Summary: The research article examines the current tools as well as the demand for new and innovative tools, which would increase the collaboration future generations. The article goes in to details dealing with mobile usability and the advantages of staying connected. The mobile platform the article examines is called Gigabit class LTE-A. The intention is to test the platform for new opportunities within the graduate scholarly research groups. In addition, the authors believe that the platform will help in securing federal research environment funding.
Learned: This article was very technically advanced and the research went into great depth for broadband communications. The article however did not come across detailing with the use of jargon. There was some present which is to be expected however the authors made sure to translate with descriptions easing enough to understand. What I took away from this article is clearer understanding how cellular data transmits. Also the ability for smart phones to decipher the information being transmitted. These areas we take for granted but the technology to utilize these and even better them will raise the communication ability toward researching.

Summary: This study was geared toward choral singer students and it analyze their comfort with using computers to vocal-sight read. Not only were the students required to utilize this new technology they were also assessed both with a pre-test and a post-test. The study comparison based findings on the comfort level of each student and how that comfort level compared to live assessments. The under lining resource within the article is the ability to record voice on computer and allow it to be assessed. Utilizing a computer for such an art based focus is becoming more popular and substantial.
Learned: The influence of how being in front of a live assessment was less stressful than utilizing a private voice read with a computer. The digital based platform was not as accepted as a live instructor assessment. It seems the IT approach is valid and reliable. Where the problem exists is within the performance factor. This is human factor where inspiration and passion will be highlighted. In a closed off venue with no immediate feedback the artists seemed to feel uncomfortable. However, given time and practice I believe a solid comfortable level of acceptance would be achieved.
