A Framework for Collaborative and Convenient Learning on Cloud Computing Platforms

Abstract: The depth of learning resides in collaborative work with more engagement and fun. Technology can enhance collaboration with a higher level of convenience and cloud computing can facilitate this in a cost effective and scalable manner. However, to deploy a successful online learning environment, elementary components of learning pedagogy must be embedded in the technology framework. A cloud computing technology based learning platform built on the proven learning pedagogies will be most successful attempt to facilitate collaborative and convenient learning. Such platform will support the learners to connect and coordinate the online resources in a more efficient, effective and practical way. This paper proposes a new theoretical framework for collaborative and convenient learning on cloud computing technology by reviewing various learning theories and integrating them with the technology framework. Architectural details of the framework have been presented with suitable examples for a better understanding. The work has a lot of significance for deploying cloud computing based collaborative learning solutions in the educational institutions.

Management of Potential Organ Donor: Indian Society of Critical Care Medicine: Position Statement.

Abstract: PurPose and scoPe of the stateMent The position statement for management of organ donors is prepared by the Indian Society of Critical Care Medicine (ISCCM) with an objective of providing the standard perspective for the management of potential organ/tissue donors after brain death in adults only, regardless of the availability of technology. This document should be used as guidance only and does not a substitute for proper clinical decision‐making in particular circumstances of any case. The endorsement of ISCCM does not imply that the statements given in the document are applicable in all or in a particular case; however, they may provide guidance for the users thus utilizing maximum organs from brain‐dead patients. Thus, care of potential brain‐dead organ donor is “caring for multiple recipients” [Table 1].
