The introduction of educational application
possibilities of Internet technologies on the basis of a school knowledge
portal
The description of the problem:
-
The document management,
the access to documents is not solved in educational institutions.
-
The communication between
teachers, students and their parents can be realised more in a task-oriented
way than at the present by creating convenient, concerned parts supporting and
protecting rule system, methods and channels using infocommunicational appliances
in a well-considered, activity and task specific way.
-
The restricted
communication, communicational problems between school groups and communities,
occasionally between isolated persons often prevent the application of personally
tailor-made studying methods, the work and formation of teams.
-
Individual, innovative
educational-methodological processes worked out by teachers can be hardly
or not at all used within an institution even harder outside of institutions.
-
Students do not get to know
possibilities of team-work just in this period of life when they are especially
demanding to be a part of community, they do not get experiences of common
creation, co-operation and teamwork.
-
The methodological
management of “teaching the studying” problem is a big challenge for public
educational institutions.
Is to develop a knowledge
portal used in schools, which:
-
is able to convert into
unified format and make easily available for all of concerned all of documents
made in school and concerning the
education and the school management;
-
is able to store these
documents in a unified system, and gives the possibility of full-scaled
retrieval;
-
supports the co-operative
work of individual studying groups;
-
helps to build up student
teams;
-
supports student remedial
courses (with playing and competition elements) after lessons, by including language CBT educational material
into the system;
-
supports
profession-oriented activities of the educational institution and the
development of students’ studying strategy by including a competent CBT
educational material into the system;
With the school knowledge
portal we create a model of a
framesystem which can be applied and adapted in any school, including
the application helping methodology, which:
-
contains a standard editor
able to create, edit and manage XML based documents (including the simple CBT
curriculum);
-
is a knowledge management
system – a database able to store document mentioned above with structured
search;
-
contains prefabricated,
professional materials supporting remedial courses, studying methodology and
teambuilding;
-
on the one hand
make close contact between teachers, students and their parents, and on the
other hand provide IT support for team formation, teamwork, and students’
innovative initiatives
