This guidebook is designed to be the high school teacher's friend
in addressing a wide variety of questions regarding the use of
educational and instructional technologies. It can serve as a
companion and guide through the myriad challenges and opportunities
related to the effective use of technology in one's classroom and
school. A sample of U.S. high school teachers provided us with
detailed answers about their experiences with using technology in
their teaching. Specifically, they shared their challenges,
barriers, ideas, and suggestions for working successfully with
administrators, technology specialists, students, fellow teachers,
and parents when teaching with technology. We have organized the
teachers' experiences and recommendations according to each
stakeholder group. Rather than recommending or reviewing specific
educational technology companies, applications, or tools, we
provide a large number of strategies that are "built to last" and
should be applicable regardless of the specific tool under
consideration. We assume that it doesn't ultimately matter what the
tool or technology is that you're using-it's how and why you're
using it for teaching and learning that will determine whether it
is successful or not. The "how" and "why" aspects encompass the
built-to-last strategies included in this guidebook.
DHM and Posturography explores the body of knowledge and
state-of-the-art in digital human modeling, along with its
application in ergonomics and posturography. The book provides an
industry first introductory and practitioner focused overview of
human simulation tools, with detailed chapters describing elements
of posture, postural interactions, and fields of application. Thus,
DHM tools and a specific scientific/practical problem - the study
of posture - are linked in a coherent framework. In addition,
sections show how DHM interfaces with the most common physical
devices for posture analysis. Case studies provide the applied
knowledge necessary for practitioners to make informed decisions.
Digital Human Modelling is the science of representing humans with
their physical properties, characteristics and behaviors in
computerized, virtual models. These models can be used standalone,
or integrated with other computerized object design systems, to
design or study designs, workplaces or products in their
relationship with humans.

Foundations of Computer-Aided Process Design, July 14 - 18, 2019,
compiles the presentations given at the Ninth International
Conference on Foundations of Computer-Aided Process Design,
FOCAPD-2019. It highlights the meetings held at this event that
brings together researchers, educators and practitioners to
identify new challenges and opportunities for process and product
design.
The world of esports in education is booming, and the field needs
empirical studies to help ground much of what is going on in the
field. Over the last couple years, there appears to be a large
amount of anecdotal evidence surrounding esports and its role in
education, but researchers, teachers, coaches, and organizations
need peer-reviewed, research-based evidence so they can evolve the
field at large. As the amount of esports teams and organizations
continues to rise, so will the need for the field to provide
empirical research about esports and education and the effect it
has on students and those who partake in it. Esports Research and
Its Integration in Education is an essential reference source for
those interested in educational research related to esports topics
as they are approached through multiple ages of schooling and
infused throughout a variety of content areas and research
methodologies. The book covers empirical studies that help
practitioners to understand how esports is developing within and
around learning institutions and what the impact may be on students
and their contemporary educational experiences. Covering topics
such as college and career readiness, literacy practices, and urban
education, this text is essential for stakeholders involved in the
rise of esports, administrators, teachers, coaches, researchers,
students, and academicians.
In today's modernized world, the field of healthcare has seen
significant practical innovations with the implementation of
computational intelligence approaches and soft computing methods.
These two concepts present various solutions to complex scientific
problems and imperfect data issues. This has made both very popular
in the medical profession. There are still various areas to be
studied and improved by these two schemes as healthcare practices
continue to develop. Computational Intelligence and Soft Computing
Applications in Healthcare Management Science is an essential
reference source that discusses the implementation of soft
computing techniques and computational methods in the various
components of healthcare, telemedicine, and public health.
Featuring research on topics such as analytical modeling, neural
networks, and fuzzy logic, this book is ideally designed for
software engineers, information scientists, medical professionals,
researchers, developers, educators, academicians, and students.
Throughout the world, artificial intelligence is reshaping
businesses, trade interfaces, economic activities, and society as a
whole. In recent years, scholarly research on artificial
intelligence has emerged from a variety of empirical and applied
domains of knowledge. Computer scientists have developed advanced
deep learning algorithms to leverage its utility in a variety of
fields such as medicine, energy, travel, education, banking, and
business management. Although a growing body of literature is
shedding light on artificial intelligence-enabled difficulties,
there is still much to be gained by applying fresh theory-driven
techniques to this vital topic. Revolutionizing Business Practices
Through Artificial Intelligence and Data-Rich Environments provides
a comprehensive understanding of the business systems, platforms,
procedures, and mechanisms that underpin different stakeholders'
experiences with reality-enhancing technologies and their
transformative application in management. The book also identifies
areas in various business processes where artificial intelligence
intervention would not only transform the business but would also
make the business more sustainable. Covering key topics such as
blockchain, business automation, and manufacturing, this reference
work is ideal for computer scientists, business owners, managers,
industry professionals, researchers, academicians, scholars,
practitioners, instructors, and students.
As digital technology continues to revolutionize the world,
businesses are also evolving by adopting digital technologies such
as artificial intelligence, digital marketing, and analytical
methods into their daily practices. Due to this growing adoption,
further study on the potential solutions modern technology provides
to businesses is required to successfully apply it across
industries. AI-Driven Intelligent Models for Business Excellence

Though in the past online learning was considered of poorer
professional quality than classroom learning, it has become a
useful and, in some cases, vital tool for promoting the inclusivity
of education. Some of its benefits include allowing greater
accessibility to educational resources previously unattainable by
those in rural areas, and in current times, it has proven to be a
critical asset as universities shut down due to natural disasters
and pandemics. Examining the current state of distance learning and
determining online assessment tools and processes that can enhance
the online learning experience are clearly crucial for the
advancement of modern education. The Handbook of Research on
Determining the Reliability of Online Assessment and Distance
Learning is a collection of pioneering investigations on the
methods and applications of digital technologies in the realm of
education. It provides a clear and extensive analysis of issues
regarding online learning while also offering frameworks to solve
these addressed problems. Moreover, the book reviews and evaluates
the present and intended future of distance learning, focusing on
the societal and employer perspective versus the academic
proposals. While highlighting topics including hybrid teaching,
blended learning, and telelearning, this book is ideally designed
for teachers, academicians, researchers, educational
administrators, and students.
