The use of social media in the educational environment.



Kimmo Huosionmaa

The use of social media for educational purposes is a thing what have caused lots of talks. Of course, there are interactive message boards, what bases in the same technology than Facebook, what is mentioned for communication between the teacher and students. In some of those environments is a possibility for making the tests and use it for the document storage.

But there are more effects, what social media might bring in the learning environment. There is a possibility to make the interactive lectures on the Internet, where everybody has choices to answer the questions of the lecturer. In this scenario, the students will use their game headsets for answering the questions, what the lecturer will make. And the lecturer can finally look for the records of the answers after the lecture, and this way sees, who knows the real fact about the thing, what has been in the key question in the lecture. So everybody in the course might be noticed in this system.


Also, virtual environments can grow the size of the group without limit of chairs. And because all material is on the net, can students make their jobs in the home. If there is needed strong identification like in examine, might the system require telephone identification or fingerprint, and that allows the matriculation examination in the net. The person who observes the room can be anybody, and also security cameras can be used for observing the test. The virtual educational environment can use same style technology, what is used in many web-based computer games.


This kind of graphics and architecture might connect to the writing levers and that allows the use of script writing in the tests. And those surfaces can identify the persons by multi sensor systems, what connects the microphones, internet camera, fingerprints and retina pictures together. The mouse level can also identify the fingerprint, and that allows the strong identity in the tests, what are given in the university. This denies the opportunity for making the deceit in those exams. This might be future of studies in the global environment, where students can live in another country, but they are students of some universities.

Chinese innovations and space lasers are interesting combinations.

(Image credit: Alejomiranda via Getty Images)" (Scpace.com, China's space station, Tiangong: A complete guide) Chinese are close to making nuclear-powered spacecraft.  Almost every day, we can read about Chinese technical advances. So are, the Chinese more innovative than Western people? Or is there some kind of difference in culture and morale between Western and Chinese societies? The Chinese superiority in hypersonic technology is one of the things that tells something about the Chinese way of making things.  In China, the mission means. And the only thing that means is mission. That means that things like budgets and safety orders are far different from Western standards. If some project serves the Chinese communist party and PLA (People's Liberation Army) that guarantees unlimited resources for those projects. Chinese authorities must not care about the public opinion.  If we th

Iron Dome is one of the most effective air defense systems.

The Iron Dome is a missile defense system whose missiles operate with highly sophisticated and effective artificial intelligence. The power of this missile defense base is in selective fire. The system calculates the incoming missile's trajectory. And it shoots only missiles that will hit the inhabited area. The system saves missiles and focuses defense on areas that mean something. The system shares the incoming missiles in, maybe two groups. Another is harmless and another is harmful.  Things like killer drones are also problematic because their trajectories are harder to calculate than ballistic missiles. The thing that makes drones dangerous is that they can make masks for ballistic missiles. And even if those drones are slow, all of them must be shot down.  The thing is that the cooperation between drone swarms and ballistic missiles is the next danger in conflict areas. In the film, you can see how drones make light images of the skies. The killer drones can also carry LED li

The innovative shield that protects OSIRIS-APEX can also protect the new hypersonic aircraft.

"NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX spacecraft successfully completed its closest solar pass, protected by innovative engineering solutions and showing improvements in onboard instruments.

The mission plan is to research the sun. And especially find things that can warn about solar storms. Solar storms are things that can danger satellites at the Earth orbiter. And the purpose of OSIRIS-APEX is to find the method of how to predict those solar storms. Another thing is that the OSIRIS-APEX tests the systems and materials that protect this probe against heat and plasma impacts.  The same technology. The researchers created for OSIRIS-APEX can used in the materials and structures. That protects satellites against nuclear explosions. That means this kind of system delivers information on how to prot
