“…Studies have shown that when staff use a social network to share knowledge within their organisation, it is crucial that they utilise it correctly in order to maximise the benefit and help generate new knowledge [ 25 ]. Yu and Yu [ 26 ] explain that the more individuals use social network for knowledge sharing within their workplace, the greater their contributions are to the organisation as they can more effectively exchange valuable information and knowledge among their peers.…”

User concerns regarding information sharing on social networking sites: The user’s perspective in the context of national culture

Information sharing via social networking systems (SNS) is a common practice among academics, as well as others, that brings substantial benefits. At the same time, privacy concerns are widespread among SNS users, which may tend to inhibit their maximising the benefit from using the systems. This paper investigates the proposition that SNS user attitudes and behaviour are affected by privacy concerns, and that the effects are subject to significant cultural factors. A broad assessment of the literature provides the context for the study. Working in the context of Saudi Arabia, we apply a mixed-methods approach beginning with in-depth interviews, exposing in detail a range of views and concerns about privacy and SNS use, also allowing us to identify three key factors that bear on SNS usage and users’ concerns. Analysis of these factors in the light of the “theory of reasoned action” derives a structural model predicting several hypotheses relating the factors and users’ attitudes and behaviour. We assess the model through development of a questionnaire, administered to a large pool of academic participants, that allows us to examine how the model responds in general, and via multigroup partial least squares analyses, differentially to gender and to culturally distinct (Arab vs. non-Arab) constituents of the participant group. Results show good support for the hypotheses and clear gender and culture effects. Picking up issues from the interviews, discussion focuses on users’ views about SNS providers’ privacy policies and their inadequacy regarding culturally specific ethical concerns. We argue that these views may reflect different regulatory environments in combination with other cultural factors.

“…Table 1 shows the benefits and risks associated with SN according to the literature ( Al-Oqily and Alkhatib, 2016 ; Alqahtani, 2016 ; Benn et al., 2008 ; Fitzpatrick, 2010 ; Goktalay and Ozdilek, 2016 ; Issa et al., 2019 ; Jeri-Yabar et al., 2019 ; Kemp, 2015 ; Kimmons et al., 2017 ; Lalonde and Castro, 2015 ; Malak et al., 2017 ; Mccarroll and Curran, 2013 ; Sonnenwald and Pierce, 2000 ; Yadav et al., 2020 ; Zygmunt et al., 2020 ). These benefits include: the acquisition of cutting-edge knowledge, increased collaboration, independent learning, improved communication skills, increased awareness of environmentally friendly practices (i.e., be more sustainable people, provide reliable and scalable services, become “greener” in their activities, and reduce the carbon footprint) and the opportunity to make new acquaintances (i.e., friendships, romance, and work).…”

“…However, the implementation of SN in the higher education sector can give rise to several risks or disadvantages regarding students’ cognitive, social, and physical development, and their security and privacy. Table 1 shows the SN risks in detail based on the current literature ( Al-Oqily and Alkhatib, 2016 ; Almufaraj and Issa, 2018 ; Alqahtani, 2016 ; Alqahtani and Issa, 2018 ; Chakraborty et al., 2016 ; Goktalay and Ozdilek, 2016 ; Issa et al., 2014 , 2016a , 2019 ; Jeri-Yabar et al., 2019 ; Kircaburun, 2016 ; Krouska et al., 2019 ; Peris et al., 2020 ; Samad et al., 2019 ; Shi et al., 2018 ; Symons et al., 2020 ; Vernon et al., 2017 ; Woods and Scott, 2016 ).…”

“…The data collection was done by country; thus, a separate platform (via Qualtrics XM), was established for each country. The first study was published as an article titled ‘Asia-Pacific Students’ Awareness and Behaviour Regarding Social Networking in the Education Sector’ ( Issa et al., 2019 ). This study was limited to Australia, Bhutan, India, Malaysia, Pakistan, and South Korea.…”

This study aims to determine the benefits, risks, awareness, cultural factors, and sustainability, allied to social networking (SN) use in the higher education (HE) sector in Middle Eastern countries, namely Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey. Using an online survey, 1180 complete responses were collected and analyzed using the statistical confirmatory factor analysis method. The use of SN in the Middle Eastern HE sector has the capacity to promote and motivate students to acquire professional and personal skills for their studies and future workplace; however, the use of SN by tertiary students is also associated with several risks: isolation, depression, privacy, and security. Furthermore, culture is influenced by using SN use, since some countries shifted from one dimension to another based on Hofstede's cultural framework. The study new findings are based on a sample at a specific point in time within a culture. The study findings encourage academics to include SN in unit activities and assessments to reap the benefits of SN, while taking steps to mitigate any risks that SN poses to students. Although other studies in the Middle East examined the use of Learning Management System and Facebook in, HE as a means of engaging students in discussions and communications, however, this study contributes a better understanding of the benefits and risks, awareness, culture, and sustainability, associated with the use of SN in the HE sector in the Middle East. Finally, the paper concludes with an acknowledgment of the study limitations and suggestions for future research.

“…Modern education theory believes that physical education is a systematic, planned, and purposeful information conversion process, and the teaching process is regarded as a dynamic process of information extraction and feedback. Therefore, the management of physical education is essentially a kind of information management [7][8]. In addition to managing different types of information in physical education, such as "course selection, course evaluation, physical education curriculum resources," an information management system for physical education can also be made to enhance the quality of information management and contribute positively to physical education.…”

Employing the OpenPose model, this research advances the prediction and analysis of human skeletal points in videos, paving the way for refined action differentiation and posture analysis. By isolating unique posture features and developing a DTW-based algorithm for posture matching, we identify deviations in movements for corrective action in sports training. This methodology promotes the digitization of physical education, enabling personalized coaching and a detailed understanding of student performance. Our findings reveal a marked improvement in the experimental group’s movement evaluation scores, surpassing the control group by 82.86 points, with a P value of 0.000, and demonstrating significant skill test advancements (t=3.129, P<0.01). These results validate the approach’s potential to revolutionize physical education management and sports training with data-driven insights.
