Digital Learning & ICT in Education

barokah    4:04 AM    Comment   

Digital technologies are an inseparable part of today's learning process. The European Commission works on several policy initiatives in order to modernise education and training, provides funding for research and innovation in order to promote digital technologies used for learning and measures the progress on digitization of schools.

Digital Learning and the EC

The Action plan on Digital Learning

The European Commission has adopted on 17 January 2018 the Communication on the Digital Education Action Plan. The Action Plan outlines how the EU can help individuals, educational institutions and education systems to better adapt for life and work in an age of rapid digital change by:

Making better use of digital technology for teaching and learning;

Developing relevant digital competences and skills for the digital transformation;

Improving education through better data analysis and foresight.

Strengthening European identity through education and culture

The European Commission adopted on 17 November 2017 the Communication on Strengthening European identity through education and culture, the Commission's contribution to the Leaders' meeting on education and culture at the Gothenburg summit. Within this Communication, the Commission proposes to roll-out in 2019 the pilot project for an EC student eCard, with the objective of offering it to all mobile students by 2025, to facilitate student mobility across borders and offer a new user-friendly way to store information on a person's academic records. A study commissioned by the European Commission is currently analysing the feasibility of eID and Authentication Services to support Student Mobility and Access to Student Services in Europe and will soon be published.

Improving and modernising education

On 7 December 2016, the European Commission also adopted a Communication on improving and modernising education in order to provide a high quality education for all, highlighting amongst others the benefits of digital technologies for offering new ways of learning.

Opening up education

The European Commission has also adopted on 25 October 2013 the Communication on Opening Up Education, a high-level European Agenda to seize the opportunities of the digital revolution in education and training, as well as the Communication on Rethinking Education adopted on 20 November 2012, investing in skills for better socio-economic outcomes.

Funding of Research and Innovation for Digital Learning

The European Commission funds many activities on research and innovation for digital learning under several programmes, including Horizon 2020, FP7 and CIP.

Calls for proposals:

Mentoring Scheme for schools: mainstreaming innovation by spreading the advanced ICT-based teaching practices to a wide circle of schools (€2 M)

    Date of publication: 05/11/2019

    Date of closing: 12/03/2020

The following areas were covered under Horizon 2020:

An empowering, inclusive Next Generation Internet (ICT-2019-30). More information in the background document.

Technologies for learning and skills (ICT-22-2016)

Technologies for better human learning and teaching (ICT 20 – 2015)

Advanced digital gaming/gamification technologies (ICT 21- 2014)

In the work programme year 2018-2020 of the Horizon 2020 programme, the focus will be on supporting actions on smarter, open, trusted and personalised learning solutions to optimise digital learning and to allow learners to engage and interact with content and with peers (topic ICT-30-2019-2020: An empowering, inclusive Next Generation Internet).

Initiated by the European Parliament, the European Commission also co-funds the development and demonstration of a European-wide learning and assessment technology system and networks to facilitate the up- and re-skilling of European citizens at risk of exclusion, in particular migrants, whilst empowering citizens to take more responsibilities for their own learning. Moreover, the European Commission, following the initiative by the European Parliament, co-finances a pilot project to identify existing digital learning solutions that can support teachers in the classroom and parents at home with pupils having attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder and/or concentration problems.

Measuring the progress on digitization of schools

In order to assess progress made in the introduction of ICT in education, the Commission plans to update "The Survey of Schools: ICT in Education". This study has been the last in-depth analysis on the uptake of technology in classrooms across Europe, with data collected in 2011-2012. It provides detailed and reliable benchmarking on the use of ICT in school education across Europe, from infrastructure provision to use, confidence and attitudes.

Six years later, there is an urgent need to provide more up-to-date figures. Building on the results of the first Survey of Schools: ICT in Education, the European Commission plans to publish a 2nd Survey of Schools: ICT in Education early 2019. The study will assess progress made in mainstreaming ICT in education and define the conditions for the future connected classroom.

Moreover, the European Commission has also published a study on the satellite-based broadband services in schools. The study showed that in 2015, an estimated 18% of primary and secondary schools in the EC were not connected to broadband. The study concluded that the satellite broadband could be an efficient option for poorly connected schools. It also suggested that a voucher scheme could be used as a tool to close the broadband gap for schools.

ICT (information and communications technology, or technologies)

ICT (information and communications technology, or technologies)

ICT, or information and communications technology (or technologies), is the infrastructure and components that enable modern computing.

Although there is no single, universal definition of ICT, the term is generally accepted to mean all devices, networking components, applications and systems that combined allow people and organizations (i.e., businesses, nonprofit agencies, governments and criminal enterprises) to interact in the digital world.

Components of an ICT system

ICT encompasses both the internet-enabled sphere as well as the mobile one powered by wireless networks. It also includes antiquated technologies, such as landline telephones, radio and television broadcast -- all of which are still widely used today alongside cutting-edge ICT pieces such as artificial intelligence and robotics.

ICT is sometimes used synonymously with IT (for information technology); however, ICT is generally used to represent a broader, more comprehensive list of all components related to computer and digital technologies than IT.

The list of ICT components is exhaustive, and it continues to grow. Some components, such as computers and telephones, have existed for decades. Others, such as smartphones, digital TVs and robots, are more recent entries.

ICT commonly means more than its list of components, though. It also encompasses the application of all those various components. It's here that the real potential, power and danger of ICT can be found.

ICT indicates that indicates "information and connections technology" (or technology). It is a mixed term that many kinds Associates. In the connections of ICT in group may consist of tv, mobile phone, satellite tv tv radio stations system, programs, elements, and many others.

Basically, any details that could be seen moving from one place to another type of ICT, but usually relates to techniques, electronic, pc, or other kinds of developments. It is a term that seems to be more regularly outside the U. s. States, and is often associated with a particular place such as: ". ICT in knowledge or health"

In our modern world we are with the assessment of this technological innovation every day often and is very easy to take for offered. As the illumination in our homes, we hardly ever quit to think about how awesome it is that we go into a dark room and turned on the light change considering. However, due to a complex system of energy plants, sewerlines and devices that bring us awesome energy as it is for us to link efficiently, so fast and needs between and implement the awesome amount of details, sources and time.

We have a whole world of details at our comfort through the energy of the World Extensive Web, tv and radio stations system, as well as the ability to accomplish almost anywhere else on the world for people with awesome enhancement in the place of telecommunications. Technology Evaluation is definitely necessary for the operate of our modern way of life, the fact that I make and you research this, is confirmed at the inner of details and connections technologies: pcs.

Not everyone is so lucky, however. Views These sources are important to our modern way of life that we are so obviously not existing everywhere. There is an whole nation that does not have to fight culturally, politically and financially and Views These places do not have the sources to meet up with the full use of these modern awesome things. For people who want to be a aspect of the group and technological innovation developed in the group, the worldwide details and e-mails of this assessment is to be identified and used efficiently used. Development through ICT is one of the best techniques for countries to be a world group.

Of course, as you can think about, it needs a lot of support from WHO experts have already done this in other places. This is where organizations such as the e-Schools and Places Attempt International access.

GeSCI identified in 2004, was identified by the UN ICT Procedure Power. The UN ICT Procedure Power used a offer for UN organizations to provide on-demand support to developing countries to try to control the remarkable prospective of ICT to improve the quality of studying and teaching in main and additional knowledge.

Type of company do opinions, amazing things to bring this important system to assessment our others who stay close by all over the world. Resources are easily taken for offered, it must be identified by the makers of this type assessment working group and hardly ever become important in other parts around the world. They have to desire everyone and be a aspect of the worldwide conversation will help dedicated.
