners are engaged, they will most likely remain the duration of the course, ensuring retention in online courses. Currently c...

Today’s World Wide Web (WWW) is known as Web 2.0. It includes social networking sites, blogs, wikis, video sharing sites, hosted services, web applications, mashups and folksonomies. It also includes E-learning Management system. It is a process in which we use the electronic medium to access the defined set of applications, cand processes. Research works in the field of E-Learning are represen...

conclusions the sophistication of electronic prescription and integration with ehr will become a reality, if all its stakeholders collaborate in developing fast and secure electronic prescription systems. it is plausible that the required infrastructure should be provided for implementation of the national integrated electronic prescription systems in countries without the system. given the bar...
