The Digital Folklore of Cyberculture and Digital Humanities
Where human communication and development is possible, folklore is developed. With the rise of digital communications and media in past decades, humans have adopted a new form of folklore within this online landscape. Digital folklore has been developed into a culture that impacts the ways in which communities are formed, media is created, and communications are carried out. It is essential to track this growing phenomenon. The Digital Folklore of Cyberculture and Digital Humanities focuses on the opportunities and chances for folklore research online as well as research challenges for online folk groups. It presents opportunities for production of digital internet material from items and research in the field of folk culture and for digitization, documentation, and promotion of elements related to folk culture. Covering topics such as e-learning programs, online communities, and costumes and fashion archives, this premier reference source is a dynamic resource for folklorists, sociologists, anthropologists, psychologists, students and faculty of higher education, libraries, researchers, and academicians.
Handbook of Research on Using Educational Robotics to Facilitate Student Learning
Over the last few years, increasing attention has been focused on the development of children’s acquisition of 21st-century skills and digital competences. Consequently, many education scholars have argued that teaching technology to young children is vital in keeping up with 21st-century employment patterns. Technologies, such as those that involve robotics or coding apps, come at a time when the demand for computing jobs around the globe is at an all-time high while its supply is at an all-time low. There is no doubt that coding with robotics is a wonderful tool for learners of all ages as it provides a catalyst to introduce them to computational thinking, algorithmic thinking, and proje...
Handbook of Research on Tools for Teaching Computational Thinking in P-12 Education
While the growth of computational thinking has brought new awareness to the importance of computing education, it has also created new challenges. Many educational initiatives focus solely on the programming aspects, such as variables, loops, conditionals, parallelism, operators, and data handling, divorcing computing from real-world contexts and applications. This decontextualization threatens to make learners believe that they do not need to learn computing, as they cannot envision a future in which they will need to use it, just as many see math and physics education as unnecessary. The Handbook of Research on Tools for Teaching Computational Thinking in P-12 Education is a cutting-edge r...
Research on E-Learning and ICT in Education
This book is comprised of research-based chapters developed from selected full papers presented at the Pan-Hellenic and International Conference “ICT in Education”. It includes covering technical, pedagogical, organizational, instructional, as well as policy aspects of ICT in Education and e-Learning. Special emphasis is given to applied research relevant to the educational practice guided by the educational realities in schools, colleges, universities and informal learning organizations. Further, the book encompasses current trends, perspectives, and approaches determining e-Learning and ICT integration in practice, including learning and teaching, curriculum and instructional design, l...
Multidisciplinary Perspectives Towards Building a Digitally Competent Society
The world is undergoing a transformation as technology enters every ecosystem. Subsequently, there is a need to develop higher-order digital skills to ensure one's employability as professionals need to build digital competencies to remain competitive in the current work environment. Additionally, businesses must also continue to update their digital practices in order to remain relevant. Multidisciplinary Perspectives Towards Building a Digitally Competent Society explores multidisciplinary perspectives towards building a more digitally competent society, considers new business models and the need for organizations and individuals to develop the right mindset to embrace digitalization, and discusses how social capital can become a key driver in crafting a whole new digitally competent social fabric. Covering topics such as technological transformation, social media, and corporate social responsibility, this reference work is ideal for corporate practitioners, business owners, policymakers, scholars, researchers, practitioners, instructors, and students.
Frugal Innovation and Social Transitions in the Digital Era
Frugal innovation is considered a new source of innovation, mainly to meet the needs of low-income customers. Hence, frugal innovation has primarily been explored emphasizing affordability. The concept of frugal and social innovation is a new idea and requires perspectives from academicians, researchers, and organizations to reach its full potential. Frugal Innovation and Social Transitions in the Digital Era considers the social value of innovation, frugal innovation, and social innovation in society at local, national, and international levels and calls the attention of scholars and researchers around the globe to focus on the social perspectives and social patterns of human life and society. Covering key topics such as emerging technologies, entrepreneurship, and social change, this reference work is ideal for computer scientists, business owners, managers, policymakers, researchers, scholars, practitioners, instructors, and students.
Machine Learning for Societal Improvement, Modernization, and Progress
Learning has been fundamental to the growth and evolution of humanity and civilization. The same concepts of learning, applied to the tasks that machines can perform, are having a similar effect now. Machine learning is evolving computation and its applications like never before. It is now widely recognized that machine learning is playing a similar role to electricity in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in modernizing the world. From simple high school science projects to large-scale radio astronomy, machine learning has revolutionized it all—however, a few of the applications clearly stand out as transforming the world and opening up a new era. Machine Learning for Societal Improve...
Digital Psychology’s Impact on Business and Society
Individuals, businesses, organizations, and countries all benefit from having access to data. People who generate data do it voluntarily, forming their habits, patterns, and behaviors in the process. Their psychological characteristics will be better understood as a result of the data that they generate, allowing them to make intelligent decisions. Organizations are motivated by the desire to collect and analyze as much data as possible from the general public or future customers in order to better understand their psychological features and influence them to purchase their products or services. As a result, there has been a great deal of debate concerning the use of data from the perspectiv...
Handbook of Research on Implementing Digital Reality and Interactive Technologies to Achieve Society 5.0
Research on digital reality has been extensive in recent years, covering a wide range of topics and leading to new ways to approach and deal with complex situations. Within the Society 5.0 paradigm, people and machines establish a positive relationship to find solutions for social aspects and problems. This perspective establishes a strong interconnection between physical and virtual space, making the user an active player for better life and society. In these terms, digital systems and virtual and augmented reality technologies enable multi-dimensional scenarios and additional levels of interdisciplinary collaboration to create a highly inclusive communication network and social framework. ...
Geschichtsbewusstsein – Geschichtskultur – Public History
Die Paradigmen der Geschichtsdidaktik und ihre Fragestellungen sind seit jeher stetigem Wandel unterworfen. Der Anpassungsdruck vergrößert sich im Augenblick durch Veränderungen in der politischen Kultur (Postkolonialismus, neue Fundamentalismen), soziale Umbrüche, die Digitalisierung aller Lebensbereiche. Antworten auf die sich damit der Disziplin stellende Fragen möchte dieser Band geben. Die Beiträge befassen sich mit der Formung und Bedeutung der alten Zentralkategorie des Geschichtsbewusstseins, welche die zunehmend diversen Lernendengruppen unserer Zeit einschließen muss, sowie mit Überlegungen zur Geschichtskultur zwischen Urteilsbildung und praktischem Handeln in der Gegenwart. Dazu wird Public History als partizipatorische Professionalität konzipiert, die ausdrücklich Digitalität und Geschichtsdiskurs vereint.
