Item Professional leadership investigation in big data and computer-mediated communication in relation to the 11th Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Global Blueprint global blueprint(Step Academic, 2024-02-08) Aroba, Oluwasegun Julius; Dr. Bringula, RexMethodology–The method adopted here is a research design and with the use of a quantitative researchdesign approachto carry out the analysis, thestudy investigated the connection between leadership influence, communication satisfaction, and job satisfaction in the context of CMC. Convenience sampling was used to gather the data, and structured questionnaires were used to protect the privacy and identity of the participants. The association between employee engagement and CMC was examined using multiple regression analysis. Findings–The questionnaireused in this study also evaluated participants' perceptions of workplace leadership, their satisfaction with communication, and their job satisfaction with the 11thSustainable Development Goals. The results showed a gender distribution with a slight female preponderance among the 103 participants (48 men and 55 women). Furthermore, they indicated that computer-mediated communication (CMC) channels account for 65.4% of organizational communication. These results demonstrate the widespread adoption and utilization of information and communication technologies (ICTs) within the surveyed organizations. Practical Implication–The substantial presence of internet-based communication channels, representing 65.4% of organizationalcommunication, emphasizes these channels' crucial role in facilitating effective communication within these organizations. Overall, the study analyses the effects of big data and CMC on professionalism and provides insights into gender distribution among participants. Research Limitations–Encouraging inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable cities and human settlements is the focus of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 11. Although it focuses on housing and urban challenges, its theoretical implications can be applied to several different sectors, such as professional leadership in big data. Theoretically, SDG 11 may have the following effects on Big Data-related professional leadership investigations.Item The implementation of augmented reality on the Internet of Things for virtual learning in higher education(Step Academic, 2024-01-28) Aroba, Oluwasegun Julius; Prof. Bringula, Rex P.Purpose–This article investigates the potential of augmented reality (AR) for virtual learning in higher education. This review discusses the advantages as well as disadvantages of virtual learning, as well as the advantages and functions of augmented reality in digital literacy on innovative education. With the launch of electronic literacy about two years ago during the COVID-19 epidemic, considerable changes in literacy and tuition methods in higher education have previously occurred. It has become clear that virtual literacy issues thereafter worse than actual literacy issues. To meet the needs of today's scholars and establish novel tutoring approaches, educational institutions must implement new literacy technology, such as augmented reality. By implementing nascent literacy technology, this investigation hopes to lead to a better comprehension of stoked reality in virtual literacy for advanced education researchers. Method–The goal of this essay is to investigatethe use of augmented reality in higher education for virtual learning. The moderate category of this technology will also be investigated. Head-mounted displays are occasionally used in conjunction with real-world environments or props, such as when simulating takeoff on a motion platform; however, augmented reality makes reading and teaching methods far more accessible.Results–Similarly, a use case was created to demonstrate the student journey using stoked reality software on the mobile device to fantasize, comprehend, and make learning more accessible for students to engage with their environment. Conclusion–Augmented reality has the potential to identify educational surroundings as far more accurate, acceptable, more unifying than digital illiteracy. Increased reality technology affects literacy and the higher education system. It possesses the possibility of increasing the approachability and accessibility of literacy sources in team and personal study. Recommendations–To successfully integrate augmented reality into the Internet of Things for virtual learning in higher education, organizations need to put a high priority on staff development, make significant infrastructure investments, and foster cross-disciplinary collaboration. Practical Implications–Higher education institutions should prioritize data security and ethical issues while simultaneously investing in faculty development and AR-IoT infrastructure.
