Determination of the perceptions of the prospective teachers about Information and Communication Technology (ICT) terms has a remarkable potential to provide input for technology integration plans and ICT training. Within this context, the purpose of this study is to discover the metaphors constructed by prospective teachers for ICT terms. Data were gathered from 180 prospective teachers through a survey. 977 valid metaphors constructed by the participants were grouped into conceptual categories for the six ICT terms. The most common conceptual categories are “developing and changing” for technology, “making life easy” for computers and search engines, “limitless and endless” for the Internet, “means of communication” for social networks, and “addictive items” for video games. Future research should concentrate on investigating the match and mismatches between the intended use of the ICT tools and the perception of the prospective teachers. Keywords: metaphors, ICT, information and communication technology, technology integration, pre-service teacher, teacher education, prospective teachers.

E-Governance is a powerful tool for bringing change to the government process in the developing world. Mainly, e-governance operates at the cross roads between information and communication Technology (ICT) and Government Processes (GP). In order for successful implementation and maximize the impact, e-governance must be embedded and supported in the existing government processes by both politically and technically in the country. Bangladesh, as one of the countries of developing world, has been implementing various projects of installation and adaptation of e-governance with a view to ensuring the transparency and accountability of government processes since more than a decade ago. This article attempts to provide an overview on the existing state and impacts of e-governance in Bangladesh and revealed that Bangladesh has made remarkable progress over the years in the way of e-governance. However, more concentrations are needed in the country to expedite the successful implementation of initiatives for ensuring e-services.

Enhanced Learning

Higher education is incorporating Information and Communication Technology (ICT) at a fast rate for different purposes. Scientific papers include within the concept of Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) the myriad applications of information and communication technology, e-resources, and pedagogical approaches to the development of education. TEL’s specific application to higher education is especially relevant for countries under rapid development for providing quick and sustainable access to quality education (UN sustainable development goal 4). This paper presents the research results of an online pedagogical experience in collaborative academic research for analyzing good practice in TEL-supported higher education development. The results are obtained through a pilot implementation providing curated data on TEL competency’s development of faculty skills and analysis of developing sustainable higher education degrees through TEL cooperation, for capacity building. Given the increased volume and complexity of the knowledge to be delivered, and the exponential growth of the need for skilled workers in emerging economies, online training is the most effective way of delivering a sustainable higher education. The results of the PETRA Erasmus+ capacity-building project provides evidence of a successful implementation of a TEL-supported methodology for collaborative faculty development focused on future online degrees built collaboratively and applied locally.
