M. Tech. Textile Design and Technology / Outside the classroom, students constantly interact with technologies such as smartphones, iPods the Internet and social networking sites this study has identified that these technologies can support learning both in and outside of the classroom. Through the use of a case study, 95 visual media students at Tshwane University of Technology (TUT) were approached. Three paper-based questions were administered to establish the following: What type of access do students have to different types of technologies outside of class? What number of students engage with social media for personal use? What types of educational technologies are lecturers currently using inside and outside their classrooms? This study found that visual media students at TUT are active social media users. They are enthusiastic towards efforts of integrating smartphones and social media as teaching tools for learning. Visual media students are competent at using digital editing, imaging and electronic presentation software, but lack the skills and knowledge to use online collaboration and journaling tools. Lastly, at TUT course related communication is still mainly face-to-face due to that fact that infrastructure upgrades such as in-class Wi-Fi networks are needed. IV 21st century education recognises that learning takes place in various settings (physical and virtual) and not just in the classroom. In a rapidly globalised society, smartphones and social media as teaching tools for visual media students at TUT may possibly offer an affordable and accessible medium to equip students to be able to make local and global connections.

Thesis (MA)--Stellenbosch University, 2003. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Poverty and unemployment are currently serious socio-economic problems in South Africa. One way of dealing with this problem is entrepreneurial development. Growth in the tourism sector, specifically in rural tourism, has increased substantially in South Africa in the last decade. Facilities, services and products offered by entrepreneurs are part of the South African tourism industry. This trend created a need for information concerning tourists' needs regarding products and services. The primary aim of this study was thus to investigate the needs of tourists regarding products and services which can lead to entrepreneurial development in a rural tourism setting. A literature review has been undertaken to provide an in-depth report concerning the literature that forms the theoretical basis for this study. Definition of relevant terms, the link between tourism and recreation and the positive and negative impacts of tourism were discussed. Rural tourism and sustainable tourism development were discussed next, followed by literature regarding the tourist, his/her shopping behavior and the importance of crafts. Employment generation, entrepreneurship, entrepreneurial development in tourism, entrepreneurial training and the link between entrepreneurship and crafts were also discussed. The geographical demarcation of the study was the rural town of Darling on the South African West Coast and the 15 km radius surrounding the town. This region is a popular tourist destination. Despite this, unemployment is still a serious problem. A situation analysis of the available facilities in Darling was done to determine which products, services and attractions the relevant businesses and artists of the area offer to tourists. The data analysis of the information that was gathered through document analysis and structured interviews showed that the area is popular with nature as well as culture lovers. To be able to determine the needs and compile a profile of the average tourist that visits a rural town like Darling. Tourists were approached to serve as respondents for the study. A sample was taken and the respondents completed self-administered questionnaires. Frequency and contingency tables were constructed to compile a tourist profile and to identify the needs of tourists visiting a rural region like Darling. On account of this data, shortcomings were identified between that which Darling offers and the