eSTUDY – eLearning in studies: How do students evaluate and use eLearning?


“The research-project eSTUDY – eLearning in studies: How do students evaluate and useeLearning? was conducted by the working group of educational psychology at the Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz on behalf of the bm:bwk. It was examined for the field of higher education how students use and assess eLearning in comparison to classroom teaching and what influence individual and institutional respectively organizational framework requirements have on the evaluation and use of eLearning.”

The paper resulted of having both classroom and media based teaching have their own advantages as I also would give my evaluation to such discussion. E Learning is advantageous in same cases such as time and effort reduction which would be present to students residing in far places. Classroom teaching also gives a more clear and physical instruction which allows students to develop and practice their social interactive ness to their lecturer and classmates personally. As what we are doing now in most of our subjects, we have joint both and it work very satisfyingly.

Students’ Choice of Information Technology Majors and Careers: A Qualitative Study

“Researchers conducted focus group interviews with 54 undergraduate university students majoring in computer science (CS), computer engineering (CE), and information technology and informatics (ITI) to determine why students choose a particular information technology (IT) related major and an IT career. Results suggest that students in the study who chose IT majors and careers were influenced by positive experiences in high school, interest in computing, an aptitude for math and physics, perceived job prestige, the expectation of a good salary, the encouragement of family members, and the influence of a key individual such as a teacher or work supervisor”

Nowadays, many students are into studying in computer related course which is primarily caused by the advancements in the computing industry which is much needed in employment matter. To think it more deeply, as I too questioned myself, why I chose to pursue this course? I would say that it is because of my interest to know more the information about these technologies I am enjoying. I see more than just computers, but skills which are very important like logical thinking, interpersonal and intrapersonal interactions. It is more about love of what I am doing that gives me motivation.

Progress and Trends in Ink-jet Printing Technology


“This paper provides a brief review of the various paths undertaken in the development of ink-jet printing. Highlights of recent progress and trends in this technology are discussed. The technologies embedded in the latest ink-jet products from current industry leaders in both thermal and piezoelectric drop-on-demand ink-jet methods are also described. Finally, this article presents a list of the potential ink-jet technology applications that have emerged in the past few years”

These days, Ink Jet printers have boost up its sale in the market. Its rate has increased in a remarkable way generating a competition with the existence of laser printers. Because of the competition, there is a burst through of ideas about the enhancements of the product. The capability of the printing technology of the inkjets becomes more reliable. Having close to the printing output to laser printers yet cost low, preference by the users in the office, home and printing business is in great percentage. With this, I see the struggle in marketing of laser printers.
