To an extent, vision is a function that can be learned. Broadly speaking, this learning -named visual perceptive development, takes place spontaneously. Nevertheless, it is not the case of a significant number of children who, due to their visual or perceptual impairment, have difficulties either receiving or processing visual stimuli from their environment. In this case, Visual Stimulation programs should be applied to these people so that their visual functions can be developed.The advances developed in last two decades on information and communication technologies, ICT, are not reflected in the existing software tools for the field. As a contribution to solve this problem, we have designed and developed an Interactive Educational System supported on a web platform with the main aim to provide professionals the required mechanisms to perform the basic Visual Stimulation tasks. At the same time, it takes advantage of the several opportunities offered by the Internet. In this paper, we analyze the limitations of previous existing tools and present EVIN (Visual Stimulation on the Internet). The main objective of the EVIN project is the development of a web platform which exploits the potential of ICT along with the experience gained by low vision professionals.

The past decade has seen significant improvements in the design and development of information and communication technologies (ICT). The Internet, for instance, has become more efficient, more affordable and more accessible. While the availability of these technologies in classrooms has created new opportunities, it has at the same time presented new challenges for teachers. Teachers have to find innovative methods of implementing these technologies in lessons that are not only effective and efficient but also fair to both sexes.

Public administrations, during the last few years, activated modernizations in public service delivery. In particular, this arrangement relates to the service digitalization and automation, thanks to the massive inclusion of Information and communication technologies in public offices. This paved the way for internal and external organizational and technological changes, in that a new approach is required to leverage the new technologies. Moreover, the Internet technologies began to play an important role in public services delivery, and many transactions are Web-based nowadays.

In this chapter, the research theme is focused on the relationship between small farmers and information and communication technologies (ICT). Although there are other previous works that have already analyzed this same relationship, the authors believe that access to information remains a major challenge for farmers. With the application of workshops on agricultural practices of maize, in communities of Oaxaca and Veracruz, they learned about the practices of farmers around the production cycle and applied a survey to find out their opinion regarding the use of ICT. In addition, they used a specialized database to complement the workshops objectives. Next, in collaboration between researchers in the areas of biology and computing, they developed a web platform for access and use of information related to the variables of interest to farmers. Among the main results, they highlight that the community prefers to use cell phones to access such information and that the older generations are looking to transmit experiences and knowledge to the young with the aim of conserving ancestral knowledge.

Cloud Technologies

The report presents the author’s experience in integrating modern ICT technologies in the process of teaching and learning in school. The emphasis is on the use of mobile devices and the integration of cloud technologies in schools. As an ICT teacher, the author provides some practical guidelines on how to apply innovation. The generation of 7 screens does not know a world without digital technologies and mobile communications. The discrepancy between the expectations of the digital generation and the reality in our schools is in terms of the information and communication technologies (ICT) used in them and the didactic models. Adolescents, when they find themselves in an environment that does not meet their expectations, are demotivated and redirect their attention to other objects and goals and stop being active in class. The use of the so-called. „Cloud“ technologies will significantly increase the interest and retention of students. The modern approach to building information systems is focused on developing solutions in which the collection, input and output of information is carried out through WEB-based applications or platforms.

Historical Periods

Beside the fact that the Internet was not primarily educational network (it didn’t emerge from the intention to be systematically used in the field of education), shortly after it emerged, possibilities of its application in education were recognised. This paper is dedicated to analysis of the most important chronological moments (technological and social in the first place) that were crucial in sense of comprehensive application of the Internet in service of education in general, but also in service of adult education. Having all mentioned in focus, in more details, we analysed emergence and development of the Internet observed as educational computer network in frame of general development of information and communication technologies. While realising mentioned analysis, our focus was on four historical periods of educational computer technologies. We also intended to emphasize the activities of international institutions that followed, encouraged and supported the development of the Internet use and the use of other information and communication technologies in the field of education. According to that, we distinguished the main moments referring activities of these organisations which describe in the best manner their contributions to growing application of the Internet in education in general, but also in adult education.

The ageing society and the necessity to meet the needs (including transport ones) of elderly people are a challenge for an increasing number of countries, including the EU Member States and Poland. Different types of modern ICT solutions are being proposed as a way of improving the meeting of the needs of elderly people in order to prevent their social exclusion. The growing popularity of solutions and services that use information and communication technologies (mainly the Internet and mobile applications) can also be observed in transport services and is perceived as a means to better meet transport needs. The aim of the article is to examine the extent to which seniors use ICT solutions to meet their transport needs when, for example, obtaining access to a car or car ride. A literature review, statistical data analysis and results of primary survey studies carried out on a sample of U3A students were used. The results of the analysis do not allow generalization on the entire population of elderly people but point to some interesting conclusions. For instance, at least one of the considered solutions (e.g. sharing travel by car as a driver or passenger) was used by almost two-thirds of those that responded using the Internet. Also, the solutions given were rated rather positively by the respondents in terms of their usefulness and ease of use. Those findings, apart from indicating further directions of research, allow for a cautious statement that these types of solutions can actually serve to better meet the transport needs of seniors.
