“…Similarly, Zhao, Lei, Lai, and Tan () revealed insignificant variance in student outcomes from comparing courses that embedded technology and conventional classroom settings. In a more recent study, Rajab () compared the effectiveness of using CAL environment and conventional classroom teaching by assessing e‐learning experience and yielded similar results with Russell () and Zhao et al (). Such inconclusive results in CAL studies call for more researches to provide empirical evidence pertaining to the effectiveness of CAL in general and of summary writing in CAL environment in particular.…”

This paper focuses on the design and evaluation of a theory‐based computer‐assisted summary writing learning environment called Summary Writing‐PAL (SW‐PAL). The SW‐PAL was developed based on four aspects: summarizing strategies, learning theories, prior knowledge, and cognitive load. A quasi‐experiment that involved 58 undergraduates majoring in Computer Science was conducted to examine the effectiveness of SW‐PAL in writing summaries. Two intact classes were selected with 28 and 30 students in control and experimental groups, respectively. The conventional teaching approach was employed in the control group, whereas the SW‐PAL was introduced to the experimental group. Pretest and posttest were administrated to both groups. The findings indicated that SW‐PAL improved students' summary writing performance. A significant variance was noted between intrinsic and extraneous cognitive load among students with varying levels of English proficiency in the experimental group, signifying that the SW‐PAL is more suitable for students with lower language proficiency.

“…When determining this, Rajab K.D. [19] and Encalada [16] both found no significant statistical difference. On the other hand, Rambocas et al found that the student development was significantly higher in the technology enabled classes [17] and there was a higher interest in completing courses using digital communities [18].…”

Digital learning communities have become a focal point of organizational development. The education industry has begun to follow suit by using the same technologies to enhance the learning process through a deeper process of participation. These technological tools complement sound learning design to bring a wealth of benefits to students. These benefits are not without peril. New technological tools shift common issues of education into online environments. This article reviews recent implementations of digital communities and highlights their influencing factors. The factors are then connected to existing factors in knowledge management literature. The key factors found are A) Student interaction with the community, B) Interaction vs grades and C) Student experiences.

“…As part of the plan, the government hopes to adopt an approach which could create a user friendly network that covers remote impoverished districts and coordinates with the progress to achieve functions. Hopefully, it can enable local rural citizens to receive online education [14] and online medical care [15], together with creating an authoritative platform to introduce more Internet-based enterprises to benefit people by providing employment opportunities [16] and advanced technology [17], as well as supplying fresh and high quality products.…”

Mobile Fog Computing (MFC), as a crucial supplement to cloud computing, has its own special traits in many aspects. As smart mobile devices grow and vary in shapes and formats over the years, the need for real-time interactions and an easy-to-use network is imminent. In this paper, we propose a smart collaborative policy for MFC scenarios by considering the target of rural vitalization. The challenges and drawbacks of extending cloud to fog are reviewed at the beginning. Then, the analysis of policy design is presented from the perspectives of feature comparisons, urgent requirements, and possible solutions. The details of policy establishment are introduced with necessary examples. Finally, performance evaluations are provided based on simulation platforms. Validation results related to round trip time and transmission time illustrate the significant improvements of our proposal in certain ways compared to the original candidate, which enables larger deployment in impoverished areas.
