A Study on the Effectiveness of Computer Games in Teaching and LearningIJASCSE
Games, especially computer games are becoming one of the tools of education. Nowadays, the usage of computer games as an educational tool has become a worldwide trend. An early assumption suggests that since the appeal of computer games can engage interest and motivation, thus it is a wise step to use computer games for the purpose of educating. This is because students often get bored with the learning process; therefore we need to find creative ways to teach them. Instead of the usual, dull lesson in class, educators are trying out new ways to attract the interest of students to focus the lessons and thus increase their understanding, with one of it using computer games. A lot of papers supported the idea of computer games being effective as an aid for students. Educators alike also agreed that it is one of the ways to gain students interest in their lessons. Before coming to the ultimate conclusion that computer games are a good choice, first of all we need to study carefully the effectiveness of using computer games as an educational medium. This paper aims to study the effectiveness of computer games in learning among students. Issues on the integration of computer games in formal education are and the current status of educational gaming in learning were reviewed in this paper. We focused on higher learning context which is for university students.
EFFECT OF DIGITAL LITERACY ON INFORMATION SEEKING BEHAVIOUR AMONG MANAGERS OF...IAEME Publication
This paper highlights the effect of Digital literacy on digital information seeking
behaviour and use among managers of telecommunication companies in Saudi Arabia.
The study adopts a quantitative research approach. The researcher uses information
from the survey to generalise findings from a sample to a population. A sample size of
500 was anticipated from the total population of approximately 850 managers from the
four telecommunication companies. For the primary data collection in this study, a
survey questionnaire was employed. The findings indicate a positive effect of digital
literacy. The emergence of digital information disseminations in a digital knowledgebased system yielded improved skills and capabilities for both individuals and
organisations in information use. The use of a single-informant method, a crosssectional research design and a focus on four telecommunication companies in Saudi
Arabia are the constraints of this study

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
