Download or read book Advancing Research in Information and Communication Technology written by Michael Goedicke and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-08-03 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For 60 years the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) has been advancing research in Information and Communication Technology (ICT). This book looks into both past experiences and future perspectives using the core of IFIP's competence, its Technical Committees (TCs) and Working Groups (WGs). Soon after IFIP was founded, it established TCs and related WGs to foster the exchange and development of the scientific and technical aspects of information processing. IFIP TCs are as diverse as the different aspects of information processing, but they share the following aims: To establish and maintain liaison with national and international organizations with allied interests and to foster cooperative action, collaborative research, and information exchange. To identify subjects and priorities for research, to stimulate theoretical work on fundamental issues, and to foster fundamental research which will underpin future development. To provide a forum for professionals with a view to promoting the study, collection, exchange, and dissemination of ideas, information, and research findings and thereby to promote the state of the art. To seek and use the most effective ways of disseminating information about IFIP’s work including the organization of conferences, workshops and symposia and the timely production of relevant publications. To have special regard for the needs of developing countries and to seek practicable ways of working with them. To encourage communication and to promote interaction between users, practitioners, and researchers. To foster interdisciplinary work and – in particular – to collaborate with other Technical Committees and Working Groups. The 17 contributions in this book describe the scientific, technical, and further work in TCs and WGs and in many cases also assess the future consequences of the work’s results. These contributions explore the developments of IFIP and the ICT profession now and over the next 60 years. The contributions are arranged per TC and conclude with the chapter on the IFIP code of ethics and conduct.

Download or read book Educational Research and Innovation Educating 21st Century Children Emotional Well Being in the Digital Age written by Oecd and published by . This book was released on 2019-10-22 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the nature of childhood today? On a number of measures, modern children's lives have clearly improved thanks to better public safety and support for their physical and mental health. New technologies help children to learn, socialise and unwind, and older, better-educated parents are increasingly playing an active role in their children's education. At the same time, we are more connected than ever before, and many children have access to tablets and smartphones before they learn to walk and talk. Twenty-first century children are more likely to be only children, increasingly pushed to do more by "helicopter parents" who hover over their children to protect them from potential harm. In addition to limitless online opportunities, the omnipresent nature of the digital world brings new risks, like cyber-bullying, that follow children from the schoolyard into their homes. This report examines modern childhood, looking specifically at the intersection between emotional well-being and new technologies. It explores how parenting and friendships have changed in the digital age. It examines children as digital citizens, and how best to take advantage of online opportunities while minimising the risks. The volume ends with a look at how to foster digital literacy and resilience, highlighting the role of partnerships, policy and protection.

Download or read book Learner Centered Instructional Design and Evaluation written by Rasha AlOkaily and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-04-28 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learner-Centered Instructional Design and Evaluation offers a forward-thinking, evidence-based vision of technology-enhanced higher education that taps into today’s digital access opportunities for more dynamic, agnostic, and inclusive learning experiences. The recent ubiquity of digital devices has fostered a new generation of learners who are technologically adept, engage in rapid social co-construction of knowledge, and expect increased choice and personalisation of educational content and environment. Colleges and universities, however, continue to apply their technology tools into outdated, passive pedagogies. Based on theory and empirical research, this book’s innovative framework guides scholars and practitioners toward instructional design and evaluation approaches that leverage the anytime-anywhere potential of wireless networked devices to foster flexible learning experiences and device-neutral assignments. Each chapter is rich with designs, deliveries, and evaluations of lesson plans, projects, and other real-world course works exemplifying the procedures and principles that will rejuvenate learning amid the globalisation, commodification, and massification of higher education.

Specifically, the role of education in bringing Nigeria's new world about are discussed in simple language and then taken up in different forms all through the book.
