These improvementswill enhance performance by segmenting information on a different secure network.BackgroundLack of funding has traditionally been a problem in the K-12 educational systems. Therefore,advancing technology in the school systems has been a significant problem. The addition ofInternet technologies brought the price point of high speed Internet connections within reach ofK-12 schools Parents, educators, and students were demanding services to be delivered via theInternet whether they were onsite or remote and using mobile and/or desktop devices (Pierce andCleary, 2016).

In this paper, we arguethat industry can conversely benefit engineering education in how technologyis applied for sharing knowledge within and beyond the boundaries of theorganization. The airline industry in particular is an area that demonstrateshow knowledge sharing experiences can be enabled through the use of mobilecomputing innovations in the field. Global competition requires firms torapidly and effectively develop and share knowledge. Knowledge and learningenabled through the use of advanced technologies are, therefore, among themost critical organizational assets for achieving and maintaining competitiveadvantage.Drawing from the literature streams of knowledge sharing, social learningtheory, and IT mobility, this

an essential component in IT educationsince virtually multiple systems can be created, modified, tested, and deleted easily with little orno cost. Hypervisor virtual machines have been heavily used in IT education for last decade, butsharing the large resources with the host machine becomes a major limitation of suchtechnology. Recently, emergence of container-based virtual machines provides a lightweightvirtual environment over hypervisor-based machines. This emerging technology has not beenexplored well and adopted in IT education. In this paper, we will investigate and explorecontainer-based virtual machines to provide framework for its adoption in IT education. We willdescribe step-by-step instructions on creating a cluster in single

Nanotechnology is the abilityto observe, manipulate, measure, and manufacture things at the nanoscale, which is about 1 to100 nanometers. While the word nanotechnology is new and was introduced in the late 1970s,the existence of functional devices and

University to meet the needs ofthe growing number of face-to-face and distance education students6. Laboratory experiments areuseful in teaching students skills needed for employment, and to reinforce theoretical conceptsintroduced during lectures. However, the students sometimes do not receive timely feedbackbecause it is extremely time-consuming for the instructors to grade the hands-on exercises. Thestudents usually do not have the opportunities to fix the mistakes they made in previous labs dueto lack of timely feedback. These challenges were addressed by the creation of an automatedgrading and feedback system, called BroadReach Extended, for locally designed hands-onexercises in Information Technology (IT) courses. By introducing the automatic

Reviewsare used not only in education to assess student work, but also in e-commerce applications, toassess the quality of products on sites like Amazon, ebay etc. Since reviews play a crucial role inproviding feedback to people who make assessment decisions (deciding on a student’s grade,purchase decision of a product etc.), it is important to ensure that reviews are of a good quality.In our work we propose the use of metrics such as content, tone and quantity of feedback tosuitably represent a review.
