“…Individual users adhere to this new way of using software, mainly due to its convenience, that allows them to access and process information at any time and from any location. These findings are coherent with existing cloud computing research that recognizes information retrieval and processing any time and anywhere as a salient driving force of this new technology (Hirsch and Ng, 2011;Wang and Ng, 2012).…”

Software-as-a-Service, a new model of accessing software, presents individual users with tremendous opportunities to work and live conveniently and efficiently. Existing research has put much focus on understanding SaaS potential and risks for organizations and not much effort has been invested in understanding individual users, despite their market significance. This study aims at closing this gap by analyzing the cognitive mechanism through which individual users trade off privacy against the benefits that SaaS offers and identify salient benefits that trigger such trade-off. Based on the Theory of Reasoned Action, the Privacy-Trust-Intention model and cost-benefit theories, we developed a research framework that capture the trade-off between benefits and privacy and further analyzed data collected from an online survey of SaaS users in Korea with 290 respondents. Our findings indicate that individual users' intention to use SaaS is negatively affected by privacy concerns and positively affected by overall perceived benefits in a relationship that is mediated by trust towards SaaS providers. Surprisingly, no direct, significant effect of privacy concerns on intention to use SaaS was found, whereas overall perceived benefits were found to have a direct effect on users' intention to adopt SaaS. We found convenience to be the most salient benefit that users expect from adopting SaaS. Our study contributes to existing research by developing and empirically verifying a benefits-versus-privacy framework in a rather neglected segment of SaaS consumers in previous research. The findings also guide SaaS providers in mitigating privacy concerns; while efforts to minimize privacy will enhance users' trust, it is of paramount importance to maximize salient benefits such as convenience that outweigh privacy concerns during users' decision making to adopt SaaS.

“…Teaching and Learning applications. The technologies embedded into a smart campus/university can also help students to learn through their mobile phones [118] or have an ubiquitous user-centered personalized learning and training experience with advanced analytics [119,120]. These technologies also allow teachers to make use of specific learning services (e.g., online programming contests [121]), sophisticated online teaching platforms [122], and to implement novel teaching paradigms like Flipped Classroom [123] or amplification [124].…”

Smart campuses and smart universities make use of IT infrastructure that is similar to the one required by smart cities, which take advantage of Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud computing solutions to monitor and actuate on the multiple systems of a university. As a consequence, smart campuses and universities need to provide connectivity to IoT nodes and gateways, and deploy architectures that allow for offering not only a good communications range through the latest wireless and wired technologies, but also reduced energy consumption to maximize IoT node battery life. In addition, such architectures have to consider the use of technologies like blockchain, which are able to deliver accountability, transparency, cyber-security and redundancy to the processes and data managed by a university. This article reviews the state of the start on the application of the latest key technologies for the development of smart campuses and universities. After defining the essential characteristics of a smart campus/university, the latest communications architectures and technologies are detailed and the most relevant smart campus deployments are analyzed. Moreover, the use of blockchain in higher education applications is studied. Therefore, this article provides useful guidelines to the university planners, IoT vendors and developers that will be responsible for creating the next generation of smart campuses and universities.

Process of delivering multimedia learning objects such as text, video, images, audio, and animation requires real-time streaming of multimedia content from the M-learning systems to the mobile users. With enhancing the integration methods of the mobile devices into the learning systems, we have possibility to allow easy storing, recording and delivering of multimedia contents to the students in real-time. In this paper, we will present an intelligent mobile learning (M-learning) system for delivery of multimedia content depending of the context-aware conditions. This paper considers the significance of high QoS requirements for applications that are essential to achieve higher continuity of real-time multimedia contents. In this research, we have considered the best queuing packet delivery algorithm to provide appropriate multimedia contents to improve required bandwidth for user's communications.
