The following article deals with the possibility of discovering several parameters of the picture when using Google Maps images, e.g. time and date of taking the image. This is possible with all pictures in which buildings, trees, poles ('objects') can be seen with their shadows. In some cases, one can find -- with a bit of luck -- an aircraft…

This teaching case describes the functionality of a system employing IoT sensors to monitor part levels for a fictitious auto parts manufacturer. Data from the sensors are used to populate a centralized database and generate a dashboard for management. The system also generates tiered alerts to notify part runners and managers of pending part…

This paper intends to show the importance of the Education Management Information System (EMIS) as well as the trends, challenges, and implications to educational policy. To achieve this, the proponents did a mini-review. The paper searched the internet for relevant and timely research papers and articles mainly focusing on the education…

This qualitative case study discussed the security training and awareness for iMiTs Art's cloud and information systems due to the digital transition to cloud computing capabilities and usage. The study was based on the technology acceptance of the TAM (Technology Acceptance Model) model, security training concepts of SETA (Security Education and…

With the global increase of infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains, there is an urgent need for new methods of tackling the issue. Genomic analysis of bacterial strains can help to understand their virulence and antibiotic resistance profile. Bioinformatic skills are in great demand across the biological sciences. We designed…

Spatial thinking is an integral skill for geography students to develop. Whilst many spatial competencies have been identified by researchers, and the merits of GIS seemingly ubiquitous in the published literature, little work has been done into how students' spatial thinking skills can be assessed. Therefore, further investigation into the…

This paper introduces a novel virtual method to conduct continuous distillation experiment in an undergraduate unit operation laboratory with the help of SPM 700 Distillation Column, one of the modules available in Simtronics, a commercial process operation simulator. Simtronics simulator is a powerful tool to teach process industry skills and it…

The Unified Theory of Technology and Use of Technology (UTAUT) has been widely used in information system studies since its introduction in 2003. The current study synthesizes 40 empirical studies based on UTAUT in educational contexts using the one-stage meta-analytic structural equation modelling method. While the study confirmed the initial…

In many ways, Arizona is on the forefront of school choice: in addition to a state-wide open enrollment law, it was one of the first states to adopt charter school legislation in 1994 and currently has the second-highest percentage of public school students attending charter schools in the nation. Despite the extensive research on school choice,…

This study discusses the use of an online learning recommendation system as a smart solution related to changing the face-to-face learning process to online. This study uses user-based collaborative filtering, item-based collaborative filtering, and hybrid collaborative filtering. This research was conducted in two stages using the KNN machine…

While demand for cybersecurity professionals is high, the field is currently facing a workforce shortage and a skills gap. Thus, an examination of current cybersecurity position hiring requirements may be advantageous for helping to close the skills gap. This work examines the education, professional experience, industry certification, security…

This paper investigates the core curricula of Information Systems (IS) master's programs. It examines all 532 AACSB-accredited business schools in the United States and identifies 74 IS master's programs. MSIS 2016 and other curricular models and studies are used in a research framework to survey core courses. The top three required courses are…

Purpose: This study examined the physiological sport-specific demands (total distance, mean velocity, effective game time, and time in five velocity zones) in elite bandy players of offensive and defensive playing positions. Method: Data were collected with 10 Hz GPS-units in the Swedish Elite League during the season 2015/16. Ten male elite bandy…

While Web GIS has been supposed as a useful tool in improving the spatial thinking abilities of students, most existing empirical studies were seldom undertaken in an educational programme providing rather limited geo-technological training to students. This study focuses on tutorial sessions of a tourism geography course in a Singaporean…

In August 2017, the Houston area was ravaged by one of the costliest natural disasters in history--Hurricane Harvey. In this brief, the first in a two-part series, the authors examine the effects of Harvey on student homelessness in the Houston Independent School District (Houston ISD). The authors find that student homelessness in Houston ISD…
