<p><em>Teamwork skills are key feature for Information Technology (IT) specialists. The university IT curriculum contains both IT specific courses, and comprehensive courses. Due to limited amount of the learning courses and efficient achievement of learning goals, it is necessary to look for opportunities to integrate activities developing social and communication skills courses into IT specific courses. Managing the teamwork that is close to practice, it is necessary to solve the problems of teaching and learning organisation, and assessment of individual learning outcomes and competences. In Liepāja University, the student teamwork has been managed for several years as integral part of Software Engineering courses and study projects. The course management system Moodle has been used in learning process providing possibilities to evaluate both assignments submitted by students and their learning behaviour.  The current paper describes and analyses the experience of academic staff of Liepāja University.</em></p>

Contextualized Learning

Teaching strategy presented aims to provide the contextualized learning computational intelligence in correspondence with the needs of the information technology students. This proposal is the output of a theoretical model that structure the process of teaching and learning of computational intelligence, from the dialectical relations between its components and it is manifested as a set of actions structured in three stages, defining their respective goals to transform the work, being done in the traditional way, towards new demands of renewal in the continuous improvement that is required, in correspondence with the needs that the learning of mathematical content has for the College student, social significance, and practical value. Assumes the contextualization as a contextual approach to the teaching of computational intelligence. The application of the teaching strategy in teaching practice confirmed its relevance, feasibility, and effectiveness through the use of empirical methods: evaluation by expert criteria, consultation with users and the pedagogical experiment in its pre-experiment variant, demonstrating favor the contextualized learning of the subject computational intelligence in the information technology students.

The ethical crisis in business and information technology is very real. Countering this crisis by creating organizational cultures grounded in moral character is the challenge people face as leaders if they are to regain the respect and confidence of the public. As educators of future business and information technology leaders, how can educators prepare their students to understand, appreciate, and contribute to the establishment of cultures of character in the organizations which employ them—and which they may ultimately lead? In this article the authors distinguish among four corporate cultures with respect to ethics —cultures of defiance, compliance, neglect, and character—and present a blueprint for constructing an organizational culture grounded in moral character. With respect to showing students how to contribute to such a culture, the authors then (a) describe how to establish an effective learning context for teaching about ethics, (b) proffer a number of practical suggestions for student assignments and experiences that can empower students to understand, appreciate, and contribute to organizational cultures of character, and (c) explain how to enhance experiential learning by conducting an effective debriefing session. The authors conclude the article by providing three examples from their own experience illustrating how these ideas can be incorporated into programs designed to show business and information technology students how to contribute to organizational cultures grounded in moral character.

Lack of new business and jobs has led unemployed issues. This problem can be settled by increasing the number of new technopreneurs, entrepreneurs creating new business and jobs through technological innovations. The study is to find out technopreneurship talent of the students of faculty of engineering, agriculture engineering and information technology of Universitas Andalas. Then, they are compared by four criteria or dimensions: [1] Entrepreneurial Characteristics, [2] Absorptive Capacity, [3] Knowledge and Learning Skills, [4] Business and Communication Skills. A set of indicators is developed for each criterion and assessed qualitatively using questioners as tool. The assessments are carried out in three stages: indicators, criteria, and technopreneur talent assessment. Attitudes measurement technique is used for indicators assessment while Weighted Sum Model [WSM] is used for criteria and technopreneur talent assessment. The overall technopreneur talent assessments show that engineering students are relatively better with information technology students and agriculture engineering students are adept in some aspects of technopreneurship.
