A blended learning (vegyes típusú) tanulást támogató módszerek és hatékonyságuk vizsgálata az Eszterházy Károly Főiskolán: "a digitális identitás az útlevelünk Európába"

The accreditation process of the information management program eventually approved by the Hungarian Accreditation Committee was launched at the 2000/2001 academic year by the INSTITUTE OF MEDIA INFORMATICS of the Eszterházy Károly College. The online based educational materials (available for examination on any web surface via a browser program) are collections of data optimised for network communication and are even suitable for administering network-based examinations. Quality concerns are prioritised elements of the curriculum developmental process, and the foundation of the quality assurance procedure must be established during the first phase of curriculum design Any distance learning scheme, either adult training or an open education program has to provide curricula and educational services facilitating efficient knowledge acquisition regardless of spatial and temporal considerations. While blended training programs combining the traditional and e-learning approach appear to be an efficient vehicle, the suitability of the applied organisational format has yet to be proven. A closer look should be taken at obvious strengths and areas in need of improvement in the area of instructional technology. This lecture will provide an outline of the experiences following the implementation of a blended type learning support program

Innovation dynamics and the role of infrastructure

This report shows how the role of the infrastructure – standards, measurement, accreditation, design and intellectual property – can be integrated into a quantitative model of the innovation system and used to help explain levels and changes in labour productivity and growth in turnover and employment. The summary focuses on the new results from the project, set out in more detail in Sections 5 and 6. The first two sections of the report provide contextual material on the UK innovation system, the nature and content of the infrastructure knowledge and the institutions that provide it. Mixed modes of innovation, the typology of innovation practices developed and applied here, is constituted of six mixed modes, derived from many variables taken from the UK Innovation Survey. These are: Investing in intangibles Technology with IP innovating Using codified knowledge Wider (managerial) innovating Market-led innovating External process modernising. The composition of the innovation modes, and the approach used to compute them, is set out in more detail in Section 4. Modes can be thought of as the underlying process of innovation, a bundle of activities undertaken jointly by firms, and whose working out generates well known indicators such as new product innovations, R&D spending and accessing external information, that are the partial indicators gathered from the innovation survey itself
