Access Data

Since its origin in 2011, the E-Learning Faculty Modules (built on a MediaWiki understructure) has evolved into a resource with over 130 articles in three tiers: Beginners' Studio, E-Learning Central, and Advanced Workshop. This resource has remained focused on supporting online instructors in their work. Since this resource is built in an open-source way on a designed wiki structure, it is possible to data-fy various aspects of the wiki: (1) the emergent wiki-hosted contents, (2) user page views, and (3) observable gaps with ideas for next steps. This chapter demonstrates some of the easy-access data about online usage of an open-access open-source resource distributed through a Web 2.0 technology.

The article raises the problem of classification of the concepts of computer science and informatics studied at secondary school. The efficiency of creation of techniques of training of pupils in these concepts depends on its solution. The author proposes to consider classifications of the concepts of school informatics from four positions: on the cross-subject basis, the content lines of the educational subject "Informatics", the logical and structural interrelations and interactions of the studied concepts, the etymology of foreign-language and translated words in the definition of the concepts of informatics. As a result of the first classification general and special concepts are allocated; the second classification — inter-content and intra-content concepts; the third classification — stable (steady), expanding, key and auxiliary concepts; the fourth classification — concepts-nouns, conceptsverbs, concepts-adjectives and concepts — combinations of parts of speech.
