Introduction: Pregnancy is a period of doubts and anxiety for most pregnant women. Objective: To evaluate the use of the Internet as a support tool to clarify doubts raised by women during pregnancy. Methods: An exploratory and descriptive study. Sample based on accidentalness, for 241 users who responded to the on-line form, built with Google Docs and made available in  one Blog. Results: 98% of pregnant women were between 19 and 39 years, 97% with schooling above 9 years, 99% had follow up with healthcare providers. Regarding the use of the Internet, 99% said they usually search for the pregnancy questions. The doubts consisted mostly in the search for information about the development of the baby, then how to deal with the discomforts of pregnancy, the changes in the woman’s body and feeding care. The choice of the sites, according to the interviewees, occurred mainly through the indication of social networks, friends and acquaintances. Regarding to the resolution of doubts, 97% reported that after the Internet search doubts were resolved. Conclusion: The Internet has been a tool of support for pregnant women who seek effective support on the World Wide Web to clarify their doubts. The significant standard for clarification and education reflected a customer that will search and possibly question the procedures and practices that are performed during prenatal care. However, the search for sites has been based on independent research guidance by health professionals, something which does not ensure the credibility of the sites surveyed by users.

Kearsley (1998) writes that “technology is often seen as a quick fix, a siren song,” and warns that “educational technology is a distraction … from what matters most— effective learning and good teaching.” The approach taken often seems more in the vein of entertainment than education, with television-type material creating an expectation of how information will be presented; the linkup of the Internet and television through streamed video may just exacerbate this. It is our view that information technology (IT) is unlikely to create empty institutions delivering distance learning, but is more likely to create distanceless learning, which is actually more accessible to all potential students. What this implies, and few in the academic professions yet understand properly, is that the whole business of delivering teaching is likely to be transformed in a way that has not happened for generations. While it is possible to develop IT-based approaches that, to some extent, mirror traditional methods of remote learning by isolated individuals and which has little or nothing to do with lifelong experiences or expertise, most academics will find themselves forced to confront very basic questions about what it is that they are trying to achieve and how they might best go about achieving those desired outcomes.

From the emergencies of COVID-19, the government made a policy of learning from home including lectures. But in its procurement, online lectures have many notes, especially from students as one of the online lecturers part. This study aims to determine the perceptions of students in Surabaya about online lectures when the COVID-19 pandemic. The Surabaya study is a research location because Surabaya is the second largest city after Jakarta which has the highest COVID-19 case in East Java Province. Researchers use the theory of Kenneth K. , Edward M. , Judy C. Pearson and Paul E. Nelson in (2008) about the stages of the process of perception, namely stimulation (sensation), attention, and interpretation. The method used is qualitative. The informants in this study were active students at the 10 best universities in East Java according to . In addition to using interview techniques, researchers also made observations on the 10 university's official social media accounts. As a result, students in Surabaya perceived that online lectures during a pandemic were good enough to reduce the spread of the corona virus. But in its implementation, students feel less satisfied with several aspects, one of which is the online learning support facilities provided by the campus such as the internet quota, even though the intensity of the assignments is greater than face-to-face lectures.

The problem in this study is that teachers still have difficulty in carrying out student attitude assessment through the attitude assessment rubric, in the 2013 curriculum students are required to be more active and the teacher acts as a facilitator, but the teachers in SMK 1 West Sumatra have not been able to position themselves as facilitators. So the learning objectives that have been outlined by the 2013 curriculum have not been maximally achieved. Furthermore, the lack of use of instructional media as a learning support tool, so that learning implemented by SMK 1 West Sumatra is less varied, learning direct learning models that are still not maximally implemented by teachers and the lack of awareness of SMK 1 West Sumatra teachers in participating in curriculum training in 2013. The research objective is to explain the relationship of 21st century teacher skills with the implementation of the 2013 curriculum at SMK 1 West Sumatra. This research uses correlational quantitative research. Based on the research results obtained that there is a positive and significant relationship of 21st century teacher skills with the implementation of the 2013 curriculum at SMK 1 West Sumatra with a contribution percentage of 50.4%.

Web Based Academic Monitoring and Analysis Dashboard is a newly developed learning support tool that is believed to allow students and teachers to review their online learning behavior patterns intuitively through the provision of visual information. The purpose of this study was to provide virtual experience to users using business intelligence (BI) for better decision making relation to academics and To optimize the work and to bring efficiency in data analysis and make it more convinent to understand. Owing to the multitude of benefits, Web Based Academic Monitoring integrated with Analytics Dashboard System has become a buzz amongst top-notch educators these days. It can handle everyday tasks of institutions & generate various reports with high accuracy that can minimize the workload of faculty. However, education experts state that tracking student’s progress is an integral part of institutional growth. So, educators must choose an efficient ERP Software that can monitor & track student’s progress. Faculty members can note down the weak areas & ask students with low grades to attend extra-classes. Teachers can monitor their weekly & monthly performance simply by logging in their dashboard portal at regular intervals to understand whether their hard work is paying off or not. Sometimes what happens is, a faculty member better at teaching Mathematics may not be able to deliver good performance while teaching English. So, with the help of analytics dashboards reports, educators can analyze the forte of teachers and assign them subjects where they can excel. It will make the task of teachers much simpler & help them monitor their students with ease.

In this paper a generative framework for creativity is presented which extends upon Wallas’s model of creativity (1926), social learning theories and creativity theories. The framework offered here presents a distillation of learning and crea-tivity theory drawing upon salient roots of both creativity and learning theories in the 21st century. The generative framework can be instantiated for use as a learning support tool to assist with the design of classroom and / or other crea-tive learning experiences. Creativity theories are discussed in relation to their appropriateness of the framework. An explanation of the framework is present-ed and an example instantiation provided. The development of the generative framework has been influenced by psychological accounts of creativity and socio-constructivist accounts of learning. The framework presented here has a number of implications for creativity theory as well as teaching and learning practice.

The purpose of this study is to support learning activity in the Internet learning space. In this paper, the authors examine knowledge management and the presentation of information for collaborative learning support. RAPSODY-EX (Remote and Adaptive Educational Environment: A Dynamic Communicative System for Collaborative Learning) is a remote learning support environment organized as a learning infrastructure. RAPSODY-EX can effectively carry out collaborative learning support in asynchronous and synchronous learning modes. Remote learning is a learning style in which both individual and collaborative learning are carried out via a multimedia communication network. In the remote learning environment, the arrangement and integration of information are designed to support the decision making of learners and mediators. The aim of the project is to construct a continuously growing digital portfolio database. In addition, the architecture required for the learning environment which includes such a database is examined.
