Studijų pasiekimų elektroninio portfelio sprendimai socialinių tinklų aplinkoje

Aptariamos studijų pasiekimų elektroninio portfelio diegimo ir valdymo galimybės, pasitelkiant šiandieniame internete populiarias Web 2.0 technologijas ir socialinių tinklų aplinkas. Didelė dalis studentų darbų universitete yra pateikiama elektronine forma, todėl el. portfelis suteikia puikias galimybes matyti ir panaudoti šių elektroninių dokumentų visumos teikiamą informaciją apie studento įgytas žinias ir gebėjimus. El. portfelio sėkmė labai priklauso nuo galimybių pasirinkti patogius, atvirus,studento iniciatyvą skatinančius įrankius. Remiantis „Microsoft Live@Edu“ bendravimo ir bendradarbiavimo elektroninės erdvės pavyzdžiais parodyta, kad el. portfelio sprendimai gali būti sėkmingai diegiami į interneto socialinių tinklų aplinką, naudojant studentams ir dėstytojams patogius informacijos kaupimo ir analizės įrankius.Study Achievement e-Portfolio Solutions in the Nocial Network EnvironmentKęstutis Šidlauskas, Daiva Vitkutė-Adžgauskienė SummaryThe paper analyses the possibilities of implementing and managing the learning achievement e-portfolio, using widespread Web 2.0 technologies and social network environments. An increasing amount of student‘s work is being done in electronic form, therefore the e-portfolio provides an effi cient way of viewing and using summary electronic information on student‘s acquired knowledge and skills. The success of e-portfolio approach largely depends on the selection of convenient open tools capable of stimulating the student‘s initiative in this process. Based on the examples of Microsoft Live@Edu electronic communication and collaboration environment, it is shown that e-portfolio solutions can be successfully implemented in the internet social network environment, using convenient information storage and analysis tools

In search of sustainable business models for cognitive radio evolution

In this paper we examine the emerging industry of Cognitive Radio/Software Defined Radio (CR/SDR), a sector which in some ways seconds the industry structure of the cellular mobile communications, while bearing distinctive characteristics. Any radio telecommunications infrastructure depends on scarce resources – radio frequency spectrum – that require policy decisions for allocation to specific countries and services. CR/SDR may constitute a new paradigm in radio communications as it may completely or partially eliminate the role of the regulator in minutiae of spectrum access authorization. In this paper, we review scarce literature on CR/SDR to analyze the relationships between political, technological and economic factors in order to identify drivers and barriers to the emergence of new techno-economic paradigm of CR/SDR. Our discussion of business opportunities for CR/SDR includes analysis of applicable spectrum access policies and identification of those of them, which would be most fertile for the development of future CR/SDR business

Lithuanian roadmap. A6

ALIPRO is an EU research project under Framework Programme 6, carried out by a consortium of 14 organisations from all new member states (NMS) of the European Union, the acceding and candidate countries (ACC) Romania, Bulgaria and Turkey, and ‘old’ EU member state Germany. The project aims at supporting the alignment of the NMS’ and ACC’s national and regional research programmes with European IST research in the area of mobile technologies, applications and services. This document is ALIPRO final deliverable and presents the complete project results, including the vision and roadmap on the alignment of national and regional research programmes on mobile communication in the NMS and ACC. The vision building and roadmapping was based on the results of the benchmarking of national programmes supporting research on mobility in the NMS and ACC carried out in the initial stage of the project, results of which are also summarised in this report. ALIPRO envisages an emergence of a network of autonomous yet fully open national and regional research programmes on IST, including mobile communications, as an integrated element of the ERA. National programmes managed locally, but coordinated at European level should aim primarily at addressing national and regional research needs of academia and industry in the most efficient way possible.

Author - User Interaction Model for OER

The paper discusses the need for open education resource author and user interaction, then suggests pre-defined author - user interaction points and responsibility areas for their pre-planned decisions and actions for mutual interaction. Author - user interaction model is based on the problems addressed discussing authors and user needs. Conceptual model - scenario is suggested by the authors of this research, and is the target for further validation and practical implementation guidelines for both education and technology specialistsEdukologijos tyrimų institutasTaikomosios informatikos katedraVytauto Didžiojo universiteta

ALIPRO national report Lithuania : Overview of national research programmes on mobile telecommunications in Lithuania

ALIPRO objective ALIPRO1 aims at supporting the alignment of the NMS’ national and regional research programmes with the European IST research in the area of mobile technologies, applications, and services. Purpose of the document The national report endeavours to present the findings of ALIPRO carried out in Lithuania. It comprises an overview on mobile IST situation and a detailed description of R&D programmes together with their evaluation. It contains also the conclusions drawn from the evaluation of the R&D funding system in Lithuania. It is meant for institutions and individuals active in the field of mobility. The mobile sector in Lithuania The Lithuanian ICT Sector is mostly private and in 2004 consisted of around 1000 IT companies employing around 30 thousand people2. The total value of telecommunications market (including mobile) in 2004 was 2137 million LTL3, and income from mobile communications amounted to about 51% of the entire telecommunications market in 2004. The Lithuanian mobile telecommunications market is developing very rapidly. The total number of active mobile subscribers by the end of Q2 2005 was 3.5 million (penetration of 107%), and this number has increased by 45% in one year. Intensive competition in the mobile communications market has determined decrease of service prices. Prices for all basic GSM services in Lithuania are the lowest in EU for consumer and middle-use segments and fourth cheapest for business segment. Usage of mobile data is growing rapidly. By the end of 2005 H1 the number of active GPRS/EDGE was 413 702, the change being 210% compared with 2004 H

Programavimo mokymo metodų ir priemonių parinkimo problemos

The paper analyses the problems in selecting and integrating tools for delivering basic programming knowledge at the university level. Discussion and analysis of teaching the programming disciplines, the main principles of study programme design, requirements for teaching tools, methods and corresponding languages is presented, based on literature overview and author‘s experience. A pressure from labor market, students and other sources to emphasize practical skills over deeper, long-term programming concepts is described. A model of teaching introductory programming disciplines at a higher logical level, using C#, is presented as a summary of the accomplished analysis, and also taking into account the recommendations of the ACM (Association for Computing Machinery) association for typical teaching programs. Also, design principles for building introductory programming courses, aligned with such teaching approach, are presented. This model has already been trialed at Vytautas Magnus UniversityTaikomosios informatikos katedraVytauto Didžiojo universiteta
