Most papers will fall into this "track". Unless you are a doctoral student (or a new researchers who does not need a paper reviewed by double blind review), you should select this "track".
The case method of teaching engages students. It teaches thinking, not just remember facts for the next test. Student learn by solving problems.
Technology-enhanced learning (TEL) is a newly defined field of pedagogy that encompasses the application of technology to teaching and learning for increased engagement and learning outcomes that benefit both student and teacher. It is beginning to transform the way universities operate and how teachers approach the work that they do. It provides great scope for amazing and exciting endeavors in learning styles.
This stream takes a look at novel approaches to understanding our world through research. Authors present manuscripts on new approaches to research which use technology as their central engine of analysis and exploration. Specifically highlighting how technology can be used to nuance and augment our understanding and interpretation of phenomena.
In order to survive, to develop and to relax, people need knowledge about themselves, their physical environment and their social environment. They can find this knowledge in three processes: observation, conversation and consultation.
These processes have to be learned. Governments play an important role in this process as they determine the final objectives of education and facilitate infrastructure. Research shows that students of schools with a good working library perform better than students of schools without a school library.
In this educational system school libraries play an important role. They function as a learning centre on how to have effective, efficient and ethical access to information and are a channel to this information in both physical and digital form.
In a time where ‘misinformation’ and ‘fake news’ are flourishing, being MIL (Media and Information Literacy) is more important than ever before.
In 2015 the IFLA School Libraries Section published the 2nd edition of the IFLA School Library Guidelines. Since then it has been approved by IASL (International Association of School Librarianship) and translated into 20 languages. The IASL / IFLA Joint Committee has also developed a set of workshop materials based on the Guidelines. Workshop materials consist of an Introduction and six Modules. The material can be used freely and adapted to meet local needs.
Healthcare cloud computing offers flexibility to control data scalability, massive storage of clinical statistics in hospitals and clinics and quicker accessibility to digital medical records. Moreover, increasing demand for cloud computing in patient billing to reduce capital expenditure pertaining to the conventional mode of billing practices will further spur the revenue size.
Abstract:
Cloud computing within healthcare is a significant advancement in the delivery of the healthcare system. With the advancement of technology in today’s world, cloud computing offers the ability for healthcare administrators to control data scalability, store massive amounts of digital information including statistics from hospitals and clinics. Additionally, cloud computing allows for rapid access to digital medical records for patients and healthcare providers. Digital medical records can be a benefit to patients to have instant access to their medical records without the needing to step foot into a clinic. Healthcare providers may also have access to patient medical records as they would be able to assist patients in providing them information from their digital record instantaneously as well as share patient information with other providers as permission is granted for a second or third opinion, transfer of care, or for a referral. There is an increase in demand for cloud computing to assist in patient billing in order to reduce capital expenditure in relation to the previous methods of billing insurance companies and patients. Cloud applications that offer electronic billing services can assist healthcare organizations in receiving electronic payments from patients via a secured system. Patients may also receive their bills electronically from the organization. Electronic billing and receiving bills is a method that may assist organizations in receiving payment faster than waiting on a payment in the mail or until the patient’s next visit, slowing the revenue and overall income of the organization. This method can reduce spending on from the healthcare organization, allowing the organization to allocate funds to other areas within the organization.

The business model for higher education is under significant pressure to evolve by providing higher quality learning outcomes and doing it faster and cheaper. The purpose of this track is to highlight research that addresses innovative ways to deliver educational IT and Data Analytics content and education through diverse venues to diverse student populations, effectively assess learning outcomes, and use those assessments to improve course delivery.
In a globalized world with research becoming more intense and widespread every day, the need for academia to transmit knowledge in a simple way is understood so that focused members of a community can understand and do without having to be an expert or academic.
Faculty in higher education need practical, quick tools and strategies to enhance teaching and learning in a virtual classroom. Through research, faculty are lacking the tools necessary to engage their learners in a virtual setting. Best practices need to be embedded into their instructional approach. However, given the pandemic, faculty were forced to transition face to face classes to a virtual format without being provided best practices in how to do this. With support and ideas that they can implement quickly, faculty will be better prepared to provide instruction and create settings that enhance teaching and learning in a virtual setting. This track will focus on creating a practical resource for faculty to help them in these times.
Data privacy or information privacy is a branch of data security concerned with the proper handling of data – consent, notice, and regulatory obligations. More specifically, practical data privacy concerns often revolve around:
The track will deal with theory and applied research projects applied to personal data protection, seen from both theoretical and practical angles. The also involves the application in industries or collaborative projects. Topics include:
The focus of the research track is on advancing scholarly knowledge in the field public health emergency preparedness in the context of social equity. The primary audience includes academics, doctoral students, postdoctoral researchers, and government agencies
Overall Umbrella: Public Health Emergency Preparedness and Response Capacity
There have always been complications involved with the public health emergency response in the United States but in 2020 the failed Covid-19 response, from a public health perspective, has revealed deep and undeniable inconsistencies in not only the health care system but also the justice, criminal and immigration systems for people of color.
Events such as a naturally occurring infectious disease has produced an unprecedented public health crisis that could overwhelm the existing healthcare system. In addition, it has exposed the negative health and social realities of systemic racism and widespread health disparities that lead to preventable disease and death. Data are needed to support and understand preparedness levels and build the capacity to prepare and respond to drive better health outcomes for vulnerable populations.
Hoping to Attract: Researchers seeking to build the public health and health care systems to provide equitable access to all citizens. There are two main areas of interest:
REALITIES OF COVID-19
What have we learned and how does it apply to better healthcare outcomes for the underserved?
Some suggested topic areas include:
SOCIAL EQUITY
Equity, or the absence thereof emphasizes government’s most significant job. All public servants should be treated in an equitable fashion and the services provided by them must be equitable for the advancement of society. In addition, the system or infrastructure must be equitable to enable success for our most under-served populations.
Sample topic areas include:
The track is expected to center around human and managerial factors in business intelligence (BI), thus balancing the long-term dominance of IT-centered approaches. Human and managerial factors is an umbrella term covering, but not limited to, the issues of BI acceptance, value, culture, maturity and agility. Papers containing general insights into the area, research-in-progress, completed research and other related issues are welcome. A sample of more prominent publications in this area:
