The relevance of the article is because in parallel with the processes of introduction of innovations in the field of automation and computerization of the banking system, the number of types of banking risks associated with innovations in the field of on-line customer service and internal Bank reporting, as well as information systems. As a result of this article, we have studied the latest legislative acts of the Central Bank of Russia as a mega-regulator and summarized the practice of both individual credit institutions and the banking sector in the field of information technology development risks in the banking sector. To strengthen the development of new financial technologies in the digital economy, it is necessary to regularly discuss the emergence of new phenomena and innovations; to consider the possibility of further analysis of existing methodological developments to exchange best practices of banks. Building an effective it security risk management system is not a one-time project. Still, a complex process is important, focused on minimizing external and internal threats and taking into account the limitations on resources and time factor

This paper discusses pedagogical and technological aspects of networked learning and the interplay between pedagogical principles, information technology and the educa-tional and organisational frameworks in the context of a distance-teaching course for Danish graduates seeking research-based further education and training in English for medical purposes. The empirical basis is an evaluation report of a second generation distance-teaching course where applied information technologies are geared to maxi-mum pedagogical efficiency by presenting on-line course materials in a flat visual de-sign and by facilitating dialogue between course participants working in teams.

This narrative of an engagement with the open and distance learning system and its highpoint of launching anonline learning package in 2001 reveals an attempt to integrate various components of multi-media format of course development. The uneasy task of meeting the various needs of diverse learners became possible by using the information technology tools to communicate and interact more effectively. Well-structured architecture of the website of the program, including its peer-evaluated threaded discussion board has been well accepted by he learners. Rudimentary in its overall design, this first eversocial science on-line program in India may be, it has generated in the institution a live interest in encouraging further attempts at launching on-line programs of study

Discusses the rise of information technology functions in higher education and the related advent of quality standards for on-line education. The limited nature of existing guidelines is emphasized, particularly in the dimension of establishing authentic relationships, empowerment of faculty and students, and the inculcation of critical thinking. The Borkian vision of the future of education is summarized and contrasted with the limits if not failure of the legacies of past large-scale educational investments in programmed learning and in computer simulation. The drift toward mandated standards in on-line/distance education is discussed as well as the tension of this with empowerment concepts. Further contrast is drawn between the competing models of the university as “community of scholars” and as “marketplace of consumers.” Cost-cutting motives for on-line course delivery are explored in some detail, raising issues about radical proposals to restructure university teaching functions. A hybrid model, involving both computer-mediated and face-to-face methods, is seen as the superior instructional strategy, but the cost of this model raises the danger that a two-tier educational system will emerge – a more expensive upper tier with sound traditional education supplemented with the benefits of electronic media, and a cheaper, inferior tier dispensing programmed training to meet objectives far narrower than the traditional goals of liberal education.

Abstrak: Setiap teknologi dibangun atas dasar suatu teori tertentu. Demikian pula teknologi pembelajaran, dibangun atas dasar prinsip-prinsip yang ditarik dari teori dan teknologi informasi. Teknologi informasi adalah sarana dan prasarana (hardware, software, useware) sistem dan metode untuk memperoleh, mengirimkan, mengolah, menafsirkan, menyimpan, mengorganisasikan dan menggunakan data secara bermakna. Teknologi Informasi yang dimaksudkan di sini adalah segala bentuk pemanfaatan komputer dan internet untuk pembelajaran. Model pembelajaran berbasis teknologi informasi yang bersifat off line (multimedia) dan yang bersifat on line (internet) misalnya e-learning. Penggunaan teknologi informasi dalam pembelajaran ini diawali oleh B.F Skinner (1958) yang membuat sebuah mesin pembelajaran (teaching machine) dengan konsep pembelajaran terprogram yang dikembangkan berdasarkan teori belajar behaviorisme. Kontribusi atau dukungan teknologi informasi dalam teknologi pembelajaran untuk dapat menjangkau peserta didik di manapun mereka berada. Selain itu untuk melayani sejumlah besar dari peserta didik yang belum memperoleh kesempatan untuk belajar, memenuhi kebutuhan belajar untuk dapat mengikuti perkembangan zaman, dan meningkatkan efektifitas dan efisiensi dalam belajar.Kata kunci: Teknologi informasi, teknologi pembelajaran, multimedia interaktif, internet.Abstract: Each technology is developed on the basis of a certain theory. It also happens to instructional technology. It is developed on the basis of principles drawn from theory and information technology. Information technology is a facilitation and infrastructure, system and method for attaining, sending, processing, interpreting, organizing, and utilizing data in a significant way. Information technology meant here is any form of utilizing computer and internet for learning. E-learning si an example of off-line and online instructional model. The use of information technology in learning initiated by B. F. Skinner (1958) by developing a teaching machine applying programmed instructional concept based on the behaviorism learning theory. The contribution or support of information technology in instructional technology enables a wider coverage of learners wherever they are. Morever, information technology can serve a great number of learners to get opportunity to access to learning, to fulfill learning needs in order to adapt with the changing times and to improve the effectiveness and efficiency in learning. Keywords: Information technology, instructional technology, interactive multimedia, internet.