needs of tourists. Recommendations were made concerning ways to address these shortcomings in a manner that can/may facilitate entrepreneurial development and at the same time use the existing facilities in Darling. The conclusions suggest that the businesses and artists involved in this study contribute towards tourism and to a certain extent satisfy tourists' needs. Respondents indicated, inter alia, a need for products that are unique to the area. In light of the fact that a typical "Darling product" was not identified in the situation analysis, this was found to be a particularly severe shortcoming. Recommendations were made to address the identified shortcomings by way of training programmes aimed at facilitating entrepreneurial development in Darling. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Armoede en werkloosheid is wesenlike sosio-ekonomiese probleme in Suid-Afrika. Entrepreneuriese ontwikkeling is een manier om hierdie probleme aan te spreek. Groei in die toerismesektor, spesifiek in landelike toerisme, het in die laaste dekade in Suid-Afrika skerp toegeneem. Fasiliteite, dienste en produkte van entrepreneurs maak deel uit van die Suid-Afrikaanse toerismebedryf. Hierdie tendense het 'n behoefte geskep aan inligting oor toeriste se behoeftes aan produkte en dienste wat veral deur entrepreneurs aangespreek kan word. Die hoofdoelwit van die studie was dus om ondersoek in te stel na die behoeftes van toeriste aan produkte en dienste wat kan lei na entrepreneuriese ontwikkeling in 'n landelike toerisme-area. 'n Literatuuroorsig is gedoen om 'n indiepte verslag te lewer aangaande die literatuur wat 'n teoretiese onderbou vir die studie uitmaak. Relevante begripsomskrywings, die verband tussen toerisme en rekreasie asook die positiewe en negatiewe impakte van toerisme op gebiede wat besoek word, is bespreek. Landelike toerisme en volhoubare toerisme-ontwikkeling is in oënskou geneem en literatuur oor die toeris, sy/haar inkopiegewoontes en die belang van handwerkprodukte is ondersoek. Werkskepping, entrepreneurskap, entrepreneuriese-ontwikkeling in toerisme, entrepreneuriese opleiding en die verband tussen entrepreneurskap en die beoefening van handwerk is beredeneer. Die geografiese afbakening van die studiegebied sluit Darling, 'n landelike dorpie aan die Weskus van Suid-Afrika en 'n gebied binne 'n radius van 15 km om dié dorp in. Hierdie is 'n gebied wat baie toeriste lok, maar waar werkloosheid ook aan die orde van die dag is. 'n Situasie-analise van Darling se beskikbare fasiliteite is gedoen om te bepaal watter produkte, dienste en attraksies ondernemings en kunstenaars van die dorp en omgewing aan toeriste bied. Die data-analise van die inligting wat deur dokumentanalises en gestruktureerde onderhoude ingewin is, het getoon dat die gebied gewild is by natuursowel as kultuurliefhebbers. Ten einde in staat te wees om die behoeftes te bepaal asook 'n profiel saam te stel van die gemiddelde toeris wat 'n landelike gebied soos Darling besoek, is toeriste genader om as respondente vir die studie op te tree. 'n Steekproef is geneem en self-geadministreerde vraelyste is deur die respondente voltooi. Frekwensieen gebeurlikheidstabelle is opgestel om 'n toeristeprofiel saam te stel en om die behoeftes van toeriste wat 'n landelike gebied soos Darling besoek, te identifiseer. Na aanleiding van hierdie data is leemtes geïdentifiseer tussen dit wat Darling bied en die behoeftes van die toeriste. Aanbevelings is gemaak om hierdie leemtes aan te spreek op maniere wat entrepreneuriese-ontwikkeling kan/sal fasiliteer deur reeds bestaande fasiliteite in Darling te benut. Die bevindinge dui daarop dat die ondernemings en kunstenaars wat by die studie betrokke was, bydra tot toerisme en toeriste se behoeftes gedeeltelik aanspreek. Respondente het onder meer 'n groot behoefte aan produkte wat uniek aan die gebied is, aangedui. Aangesien daar nie 'n tipiese "Darling-produk" in die situasie-analise geïdentifiseer is nie, word dit as 'n groot leemte beskou. Aanbevelings is gemaak om die geïdentifiseerde leemtes deur middel van opleidingsprogramme wat entrepreneuriese ontwikkeling in Darling sou kon fasiliteer, aan te spreek.

