The modern education process requires introduction of modern information and communication technologies (ICT) in order to make classes more attractive, to properly implement curricular content and, as a consequence, to provide students with education compliant with applicable standards. Some didactic classes are more predisposed to the use of ICT, and others to a lesser extent. The Faculty of Production and Power Engineering of the University of Agriculture in Krakow has been using modern IT solutions to support the teaching process for many years. The mentioned ICT tools include the e-learning platform Moodle, office packages (Microsoft Office, Open Office), groupware tools, Internet platform Google Apps, Microsoft IT Academy and many specialized software. This study presents a case study of the use of ICT tools during selected subjects at the faculty.

The evolution of E-learning has been investigated in this article. In all historical epochs, education played an important role in a society. In the conditions of dynamic and ambitious socio-economic transformation of Ukrainian society education becomes the object of new growing requirements of the individual, society and state. These requirements are a major factor of the driving force behind the development of the education system. In this article we outlined new challenges to the qualification of the working force in information society and E-learning, among which are: the need for dynamic adaptation to rapidly changing knowledge and technologies, the acquisition of new skills. The last two decades have been marked by a significant increase in the emphasis on teaching on the basis of information and computer technology. A withdrawal from traditional training was based on the rapid development of the Internet and Covid-19 pandemic. The use of information and communication technologies in education makes it possible to increase its efficiency and accessibility. In addition, some aspects of the implementation of E-learning in the university have been reviwed. Many universities are actively developing a range of technologies, including mixed learning, with the aim of implementing E-learning at the university. Main features of E-learning, as a method for increasing motivation and self-study skills and as a way to improve an access to education, were investigated in the article. It is pointed out that in the structure of E-learning in educational establishments it is necessary to have such elements as: 1) E-learning system environment with the necessary means for communication of participants of E-learning; 2) electronic database of educational material; 3) virtual laboratory; 4) E-learning participants (teachers, students) and technicians (programmers, system administrators, web designers, animators). E-Learning supports self-directed types of learning. High motivation and self-study skills are prerequisites and must be complemented by an appropriately structured didactic learning environment. Self-organization and self-responsibility are important skills within flexible working and learning cultures. An important condition for E-learning: in the E- learning system can learn only highly motivated, focused and organized persons.

The Relationship

Las tecnologías de la información y de la comunicación (TIC) suponen un cambio en los modos de aprendizaje del alumnado universitario. El propósito de este estudio es conocer la relación entre los enfoques de aprendizaje (superficial y profundo), el uso de las TIC (uso personal, uso académico no escolar y uso académico en el aula) y las competencias TIC (tecnológicas, pedagógicas y éticas) en alumnado universitario de titulaciones de Educación. Se trata de un estudio basado en un diseño correlacional, cuya muestra la constituyen 485 estudiantes de las titulaciones de grado de Pedagogía y de Educación Social de la Universidad de Valencia, seleccionados mediante un muestreo no probabilístico y accidental, recogiendo la información mediante dos cuestionarios. Los resultados señalan la existencia de un vínculo complejo entre las competencias TIC, el uso de las TIC y los enfoques de aprendizaje. Se ha de destacar la relación entre las competencias pedagógicas y las éticas, el uso académico no escolar y el enfoque profundo, así como la relación entre enfoque superficial y uso académico de las TIC en el aula. Por ello, se sugiere la necesidad de formar a los estudiantes en las competencias pedagógicas y éticas de las TIC, ya que si se hiciera se estaría fomentando el aprendizaje profundo. Information and communication technologies (ICT) represent a change in the ways of learning of university students. The purpose of this study is to know the relationship between learning approaches (superficial and deep), use of ICT (personal use, non-school academic use and academic use in the classroom) and ICT competences (technological, pedagogical and ethical) in university students of Education degrees. This is a study based on a correlational design, whose sample is made up of 485 students of the degrees of Pedagogy and Social Education at the University of Valencia, selected by non-probabilistic and accidental sampling, collecting the information through two questionnaires. The results indicate the existence of a complex link between ICT competences, use of ICT and learning approaches. The relationship between pedagogical and ethical competences, non-school academic use and an in-depth approach, and between a superficial approach and academic use of ICT in the classroom should be highlighted. Therefore, the need to train students in the pedagogical and ethical competences of ICT is stressed in order to encourage deep learning.