ITIL® (Information Technology Infrastructure Library) é um padrão desenvolvido pelo Governo Britânico e adotado mundialmente para a gestão de serviços de tecnologia da informação. É uma estrutura de trabalho que não requer a implantação de todos os seus requisitos, apenas sugere a aplicação de boas práticas. Este trabalho buscou verificar através de um Survey on line veiculado para profissionais de Tecnologia da Informação a adoção do ITIL® no Brasil, especificamente o domínio “Estratégia de Serviços”, domínio este que pode ser negligenciado em função da existência de outros com resultados mais imediatos. Os dados coletados foram tratados no software MS Excel ® e carregados no software NetDraw®, produzindo-se as redes de relacionamento entre o ITIL® e seus atores, discutidas neste trabalho. Os resultados apontaram para uma significativa aceitação do domínio Estratégia de Serviços no Brasil.

One socio-economic and environmental challenge facing the leaders of tomorrow is how Green Information Technology can be applied effectively by organisations to contribute to the global green revolution. The author teaches 1500 undergraduate students yearly about Green Information Technology to influence awareness positively in terms of efficient ways that computer resources can be used. In order to facilitate this process, the author supplemented the theory component with a practical assignment leveraging a number of interactive learning tools, including: social networking, on-line collaboration, and 3-D programming. These tools can be classified as one of the components of social computing. Social computing is seen as the convergence of information technology with social behaviour, and the resulting interactions. The tools used include: Alice©, Facebook©, and pbWiki©. The students were tasked with creating an animation using Alice© teaching people about Green Information Technology. Upon completion of the assignment, a questionnaire was distributed in order to ascertain what their view of Green Information Technology was. This paper details the nature of the Green Information Technology teaching techniques that were employed and details the findings of the questionnaire. The paper merges theory and practical aspects of teaching Green IT and provides educators and researchers with insight in terms of interactive teaching tools that can be employed.

This paper considers how innovations in information technology have changed the process by which accounting historians collect primary and secondary sources of information. It examines how web-based systems have made it possible for historians to collect data from what is effectively a twenty-four-hour “on-line library”. The paper explores some of the limitations of technological innovations and considers the steps necessary to ensure future access to information stored in digital electronic form. It also considers the challenges involved in authenticating primary source documents such as e-mail and facsimiles and the impact of encryption on the availability of data in the future. Advances in information technology suggest that future generations of accounting historians will require new skills.

The last 15 years have seen a tremendous growth in the exchange of bibliographic records between organizations which has been assisted by advances in information technology. The library community has developed UNIMARC and the abstracting and indexing community are using the UNISIST Reference Manual to facilitate the transfer of bibliographic data between databases. Unesco is establishing a Common Communication Format in an attempt to bridge the gap between the library and A & I communities. However, different practices in record creation between organizations providing records mean that records from different sources cannot always be merged com fortably into one database even if they have been converted into the same exchange format. One way of achieving the necessary compatibility between records from different sources is by editing the records as they are received. This can be time-consuming and can make the use of records from outside sources uneconomic. New technology, in the form of intelligent terminals, can make this more of a practical proposition. Records can be obtained on-line from external databases and can then be changed either by the intervention of the operator or by programs in the terminal which can make changes to the data or tags of particular fields before adding the records to the file. Very little research has been done on the economics of using intelligent terminals to edit records but this kind of operation is likely to increase in the future as more bibliographic systems using intelligent termi nals are developed.
