In the fast-changing realities of the modern world arises a new concept of education that defines new educational goals and policies. Conceptually new is the understanding of education as a factor of social and cultural cohesion and as an economic potential.The quality of education is measurable in every aspect and at each of the levels at which it can be operationalized. It is a measurable figure at school, regional, national and international level; there is a social, pedagogical and economic aspect; attribute is to each of the key features of the educational system - resources, functioning, results.The new concept of education requires positive changes in the following areas:- education management - decentralization and guaranteed participation of civil society in the development, implementation and monitoring of education development strategies; planning of enough resources for education;- educational environment - building a tolerant, healthy and secure educational environment that promotes individual development; clearly defined mandatory knowledge and skills; practical direction of educational content; attractive forms of education representing understandable educational content; measurable educational outcomes; widespread penetration of new information and communication technologies;- teaching profession - targeted policies on teacher qualifications and distribution of effective pedagogical practices;- monitoring - creating systems for effective measurement of educational achievements and systems for monitoring the activity of the teacher and the school.The European Quality Report on School Education identifies 16 indicators, divided into four areas, as follows:- achievements - mathematics, reading, science, information and communication technologies, foreign languages, learning skills, civic education;- student progress - dropping out, completing secondary education, entering higher education institutions;- monitoring of school education - evaluation and management of school education;- resources and structures - education and training of teachers covered in pre-school education, number of students per computer, educational costs per student.

Virtual Meetings

This chapter examines the use of computer chat technologies for virtual team meetings. The use of geographically dispersed (i.e., virtual) teams is a growing phenomenon in modern organizations. Although a variety of information and communication technologies (ICTs) have been used to conduct virtual team meetings, one technology, synchronous computer chat, has not been exploited to its fullest potential. This chapter discusses some of research findings related to effective virtual teams and examines some structural features of chat as they relate to virtual meetings. Based on these characteristics, I offer tips for using chat as an effective tool for distant collaboration.

This paper describes about how to apply information and communication technologies (ICTs) to solve agricultural problems. It presents research findings on Agriculture ICT (AgICT) impact on the agricultural performance. It talks about how ICT enhances extension services by applying tools such as mobile phone, SMS, call centres, etc. This papers presents some research findings on the ICT productivity stating that farmers using AgICT in farming activities have increased 5.91 % of their farm productivity compared to the immediate past year while farmers having no exposure to AgICT increased only 3.90% of farm productivity. This can apparently be assumed that the AgICT alone can contribute 2.01% increase in farm productivity.

AbstractThe article outlines the basic contours of the current debate on literacy. Since the start of the millennium, the determining and dynamising factor in this debate has been information and communication technologies. The aim is to observe whether, and how, reading literacy, an important target category in education, is changing in this new reality. In the first part, the paper shows how the above questions are perceived and discussed in the field of relevant scientific disciplines from different points of view. In the second part, the research findings showing the risks and negative impacts of technologies are interpreted through the lenses of contemporary research on “new” literacy. Empirical research on specific aspects of online reading strategies and traditional print media reading are analysed and discussed in light of their contribution to reading literacy theory and education.

Key Issues

This study aimed to establish the extent to which Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have been integrated into the teaching and learning of Geography in Seychelles Secondary Schools. The focus was on key issues such as policy provisions for the integration of ICTs into the Seychelles curriculum; teachers’ and students’ perceptions about the use of ICTs in teaching and learning of Geography; the types of ICTs used; and challenges faced in the integration of ICTs. Possible solutions are also explored. The researchers opted for a qualitative methodological approach to generate rich and in-depth data. The aim was to learn and understand from the case rather than to prove and establish cause and effect. Thus, various methodologies such as document analysis, focus group discussions and interviews were employed. Geography teachers and students were the main participants in the study, although other participants such as Ministry of Education officials were also interviewed. It is anticipated that the research findings and recommendations will benefit policymakers and practitioners in the Seychelles education system.

The Impact

As the world population rapidly ages, improving the quality of life (QOL) of the elderly and enabling them to age actively is increasingly becoming a global policy concern. In this context, emphasis is also given to information and communication technologies (ICTs) that may play a significant part in enhancing the QOL of the elderly. This review study explores the impact of Internet use on QOL of the elderly by examining available researches in this field. By searching on ADM Digital Library, WEB Science, ERIC, PsycINFO and PubMed databases, this study reviewed 25 studies published after 1990 that investigate the relationship between Internet use and QOL of elderly. The synthesis of the research findings indicates that the functional use of computer and Internet improves QOL for older people. The findings also provide a comprehensive perspective on the current state of knowledge and raises questions for further research.Keywords: elderly, Internet use, quality of life
