Many education and health programs are conducted in groups (Wass, 1994) and it has been suggested that group approaches are becoming increasingly important in health care (Rosenbaum & Patterson, 1995). The benefits of a group approach are usually reported to arise out of the functioning of the group itself by, for example providing peer support, and/or be a cost-effective utilisation of resources (Dignan & Carr, 1992). The aim here is to illustrate the value of taking group processes into account in the design and implementation of group-based programs. A postgraduate educational program for health care practitioners in interpersonal skills will be used to illustrate the application of groupwork theory.

Whilst the potential of blended learning to provide cost effective and quality learning experiences in adult education is generally acknowledged, deciding ‘what to blend?’ and ‘how to blend?’ is challenging. The design and implementation of blended learning is specific to the learning situation. Given the range of possible learning situations and the wide array of possible tools there are virtually endless possibilities for the blended learning designs. Those first embarking on blended learning ventures are faced with the task of surveying the vast quantity of resulting literature to gain a fundamental understanding of the concept and its implementation. For those beginning to implement blended learning in adult education contexts, this chapter attempts to provide a starting point for further exploration. This chapter seeks to lay foundations for understanding the concept of blended learning by firstly defining the term, and then highlighting key design concepts by discussing appropriate philosophical foundations and instructional design principles. An overview of some of the existing models and frameworks for blended learning in adult education is then given. Finally, some of the advantages and challenges of blended learning are discussed and future directions and research issues are identified.

This paper demonstrates the design and implementation of a GSM based digital energy monitoring device. Firstly fuzzy based model is developed to replicate the characteristic of current and voltage sensors. The entire system is also studied and simulated in terms of utility side supply, load, microcontroller digitization and GSM communication. A virtual data sharing technic is also studied for the proposed system using state flow logic. A prototype system is verified real-time with its test and verification phase results. In this work, remote monitoring of electricity has been made easier for the utility. Demand side management is also presented as customers can instantly get their electricity consumptions when requested. Further, an effective overcurrent monitoring system has been embedded along with a backup battery source. Results obtained from the experiments prove that with this emerging technology it is possible to move towards a smarter grid at a rapid and cost effective way.
