Information and communication technologies (ICT) have created many new opportunities for teaching, learning and administration. This study elaborates a new embedded collaborative systems (ECS) model to structure and manage the implementation of ICT-based pedagogies in a blended learning environment. Constructivist learning, systems theory, and multimedia concepts are used in the model design and development. The model was applied to a third-year undergraduate multimedia cartography course. The findings show that regardless of student background, implementing effective ICT-based learning pedagogies can be managed using the ECS model.

Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are the major driving forces of globalised and knowledge-based societies of a new world era. They will have a profound impact on teaching and learning for two decades to come. The revolutionary change which is taking place in Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), has dramatic effects on the way universities carry out their functions of teaching, learning and research, particularly on the creation, dissemination and application of knowledge. These developments pose unprecedented challenges to higher education institutions (HEIs) in developing countries particular in South Africa as South Africa is viewed as the leading country on the continent.

Una sociedad en constante cambio tecnológico exige profesionales de la enseñanza en formación continua. Entre las principales competencias docentes que debe adquirir actualmente el profesorado, durante el proceso de formación inicial, podemos destacar el uso educativo de las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (TIC) y  el trabajo en equipo. A través de esta experiencia de innovación centrada en el desarrollo de una dinámica de trabajo fundamentada en el aprendizaje cooperativo y la utilización del programa Courselab, se exige al alumnado ciertas destrezas específicas en el dominio, tanto del PC en su conjunto, como de la navegación a través de Internet y de la capacidad de trabajo y de resolución en equipo. En definitiva, se pretende completar la formación de los futuros  docentes en entornos TIC, para que puedan desempeñar procesos de enseñanza/aprendizaje que respondan, verdaderamente, a los intereses y motivaciones del alumnado y puedan contribuir a la mejora del éxito escolar. Los resultados de este estudio indican que estos profesores en formación, demandan el uso de herramientas similares que les motiven y se adecuen a los procesos de enseñanza aprendizaje, concluyendo con una valoración positiva tanto de la experiencia como del propio desarrollo de la asignatura.       A technological society in permanent evolution requires teaching professionals with continuous training. Among the main teaching skills that teachers must currently acquire  during process of initial training, we emphasize the educational use of Information and Communication Technologies  (in Spanish its acronym is TIC) and teamwork. Through this innovation experience focused on developing a workflow based on cooperative learning using CourseLab application, specific student skills are required in PC use,  navigation through Internet and ability for teamwork and problem resolution. Definitely, we pretend to complete training of future teachers in ICT environments, so they could perform teaching / learning processes  in order to match students interests and motivations, and may contribute to improvement of school success. Results of this study indicate that training teachers demand the use of similar tools to motivate themselves and adapt to teaching and learning processes. We conclude with a positive assessment of both experience and development of the subject.

One of the factors responsible for changes in society is information and communication technologies, the so-called ICTs, according to Silva and Maciel (2015). With the rise of new information and communication technologies, the traditional model of teaching in which the teacher has an active role (of speaker) and the student has a passive role (listener) can no longer meet the demands of the contemporary world and its technologies. Hybrid teaching solutions (such as blended learning) arise from the use of technology and innovations in the education sector. Thus, this chapter aims to understand how courses categorized as blended should be structured to maximize the potential of this teaching-learning method for teachers, students, and educational institutions. To achieve this goal, a framework was created consisting of the following steps: preparation of the teaching and learning plan, development of activities, development of materials, organization of the virtual environment, follow-up of the course / discipline and discipline rating and improvements identification.

ABSTRACT Objective: to implement a pedagogical strategy in the epidemiology course of a nursing school in a public university. Method: This is an interventional prospective study, with a critical epidemiological approach, based on the learner’s worldview for a theoretical conception about science. The development of the study started from a field recognition for the systematization of the teaching-learning strategy and ended with the evaluation of the course. Results: 67 students participated in the study, 91% were female and 54% were between 20 and 29 years old. Prior knowledge was mostly clinical/biological, and the strategy used enhanced the knowledge of science in a critical, creative and reflective way, stimulating intersectionality and teamwork through the use of Information and Communication Technologies. Final Consideration: The pedagogical strategy provided a meaningful learning about the principles of epidemiology.

The development and deployment of innovative Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in higher education is being given prominent attention today. This is because of its pedagogical and socio-economic forces that include; greater information access; cost effectiveness, enhancement of collaboration and cooperation; and its ability to solve numerous problems confronting education in the developed and developing countries. It is also essential as it allows learners to acquire and exploit information within every sphere of human activities. However, the integration of technology into teaching and learning is facing some problems and challenges. This case presents an overview of the integration and application of modern technologies in providing higher quality teaching/learning in the Obafemi Awolowo University, (OAU), Nigeria, how to solve the problem of providing equitable access to education and how to improve the teaching and learning of Science and Technology in Post Basic Institutions using Technology Enhanced Instruction. It also highlights the problems, challenges and the lessons learnt from such innovation using OAU Ile-Ife as a case study of Nigeria.

Since the methods of teaching and learning are currently changing, Slovenian society is challenged to respond. Ministries responsible for the development of the educational system encourage informatization of education by launching strategically oriented tenders. This research presents three such projects, which together propose guidelines on how to further develop the Slovenian educational system with an emphasis on the introduction of information and communication technologies into everyday life in Slovenian schools at all levels (teaching, learning, management, etc.). There are three main areas that are covered: (1) technical assistance and support, (2) development and deployment of e-learning materials and e-textbooks and (3) teacher training. Using these approaches it would be possible to achieve an increase in digital competences and a change in our pedagogical paradigm. Results show a better motivation, communication and improved teamwork among students. This is a consequence of changes in the way of thinking and teaching by both teachers and other school participants, especially the headmasters who put the student in the centre of activities. The whole process of school informatization depends on a coherent development of various fields. The focus is on a change of pedagogical paradigm and the consequential teacher and managerial staff training. Key words: e-competent school, e-competent teacher, e-textbooks, innovative 1:1 pedagogy.
