QUILT: A case study in the impact of a staff development programme

QUILT ('Quality in Information and Learning Technology') is a multifaceted staff development programme which was designed to make all college staff enthusiastic about new technology and to help them incorporate it in their work. The programme has been designed and led by the Further Education Development Agency (FEDA). FEDA's work is described on its web site (http://www.feda.ac.uk). QUILT has its roots in the Higginson Report in which the Further Education Funding Council set out a vision for information and learning technology with staff development as a priority. The English and Welsh Further Education Funding Councils have contributed around £2m to what became a £5m five‐year programme. The continuing emphasis of QUILT has been on the ‘learning’ in information and learning technology

Academic Application Design WEB-based on Junior High Schools

Current advances in information technology have provided great benefits in the world of education, making web-based academic applications is a major use of information technology. Information technology enables academic data to be processed and, making the required presentation of academic information be got, and. This research uses technological trends in managing academic administration so that conventional bookkeeping in junior high schools is overcome by computer systems. The method in developing the system uses a waterfall with WEB-based device implementation. The application of this new system can improve the knowledge and skills of employees, teachers, and principals in web-based academic applications

Emerging trends on the topic of Information Technology in the field of Educational Sciences: a bibliometric exploration

The paper presents a bibliometric analysis on the topic of Information Technology (IT) in the field of Educational Sciences, aimed at envisioning the research emerging trends. The ERIC data base is used as a consultation source; the results were subjected to productivity by authors, journals, and term co-occurrence analysis indicators for the period 2009-2013. The productivity of Computers & Education, and Turkish Online Journal of Educational Technology-TOJET, as well as the preceding authors from Canada, have been emphasized. The more used terms are the following: Information technology, foreign countries, educational technology, technology integration, and student attitudes. Researches performed here seem to have a largely qualitative character, highlighting computers and internet as the mostly explored technological objects. The largest subject matter trend refers to the integration of IT in the higher education learning context, and its incidence over the teaching methods
