ABSTRACT
Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, dance education, which is heavily dependent on a face-to-face model, had to change and continue in a virtual environment. How did the rapid adoption of online technologies affect tertiary dance educators' teaching? More importantly, what were the practical ideas and effective tools/strategies learned to move dance scholarship and practice into a post-pandemic era? This study investigates nine tertiary dance educators from Europe, Oceania, North America, and Asia, who conducted online dance classes during the pandemic. This study has utilized multiple sources of data (images, videos, and writings) from dance educators to explore the challenges, benefits, and innovations in the context of virtual dance teaching. Dance educators have shared their views on teaching dance online: tools they have utilized as well as pros and cons with regards to different pedagogies and learning spaces. Findings indicate that the present online model will have a significant impact on future dance education. This article shares lessons and insights on tools, pedagogies, and strategies, which not only support dance education in a post-pandemic era but can also benefit other practice-based subjects at large. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.

ABSTRACT
Physical documents may easily be converted into digital versions in the modern digital era by employing scanning software and the internet. The day when this activity needed printers and scanners is long gone. Nowadays, even our smartphones and cameras may be used to quickly convert paper documents into digital ones. This is especially useful in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, where the ability to share and access documents online is more important than ever. This study proposes an application for illiterate people to quickly translate scanned papers or photos into their native language and save them in a digital format. The Application makes use of image processing methods and has capabilities including PDF conversion, image colour adjustment, cropping, and Optical Character Recognition (OCR). A user-friendly application, developed using the Flutter Framework and programmed in Python and Dart, serves as the interface for the system. The proposed application is cross-platform and works with a variety of gadgets. This method intends to increase accessibility and productivity for illiterate people in the digital age by integrating image processing with language translation. © 2023 IEEE.
ABSTRACT
The purpose of the study is to develop and test the original model which illustrates the development of personality in the information society. The study involved two Russian universities, higher educational institutions of the Arab Emirates and Kazakhstan. A total of 400 students participated in the research. The experiment consisted of three stages: introductory, experimental, and final. At the introductory stage of the study, the influences of the information society on the development of human personal qualities were analyzed. At the experimental stage, the original model which illustrates the development of personality in the information society was developed and implemented. At the final stage, the students were surveyed in accordance with the original methodology for the use of the capabilities and resources of the information society for personality development. After the implementation of the model, the number of students using the capabilities of the information society for personal development, the development of professional skills, and maintaining and strengthening health increased by 18.5%, 18.7%, and 10%, respectively. The practical value of the scientific research results relates to the possibility of using the questionnaires and models of personality development in the context of the information society in the higher education system of Russia, the Arab Emirates, Kazakhstan, and other countries. The model described in the study is relevant in the context of the transfer of the educational process in higher education to a distance format and the growing social isolation of an individual caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
ABSTRACT
With the full arrival of the digital era, fueled by both information technology and business marketing, rumors are produced and spread endlessly on social networks. During the recent novel coronavirus pneumonia epidemic, online rumors have continued to flourish. Most existing studies on traditional rumor detection rely on a large number of features in practical applications. However, the current severe epidemic scenarios have limited rumor information features, and it remains a challenging problem to detect epidemic rumors with high accuracy using only limited information. As a result, we propose a novel Few-shot Rumor Detection model (FRD) for the novel coronavirus pneumonia, which is combined with meta-learning to be able to accurately identify rumors as soon as possible in crises. Specifically, we started by using the BERT+BiLSTM combination for rumor text feature extraction and representation to generate the historical rumor sample-wise vector and epidemic rumor sample-wise vector;secondly, the prototypical network was introduced to summarize the historical rumor data, and the feature vectors of samples belonging to the same category were averaged to obtain the prototype representation of historical rumor category;finally, we utilize the modified cosine similarity measure function to calculate the distance between the class-wise vector of historical rumor text and the sample-wise vector of epidemic rumor, and complete the rumor detection according to the nearest neighbor method. Our experimental results on English datasets show that the FRD rumor detection model proposed in this paper is superior to other baseline algorithms in terms of accuracy, precision, recall and macro F1 value. From the comparison of experimental results, the FRD model can effectively improve conventional rumor detection methods, and better realize the early detection of sudden epidemic rumors. © 2022 IEEE.

