Tourism provides many advantages for Sweden and the whole world, as well as its travelers. Since almost all types of tourism are currently in crisis as a result of the current COVID-19 pandemic, information and communication technology is expected to play a role, not only during the crisis but also in the post-COVID-19 era. Thus, with no expectations from types of tourism, Sweden needs to broaden its digital tours. As a result, this letter aims to classify the transition readiness of industry clusters for this digitalization move. An extended version of the TOPSIS technique was formulated and validated, plus a new framework for measuring digitalization readiness for this purpose. Lastly, analysis of the collected data proves that business tourism could lead the change, though adventure and rural tourism are at the farthest point from being considered ready to change.

Almost all countries in the world have been affected by the Covid-19 virus pandemic, including Indonesia. The Indonesian government established a Large-Scale Social Restriction policy in an effort to break the chain of spreading the covid-19 virus. The limited movement of people makes information and communication technology play a very important role as well as a solution to overcome these restrictions. Technology helps parents to keep working and finish their work from home, shop from home and children can learn from home so that effective and efficient distance learning activities can be realized. Optimizing the use of information and communication technology in the family provides more benefits for all family members during the Covid-19 pandemic due to the imposition of social restrictions that require all to stay at home.

ABSTRACTTechnology  is  emerging  as  an  essential  tool  for  knowledge  creation  and  social  improvement.  In  the  field  of education, the inclusion of technology is essential in almost all areas. In this context it is important to analyze the weight of  information  and  communication  technology  (ICT),  such  as  the  Internet,  as  a  factor  in  student  choice  in  access  to college. In this paper we study the impact of the Internet and other formulas (references, visits, mass media) to get information in order to enter university, key decision for the younger generations of our society.RESUMENLa tecnología es una herramienta esencial tanto para la creación de conocimiento como para la mejora social. En el terreno de la educación, la inclusión de la tecnología es imprescindible en casi todos los ámbitos. En ese contexto, es relevante analizar el peso de las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación (TIC), en este caso Internet, como factor de elección de los estudiantes en el acceso a la Universidad. En este artículo estudiamos el impacto de Internet entre otras fórmulas (referencias, visitas, medios de comunicación) para conseguir información de cara a acceder a la Universidad, decisión clave para las generaciones jóvenes de nuestra sociedad.

The purpose of this article is to discuss the literature review and observable experiences on mixed reality posed by the use of information and communication technology (ICT) systems in the education system in the South African landscape. Human progress in the 21st century has been characterised by the rise of computer technology, that has become a defining feature in almost all social spheres. However, the reality shows that though ICT is celebrated for its undisputed, “uncertainty” and efficient services, especially when it comes to communication, information and dissemination. It also tends to encourage the abandonment of other modes of communication, specifically in relation to teaching and learning. In discovering the challenges and possibilities posed by the information technology, the notion of a didactical triangle will be explored. Literature reveals that the advent of ICT brought about various developmental opportunities and threats to human life. This article argues that consideration of institution and context is fundamental when it comes to a better understanding of the practicalities of information technology. This article will add value by shedding light on the realities and challenges in relation to ICT on the human life. The conclusion is that interventions that relates to information and communication technology have to seriously consider the structural constraints of access and social inequity as well as the effects of coloniality.

Abstract The study explored the availability of information and communication technology (ICT) resources for instruction in selected colleges of education based on institutional ownership in Kano State. The study used a survey research design. A researcher-designed questionnaire and an adapted checklist from the National Commission for Colleges of Education, Minimum Standard (2012) for data collection. Mean and simple percentages were used to analyze the research questions. A total of 286 lecturers were proportionately sampled from Federal College of Education, Kano and Sa’adatu Rimi College of Education, Kumbotso, Kano, which were purposively selected for the study. A reliability value of 0.72  was obtained for the frequency of utilization instrument using Cronbach Alpha. The findings revealed that the two Colleges of Education have almost all of the ICT resources required by National Commission of Colleges of Education (NCCE) in Nigeria. The findings also revealed that lecturers’ frequency of use of ICT resources for instruction was not fully encouraged. The study concluded that Colleges of Education in Kano state have basic ICT resources as required by NCCE. The study therefore recommended, among others, that government and school management should provide an enabling environment, such as the provision of infrastructure facilities, internet connectivity, and stable power supply, among others.

AbstractCOVID-19 changed the context for Information and Communication Technology (ICT) use globally. With face-to-face practice restricted, almost all communication with clients shifted to ICTs. Starting in April 2019, we conducted semi-structured interviews with social workers from four agencies serving diverse populations in a large urban centre, with the aim of exploring social workers’ informal ICT use with clients. Approximately 6 weeks after the cessation of face-to-face practice in March 2020 due to COVID-19 measures, we re-interviewed social workers (n = 11) who had participated in our study. Second interviews were based on a newly developed interview guide that explored social workers’ use of ICTs with clients in the context of COVID-19. Analysis of transcribed interviews revealed that the context of COVID-19 had generated two main themes. One, a paradigm shift for social workers was characterized by (a) diverse ICT options, (b) client-driven approach, and (c) necessary creativity. The second theme entails the impact of this transition which involved (a) greater awareness of clients’ degree of access, (b) confidentiality and privacy, and (c) professional boundaries. We discuss these themes and sub-themes and present implications for practice and research in a Post-COVID-19 world.

Abstract Information and communication technology (ICT) has revolutionized almost all aspects of human life. Thus, examining the effect of this technology on social problems such as traffic congestion, environmental pollution, urban design, land use etc. is of immense importance for transportation planning. Using 303 questionnaires completed correctly by residents of Tehran, this study applied Structural Equation Modelling to investigate the effect of ICT usage in a broader definition on 27 types of out-of-home activities, which were classified into three categories of subsistence, maintenance and leisure activities. The results showed the complementary/generation effect of ICT usage on travel demand. The use of ICT was also found to increase the time spent on subsistence activities and decrease the time spent on maintenance activities, as out-of-home maintenance activities can be carried out more easily and rapidly by Internet, and so people naturally prefer to follow this approach.
