Human resources are usually the most expensive resource in any organization. They thus need careful management. The aim of human resources management (HRM) is to Ensure that a firm has the right number of people with the required knowledge, skills, abilities and competencies, in the right place, at the right time, at an affordable cost and who are motivated and committed to achieving the current and strategic need of a firm. (Macky & Johnson, 2000, p. 3) Information communication technologies (ICT) have changed the way organizations conduct their business. The use of ICT in HRM is often referred to as e-HRM, Web-based HR, or virtual HR, which Lepak and Snell (1998) define as “a network-based structure built on partnership and typically mediated by information technology to help organizations acquire, develop and deploy intellectual capital” (p. 216). ICT has made e-HRM applications not only possible, but also economically viable (Watson Wyatt, 2002). However, the adoption of e-HRM in New Zealand does not appear to have progressed as speedily as the adoption of technology in many other functional areas of the organization. Although most organizations utilized basic ICT applications such as e-mail and the Internet in the HR department, the majority do not appear to have moved far enough into actual e-HRM development, such as e-recruitment and e-benefits (Watson Wyatt, 2002).

<p>Research problem: Despite its ubiquitous usage, there has been a lack of research into the New Zealand public sector’s use of Information Communication Technologies (ICT). Email records pose a particular problem, especially when their management is left in the hands of the end user. This poses a risk where the Public Records Act 2005 (PRA) is concerned. The research within this paper explores the retention and disposal of email records within New Zealand tertiary institutions so that the attitudes of information professionals responsible for the retention of email records are captured, as are the perceived risks of managing such records.  Methodology: For the purpose of this study quantitative data was collected to determine the understandings, attitudes, and concerns of information professionals. The unit of analysis was drawn from a population consisting of information professionals within New Zealand tertiary institutions. For the purpose of this research, tertiary institutions that operate as publically funded crown entities were identified. The research was undertaken with a Continuum perspective.  Results: Within tertiary institutions, the issues of email management do not appear to lie with the appraisal policies or retention and disposal schedules. Instead the main risks associated with email records stem from the original creator, or end user, being responsible for identifying what emails are records and managing them appropriately. The implementation of electronic document and records management systems (EDRMS) varied between institutions, but majority of the research participants identified them as being of importance to the capture and management of email records.  Implications: The findings show that there is a lack of empirical evidence into how the end users within tertiary institutions are treating email records. Further study is needed within tertiary institutions as well as the wider public sector regarding the risks posed by the mismanagement of email records. There is also the need for further research into the implementation of EDRMS, and how EDRMS vendors in New Zealand are meeting legislative requirements.</p>

Society Today

Society today is characterized by, among other things, two main factors: (i) the abundance of information and large variety of resources freely available at no cost to learners, and (ii) information communication technologies for easy retrieval of information and communication of ideas. These factors make independent research and learning possible for a wider number of learners anytime and anywhere there is access to the World Wide Web, for example through the use of mobile technologies such as mobile phones and handheld computers (Ng & Nicholas, 2007). Hence, teaching students to be technologically literate to learn independently with Web-based resources is a step towards preparing them to be self-directed, life-long learners.

Education Process

The main aim in the environment of the teaching events is to develop and consolidate the abilities, widen students’ outlook, deepen their theoretical knowledge. Students learn to know all the world’s special variety in class, auditorium. Beside school, in students’ living place or further environment there is suitable site where students cannot only deepen their knowledge, but also they can show their creativeness, ability to work in a team, help each other. It develops students’ motivation, natural science competence. Integrated teaching path where students and teachers work together, can be also called a specialized path, because here you can do tasks, deepen your theoretical knowledge, consolidate abilities. It can be used not only in geography lessons. Such a specialized path can perfectly serve for studying biology, chemistry, physics. It is important to foresee the right place and use the right methods for a specialized path. Nowadays information communication technologies are closely connected with the teaching process in a secondary school. It helps to prepare a teaching path more creatively, more picturesquely. It is also possible to use the newest navigation appliances. The same, IST help to perform teaching path’s dispersion. Key words: integrated teaching path, specialized path, navigation appliances.

The article is devoted to the problem of educational communications development as a sphere of implementation of modern information-communication technologies in the higher education system. The purpose of the article is to present the structure and functions of educational communications aimed at the development of personal potential and self-realization of students. Methodology. The study is based on the methodology of personal and communicative-informational approaches in education, psychological-pedagogical provisions on the structure of communication, the leading role of learning activity, didactic principles of building an educational-informational environment. In theoretical terms, the study is based on the idea of the indirect implementation of ICT in education through the development of educational communications. The developing structure of educational communications, including didactic, informational-gnostic, interactive, psychological, attractive-motivational, value-semantic components, is presented. The possibilities of developing personal potential in educational communications are considered. The author’s developmental model of ICT functions is presented, which includes clusters of actual and latent functions aimed at the formation of information-educational space for the development of students’ personal potential. In conclusion, a inference was made about the prospects of the indirect introduction of modern ICT as tools for the development and functioning of various educational communications. At the same time, it is essential that these communications perform psychological and pedagogical tasks and functions.