ABSTRACT
The digital era, which is a jargon in welcoming the technological developments has given birth to a new form of learning that eliminates the requirement of physical presence of teachers and students within the same place and time, or it can be known as Online Learning. The possibility for the institution of education in supporting their business into a new level of services in supporting their ecosystem have met the challenges of the readiness in doing the transformation from the traditional learning within the context of human resources, technology, and learning concept into a syllabus with the purpose of achieving the same level or output. When the Corona Virus Diseases 19 (COVID 19) made drastic changes in every aspect that afterwards became a global pandemic, the implementation of online learning would ensure the survivability of the educational institution in keeping their business. Telkom University, as one of private university in Indonesia, with the student body almost reaches 30.000, uses Learning Management System (LMS) in enabling the learning activities as the primary solution but has a problem in ensuring no cheating activities during the examination. As the common approach in ensuring the integrity of online examination through LMS with the creation of question bank and randomize the question is seen as not efficient, the institution also tries to monitor and control with the implementation of video conference-based application like ZOOM and Safe Exam Browser (SEB), but raises another problem in cost, compatibility issues, and motivation issues. Proctoring has become another approach that is recently has continue evolving with the involvement from Artificial Intelligence (AI) in doing the facial recognition. This research will develop the proctoring tools that can be integrated with the LMS used in Telkom University as the strategy in preventing misconduct behavior that led to academic cheating in online examination. © 2022 ACM.
ABSTRACT
In the digital era, enormous amounts of data have been generated in education that has led to data driven approaches which in turn help effective decision making. Educational data mining has been used as a very effective tool for identifying the hidden patterns in educational data, predicting students' performance and to enhance the teaching /learning environment. Educational data mining tools and techniques help institutes in providing information about students e.g., about enrolment of students, weak students can be identified earlier so that various corrective strategies can be applied, and various resources can be allocated to enhance their performance and their success in courses they enrolled. This paper examines the research efforts that have been made in the field of educational data mining and the various educational data mining tools and techniques used in recent years for predicting student's performance. We live in a world where enormous volumes of data are collected, but if these data are not further examined, they remain nothing more than enormous amounts of data We may use this data, analyze it, and gain a significant edge by using new approaches and procedures. Data mining is the ideal approach in this situation. Extraction of hidden and valuable information and patterns from massive data sets is known as data mining. It has already been widely used in several fields, including banking, sales, marketing, telecommunications, and finance. This essay aims to introduce a unique use of data mining for education, known as educational data mining. An interdisciplinary study topic called Educational Data Mining (EDM) was established to apply data mining to the educational sector. To examine the data gathered during teaching and learning, it employs a variety of tools and methodologies from machine learning, statistics, data mining, and data analysis. The process of turning large educational databases' raw data into useful information that can be used for decision-making in educational systems as well as for a better understanding of students and their learning circumstances is known as educational data mining. © 2022 IEEE.
ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT
In this digital era of online processing, most information is accessible electronically and is prone to cyber threats. There is a vast range of cyber threats whose behavior is hard to understand in the early phases. These attacks may have some motivation behind them that have significant societal impacts in the form of economic damage, psychological disturbance, a threat to national security, and so on. With the worldwide spread of COVID-19, India experienced an astonishing 86% rise in cybercrimes. Nowadays, cybercrime has become an attractive strategy for hackers to create chaos and disruption. This paper is based on the quantitative analysis of cybercrime in India and its impacts on society, with preventive measures to handle them. In our study, we found that digital related offenses and online frauds are drastically increasing in India during COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, awareness campaigns and security solutions are needed to prevent or mitigate them. © 2022 IEEE.
ABSTRACT
Purpose>Currently, knowing where to seek for reliable information may be one of the most important human skills. Data reliability is a matter of debate. The online dissemination of information has been a field for the reproduction of fake news. International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) states that libraries are part of the answer to this ever-increasing problem. The purpose of the study is to investigate libraries' role in combating the fake news phenomenon.Design/methodology/approach>The study was designed to record attitudes of professionals and students of library science on the libraries' role in the battle against misinformation. The study was conducted through an online survey using a questionnaire consisted of closed-ended, seven-point Likert scale questions. The data collected were subjected to a descriptive statistical analysis. The median was used to present the results. In order to perform analysis between genders, as well as age groups, the non-parametric criteria Mann–Whitney U and Kruskal–Wallis were applied to determine the existence of differences in participants' beliefs. Spearman's rank correlation test was used in order to examine whether participants' replies were interrelated.Findings>Responses by 434 individuals were obtained. Participants highlighted primarily the educational role of libraries and agreed that the fake news phenomenon is an opportunity to promote the libraries' role in society. No clear direction was recorded in the participants' beliefs about the plethora of information and fake news as a potential threat to libraries. The respondents partly agreed that the plethora of information caused work-related emotional disorders and feeling that the respondents were not able to keep track of developments in the field. Finally, the study depicted the participants' need for training on combating fake news, information sources evaluation and recognizing predatory journals.Originality/value>The study's significance lies in the following: the study contributes to the recording of professionals' as well as students of library science views about (1) libraries' role, (2) working environment and (3) training needs, concerning fake news and the overabundance of information in the digital era.
