Society's reliance on technology today has created a demand for more effective ways of communication unlike any before. The need to communicate has made its way from the home to the business world and into the educational setting. This article discusses the historical journey that has landed communication in the classroom. Scholars such as Piaget and Papert help us understand how technology practices in methodology and pedagogy naturally allow for the emergence of new views. This article provides evidence of resources that help both educators and students in the primary grades to fully integrate technology in the everyday setting. The goal of this article is to help educators understand the longitudinal progression that technology has taken in order to become prevalent in the classroom. By understanding how educational networking can enhance learning and help to ignite a passion for learning.
Internet connectivity in tertiary institutions in Africa has been summarized in three characteristics — too little, too expensive and poorly managed (African Tertiary Institutions Connectivity Survey (ATICS), 2006 report). The Internet portal system offers educational organizations the ability to track students needs and promote their programs and plans. This paper examines the effect of portal systems in promoting the corporate images of Universities, where by one Federal and State University in Nigeria were used as an example. Survey was adopted as the method and six hundred respondents were randomly selected for this study. Three hypotheses were tested and analyzed using T-test and correlation analysis. The paper recommended that was a dire need for universities to engage the services of expert web-designers with regard to effective projection of their corporate image through graphics, colour lettering.
Education plays a vital role to develop the nation culturally, economically and socially. That is why every nation focuses on this sector. For its improvement all endeavors are being made through formal education, Non-formal education and Distance Education. The trend of distance education has developed considerably in developed countries and developing countries. Information technology plays a pivotal role for the development of Distance Education. Keeping in view the importance of I.T in education, this study was developed. The main aim of this study was to investigate the use of information technology in distance education in Pakistan. Population comprised of the I.T users, person helping, operating or supervising the I.T tools as planners, academicians, designers, programmers, producers, operators, regional directors and Deans of AIOU. Questionnaire on five point Likert scale was prepared. Collected data was tabulated and analyzed. The main conclusions of the study are: The use of information technology is still limited. Computer net work was not used for distance learners, Radio, T.V programs and relevant audio material, videocassettes were prepared and CDs, software still not in use. University library was not computerized. Staff got training from time to time in I.T Education in their specialization. But there is need to make I.T system more sophisticated according to new trends and students’ needs. There is also need to develop regional centers, which should serve as resource centers to the facilitation of distance learners.
Strategic Enterprise Resource planning (SERP) systems are networked and integrated information mechanisms which are developed to achieve competitive advantage for organizations operating in global scale. It plays a vital role in Integrating various stake holders and channel partners involved in day to day operations. In the present Globalized competitive environment adoption of technology has become inevitable and Organizations are competing with one other for small product margins. The objective of this paper is to investigate under which circumstances SERP may be involved in transformation of Organization resources to achieve Global supply chain competitiveness. The paper further examines its role in contribution to Knowledge Management applications and its support for Corporate Decision making.
An experimental design was carried out to study the effectiveness in learning of the tenth grade students in Physics, when taught through online and face to face. A mash-up of different online tools and learning environment is used for the study. Website ‘Wiziq.com’ provides these online tools and learning environment hence it is used for the study of effectiveness of online learning on students’ achievement. A high score in achievement among students taught and studied through online tools and online learning environment was found through this research. Similarly achievement among students of face to face teaching was found low, this is because in face to face learning, collaborating and sharing of resources is limited to the walls of classroom, but online learning made possible to learning, collaborating, and sharing of resources beyond four walls. Online learning provides the features such as, user centre, user control and communication, and making teaching learning process learner centric.
This study highlights the quality of primary education. Quality in Education, especially at Primary level is an important issue to be discussed at the International Forum. Community Model Primary Schools were established under GPEP Phase I, Phase II, with cooperation of Asian Development Bank. The study compares the quality of Community Model Primary Schools and Govt. Girls Primary Schools. This paper focuses on the study of the effect of facilities, qualifications of Headmistresses, drop out rate, results, and co-curricular activities on quality performance of both types of schools. Case study of six Govt. Girls Community Model Primary Schools and Govt. Girls Primary Schools were conducted for in-depth study of the school performance. The views of the heads of institutions, teachers, students, parents and administrators were collected through semi-structured interview schedules. The researcher personally visited the schools one by one to hold interviews. All the interviews were video-recorded. Data collected was then analyzed. It was found that community Model Primary Schools were performing better as compared to Government Girls Primary Schools in respect of school results, educational environmental co-curricular activities organized in the schools and over all quality education. Finally, the Community Model Primary Schools were found to be better in quality education.
