A cross‐institutional approach to staff development in Internet communication

Abstract Recent upsurge in emphasis on larger class sizes and work‐based learning requires lecturers to be equipped to switch from traditional face‐to‐face teaching techniques to communicating with students using new technologies. Dialogue is the vital ingredient which underpins the successful learning experience, and staff in HE are facing a challenge in developing the necessary skills to make effective use of the emerging communication tools. These skills can only be acquired through practice, understanding of the pedagogy and awareness of the various options available. The aim of this paper is to explore, through presenting a case study, the potential benefits of cross‐institutional collaboration in information and communication technology staff development. Since both the University of Strathclyde and Glasgow Caledonian University were investigating ways of promoting good practice in the development and use of new learning technologies, it seemed prudent to combine forces and share ideas. The paper will examine how attempts were made to bridge the skills gap by enabling academic staff to experience Internet communication from the perspective of both student and teacher.     

Exploring novice users' training needs in searching information on the WWW

Abstract Searching for information on the WWW involves locating a website and locating information on that site. A recent study implied that novice users' training needs exclusively relate to locating websites. The present case study tried to reveal the knowledge and skills that constitute these training needs. Fourteen pre‐university students, classified as novice (n = 7) or experienced WWW‐user (n = 7) performed three web search tasks. Their actions and verbalisations were recorded. Between‐group comparisons showed minimal performance differences. However, qualitative analyses of novice users' search performance suggest that their ability to locate websites could be enhanced by instructing monitoring skills and advanced system knowledge.     

Web搜索引擎框架研究

Ｗｅｂ搜索引擎是Ｉｎｔｅｒｎｅｔ上非常有用的信息检索工具,但是由于目前搜索引擎检索出的信息量庞大,且一个特定的搜索引擎主要包含某一特定领域的信息,这使得用户很难从某一个搜索引擎获得准确的导航信息。文中提出一个新的Ｗｅｂ搜索引擎框架ＧＳＥ,并提出了一个适合于Ｗｅｂ信息获取与处理的语言ＷＥＲＰＬ。通过ＷＩＲＰＬ可以将多个Ｗｅｂ搜索引擎结合起来,为用户提供一个一致、高效、准确的Ｗｅｂ搜索引擎。

Internet中一种基于遗传算法的QoS路由选择策略

随着Internet上支持的多种服务类别对QoS需求的增长,高效的QoS支持显得越来越重要。路由机制是实现QoS保证的关键之一,应将路由选择与QoS相关联。文中给出了QoS路由选择问题的描述,提出了在单点投递(unicast）和多点投递（multicast）情况下,利用遗传算法（genetic algorithm）解决受多个QoS约束的路由选择策略,并对这两种情况进行了仿真,结果表明该策略是可行的和有效的。     

安全电子商务应用环境

1 引言 Internet的发展和广泛普及,使得越来越多的公司、企业和机构在Internet上进行商务活动、将传统商务转变为电子商务,包括在网上进行信息发布、交易处理以及实现网上支付。然而,Internet诞生主要是为了方便资源共享,其协议并无安全方面的考虑,这与当今网络计算所要求的保密性和安全性产生了矛盾。在各种电子商务活动中,安全威胁着参与活动的每一方,可以说安全性是电子商务顺利实施最重要的因素。

Alt.support: modeling social support online

While there is mounting evidence that people use the Internet to expand their social networks and receive social support, little is known about how they do so and with what effect the Internet has on overall levels of social support. Based on a survey of 213 online support seekers, this study explored social cognitive mechanism such as self-efficacy and outcome expectations as predictors of support activity, online support reliance and support network size. From these relationships, we offer preliminary evidence suggesting that those who actively seek social support online are indeed finding it through a complex support system beginning with self-regulation.
