Constructivist Education

Constructivist education usually involves authentic assessment, which is affected by the media used to teach. Information technology can enhance or hinder the authenticity of assessment in key ways. This chapter provides a framework to analyze the opportunities to enhance authenticity when assessment is mediated by information technology, as well as the limitations of IT mediation on authenticity. The degree of authenticity possible is determined by several aspects of the competence being assessed: the chronicity of access to and use of information, the durability of the display, the use of written, oral and non-verbal communication, and computer use. This framework is used to identify IT tools that enable more authentic assessment, as well as sample approaches. It identifies aspects of competences that may not be authentically assessed via information technologies, limitations on the use of technology, and future trends.

In this study, I examine the adoption, penetration and impacts of the adoption of leading-edge information technologies in American local governments. I also discuss future trends with respect to these technologies. Data for this study come from three nationwide surveys of information technology in local governments and a series of case studies in US cities about the adoption of leading-edge information technologies. My principal findings are that American local governments have adopted a range of these technologies and can be expected to do so in coming years. This is especially true of the adoption of electronic government. Local government characteristics associated with adoption include principally local government size as measured by population. Other characteristics include type and form of government, region of the country, and metropolitan status. Additionally, local governments adopt leading-edge information technologies for both general reasons (e.g., to improve efficiency and effectiveness) and to solve specific problems (e.g., the adoption of automated fingerprint identification systems to solve crimes).

Information Technology Development

The goal of this study is to analyse processes which effect Lithuania's economical and political development, to present various expert opinions, describe tendencies and advantages of the information technologies (IT) integration in to Lithuania's daily life. Recently started development of information society is the source of different contradictions and opinions, so these opinions are presented. To better understanding of present processes in Lithuania and forecast future trends we shortly introduced progress of IT in Lithuania. The factors which will stimulate development of IT in Lithuania are also described. The IT integration processes in to separate business and social fields such as Education, Economics (Transport and communication, Electronic and electrical engineering, Chemical industry etc.), Government activity are analysed in this article. The suggestions on Lithuania's future development trends are proposed.

With recent advancements in information technologies and language learning models, rapid innovations of technology-enhanced language learning have been widely witnessed by research communities and educational institutions globally. Powerful new technologies, such as social media and networks, mobile applications, wearable computing, cloud computing, and virtual reality have been integrated into language learning to facilitate various aspects, such as interactivity, immediacy, and authenticity. In this study, we present the Future TELL Model considering learning objectives, theories, and strategies by briefly reviewing recent progresses in this area. Future trends and research issues in technology-enhanced language learning are also discussed in relation to cutting-edge technologies, such as deep neural networks, which have not yet been fully recognized by education technology communities.

This chapter presents a framework to integrate effectively different information technologies in order to raise the intelligence and manage the knowledge of a metabusiness, an innovative business model. The concept of intelligence in a metabusiness is analyzed and the information technologies needed to create this new business environment are presented, as well as an integrated model based on a technology-service-process-production taxonomy. A case study addressing a major engineering company in Brazil, now playing the role of an integrator within a metabusiness, is presented in order to validate the proposed model. The main obstacles and hurdles to accomplish an intelligent metabusiness are presented as well as the solutions to overcome them. Future trends and some conclusions in this realm are presented, mainly the ones regarding how to leverage the Human and Innovation Capital in a metabusiness.

High Quality Information

Information technology has a particularly significant role in securing and distributing high quality information on business and financial performance, and the development of information technology causes great challenges for accounting profession. The application of information technology in accounting causes a “transformation of accounting practice” that requires from accountants’ development of new skills.Therefore, the main objective of this paper is to analyse the possibilities of applying new information technology in accounting practice through systematic analysis of recent studies and to investigate how the application of information technology affects the performance of accounting operations.In this context, there is a particularly significant impact of XBRL – the language of financial reporting, Cloud computing, Big Data, Data Analytics but also other emerging technologies like Artificial Intelligence.This paper also investigates future trends also most significant risks due to the use of information technology in accounting. Given their recent nature, the benefits of applying new information technologies in accounting have not yet been fully explored and their systematic analysis will serve as a basis for identifying directions of future development.

Corporate Information

It is not sustainable to keep all information indefinitely. Retention is an essential aspect of corporate information governance that facilitates data and document lifecycle management. Future trends in information technologies lead us to reflect on the methodologies available and the professional qualifications needed to find new ways to help define and implement the necessary retention policies in companies and organizations. Resumen Guardar toda la información indefinidamente no es sostenible. La retención es un aspecto esencial de la gobernanza de la información que facilita la gestión del ciclo de vida de datos y documentos. Las tendencias futuras de las tecnologías de información nos llevan a reflexionar sobre las metodologías disponibles y las cualificaciones profesionales necesarias para encontrar nuevos caminos que ayuden la definición y aplicación de las necesarias políticas de retención en empresas y organizaciones.
