Information and Communication Technology (ICT) are key elements in the educational process of teens. Consequently, efforts should be made to integrate ICT into educational plans and policies. Based on this premise, HEBE has been launched – a study on youth empowerment that was funded by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness and carried out by five universities: the University of Girona, the Autonomous University of Madrid, the Autonomous University of Barcelona, the University of Barcelona and Pompeu Fabra University. The project, based on media literacy and transmedia skills, involves the creation of an interactive documentary (i-doc). The HEBE i-doc: digital prints relates the experiences and reflections during the maturation stage of six youngsters with different cultural, educational, family and social backgrounds and profiles. This exploration was carried out through their own audio-visual creations, in a life story format. The i-doc has the dual purpose of (1) devising a methodology based on digital ethnography, and (2) creating an interactive platform for sharing experiences and promoting the visibility of these issues via citizen science.

The paper examines how to alleviate ergonomic hazard and techno-stress associated with the adoption of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). The University of Botswana was used as a case study. Personal observation and interviews were used to elicit information from the staff and students of the University. The rate of adoption of ICT was very high in the University. Most daily routines of academic and administrative duties were done through the Webct and network connection to mopipi.ub.bw. However, a serious gap was discovered in ergonomic practices because design of workstations did not perfectly match the standard expected to facilitate functionality and usability. It is imperative for the university to adopt the provisions of occupational health and safety policy to harmonize the environment, tools, and workers to achieve maximum efficiency and optimal performance.

This article analyses essential factors that can affect the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) infrastructure in higher education. There is a general lack of research on providing the general criteria for infrastructure that could be used as guidelines for education institutions. Higher schools usually develop their own infrastructure based on experts’ advice or delegate this task to the private IT companies. The article aims to investigate how users’ demands influence higher education ICT infrastructure. Therefore, the university-wide students’ demands that affect not only their academic performance but also particular activities are epitomized in the paper. As a case study, the ICT infrastructure of Kaunas University of Technology (KUT) was investigated in order to determine how university e-services fulfil the students’ demands. The research showed that some KUT e-services comply with specific students’ demands, while the others are universal and widely applicable. On closer inspection, it was inferred that not all demands are supported by e-services in the university as only the general information about a particular service is provided.
