Frazeologizmy v demotivatorah
2008
The article presents new compound words, which are frequently a verbal component of internet polycode texts, i.e. demotivators. Demotivators, i.e. pictures combining graphics or photo and ironie commentary, were at first a response to motivational posters, whose task was to encourage people to work or learn. In the virtual world demotivators comment on current events or mock everyday nonsense. They are such a solidified genre that some of the commentaries used in demotivators can be perceived as phraseological neologisms.
INFORMATION QUALITY PROBLEMS ON WEBSITES
2019
The goal of this publication is to identify and characterize the typical problems with information quality on websites, and to present exemplary remedies for those problems. In this article the information quality problems within their origins, as well as the consequences of using poor-quality information by the Internet user were defined. There were also presented ways of improving information quality - which should facilitate the information needed by producers/authors and the managers/administrators of services in or to find solutions to the remaining problems. The presented varied remedies are not all possible solutions to improving quality in the area of the WWW content and its infrast…
Tools of Improving the Quality of Information on Websites
2022
Purpose: Identification of methods and tools of improving the quality of information on websites. The investigated instruments, techniques and mechanisms are described with regard to solving problems of the information quality from the user’s perspective. Design/methodology/approach: Literature studies along with analysis of tools of improving the quality of information on websites. The analysis of tools for improving the quality of information was conducted within four areas: information integration, information validation, providing context of information, as well as adjusting information to be used. The presented examples concern, among others, information websites, government sites, onl…
Competing Against Simulated Equilibrium Price Dispersions: An Experiment on Internet-Assisted Search Markets
2005
In a four-treatment experiment, we test some of the hypotheses in García-Gallego et al. (2004) concerning competition among a number of firms of which some (or all) are indexed by a price-comparison engine facilitating buyers’ search process. In this paper, we isolate individual behavior from noise due to other players’ actions and learning, facing each subject with simulated rivals whose prices are extracted from mixed strategy equilibrium distributions. We find systematic deviations from both theoretical distributions and previous data obtained in sessions where all players were human. Specifically, departures of experimental data from the corresponding theoretical predictions are enhance…
Students' abilities to evaluate the credibility of online texts: The role of internet‐specific epistemic justifications
2021
Previous evaluation studies have rarely used authentic online texts and investigated upper secondary school students' use of evaluation criteria and deep reasoning. The associations between internet-specific epistemic justifications for knowing and credibility evaluation of online texts are not yet fully understood among adolescents. This study investigated upper secondary school students' (N = 372) abilities to evaluate self-selected authentic online texts and the role of internet-specific epistemic justifications in students' evaluation performance when solving a health-related information problem. Students selected three texts with Google Custom Search Engine and evaluated their credibil…
Development of Network Security Education
2021
Distance education has grown tremendously over the last decade. Internet technologies have enabled a large-scale dispensation of lectures, exercises, and training. Virtual Learning Management Systems (LMSs) offer a number of tools to realize distance education and distance learning. In this work, we present a virtual system architecture for training cyber security professionals with hands-on skills. The architecture is based on a VirtualBox virtualization environment. Guest machines are installed on an instance of VirtualBox. The installed environment offers a safe and isolated workbench for experiments. After installation and configuration of the environment, students perform a number of i…
The transformation of R&D into neo open innovation- a new concept in R&D endeavor triggered by amazon
2019
Amazon was the world's top Research and Development (R&D) firm in 2017. Its R&D investment was double that of 2015, five times that of 2012, and ten times that of 2011. Such a rapid and notable increase in R&D investment has raised the question of a new R&D definition and focus in the digital economy, which Amazon insists includes both “routine or periodic alterations” (traditionally classified as non-R&D) and “significant improvement” (classified as R&D). Using an empirical analysis of Amazon's R&D model as a system, this paper attempts to provide a convincing answer to this question. It has been identified that Amazon, which is based on R&D as a culture, has been promoting companywide exp…
Cybercywilizacja przestrzeni edukacji i wychowania
2017
Autorka artykułu porusza problem cybercywilizacji i jej wpływu na współczesną edukację. Nowoczesne systemy komunikacji w przekazywaniu wiedzy wymuszają na nauczycielach systematyczne podnoszenie erudycyjnych kompetencji, tak aby nie tracić intelektualnych interakcji z uczniami, którzy na co dzień obcują z urządzeniami elektronicznymi będącymi dla nich nośnikami wiedzy, a także źródłem kwerendy wykorzystywanej do celów poznawczych, edukacyjnych i rozrywkowych. Teoretyczne rozważania autorka objaśnia wynikami badań własnych.
Sharing on web 3D models of ancient theatres. A methodological workflow
2016
Abstract. In the last few years, the need to share on the Web the knowledge of Cultural Heritage (CH) through navigable 3D models has increased. This need requires the availability of Web-based virtual reality systems and 3D WEBGIS. In order to make the information available to all stakeholders, these instruments should be powerful and at the same time very user-friendly. However, research and experiments carried out so far show that a standardized methodology doesn’t exist. All this is due both to complexity and dimensions of geometric models to be published, on the one hand, and to excessive costs of hardware and software tools, on the other. In light of this background, the paper describ…
A Conceptual Framework for Using and Evaluating Web-Based Learning Resources in School Education
2010
Published version of an article from the journal:Journal of Information Technology Education. Also available from the publisher: http://www.jite.org/documents/Vol9/JITEv9p053-079Hadjerrouit743.pdf Web-based learning resources (WBLRs) have provided teachers with a wide range of new teachingexperiences that are not possible in traditional classroom. However, little research has beendone as to which approach to WBLRs is suitable to address issues that are pertinent to learning.This paper proposes a conceptual framework to explore the design and evaluation of WBLRs inschool education. The paper also examines the way in which the framework is used to evaluatestudents? and teachers? perceptions o…
