With only few decades of development, that trend has been highlighted as a remarkable economic focus for the development. Despite, this research area is barely identified in the general society as a source of opportunities for the personal development. The academic development for the most universities reacts slowly to these changes. Their educative programs are normally static with only some late adaptations to the newest technology or knowledge advancement, incorporating them in a limited strength. This research area, normally thought by the common people as proper for physicists, it is really open for lots of disciplines in nowadays. Any area with complex problems unable to be attained by classical computing could technically to be involved in this research trend. Thus, alternative new professional areas are emerging without be sufficiently visible for the universities in order to move the most traditional areas of education. Thus, in the next years, some emergent areas could be eclipsed in terms of human resources. In this arena, blended learning could contribute to provide novel educative contents as an alternative or complementary education to the main professional area selected. While, the blended learning approach is being developed to reach the most sectors of population with professional and university education. Strategies of blended learning are considered remarkable either for formal education as well specialized education to disseminate new trends not included in the traditional syllabus but important for the professional development of students. Because that is the case for Quantum information and Quantum computation areas having an explosive development just in the last decade, this work describes the outcomes around a blended learning initiative in the form of an educative suite for those areas with a multidisciplinary approach containing courses oriented to arrive into the formal research. Still, they are departing from the scientific divulgation until research collaboration going on through the formal learning. Suite was conceptualized with a multilevel approach to attract and to involve students from high school until graduate level.","PeriodicalId":245560,"journal":{"name":"IADIS INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL ON WWW/INTERNET","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116173332","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main research objective is to investigate the corporate attitudes towards Data Philanthropy in the South African banking, retail and telecommunications industries. In particular, the study examines of the willingness, preparedness and concerns of corporations in respect of using their data and supporting data analytical technologies for social good, their chosen level of engagement in corporate social responsibility. Also investigated was and their willingness to change their current engagement to one that requires more efforts and tools to implement. The study includes a review which exposes gaps in literature that the research analysis and discussion will aim to uncover. The study used an inductive approach using thematic analysis. Four main organising themes are used to analyse the data which was collected through interviews namely Corporate Social Responsibility, Willingness, Preparedness and Concerns. A remarkable diversity in detailed sub-themes was uncovered for each of the main themes.","PeriodicalId":245560,"journal":{"name":"IADIS INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL ON WWW/INTERNET","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121526341","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Simultaneously, the possibility of sharing sensitive personal information has become a part of everyday life. Thus, the possibility of privacy violations and leaking of personal data has arisen. This paper analyzes the extent to which Internet users trust that the privacy of their private messages is protected and upheld in web-based messaging services such as Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp. The paper examines how users’ trust in other people (social trust) and trust in institutional actors (such as the parliamentary system and police) predict a high probability to trust that their private and confidential messages are not disclosed. The analysis is conducted based on data (n=1648) that was gathered through a nationwide survey in Finland. Results show that both high social trust and institutional trust are associated with high trust in the confidentiality and privacy of messages that are sent through messaging services on the web. Demographic factors did not have a remarkable effect on how trusting users are. Finally, a decomposition analysis shows that social trust is the strongest predictor even when institutional trust and demographic factors are controlled for.","PeriodicalId":245560,"journal":{"name":"IADIS INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL ON WWW/INTERNET","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114245999","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
