Computer conferencing: communication for distance learners.

Abstract

Computer conferencing enables the user to easily and quickly communicate and access information from a remote site. The Nurse Practitioner Outreach program at the University of Texas School of Nursing at Galveston pilot-tested a program in which students at remote locations used computer conferencing to receive course assignments and interact with faculty members and one another. This program has provided valuable insights into the advantages and challenges of using computer conferencing in a nursing educational setting.

Wireless connectivity for health and sports monitoring: a review.

This is a review of health and sports monitoring research that uses or could benefit from wireless connectivity. New, enabling wireless connectivity standards are evaluated for their suitability, and an assessment of current exploitation of these technologies is summarised. An example of the application is given, highlighting the capabilities of a network of wireless sensors. Issues of timing and power consumption in a battery-powered system are addressed to highlight the benefits networking can provide, and a suggestion of how monitoring different biometric signals might allow one to gain additional information about an athlete or patient is made.
