Abstract:

Students learning English at school and another language at home comprise a rapidly growing segment of U.S. student populations. Language learners can benefit from using technology, but do not always use it advantageously (Katz & Gonzalez, 2016). Many studies address technology’s scholastic use, but few investigate how bilinguals use digital technology at home (Hinostroza, Matamala, Labbé, Claro, & Cabello, 2015), or what it means to them (Toboso-Martin, 2013).

With the increase in "smart" devices that connect to the internet, it is important to study how individuals perceive characteristics of innovations and how those perceptions relate to adoption behavior. This paper explores how attributes delineated by the diffusion of innovations (DOI) model (relative advantage, compatibility, visibility, trialability) and technology acceptance models (TAMs; perceived usefulness, ease of use) correlate with one's interest in using an internet-connected device.

Since digital media entered the business domain, many different tools and platforms have transformed the nature of business communications.

Business to business marketers have also been engaged in such challenges by maintaining a slow adoption, which has motivated the researchers to study the adoption of different means and tools of digital communication in a business context.

This thesis examines how communication technology is used for creating a democratic and committed participation within collective action organizations (CAOs). This is achieved by illuminating how organizations' structure and culture relate to their communication. It’s done by in-depth interviews with network-based movements and association-based organizations, and analyses of their digital newsletters. The analysis is based on affordance-driven theory, capturing the interaction between organizations and their digital platforms. The focus lies on how internal democracy and collective action are

Abstract:

This study examines some aspects of student performance in the 21st century skills of Information and Communication (ICT) Literacy and collaboration. In this project, extant data from the Assessment and Teaching for 21st Century Skills project (ATC21S) will be examined. ATC21S is a collaborative effort among educational agencies in six countries, universities, educational research groups, high tech innovators and the multinational corporations Cisco, Intel and Microsoft. ATC21S demonstration tasks explore the use of digital literacy and collaborative problem solving constructs in educational

Abstract:

During the early 1980s the Warlpiri at Yuendemu, a remote Aboriginal community in Central Australia, began their own experiments in local television and radio production. This was prior to the launch of the AUSSAT satellite in 1985 which brought broadcast television and radio to remote Australia for the first time. There was concern amongst remote Aboriginal communities, as well as policy makers, that the imposition of mass media without consultation could result in permanent damage to Aboriginal culture and language. As a result, a policy review 'Out of the Silent Land' was published in 1985

Abstract:

The social and environmental impacts of consumer electronics and information communications technologies (CE/ICTs) reflect dynamics of a globalized and interdependent world. During the early 21st century the global consumption of CE/ICTs expanded greatly while the infrastructure behind CE/ICTs, especially the extraction and disassembly phases, became more integrated. This dissertation examines how messages about the social and environmental impacts of CE/ICTs changed during this period and explores the discursive power of actors involved in environmental justice campaigns surrounding the dispo

Abstract:

Food is today one of the big criminals in greenhouse gas emissions and to be able to reach the climate goals we need to cut down on food with high carbon footprints. The focus of this study is on how direct information with the help of ICT could be used to increase people's knowledge about carbon footprints of food and their motivation to choose food with low carbon footprints. For this study a digital shopping list was developed in the form of a web application adapted for mobile devices that presented carbon footprints of different food. During a two week long test period a group of 38 parti

Abstract:

The objective of this research is to present a low power modem technology for a high speed millimeter wave wireless system. The first part of the research focuses on a robust ASIC design methodology. There are several aspects of the ASIC flow that require special attention such as logical synthesis, timing driven physical placement, Clock Tree Synthesis, Static Timing Analysis, estimation and reduction of power consumption and LVS and DRC closure. The latter part is dedicated to high speed baseband circuits such as Coherent and Non coherent demodulator which are critical components of a mu

Abstract:

With a growing number of connected devices and an increased market penetration for wireless and cellular technologies, it has become more and more important to understand how new technologies can be leveraged in existing markets to further understand their overall impact on society as a whole. This master thesis aims to investigate potential business opportunities for a new communications technology within an existing market. This new technology, known as LTE-Broadcast, is an evolution of cellular 4G technologies, which allows content to be broadcasted throughout a cellular network. The thesis

Abstract:

Det svenska skolväsendet har sedan 2000-talet fått övergripande stöd från regeringen för att utveckla den digitaliserade undervisningsformen. Trots detta har upprepande årsrapporter kring IT-användning i skolan visat på brister inom användarkunskap och IT-kompetens utvecklingsmöjligheter. Syftet med denna studie är att kartlägga hur digitala lärplattformar används och varför den digitala kommunikationen mellan lärare och elever inte uppnått förväntade resultat. Följande forskningsfrågor har varit relevanta i detta sammanhang: Hur ser användandet av lärplattformar på gymnasieskolan ut idag? Var
