Common to other developing countries, telemedicine in Bangladesh has also not yet been widely used due to the expensive access to technology and lack of public awareness. In this paper, a simple and affordable web based tele-consultation system is introduced for remote areas where even basic healthcare is a critical issue. A web application has been developed using PHP and MYSQL for creating an asynchronous system. In this asynchronous case, the expert physicians have the flexibility to access medical data for examination at their convenience. The main goal of this paper is to build a cost effective system that can give easy health care access to rural peoples. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Bangladesh is now going through the growth stage of IT industry. There are over 400 software companies at present. Every year, over 6000 graduates come out from more than 80 universities and 700 colleges. The emerging software companies in Bangladesh, however, feel the necessity of more skilled and competent fresh graduates [19]. An obvious gap between fresh graduates' capability and industry requirement is felt by both the academy and industry. In order to find the reason behind this gap, we performed some investigation on the academic course curriculum, teaching method, concentration factors etc. In this work, we have done a step by step comparative analysis of the course curriculum of some major national and international universities. Course distribution in different topics has been observed. A comparative analysis is given here. Based on the comparative analysis and the teaching practice, suggestions have been proposed in this paper. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
