The influence of media and method and their recent dramatic impact on learning have been discussed by many researchers in the instructional technology field and spurred the Clark-Kozma debate. This chapter explores the standpoints of preservice information and communication technology teachers attending a state university in Turkey. The findings are presented as a guide to educators and instructional designers, especially in their preservice research and practice. Participants were selected by convenience sampling, and their opinions were obtained following a debate on the topic. A questionnaire was administered for this purpose that had been prepared by the researchers. The results of the survey were augmented by detailed observations of the debate. Most of the participants agree that new media provides and facilitates the emergence of new methods or changes in existing methods, and learning and teaching benefit from approaches that combine the two.

Despite huge investment, and the best of intentions, most development projects fail. This is particularly true of Information and Communication Technology for Development (ICTD) projects. We contend that a significant contributor to this failure is the lack of breadth in project design and implementation, and in the training of project implementers. Successful ICTD interventions, in addition to being based on the best computer science research has to offer, must be guided by the relevant social, cultural, political, economic and gender factors that underlie the interaction of the technology with the community into which it is being placed. We therefore argue that efforts to distance computer science from the broader context of ICTD scholarship and practice are misguided. ICTD should be recognized as a truly interdisciplinary area of research and practice. We further argue that ICTD as a discipline has a particular need for academic practitioners. We close with a compilation of current known ICTD academic efforts worldwide.

The Village

Rural development has undergone significant changes since the digitization of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). Hybrid media technology has proven to make it easier for innovative villages to build networks and empower their communities to narrow the ICT gap, one of which is through community service. This community service is an effort of Gorontalo State University so that the Tridarma of Higher Education is implemented to contribute science and technology to the community. This Community Service was carried out in Tamboo Village, Bone Pantai District, Bone Bolango Regency. The purpose of this Community Service was to provide counseling on how to condition the beginning of a village so that it becomes a digital village. The expected output targets from this activity are: 1) The officials and community in Tamboo Village have knowledge of the importance of the village internet and how to manage infrastructure related to the village internet. 2) Village officials or village internet managers can have the ability to use internet facilities, which can then be developed to create village websites for digitization: village profile data, population data, village resource and potential data and other activities that can be digitized for work effectiveness and efficiency.

The Impact

Student performance has several elements, but most significant is the role the information and communication technology plays. The performance of students in modern education is quite different from the traditional method used over the past decades. ICT is a revolution and has indeed bridged the divided world of information into single entity; it has further enhanced the resourcefulness of students in various academic institutions around the globe. This study is a fact finding into the role of ICT as it relates to students performance in modern education and the traditional method of research in time past. University of Benin (Uniben) Post Graduate Students were used to solicit information required for the research decision. From the findings, it was observed that there is a significant difference between the users and non users of ICT facilities on academic activities. Tables 1, 2, 3 and 4 as tabulated below shows the positive impact of ICT on student performance. The testing, t-test was 1.96 at 0.05 significance level, while the t-value was 4.677 and this to a large degree shows clear distinction to viability of the impact of ICT on the positive performance on students.

With the development of information and communication technology, countries around the world have strengthened their computer science curriculums. Korea also revised the informatics curriculum(The name of a subject related to computer science in Korea is informatics.) in 2015 with a focus on computer science. The purpose of this study was to automatically extract and analyze whether textbooks reflected the learning elements of the informatics curriculum in South Korea. Considering the forms of terms of the learning elements mainly comprised of compound words and the characteristics of Korean language, which makes natural language processing difficult due to various transformations, this study pre-processed textbook texts and the learning elements and derived their reflection status and frequencies. The terms used in the textbooks were automatically extracted by using the indexes in the textbooks and the part-of-speech compositions of the indexes. Moreover, this study analyzed the relevance between the terms by deriving confidence of other terms for each learning element used in the textbooks. As a result of the analysis, this study revealed that the textbooks did not reflect some learning elements in the forms presented in the curriculum, suggesting that the textbooks need to explain the concepts of the learning elements by using the forms presented in the curriculum at least once. This study is meaningful in that terms were automatically extracted and analyzed in Korean textbooks based on the words suggested by the curriculum. Also, the method can be applied equally to textbooks of other subjects.

Computer Based

The advancement in Information and Communication Technology has brought about a great revolution in the way most of our activities are being done in this era. Standard examinations and tests are now being conducted globally using the information technology tools. These examinations/tests are being referred to by several names, some of which are the Computer Based Tests (CBT), Computer Based Assessment (CBA), e-examinations, e-assessment and so on. The assessments carried out with these technologies have had its own several challenges in form of examination malpractices most especially impersonation. This paper presents a Computer Based Assessment system which uses biometric facial data capturing of students/candidates for assessment as a measure of preventing impersonation. The system was implemented on Visual Basic.Net platform, tested with a set of students in HND II Computer Science department of the Federal Polytechnic, Bida and the system was able to record zero percent impersonation among the selected students.
