La technologie n'est pas la reponse a tous les problemes. Si, dans une bibliotheque, un systeme integre est incontournable, il y a des cas ou une solution non technique est parfois preferable. Quand un choix technologique s'impose, c'est generalement la simplicite qui doit l'emporter.

This panel addresses the ALISE Call for Proposals’ “questions of mutual interest” about integrating professional competences into pedagogy by providing interpretations and strategies for including information and communications technology (ICT) core competences into teaching and curriculum at ALA-accredited programs of Library and Information Science. Through an informal roundtable discussion followed by semi-structured and open audience solicitation, four faculty members who teach courses and modules in information technology from two ALA-accredited programs that have recently undergone curri...

While specific technologies are highly favored by the students, as indicated in evaluations, there is a lack of strong statistical evidence of improvement in learning outcomes as a result of the implementation of most of these technologies.

A theoretical model of student learning behavior is developed that posits that students behave as cost-minimizers when it comes to learning, seeking enough learning to achieve their expected or desired grade in a course and then pursuing the least-cost strategy of teaching tool usage to obtain that level of learning.

Some of the biggest advancements in the world of technology are just around the corner, says Chuck Thompson.

Tehnologijski marketing (TM) inicijalno je koncipiran kao integrirajuce podrucje marketinga i tehnologije, s mogucnoscu implementacije u razlicitim prometnim i/ili tehnicki intenzivnim sustavima. Potreba za TM-om postaje evidentna uslijed insuficijentnosti tradicionalnog marketinga u “High-Tech” podrucju i rastucoj “industriji usluga”. Genericki zahtjev za efektivnim usklađivanjem (asocijacijom) ponude i potražnje u osnovi je marketinski problem, bez obzira na specificnosti tehnicko-tehnoloskog sustava. Koncepcija TM-a polazi od temeljnih marketinskih određenja (Core concept) i sustavnog prist...

Much of the contemporary debate over technology is explicitly and implicitly focused on the question of whether certain technological styles are appropriate or inappropriate. The framing of the debate in this way is due to an active social movement that advocates appropriate technology (AT). The movement is growing from urgent concerns with the undesirable “hard” equity, environmental/resource, and quality of life impacts of modern industrial technologies, both in developing and developed countries. The major features of the AT movement and its social sources are examined. Then the emerging hi...

Organizers at the intersection of anticolonial justice and technology, Gabriel Schubiner and Nikhil Dharmaraj discuss their journeys, the historical context of their work, and organizing strategies.

Today we are witnessing a level of technological development that has not been seen so far. This state actually forces us, to a certain extent, to admit what Schuurman (2010) claimed, that "the time of the technological society is now!". Can we allow technology to develop freely, unhindered? Can we let the thirst for knowledge and for evolution to guide our actions in a society where technology has an alarming rhythm of development? Historical evidence shows the opposite (Hiroshima, Chernobyl, etc.). Thereby, enthusiasm declines and criticism and suspicion arise regarding the fact that not all...

This study examines the implementation of New Jersey Educational Technology Implementation through the lens of federal and state laws, as well as state and local regulations.

This study investigates the influence of incentives in lifelong education for national transformation in Nigeria. Data was obtained from lifelong educators with the use of a well structured questionnaire technique was used, and a sample size of sixty adopted for the purpose of the study. Two hypotheses were formulated and tested in the study. It was found that lifelong educators in Cross River State considered their present level of improved incentives will bring out the best in lifelong educators, which will in turn impact the nation economically and socially. Recommendations were made to the...

This paper explores the nature of technology diversification at the product and corporate levels and shows its strong impact upon growth of R&D expenditures and growth of corporate sales. The emergence of "mul-tech" corporations, that is, corporations operating in many technologies, is demonstrated and the hypothesis that technology diversification creates a potential for growth is tested. However, in order to realize mul-tech-based growth it is of vital importance to gear technology management toward reaping both economies of scale and of scope through, among other things, communication and c...

This paper discusses the various concerns in the electric power industry that the Bush administration need to address following his re-election in 2004. These concerns include filling in the key positions in government where critical decisions about electric power will be made such as the directorship of the US Department of Energy's Office of Electric Transmission and Distribution. The Bush administration also needs to help the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to recover its lost authority and the Department of Homeland Security in meeting the challenges of cybervandalism and crime.

It has been suggested that our technical education and training problems may be more focused at the technician level than for scientists and engineers. Trends in technical education would point to the likelihood that this problem will grow more severe in the next 2-6 years unless one recognizes and supports innovative educational reform movements such as Tech Prep/Associate Degree (or tech prep for short), a program that promises to provide more and better prepared technicians in America's workforce. Tech prep is a sequence of study beginning in high school and continuing through at least two ...

Abstract : When faced with any type of irregular warfare, technology integration has proved to be problematic for developed countries with technologically advanced militaries. Developed countries train and equip their militaries and develop military doctrines that tend to focus on protection from other developed countries. Thus, these military agencies are well prepared for conventional warfare and assume they can use the same operational concepts against irregular adversaries as well. Unfortunately, this theory has proved incorrect. History suggests that developed countries rely on the most a...
