Today education has increasing impacted on dynamic factors from fast changes of information and communication technology (ICT). Such as functions of Microsoft’s Offices and social media of Facebook, Line, Instagram (IG) are all appearances in our living environment. Although those ICTs’ tools have more and more convened in our life, however, they also have made students becoming laze and lack of cooperative learning attitude with others, this causes student’s ICT tools look fruitful but their competence is lower than before. Therefore, how to enhance student’s ICT competence has become an important issue in teaching methodology and strategy. In this paper aims to develop an effective teaching strategy on fitting this challenge. Through a way on using project-based learning in understanding the tourism knowledge, we find that student’s ICT competence needs more advanced improvement on how to integrate tools of ICT, as well as how to work together with others when go through a team work project. This paper has a critical contribution on using ICT to construct an unknown industrial knowledge. And this knowledge is abstraction and difficult to understand in a traditional class teaching, but through project-based learning with ICT thus approached.

Project Based Learning (PBL) is a very popular teaching strategy nowadays because it offers a great number of advantages and/or opportunities from a teaching point of view, such as achieving a deeper learning, developing teamwork and leadership skills, or getting the student to take control of what and how to learn. For all these reasons, the authors believe that, in the context of the Master's studies, as the last studies before insertion into working life, the PBL can be a very appropriate teaching methodology, since well thought out it will prepare students for the real situations that they will later experience in their professional lives. The objective of this workis to present the experience of the application of PBL in the development of a common project for four subjects of the University Master in Engineering, Processing and Characterization of Materials, taught at the Polytechnic School of Alcoy, belonging to the Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV).

This study investigated the usage and types of information and communications technologies (ICTs) accessible to community members in four selected Thusong Service Centres (TSCs or telecentres) in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN). The telecentres that participated in the study were: Nhlazuka, Mbazwane, Dududu and Malangeni. The study was informed by Rogers’ (1995) Diffusion of Innovations (DoI) theory. Through a survey, four TSCs were purposively selected. A questionnaire was used to collect data from community members in the four telecentres involved. The data collected was tabulated under the various headings and presented using tables, frequencies, percentiles and generalisations with the help of the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). The results indicated that a variety of ICT tools have been adopted in the TSCs to provide the local community with the much-needed access to information and improved communication. The government should ensure that adequate varieties and levels of ICT competence are offered to all the citizens. In conclusion, there is a need for sufficient and coherent government policies regulating the training of the local community to use these ICTs effectively.

The authors set out the basics of urban planning policy and represent the capabilities of modern information and communication tools for an integrated way of fixing the material and intangible world for urban planning purposes in the living environment (material and spatial environment). Namely, the possibilities of communication in the field of urban planning development carried out in the context of many circumstances cover federal, regional, municipal and corporate levels of management, while taking into account political, economic, social and technological relevant factors, as well as historical and national special aspects and urban planning typology of territories. The authors describe the operation of the developed computer program Decision Support Solutions (DSS) for evaluating decision options by interested participants in urban planning activities for various urban planning types of territories. The relevance of the article is driven by the need for practical use and legalization of the presented communicative interaction. This will facilitate the identification and solution of conflicts at the pre-project stage of urban planning, as should help to consider the requirements of consumers and their support for ongoing decisions and actions of public authorities at all levels.

AbstractEmbracing tertiary education system represents the beginning of a transition and adjustment period for several students. Most of these have just finished high school where the environment is strictly defined, controlled, stable and attendance is mandatory. Higher Education changes the role of students’ responsibility and this can cause stress and difficulty in the transition to self-directed learning and autonomy promotion. The purpose of this paper is to present an Erasmus+ project that brought together six Higher Education Institutions from different European countries and to describe its current stage. This project aims to develop a shared understanding of engineering mathematics at an early stage of tertiary education and to raise awareness of cultural, professional and educational issues. The initial focus of the work is on the partners’ mutual interest in active learning, particularly the application of Information and Communication Technology in the field of engineering education. When finalised, the project hopes to provide students with a new authentic engineering mathematics subject which meets their needs. This is also the core reason why the on-line course will be composed using innovative pedagogics and ICT tools, as appropriate pedagogics supports students’ procedural, conceptual and application understanding in mathematics and enhances digital competencies, literacy and skills.
