This concept has also been applied to the Internet. You can utilize this environment to deliver audio and video information to students located at distant sites through inexpensive webcams. Connect the webcam to your computer.Go online to the appropriate site.You can now see the instructor on your monitor as he or she views you.
Communications Management

Communication technology must be identified, so stakeholders will know where project information is stored and available. PMI (2017) defines electronic project information as being contained within the project management information system (PMIS). PMIS is defined as “an information system consisting of the tools and techniques used to gather, integrate, and disseminate the outputs of project management processes” (PMI 2017, 716). This is comprised of electronic project management tools, electronic communications management, and social media management. Examples of electronic project management tools are project management software, web interfaces, portals, and collaborative work management tools, such as Dropbox or Google Documents. Different levels of access to the project information can be given to project stakeholders based on each of their needs. Examples of electronic communications management range from email to web conferencing systems. Web conferencing systems provide the team with the ability to communicate real-time using webcams to see each other or to present information by sharing documents and presentations. During meetings, chat sessions can occur between all attendees as a group or can privately occur between two or more of the meeting attendees within the web conferencing system. Examples of social media management can be private group pages set up in Facebook just for the team, Instagram accounts just for reminders of meetings or special events, such as a demonstration provided by the team, and websites and blogs that share project news. Technology is ever-changing, and the ability to share information is growing. Many social media accounts can be linked together so that one meeting reminder posted in one social media platform will result in all of the project social media accounts posting the same information so that every team member will see the reminder, regardless of which social media accounts they hold.

Note that meeting coordinators may use the Internet to allow participants from anywhere in the world to meet in a “virtual” room. If each person has a computer, the meeting leader can coordinate the presentation on participant screens. Videophones and webcams also allow face-to-face meetings among geographically distant participants.

In the experiment, an AVEN 26700–300 model 200 X USB microscope was used, its operation is very similar to a webcam, with great advantage. The microscope was attached to a holder, which centered the microscope with the cuvette. The entire disk was maintained by a layer of granite, which in turn was maintained by a layer of foam. To centralize the cuvette in the same position for all tests, a raised seal was used on lugs that held the same position when a cuvette was changed. A calibration test was done to evaluate the procedure, with an insignificant variation of ± 2 pixels. The relative distance was 11.3 pixels (1 mm) when the height was the culture medium and the 640 × 480 resolution was considered.

The experiment was carried out in sound attenuated cabins at the University of Trier. Each cabin was equipped with a single workstation including a computer with a keyboard, a monitor and a webcam. Additionally, we provided a pen and a sheet of number series questions to be solved between trials. The experiment was designed and conducted with E-Prime 2.0. Instructions, word lists and tests were presented via this experimental software. Across two trials participants had to study and recall eight lists of eight common nouns (four to seven letters long).

A USB webcam (Dynex, Richfield, MN, USA) was mounted over the task environment, which acquired the image data of the entire area of the environment. This image data was processed to obtain the position data of the targets and the card located in the task environment.
