The use of mobile phones has had a major impact on the way people communicate. Other mobile devices, such as laptop computers and handheld devices have also become an integral part of everyday life. The portability and flexibility of these devices has succeeded in placing mobile technology in the realm of mainstream technology, both in the workplace and the classroom.The development of wireless networking solutions represents a significant evolutionary step in this arena, as devices can now be fully...

Users within segregated large enterprise network environments share the commonality of the data within their corporate LAN, but not necessarily the data residing within carefully defined and proprietary WLAN segments. These WLANs are typically restricted to just those users requiring access to it.While large corporate LANs are still somewhat viable, they are increasingly being augmented by multiple WLAN segments devised to support unique blends of multi-media and traditional data traffic. Whether...

The results of this study show that pupils, teachers as well as parentsassess that ICT has a positive impact on improving the pupils’learning. What then are the areas in which the use of ICT has asignificant impact and where does it have no impact? • ICT impact is assessed by teachers to be strongest on subject-related performance.• Learning basic skills such as reading and writing is anotherarea where a positive impact of ICT is experienced• ICT is seen by teachers to be a valuable tool to support...

E-learning Nordic 2006 is the first inter-Nordic study specifically focusing on the impact of ICT on key areas in schools in the Nordic region – and the results are positive. Results from E-learning Nordic 2006 show that ICT is a strong tool to support pupil performance, learning and the communication between pupils, teachers, headmasters and parents. However, the results from the study also indicate that the use and impact of ICT is often still random, and that the full potential of ICT as a tool...

In a partnership between the Finnish National Board of Education,the Swedish National Agency for School Improvement, the NorwegianMinistry of Education and Research, the Danish Ministry ofEducation, and Ramboll Management, the study E-learning Nordic2006 has been designed and launched. Ramboll Management isresponsible for the operational implementation of the study andRamboll Management is solely responsible for the analysis of theresults and all conclusions presented in this report. ICT has been...

The Nordic countries have in general had a strong focus on competence development for teachers regarding the use of ICT for teaching and learning purposes. However, the results from the study show that the impact of these investments is random. Results from this and other studies show that the poor results can be improved by a more strategic and systematic approach to ICT at more levels; Mandatory inclusion of ICT in all subjects, follow-up on the use of ICT at school level and more focus upon the...

At many schools, while the pupils think they have great ICT skills, the teachers hold an opposite point of view. Hence, there are different opinions of what constitutes ICT competences, or “digital competence”.The different opinions can be considered as a gap between generations. This highlights the importance of a common concept of digital competence. If no common understandingof digital competence is developed among management, teachers and pupils, there is both a risk for diminishing the use...

Cut monitoringWithin the framework of the ‘Cut monitoring’ project, the IMI-Arc has developed a method for definingand controlling the parameters that influence the cut during machining by stock removal. Thanks tothe optimisation of cutting parameters, it is then possible to:• define the optimum geometry of cutting tools and develop anti-wear coatings for these tools• identify stable working conditions, to avoid damaging tools, i.e. breakage and chipping• adapt tool choice to machining conditionsThis...

Micro-injection: from theory to practiceMicro-injection is a mass production method for plastic micro-components. The phenomena linking theconditions for implementation on one hand, and the micro-structural and mechanical properties of themicro-parts on the other, are nevertheless rarely studied. Research was undertaken at the Institute to tryand address this issue. Regarding semi-crystalline polymers, significant quantitative differences in themorphology of the micro-parts and traditional injected...
