In this modern Information Society, the ways of social interaction and cultural and economic development are being rapidly altered, due to the new technologies’ evolution. Connectivity enables the exchange of information and knowledge between individuals and communities, enhancing human development in a global sphere. The main driving force behind the change in the way people interact is therefore education through access to knowledge. The exchange of information between people allows us to reflect on the stage in which the communities are in comparison with the others, resulting in a qualified view of the world in which we live and to which we want to go. However, in particular in developing countries, not all people have access to ICTs, being left out of this new Information Society and therefore without any possibility of choice, including to be able to choose another growth and development path. This lack of access to the Information Society ensues from the difficulties in the provision of telecommunication services, resulting from the economic incapacity or technical inability to implement it. Therefore, it is necessary to think alternatives to the current forms of telecommunication service provision, either through proposals 1 ITU Vision: “An information society, empowered by the interconnected world, where telecommunication/information and communication technologies enable and accelerate social, economic and environmentally sustainable growth and development for everyone”.

  • A Letter to the FCC [PDF]
    Before the FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION Washington, DC 20554 In the Matter of ) ) Amendment of Part 0, 1, 2, 15 and 18 of the ) ET Docket No. 15­170 Commission’s Rules regarding Authorization ) Of Radio frequency Equipment ) ) Request for the Allowance of Optional ) RM­11673 Electronic Labeling for Wireless Devices ) Summary The rules laid out in ET Docket No. 15­170 should not go into effect as written. They would cause more harm than good and risk a significant overreach of the Commission’s authority. Specifically, the rules would limit the ability to upgrade or replace firmware in commercial, off­the­shelf home or small­business routers. This would damage the compliance, security, reliability and functionality of home and business networks. It would also restrict innovation and research into new networking technologies. We present an alternate proposal that better meets the goals of the FCC, not only ensuring the desired operation of the RF portion of a Wi­Fi router within the mandated parameters, but also assisting in the FCC’s broader goals of increasing consumer choice, fostering competition, protecting infrastructure, and increasing resiliency to communication disruptions. If the Commission does not intend to prohibit the upgrade or replacement of firmware in Wi­Fi ​ ​ devices, the undersigned would welcome a clear statement of that intent. Introduction We recommend the FCC pursue an alternative path to ensuring Radio Frequency (RF) compliance from Wi­Fi equipment. We understand there are significant concerns regarding existing users of the Wi­Fi ​ spectrum, and a desire to avoid uncontrolled change. However, we most strenuously advise against prohibiting changes to firmware of devices containing radio components, and furthermore advise against allowing non­updatable devices into the field.

For the development of the analysis framework we have worked in close collaboration with a few of the Community Networks (CNs) that are most representative and more relevant, one way or another, to the netCommons project. This report builds on and extends D1.1 (M6) with further elements of commons theory, more details and coverage of additional CNs, a mapping of CN web sites to show the inter-relations among them, a typology of international CNs, and a expanded taxonomy for comparison and typology.

    Information Systems Education Journal (ISEDJ) 13 (3) ISSN: 1545-679X May 2015 Empowering Freshmen with Technology Skills: Wireless Routers William VanderClock [email protected] Bentley University Waltham, MA 02452, USA Abstract Most freshmen taking required, introductory information systems courses do not understand why they are required to take such courses and can’t imagine that they will learn anything they don’t already know. This paper presents an exercise that will excite and enthuse students about their computers and Information Systems in general. Every freshman is familiar with wireless network connections having used them with both their computers and their phones. The setup of those wireless networks however is somewhat of a mystery and considered far too complex to deal with by most students. This paper outlines a strategy for demystifying the technology and involving students in hands-on learning. By actually setting up a wireless router students gain confidence in their computer skills and become interested in learning more about information systems. This paper describes the process used to gain their interest and includes a handbook that can be used with students everywhere. Keywords: wireless networks, routers, TCP/IP, teaching the introductory course 1. INTRODUCTION 1.

  • Internet Discussion Forums: a New Modality for Facilitating Peer Writing in Japanese University-Level EFL Classes
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 465 299 FL 027 351 AUTHOR Bay, Dale TITLE Internet Discussion Forums: A New Modality for Facilitating Peer Writing in Japanese University-Level EFL Classes. PUB DATE 1999-00-00 NOTE 26p. PUB TYPE Reports Descriptive (141) EDRS PRICE MF01/PCO2 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Discussion Groups; *English (Second Language); Foreign Countries; Higher Education; *Internet; Second Language Learning; Student Motivation; Teaching Methods; World Wide Web; *Writing Skills IDENTIFIERS Japan ABSTRACT This paper describes unique opportunities offered by the Internet for Japanese college students learning to write in English. It focuses on tasks that students were assigned using discussion forums on the Internet. It begins by describing the Web site, which is <http://www.esljapan.com>, looking at software considerations, privacy issues, operating system compatibility, and the forum. It goes on to examine teaching methods (types of classes and method applied); procedures and problems; teaching points (headline reading, subject line reading, and peer writing); and the Intensive English Programme, which involved diary writing. Using Communicative English Language Test data as a measure of student ability, the study examined whether it was possible to predict that students with greater ability would post more frequently or post more lines to the Web site than students with lower ability. Results found no relationship between test scores and frequency of student postings. The paper recommends considering other factors that might be indicative of student motivation (e.g., their grades being based on how often they posted). (SM) Reproductions supplied by EDRS are the best that can be made from the original document.