Within the UK, information and communication technologies (ICTs) have been widely introduced. A recent survey, however, indicates that ICT integration into SMEs has had varied success. Statistics suggest that businesses lack the expertise to identify and integrate ICTs into their organization and processes. A US survey has concluded that 50% of implementations fail when the process they are to support is reengineered to accommodate the technology. Significantly, there is limited support for predicting the consequences that changes to an organization incur. The design and implementation of ICTs must consider those who will use the system, their organization and the process it is to support. To facilitate this, an approach has been developed at the University of Salford that illustrates an organization in terms of its communication relationships, resources, and business practices. A software application has been developed and tested which both collates the large amounts of data involved and represents relationships. This is supported by an expert system that informs the selection and implementation of ICTs. A case study has been conducted with regional SMEs, the results of which are presented.

Most of the world has learned to ”see to Finland” over the last decade, beacuse of its reputation as a leading nation in educational achievement, as well as its many creative and diligent approaches in technology. Since 1990 Finnish researchers in media, technology and education have met annually to discuss research matters and further advances in the area. For the conference of 2016, held 13-15th April in Hämeenlinna, Finland, we were asked to have the best papers published in Seminar.net. After a rigourous review process we will print six papers, four in this issue and two in the next.Antti Syvänen, Jaana-Piia Mäkiniemi, Sannu Syrjä, Kirsi Heikkilä-Tammi and Jarmo Viteli, all of the University of Tampere, present the paper “When does the educational use of ICT become a source of technostress for Finnish teachers?» This interesting paper is based on the analysis of questionnaires filled in by 2741 Finnish teachers. It provides significant insight into what causes teachers to experience stress and alienation when using information and communication technologies (ICT) in their classrooms.Tuulikki Keskitalo and Heli Ruokamo of Lapland University present a paper dealing with “Students’ Expectations and Experiences of Meaningful Simulation-Based Medical Education». Simulation in nursing education is a very rapidly developing area, and the students – as well as their teachers – have high expectation. This project is about student’s expectations and the very positive result from this study was that their experiences were even higher than their expectations.Hanna Vuojärvi, of the University of Lapland and Miikka Eriksson, of the University of Eastern Finland, have written the article «Using Mobile Tools to Support Meaningful Work-based Learning in Vocational Education» together. Their case study focused on meaningful work-based learning (WBL) and the pedagogical use of mobile information and communication technologies (ICTs) in vocational tourism education. It demonstrates how the use of smartphones was applied in the project and its usefulness in the student’s work with the learning material.Antero Lindstedt, Kristian Kiili, Pauliina Tuomi and Arttu Perttula, all from Tampere University of Technology, Pori department provide the paper called “A user experience case study: two embodied cognition user interface solutions for a math learning game». They have used a particular game development environment, Semideus, to test out how different user interfaces influenced. They found interesting differences, mainly in favour of the «tilting user interface».

Abstract For a number of years now, the research activity at the Department of Information and Communication Technologies at the Pedagogical Faculty of the University of Ostrava has been aimed at improving the quality of instruction. A team of experts has been assembled who can create new study materials that can be used in the electronic environment and are able to adapt to students’ individual characteristics and needs. As feedback is an integral part of instruction (be it the e-learning or the classic one), the proposition of electronic adaptive testing has been included in the process. In the proposition, the authors ponder a number of alternative possibilities of adapting test tasks - suitably formulated tasks, suitable reactions to the student’s correct and incorrect answers, suitable selection of individual test tasks. This paper aims to introduce the basic principles and rules of electronic adaptive testing and consider other adaptation options.

This paper aims at discussing the potentials of bottom-up design practices in relation to the latest developments in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) by making an in-depth review of inaugural cases. The first part of the study involves a literature study and the elaboration of basic strategies from the case study. The second part reframes the existing ICT tools and strategies and elaborates on their potentials to support the modes of participation performed in these cases. As a result, by distilling the created knowledge, the study reveals the potentials of novel modes of ICT-enabled design participation which exploit a set of collective action tools to support sustainable ways of self-organization and bottom-up design. The final part explains the relevance of these with solid examples and presents a hypothetical case for future implementation. The paper concludes with a brief reflection on the implications of the findings for the future of architectural design education.
