Case Report: Mohawk College Students
MEMORANDUM

TO: Mohawk College students.
FROM: Fatme Khalife
DATE: March 21st 2012
SUBJECT: .

The purpose of this report is to discuss the problem that the Mohawk College students have been and are still experiencing, that is the inadequate computers and software, and to outline some solutions that my group and i have discussed and came up with. We collaborated very efficiently through emails and conducting meetings at the library. Emailing was a good method of communicating but its disadvantage is that we couldn't get instant responses from each other.

PROBLEM

Problem Statement:
The computers at Mohawk College Fennel campus libraries are insufficient to accommodate the needs of the students. Those available computers

Therefore, the only solution that can successfully be implemented and that can have a great effect in helping to overcome this problem is keeping a class or a room that will be fully equipped with mac and other personal computers which can only be used after a reservation has been made, it will be free of charge and you can reserve a computer online by just logging in to the Mohawk College website, and booking a computer specifying the period of time you will be spending on the computer which is a maximum of three hours per day, this is to allow other students book a computer as well. This solution should be implemented in order to help those of you who have got loads of work to do and are not sure if they can find a free computer seat at the library or not, You will simply walk into this room on the certain time you have booked with no worries of finding a place for you to sit and use a computer, while at the libraries if you do not get a seat you will have to wait for other people to be done in order for you to start doing your work and this would certainly waste a lot of you

    Last week was our first week of class in which we discussed several different topics relating to business in the computer field also known as BIS/220. We discussed the ethical challenges surrounding the movie and music industries as they related to the internet, what ways the university of Phoenix deals with plagiarism, collaborating tools that we use in our personal and work life and different concepts of Microsoft Word that we might not have been aware of.

    It is getting better and I believe that we could utilize our existing facilities if our school would put a computer in every student’s hand. The English and social studies departments now have online access to all textbooks, assessments and support materials. Unfortunately, we don’t always have access to a lab and therefore, we are unable to utilize all of the online resources we have available. Other departments are moving in that direction as their curriculum adoption schedule comes up. Improving our technology infrastructure is possible with our existing facilities. It is just finding the funding to do it now. We tried to pass a bond last year and it was voted down by the community. Some of the improvements addressed the exact issues I have…

    On a daily basis I encounter a number of issues on the PGCC campus but the one that affects me the most is the problem with the computer labs. When I know I have to complete an assignment on campus I get an instant headache. Not because I have to do the work but because I know the hassle I have to go through to find a computer lab that isn’t overcrowded and actually has computers that are working. Ashlee Davis, a current student here at PGCC also agrees that the computer labs here on the campus are a big issue. She goes on to say that, “When it comes time to use the campus computer…

    Since they have been introduced to society, computers have been incorporated into almost every aspect of daily life. Almost every workplace is run by a computer network, transactions at stores and restaurants are done using a computer, cars have computers incorporated into to them to help them run smoothly, and people have even taking in using computers for recreation. Lately, these computers have started to be used in the classroom, replacing the tradition of books, pencils and papers with personal computers. Some people think that this is a great idea, while others are still a little sceptical of the idea that the use of computers has benefits. In “Tech and content TEAM UP,” a mostly informative article in the February edition of District Administration Magazine, Michael Gagne talks about…

    This study aims to examine the effect of using computerized concept maps during the pre-writing phase on learners’ writing performance. The research questions were: (1) What are the impacts of different computerized concept mapping treatments (no-mapping, individual-mapping, and cooperativemapping) on writing performance for learners of different writing proficiencies (high-level, middlelevel, and low-level)? (2) Does the quality of the concept maps constructed cooperatively exceed the quality of the concept maps constructed individually? (3) Does the map quality correlate to the learner’s writing performance? Ninety-four freshmen enrolled in an English course were divided into high-level, middle-level, and lowlevel learners according to their baseline writing scores. The experimental part of the study took place over two-hour class periods for nine weeks. All participants went through all three treatments for accomplishing three writing assignments. It was found that both computerized mapping treatments had equally positive effects on low-level and middle-level learners compared with the no-mapping treatment. However, high-level learners performed significantly better with the individual-mapping treatment than with the other two treatments. The quality of the concept maps constructed cooperatively exceeded the quality of those constructed individually. The quality of the maps was…

    b. There are several problems with the online registration system used at Dickerson University. First, lists of closed sections cannot be updated as often as necessary. Second, students who want to register in a closed section must be assigned to a special terminal. Third, the computer staff is not trained to handle student problems. Fourth, the Computer Center's own terminals cannot be used on the system; therefore, the university has to rent 15 extra terminals to handle registration.…

In most institutions there has been a need to establish a training programme for staff in how to use ICT to deliver on-line courses, maintain them, and to deliver outreach programmes to different student groups (young students, senior citizens, and ethnic minority students for example). Linked to this are issues of staff resistance, and in some cases,…
