Item Cloud Services for e-Learning(2014 SouthEast Regional Conference, 2014-03) Ketel, MohammedCloud computing is growing rapidly in almost every sector including education. Many educational institutions do not have the ability to maintain the resources and/or infrastructures required to run e-learning systems and are looking for cloud based solutions. This paper introduces the benefits and limitations of cloud based e-learning.Item Developing a Forensics Tool for Social Media(2014 SouthEast Regional Conference, 2014-03) Ketel, Mohammed; Casser, TheodoreMillions of users around the world utilize social media sites on any given day, spreading information about their activities, whereabouts and thoughts to friends and interested readers. These same messages can be used to construct a digital and physical path that can be extracted for forensic analysis through application programming interfaces provided by each of the social media outlets. While there has been recent work discussing the spread of social media as a means of tracking news and trends in the world at large, little has been done to study a means to analyze the data available through social media using forensic methods. To fill this gap, an application has been created that can retrieve data created by users via social media applications and allow analysis of the same.Item Fog-Cloud Services for IoT(Proceedings of the SouthEast Conference, 2017-04) Ketel, MohammedThe Internet of things (IoT) 1 devices are increasingly becoming an integral part of our lives. It is estimated that the number of such devices will grow into billions within few years. These devices are highly distributed and have limited storage and processing capacity. To support the computational demand and the latency-sensitive applications of these distributed IoT devices, a new computing paradigm, Fog computing, has been introduced. Fog computing is considered as the promising extension of the Cloud computing paradigm that brings virtualized Cloud services to the edge of network to control the IoT devices. This paper introduces Fog commuting technologies and their applications to IoT.Item The Importance of Social Position in E-Learning(2014 SouthEast Regional Conference, 2014-03) Ketel, Mohammed; Fishpaw, ChristopherThe growth and popularity of online social networks has created new ways of collaboration and communication. College/university students worldwide are particularly enthusiastic users— the vast majority are engaging on a daily basis with online social networks via a computer or mobile device. Likewise, eLearning has been utilized by academic communities to transcend learning across space and time to offer students an alternative to physical classrooms. Today, there is interest from educational institutions and organizations in the potential of social networks and social media to complement or leverage formal educational activities and enhance learning outcomes. Although many studies boast about the benefits of eLearning, users have traditionally complained about usability. This study aims to analyze the frequency of online social networking practices across a broad spectrum of diverse users based on survey responses. The goal of this research is to investigate the frequency of usage of social networking features for consideration in the design of new eLearning solutions.
