Project Report On E-Resource Technology
[attachment=66579]
ABSTRACT
“E-Resource Technology” is education based website/software , helping students to get all resources & study materials of every courses available. It uses “E-Book” facility. It is reliable & time efficient approach compared to all links of the website provided by any search engine while searching for course materials. To provide official & legal links of the website from which user(student ) can download resources & study materials of relevant course . Only accessible after registering to that specific website. Getting associated with professors of esteemed institutes & colleges. To provide interaction between professor & students (users). Getting associated with well known publication house so as to students can access soft copy of books published for future use. Not all links provided by GOOGLE are relevant. This would provide a better service. Not all links provided by GOOGLE are virus free or recommended to download. This would be a better approach. To implement this time efficient strategic. E-Learning Resource Locator provides an easy way to access this website and get study materials and textbooks. This is time efficient when compared to other search engines. Here we can get materials directly just by providing the publications name and can download any course materials. By this it will be easy to the students, professors, and other users to access materials from anywhere. In some websites they cannot provide permissions for downloading materials. This problem is solved by using this application. In these application power point presentations can also be available where users can understand it better.

“E-Resource Technology” is education based website/software, helping students to get all resources & study materials of every course available. It uses “E-Book” facility. It is reliable & time efficient approach compared to all links of the website provided by any search engine while searching for course materials. E-Resource Technology is any type of learning that takes place through or with a computer. E-Resource Technology is primarily facilitated through the Internet but can also be accomplished with CD-ROMs and DVDs, streaming audio or video and other media. The purpose of e- Resource Technology is to allow people to learn for personal accomplishment. E-Resource Technology can be applied for all levels of schooling from grade school to graduate degrees, and is versatile enough to accommodate all learning style.

This problem is solved by using this application. In this application power point presentations can also be available where users can understand it better. E-learning refers to the use of technology in learning and education. There are several aspects to describing the intellectual and technical development of e-learning, which can be categorized into discrete areas. These are addressed in turn in the sections of this article: E-learning as an educational approach or tool that supports traditional subjects. E-learning as a technological medium that assists in the communication of knowledge, and its development and exchange. E-learning itself as an educational subject; such courses may be called "Computer Studies" or "Information and Communication Technology (ICT)"; E-learning administrative tools such as education management information systems (EMIS).
Necessity
Necessity of “E-recourse Technology” is improved open access to education, including access to full degree programs. Better integration for non-full-time students, particularly in continuing education. Improved interactions between students and instructors. Provision of tools to enable students to independently solve problems, Acquisition of technological skills through practice with tools and computers. For many students, e-learning is the most convenient way to pursue a degree in higher education. A lot of these students are attracted to a flexible, self-paced method of education to attain their degree. It is important to note that many of these students could be working their way through college, supporting themselves or battling with serious illness. To these students, it would be extremely difficult to find time to fit college in their schedule. Thus, these students are more likely and more motivated to enroll in an e-learning class. Moreover, in asynchronous e-learning classes, students are free to log on and complete work any time they wish. They can work on and complete their assignments at the times when they think most cogently, whether it be early in the morning or late at night.
However, many teachers have a harder time keeping their students engaged in an e-learning class. A disengaged student is usually an unmotivated student, and an engaged student is a motivated student. One reason why students are more likely to be disengaged is that the lack of face-to-face contact makes it difficult for teachers to read their students' nonverbal cues, including confusion, boredom or frustration. These cues are helpful to a teacher in deciding whether to speed up, introduce new material, slow down or explain a concept in a different way. If a student is confused, bored or frustrated, he or she is unlikely to be motivated to succeed in that class.
LITERATURE SURVEY
The quality of information on the web has always been a major concern for internet users. There have been studies on what factors of data quality are important for users for distinguishing high-quality and low-quality web pages.
The World Wide Web has become a necessary part of our lives and might have become the most important information source for most people. Every day, people retrieve all kinds of information from the Web. For example, when shopping online, people find product specifications from websites like Amazon.com or ShopZilla.com. When looking for interesting DVDs, they get information and read movie reviews on websites such as NetFlix.com or IMDB. com. When they want to know the answer to a certain question, they go to Ask.com or Google.com.
There have been many studies on ranking web pages according to authority (or popularity) based on hyperlinks. The most influential studies are Authority-Hub analysis, and page rank, which lead to Google.com. However, does authority lead to accuracy of information? The answer is unfortunately no. Top-ranked websites are usually the most popular ones. However, popularity does not mean accuracy. For example, the bookstores ranked on top by Google (Barnes & Noble and Powell’s books) contain many errors on book author information. In comparison, some small bookstores (e.g., A1 Books) provide more accurate information.
Unfortunately, the popularity of web pages does not necessarily lead to accuracy of information. Two observations are made in our experiments: 1) even the most popular website may contain many errors, whereas some comparatively not-so-popular websites may provide more accurate information, and 2) more accurate information can be inferred by using many different websites instead of relying on a single website.
Limitations
The availability of most journals on JSTOR is controlled by a "moving wall," which is an agreed-upon delay between the current volume of the journal and the latest volume available on JSTOR. This time period is specified by agreement between JSTOR and the publisher and is usually 3–5 years. Publishers can request that the period of a "moving wall" be changed or request discontinuation of coverage. Formerly publishers could also request that the "moving wall" be changed to a "fixed wall" – a specified date after which JSTOR would not add new volumes to its database. As of November 2010, "fixed wall" agreements were still in effect with three publishers of 29 journals made available online through sites controlled by the publishers.
However, in 2010, JSTOR started adding current issues of certain journals through its Current Scholarship Program.
Evaluating Students' Participation in On-Line Discussions
There are many commercially available on-line courseware packages that include options for implementing on-line discussion tools (HREF2; HREF3;HREF4; HREF5). However, does access to
these tools and the knowledge that their on-line participation will be assessed, encourage students' on-line participation? Klemm and Snell (HREF6) maintain that "...commonly, many students "lurk" in the background without making contributions...such discussions are not very rigorous and...the quality of instruction suffers unless the teacher takes special care to create a more challenging learning environment". Where discussion is considered a necessary learning method (HREF7), the challenge to the educator is to facilitate effective student participation (HREF8). This concept of learning through discussion and interaction with others is an aspect of Bandura's (1971) "social learning theory" - where understanding and learning is acquired through modeling the behaviors, attitudes, and reactions of others. Modeling is the process of observing, formulating an understanding and finally using that understanding as a guide to one's own behavior (Bandura, 1971).
