Online learning is becoming the main teaching method since the COVID-19 pandemic. What happens after the pandemic is over? Will the online education be still going? The schools have implemented online learning systems to replace the current teaching methods to ensure the teaching and learning process keeps going. However, research have found that not all students respond well to fully online learning methods, therefore a blended learning system is needed to facilitate the difference in student performance. This IT blueprint will ensure that an upper secondary school is equipped with the proper IT system for its purposes as well as propose blended learning system where the school will apply both online learning and face-to-face teaching method at the same time to maximize student potential.
Indonesia is in the top 5 country that generates solid waste. It is the 14th largest country in the world in managing waste, but unfortunately, Indonesia is not known for its diligence to waste management. In 2019, the coordinating minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment of the Republic of Indonesia, Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan, stated that it is a top priority in the national agenda to keep improving solid waste management due to the growing number of people living in the urban areas and the estimated 105.000 tons of solid waste a day. This paper aims to create an IT blueprint for this waste management through a distributed system that allows an optimum flow of waste out of dense urban centers and into the proper waste disposal facilities. It involves smarter waste surveillance, a consolidated fleet of collection agents of varying mobility and capacity and includes people participation to control unnecessary waste generation. The system should be scalable while using existing resources and systems to manage the problem in the long term. It should maintain the three principles of Integrated Solid Waste Management (ISWM): waste prevention, recycling, and disposal. New technologies, such as a sensor network to monitor waste generation close to the source, can help burgeon localized SWM techniques such as community composting. The country can take the steps necessary to mitigate the problem.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