ABSTRACT
The technological developments associated with the modern era have led to dynamic social literacy changes in adolescents. This concept has led to studies on various theoretical perspectives, and its integration into the school curriculum has been encouraged by governments from several countries. However, social literacy is a complicated idea in practice because it comprises considerable theoretical, practical, and ethical challenges. Therefore, this study provides a better understanding of the social literacy complexity by summarizing the main perspectives or existing social literacy practices in the field. It also identifies key aspects in a particular concept of social literacy and explains the process associated with its formulation by several literacy educators. The results showed that educators can use an alternative approach, strategies, or learning models to develop new values, norms, and habits for adolescents in online learning situations, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.
ABSTRACT
This article investigates the relevance of research through Active Learning Methodology mediated by Digital Technologies in emergency remote teaching in the COVID-19 Pandemic. The work is made up of reflections based on the literature and on the authors' experience with the theme in the educational context. The research has a qualitative approach, and the data sources consist of books, scientific articles, and other printed and digital works. The results allow us to state that innovative teaching, which differs from traditionalism -which treated the subject as a mere receiver of knowledge and the educator as the holder of knowledge -enables new attitudes in the act of teaching, adapting to the real context of society and the experiences of students, since they are the focus of education. And the Active Methodologies can guide and mediate teaching-learning in the classroom, helping students to be protagonists through research and technologies in contemporary times.
ABSTRACT
This article aims to examine the reality of the COVID-19 pandemic constructed by online media outlets in Indonesia as one of the primary sources of information during the crisis. It uses qualitative content analysis to determine how online media in Indonesia construct the reality of COVID-19. The country's eight most accessed online media websites are the objects of this study with a three-unit analysis: context, message, and tone. The result shows that Indonesian media coverage has predominantly emphasised the pandemic's political context over the health and economic context. Informants have predominantly been politicians;epidemiologists and scientists have been given little space. In this case, the media system in Indonesia through online news media were not able to play an optimal role in the early phases of the pandemic due to the tendency of this news construction.
ABSTRACT
The inception of Industry 4.0 has forced us to rethink the HR function and human capital management. Futurists predict that more than half of the jobs we are doing today will be replaced by smart technology, artificial intelligence and robots. The onset of the Covid-19 epidemic has accelerated the adoption of technology in the workplace. In this changing world of work, the only thing that we can count on is change. Limited research is available on how employees perceive and cope with these technological advancements and changes within the working environment, and specifically how it influences their jobs and careers. Positive coping strengths are essential personal resources which help employees in dealing constructively with the changes in the workplace as well as the complex interaction between the individual and the environment. Advancing research and knowledge in the psychosocial variables that influence the agile coping behaviour of employees has become important to help employees to be able to survive in the digital era. This chapter explores the agile coping dynamics within this future workplace by looking at the relationship between positive coping behaviour, workplace friendships and career adaptability. Based on these findings and recommendations, HR practitioners can utilise the information to assist employees in building agile coping mechanisms to survive and excel in the changes brought by the digital era.

ABSTRACT
The emergence of digital technologies has profoundly affected and transformed almost every aspect of societal relations. These impacts have also reached public administration, including its governance. Digital technologies’ rise has paved the way for the surfacing of a new public governance model called the Digital Era Governance (DEG) model (often referred to as e-government, digital government, e-governance, or digital governance) in which digital technologies play a central role. Therefore, the main aim of this paper is to provide a comprehensive and in-depth examination of DEG research over the past two decades. Bibliometric analysis is based on the Scopus database that contains 9175 documents published between 2001 and 2020. In this context, several established and innovative bibliometric approaches are applied. The results reveal the growth of DEG research over the last two decades, especially in recent years, as accelerated by several of the most relevant documents published in reputable journals such as Government Information Quarterly. Most DEG research has been conducted in Anglo-Saxon countries, as confirmed while examining the most relevant authors’ affiliations and collaborations. The results also indicate that DEG has advanced from conventional public services to citizen-oriented e-services by including citizens’ participation and, most recently, even to smart services by facilitating emerging and disruptive technologies. The findings add to the stock of scientific knowledge and support the evidence-based policymaking needed to successfully pursue a sustainable future.
