The Usenet is a global computer conferencing system on which users can affix textual messages under 4500 different categories. It currently has approximately 4,165,000 readers, and these .readers have appropriated language by adapting it to the Usenet's culture and medium. This thesis conceptualizes the Usenet community's appropriation of language, provides insights into how media and media restrictions cause their users to appropriate language, and discusses how future media may further cause users to appropriate language. With the Usenet we have a chance to study a relatively new community bound by relatively new technology, and perhaps we can learn more about the appropriation process by studying the two.

Šiuo metu Lietuvoje nėra centralizuotos skatinimo bei paramos programos naudoti vaizdo konferencijas mokyklose. Stebimi pavieniai aktyvesnių mokyklų atvejai. Lietuvoje vaizdo konferencijos mokyklose labai mažai naudojamos, tai įtakoja: - Ne visos mokyklos turi pakankamą perdavimo spartą ir ryšio kokybę reikalingą norint realizuoti vaizdo konferencijas (dauguma mokyklų prijungtos radijo ryšiu). - Vaizdo konferencijoms yra reikalinga speciali įranga (pvz., kameros, mikrofonai, projektoriai, ekranai). - Vaizdo konferencijas reikia kruopščiai suplanuoti, reikalingos tam tikros techninės žinios bei įgūdžiai, jų organizavimas reikalauja atitinkamo pasirengimo. - Iniciatyvos trūkumas plėtoti tokią paslaugą mokyklų lygmenyje. Darbo tikslas – ištirti ir įvertinti vaizdo konferencijų galimybes Lietuvos mokyklose, prijungtose prie akademinio tinklo LITNET. Darbo tikslui įgyvendinti buvo iškelti tokie uždaviniai: - Informacinių komunikacinių technologijų privalumų įvertinimas; - Kitų šalių patirties analizė diegiant vaizdo konferencijas; - Vaizdo konferencijų galimybių apžvalga; - Vaizdo konferencijų technologijų nagrinėjimas; - Sprendimo reikalingo vaizdo konferencijoms mokyklose prijungtose prie LITNET tinklo organizuoti ir vykdyti analizė ir parinkimas; - Pateikti vaizdo konferencijų naudojimo mokymosi vadovą (kursą) mokytojams, norintiems išbandyti šią technologiją mokyme. / There are no centralized support and motivation system for using videoconferencing at schools in Lithuania. In this research project were measured advantages of Information Communication Technologies for learning and teaching process, analyzed videoconference’s experience at schools of United Kingdom and treated situation of Lithuanian schools connected to academic and research network LITNET. Also, there were proposed possible videoconferencing solutions according to school network connection type. The main problem of organizing videoconferences at schools – lack of teacher’s qualification and knowledge of videoconferences. There was created distance learning course “Videoconferences at schools” with purpose to encourage schools to use videoconferences. The object of this work is videoconferencing in Lithuania Schools connected to academical computer network LITNET. The problems: - Not all schools have enough bandwidth and required connectivity quality to use good quality videoconferencing (mostly connected using wireless technology); - For using videoconferences schools need to buy special equipment; - Videoconferencing needs careful planning; there are needs of special knowledge and experience for school personal. Use of videoconferences at schools provides great possibilities to active pupils learning; also provide content from remote locations. For schools that are connected with low bandwidth technology (wireless) the best solution to implement videoconferencing is to... [to full text]
