In Finland teaching of technology has traveled a long road during its 140-year history. It has gradually gone from the copying of the model series dating back to 1860's to the building of computer controlled robots. Materials, techniques and technology have developed wildly but the pedagogic contents are restricted regrettably still often only around the product to be made.
In technology education subject matter teaching model, which includes motivation, planning, working and evaluation is striven for out of narrow minded object thinking and out of merely copying working. In this article subject matter teaching model is approached from the point of view of meaningful learning.
The main purpose of this article is to generate a functional model of evaluation that EMSs can be able to empower online communications characterized by imperative decision making task. The evaluation process of EMSs must merge the multicultural strategies of the theory of Media Richness, and the ethical concerns of the critical approach. Media Richness Theory can empower online communications that resolve ambiguity, negotiate varying interpretations, and facilitate understanding. A critical approach can provide online communication designers with the information in detail that elucidate concerns, issues, needs and expectations raised by stakeholders. Therefore, this paper discusses the naturalistic and critical stages of this evaluation process by introducing a critical perspective on Media Richness Theory to provide exact directions for EMSs.
Many researchers and practitioners contend that all institutions respond to changing market need and can create competitive advantage through innovation and creativity. Each year, institutions expend significant resources developing new products and processes and yet research shows that more than half these initiatives fail. Successful institutions are not innovative by accident; they deliberately manage their innovation process. In order to effectively manage the innovation process, institutions must utilise proven approaches to “lever” innovation within the institutions. This article proposes a new approach to managing systems innovation that centres on the process of institutional innovation and good management practice. This approach aims to provide a more integrated approach to systems innovation that will make it more systemic and improve its likelihood of success. This article main objective is to present systems innovation and education management systems (EMS).
The best Institutions in India today are good in Policies, Systems, and administration, though there has not been a collective effort to hold it in oar with the campuses of international stature.
There is no doubt that the most important activity in schools and universities is conducting classes and lectures to their students. Preparation of timetables is a major task confronted by the management every year. Lot of time is spent on this exercise, yet the end result would be far from satisfactory. In this paper, we draw attention to the different approaches of solution to this problem and the need to look for new directions of research.
Institutions of higher education are embracing the role of the Internet as a medium to promote on-demand communication between faculty and students. As such, online course management systems have become an efficient and effective means of facilitating learning outside the classroom. To ensure that a course management system meets the needs and goals of an institution, it is vital that the selection and migration of content to an online courseware platform is done systematically. This article highlights key stages in the selection and migration process. In addition, practical recommendations are provides focusing on sensitivity to an institution's culture, resources, political climate, and goals for quality and growth.
Cognitive Structures and Linguistic Sequential Memory or Memory of Serial Order are not very well developed among illiterate people contrary to educated people. It affects the comprehension of abstract ideas and the usability of the system. Therefore the cognitive limitations of illiterate must be considered for instructional design and user interface design to achieve better results out of rural e-learning. The paper also throws light on the reasons behind the unorganized cognitive structures of illiterate.
Effective evaluation of educational software is a key issue for successful introduction of advanced tools in the curriculum. This paper details to developing and evaluating a tool for computer assisted learning of science laboratory courses. The process was based on the generic instructional system design model. Various categories of educational software that can be used for laboratory courses are described. The use of computer based resources in supporting the teaching of electronics science laboratory course is described where the course has been enhanced to develop skills in experimental design, data analysis and links to theoretical parts of the subject.
