Education Courses

Distance education, mediated by Information and Communication Technologies, is increasingly present in the Brazilian educational scenario due to legislation incentives. In this modality, assessment to ensure effective learning, considering the particularities of distance education, represents a challenge to education managers. This research investigates the competences developed in two entirely distance-lectured courses in the Information Management degree of the Federal University of Paraná. For this purpose, the bibliographic and documental methodology was used to construct two assessment rubrics in the CoRubric platform, a data collection instrument for the research. Data are analyzed using statistical techniques. The results show the competences developed by students and those that need improvement, as well as the correlation between the characteristics of the courses and the learning and how much they affect the result. It concludes that the assessment rubrics constructed from CoRubric are capable of generating information for decision making in education.

This article is an integrative review regarding the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) for teaching Dentistry. Thus, the article aimed to analyze papers that show the use of these technologies as resources and tools for learning. The stages in the elaboration of this integrative review were: establishing the guiding question and aims of the study, establishing the inclusion and exclusion criteria for articles, defining the research instrument and information to be extracted from the articles selected, results analysis, and discussion. For this, bibliographical data was collected from the SciELO, ColecionaSUS, and Periódicos CAPES databases in the search for articles published in the last five years, written in Portuguese, and containing the following keywords in Health Sciences: “education in dentistry”, “dentistry”, “dentistry informatics”, “distance learning”, and “education”, and which were related in context to the topic of study. Eleven articles were selected as the results, which were analyzed using the data collection instrument. It was concluded that the current technologies used as teaching resources and tools contribute as allies for improving ways of teaching and learning, particularly in the area of dentistry, in a way that makes courses more interactive and dynamic, and adding personal and technical skills to the profiles of the professionals trained.

E Learning

The growth of e-learning, particularly distance learning via e-learning, is widely recognised as a significant factor influencing higher education in the 21st century. The rapid and ongoing uptake of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) for teaching and learning, along with the recognition that increased student engagement can lead to more effective learning, is changing the way in which teaching and learning occurs in universities. This chapter suggests that the distance learner is frequently overlooked in the current climate when it comes to consideration of student needs and that current applications of ICT for distance learning raises questions about the quality of their learning experience. The chapter discusses the role of the student voice in understanding and addressing students’ needs in relation to the quality of their learning experience and suggests that greater attention needs to be paid to the distinct voice of the distance education student. The chapter provides some methodologies for collecting the student’s voice and gives consideration to how addressing the distance learners’ voice to enhance their learning experience might be most effectively accomplished.

The Impact

Administration of justice is adding information and communication technologies in its internal operations and its relations both with judicial operators and citizens in Spain. The chapter describes the Spanish institutional framework characterized by the plurality of actors with competences in the administration of justice and the lack of mechanisms of coordination among them. Then, it sets out the different applications of ICTs within administration of justice, classified into four categories: treatment of information, management of judicial files, relations between judicial operators, and decision making. The analysis of such applications focuses on Spanish administration of justice. The chapter finally shows the impact of Spanish institutional framework of justice in the development of e-justice.

The Way

The term digital governance refers to governance processes in which information and communication technologies (ICT) play a significant role. Digital governance uses ICT to induce changes in the delivery and standards of governance services and, more importantly, in the way citizens interact and participate in the governance sphere. The role played by ICT could be wide ranging: in delivery and standards of governance services, to how people access such services, and the participation of people in the governance sphere (Digital governance.org Initiative, n.d.). Digital governance is not just another facet of governance or one more interface between citizens and government. Digital governance is a whole new opportunity, creating immense possibilities between citizens and government by redefining vision and the scope of the entire gamut of relationships (Bedi, Singh, & Srivastava, 2001). Two fundamental anchors of digital governance are local knowledge communities and citizen-centric governance.

Technology in health care: are we delivering on the promise? Australian Health Review invites contributions for an upcoming issue on information management and information and communication technology in health care. Submission deadline: 15 May 2007 Despite a reputation for less spending on information and communication technologies (ICT), the health care sector has an imperative to ensure the ?right? information has been made available and accessible to the ?right? person at the ?right? time. While there is increasing evidence that the strategic application of ICT in innovative ways can improve the effectiveness of health care delivery, we don?t often discuss the substantial changes to the way health care organisations operate that are required for best practice information management. In an upcoming issue, Australian Health Review is looking to publish feature articles, research papers, case studies and commentaries related to information management and information and communication technologies in health care. We are particularly interested in papers that report on the successes, or failures, of initiatives in Australia and New Zealand that have brought together the research, the technology and the clinical, managerial and organisational expertise. Submissions related to international initiatives with lessons for Australia and New Zealand will also be welcomed. Submissions can be short commentaries of 1000 to 2000 words, or more comprehensive reviews of 2000 to 4000 words. Please consult the AHR Guidelines for Authors for information on formatting and submission. The deadline for submission is 15 May 2007.

The Impact

The use of mobile devices in classrooms is becoming more and more common. The introduction of these resources to produce learning is part of the mobile learning methodology. Among the possibilities of these devices provide we can find, as an emerging technology, augmented reality, which combines elements of the real world with virtual images. The purpose of this paper is to know the impact of the augmented reality in the educational cooperatives of Andalusia. In this regard, educational cooperatives are centers characterized in their origin by promoting the development of methodologies based on Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). The data collection instrument used in this questionnaire is a quantitative methodology of a descriptive nature. The questionnaire was prepared ad hoc according to the existing literature and the answers coded on a Likert scale. The results show that only a minority of teachers implement the augmented reality in their classes. In addition, there are statistically significant differences in terms of professional experience, so that younger teachers tend to implement methodologies based on the use of emerging mobile technologies such as augmented reality. Finally, it is emphasized that despite the constant technological advance of mobile devices in society, their application in the classroom occurs slowly.

The University

In its 30 years of operation, Athabasca University has witnessed the full impact of the growth of online distance education. Its conversion from mixed media course production and telephone/mail tutoring to a variety of electronic information and communication technologies has been heterogeneous across disciplines and programs. Undergraduate programs in business, computing, and some social science programs have largely led the conversion, and all graduate programs have, since their inception, employed various features of online delivery. The parallel conversion of student services has been equally important to the effectiveness of these processes. The implications of this approach for the quality of offerings, support systems, costing, and the primary mandate of the University (which is to remove barriers, not create them) are discussed.