Thesis (MSc.)--Stellenbosch University, 2000. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: “Road deaths are no accident'. This is the slogan of Phase III of the Arrive Alive campaign which was launched on Monday, 23 November 1998. Traffic as well as the safety thereof should be the concern of every single person. Everyone is in some or other way exposed to traffic on a daily basis. The problems that are experienced with the effective enforcing of traffic regulations are extremely complex, consisting of numerous facets. It is also a problem that is experienced worldwide. Quite a few attempts have been made and are still being made in order to decrease the yearly carnage on our roads, both locally and nationally. Our main transport routes (the N1 route) carry an extremely heavy / large vehicle load. It is a problem that gets more serious each year as the number of vehicles on our roads increase. Therefor one can make the prediction that vehicle collisions will also increase on a yearly basis. The aim of this research was to identify existing geographic risk factors and human factors on the N1 route. The N1 route was selected because it is notorious for its high collision rate, and also because it is the main road transport route between the Cape and Gauteng. The number of accidents on a given track were expressed as the number of accidents per 100 million kilometers travelled, compensating for the different traffic volumes on the different tracks as well as the different track lengths. According to this a track was labelled either as a high risk or a low risk track. The seriousness of the accident was also categorized into two groups, namely serious or non-serious, depending on the severity of the injuries that were sustained in the accident. In this study it has been found that bad road and weather conditions had no significant effect on the number of accidents or the seriousness of the accidents. Although the route is not rated as challenging, it is important to mention that there is a serious tediousness aspect that is experienced over the long distances. Quite a few accidents seem to be contributed to some or other human error. Although the numbers are not standardized, certain trends could be identified when looking at the time of day, day in a week or monthly periods in a year when Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za/ more accidents took place. Finally, it has been found that a GIS has exciting application possibilities in solving traffic problems by implementing effective traffic management systems. To achieve this, existing problems and shortcomings need to be identified and addressed. However, without the help, support and co-operation of the public and authorities it would not be possible. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: “Padsterftes is geen ongeluk nie’\ so lui die slagspreuk vir Fase III van die Kom Veilig Daar - veldtog wat op Maandag, 23 November 1998 in werking getree het. Verkeer en die veiligheid daarvan raak elke landsburger persoonlik, omdat elkeen op een of ander wyse daagliks direk daaraan blootgestel word. Die probleme wat met die effektiewe toepassing van verkeersveiligheid ondervind word, is ‘n wereldwye probleem wat uit talle fasette bestaan. Verskeie pogings word tans op beide lokale en nasionale vlak aangewend om die hoeveelheid verkeersongelukke op Suid- Afrika se paaie te verminder. Suid-Afrika se hoofroetes (o.a. die N1 roete) dra geweldige hoe verkeersvolumes. Dit is ongelukkig nie net ‘n tydelike probleem nie, maar !n aspek wat jaarliks toeneem vanwee die toename in motorvoertuie. Daar is dus potensieel ook meer motorvoertuigongelukke. Hierdie navorsing het gevolglik ten doel gehad om bestaande risiko-faktore op die N1 roete te identifiseer, hetsy geografies of menslik. Die N1 roete is as studiegebied geidentifiseer vanwee sy berugtheid t.o.v. motorvoertuigongelukke, en ook omdat dit die hoof padvervoerroete tussen die Kaap en Gauteng is. Verskillende verkeersvolumes en trajeklengtes is in ag geneem ten einde die aantal ongelukke vir elke trajek te bereken. Hiervolgens is die trajekte as ‘n hoe-risiko of lae-risiko trajek getipeer afhangende van die aantal ongelukke wat op die betrokke trajek plaasgevind het, uitgedruk as die aantal ongelukke per honderd miljoen kilometer gereis. Daar is bevind dat slegte pad- en weerstoestande geen effek op die aantal of ernstigheidsgraad van die ongelukke gehad het nie. Behalwe vir die eentonigheidsaspek wat oor die lang afstande ondervind is, is die roete self nie buitengewoon uitdagend nie. ‘n Groot aantal van die ongelukke blyk direk of indirek die bestuurder se skuld te wees, wat aan ‘n verskeidenheid menslike faktore toegeskryf kan word. Alhoewel die syfers nie gestandaardiseer is nie, kon daar tog sekere tendense geidentifiseer word wat daarop dui dat daar sekere tye per dag, week, of jaar is wanneer hoer voorkomste van motorongelukke ondervind is. Ten slotte is gevind dat daar geweldig baie gebruiksmoontlikhede vir ‘n GIS bestaan om verkeersprobleme met korrekte en effektiewe verkeersbestuur die hoof te bied. T en einde dit te realiseer moet tekortkominge in bestaande praktyke aangespreek word, en moet die onontbeerlike hulp, ondersteuning en samewerking van die publiek en owerhede verkry word.
