Planned Activities

This paper deals with the theoretical analysis of the principles of efficient use of information and communications technologies (ICT) in teaching and learning, which can contribute to the advancement of the teaching process and motivation of students/pupils in the achieving the planned activities. Apart from the theoretical analysis, the results of empirical research are also presented in the paper. They tested and practically confirmed that there is a significant influence of the application of ICT and enriching the teaching material with multimedia content and also the effects in contemporary teaching of information technology. The primary intention of this paper is to point out the importance of the introduction of ICT to the teaching process with the aim of a significant improvement of students'/pupils' learning through the increase of their motivation and efficiency in learning, and at the same time the improvement in the performance of the educational system.

The Future

This chapter examines applications of information and communications technologies (ICTs) for education, including multi-user virtual environments (MUVEs) and their returns to teaching and learning in U.S. higher education. ICT applications are most valuable when used in the context of courses with a team-based approach to learning or collaboration opportunities. Some drivers of ICT integration are discussed including the internationalization of higher education and the Millennial generation as the new customers of higher education. Recommendations for the fundamentals of positive ICT applications and integration are provided, as well as a discussion about the future of ICT applications such as MUVEs.

Global Information Systems

Managers, IT practitioners, and IS researchers are easily seduced by the latest information technology wave. Consequently, we tend not to question conventional assumptions about the implementation of IT systems in organizations. Instead of providing managers with directions, IS researchers can sometimes turn into prognosticators of the latest information technology fad. We call on researchers to delve below the surface of new IT trends to expose inconsistencies between technological promises and the reality of deploying information systems in global organizations. Many IS researchers are turning their attention to the area of global information management (Gallupe and Tan, 1999). This journal is a vehicle for publishing such research work. Interest in integrated global information systems is fueled both by the developments in information and communications technologies and the trends in business towards globalization of products and markets. Conventional wisdom suggests that businesses operating in global markets would benefit from implementing global information systems and achieve economies of scale and scope. This may be true in some cases, but does it hold for all cases? I suggest it may not. In certain cases deploying global IT systems could lead to diseconomies of scale.

Case teaching experience summed up the unique advantages of risk management. Case Teaching should explore how to develop, how to prepare, how to form both teaching and learning. Especially in risk management teaching, case teaching process is an integral part of innovative education. By the teaching method, It can find an effective way to solve the lack of student motivation, forming distinctive style of teaching.

Significant investments are being made in the application of new information and communications technologies (ICT) to teaching and learning in higher education. However, until recently, there has been little progress in devising an integrated costbenefit model that decision-makers can use to appraise ICT investment options from the wider institutional perspective. This paper describes and illustrates a model that has been developed to enable evaluations of the costs and benefits of the use of ICT. The strengths and limitations of the model are highlighted and discussed DOI:10.1080/0968776030110205

Ethical Controversy

‘What positive and negative aspects are perceived of Information and Communications Technologies (ICT)?’ and ‘What dilemmas arise regarding these technologies?’ are the two questions addressed in this chapter. First of all, we have conducted a theoretical analysis comparing various ICT characteristic from two different perspectives: the positive and the negative ones of ICT. Secondly, we present the results in two work modules conducted in the Observation Laboratory of Technoethics for Adults (LOTA) project, already explained in the previous chapter, with an inference towards intervention.

Universally, information and communications technologies (ICTs) have revolutionised multiple ways of executing tasks in many sectors. In the education sector, ICTs provide a scaffold to enhance technology-driven teaching and learning information needs of the teachers and learners in a school environment. The aim of the study was to investigate the availability and use of ICTs in library facilities in primary schools in disadvantaged rural communities in Limpopo province, South Africa. The study targeted all 18 primary schools in Lebopo Circuit of Mankweng Cluster. Self-administered questionnaires were used to collect data from teacher-librarians who attended a school library workshop at a local high school. Purposive sampling was employed in the selection of the teacher-librarians and all 18 schools were represented by one teacher-librarian. The findings indicate that there are few ICTs used by the teachers to enhance teaching and learning in different library facilities in disadvantaged rural schools. The study recommends that additional ICTs should be procured by the Department of Basic Education (DBE) for distribution to all schools to mitigate technology-driven information needs of teachers and learners. Furthermore, as vandalism was cited as a challenge in all schools, security needs upgrading to protect the few available ICTs.

In recent years, schools have been presented with the challenge to integrate the use of information and communications technologies (ICTs) in the classroom. This challenge places many demands on schools and classrooms, teachers and students. Teachers develop strategies to enable them to cope with the many changes required of them, both in their thinking about teaching and learning and in their ability to use software and hardware. Schools and teachers often reflect on their practices and consider how best to connect teaching and learning with the use of learning technologies. This colloquium shares the journey of one early childhood teacher and describes the processes related to integration of learning technologies into classroom practices.

Improving Teaching And Learning

En el siguiente documento se presenta el diseño de una plataforma educativa de herramientas y temas de salud para el ciudadano, realizado por la filial mexicana de la empresa Compax, la cual trabaja en proyectos de centros comunitarios digitales, para su conversión posterior en ciberescuelas. Con el objetivo de ser un elemento transformador de la sociedad ante un entorno cambiante, donde la aplicación de Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (TIC) en la Educación, se presenta como una oportunidad para promover el aprendizaje y mejorar la enseñanza en el marco del desarrollo de comunidades de aprendizaje virtuales. En este contexto la animación digital juega un papel muy importante, al tener el poder de atrapar la atención de una persona, ayudando a generar interés en temas poco atractivos –como la prevención en la salud- así como ayudándole a entender ideas complejas más fácilmente. The present document thus presents the design of an educational platform of tools and issues relating to the importance of health care to the common people, undertaken in the Mexican company Compax, which develops digital community centers projects, for the subsequent conversion into e-Schools. This for the purpose of being an active element in society, facing a rapidly changing environment where implementation of information and communications technologies in education presents itself as an opportunity for improving teaching and learning within the framework of virtual learning communities. In this context, Digital Animation plays a key role to catch the attention of the people, helping to generate interest on topics considered particularly neither attractive nor unattractive –such as public health prevention- therefore helping to understand ideas that are far more complex.
