VIABILITY OF COMPUTER-BASED EXAMINATION IN DEVELOPING NATIONS: THE WAY FORWARDIJCSEA Journal
Computer-based examination is becoming order of the day in almost all developed, developing and under
developed nations. This is due to its advantages over paper means of testing. Unfortunately, some of the
developing countries are adopting it without thorough examination of its feasibility, practicability,
capability and possibility. This study tried to educate the public, government and examination bodies on the
issues on ground that needs special attention before its full implementation. Data were gathered, analyzed
and interpreted to show clear picture of present situation and the way forward.
Impact of Computers’ Implementation on Administration Use in Public Secondary...paperpublications3
Abstract: The purpose of this study was to establish the impact of computer implementation on administration use in public secondary schools in Nyamira North District.t. The objectives of this study were to; determine how computers were utilized, determine how the impact of computers was rated among the principals; HODs (Head of Department) bursars and librarians. The study utilized descriptive survey design. The researcher used four tools for data collection: principals’, HOD’s, Bursar’s and librarians’ questionnaire. The target population was 40 public secondary schools from where a sample of 12 schools was purposively obtained. The data were collected by the researcher by administering the tools himself. The data analysis was done using SPSS (Statistical Package of Social Sciences) and Chi-square was used to determine the level of significance of the impact of computer. The study found that only two schools in Nyamira North use computers in accounts offices and the library. It was also found that all management offices were inadequately prepared in use of computer skills. In the principals’ offices, it was found that computers were mainly used for clerical jobs such as typing letters. Bursars used the computers to receive fees, pay vouchers, and prepare budgets and balance sheets. Librarians used computers to issue books, receive books, trace books and locate them on the shelves. The impact of computers were found to be great because they made work easier as they could detect and correct errors, store large volumes of work, edit documents and produce accurate reports. In accounts, computers had a great impact by availing up to date records and speeded work. In the library computers have a great impact in tracing books on loan, receiving and issuing books and locating books on the shelves hence guarding against loss of books?

Manual method of sorting out for result and computing it has posed a big problem to exams unit in ChukwuemekaOdumegwuOjukwu University (COOU), In Anambra State, Nigeria. During computation of results, the exam officers collect paper results from the department and either calculate them on papers or enter them on a computer for computation. Either of them is hard work and time wasting. Hence we propose a change and retrieval agent in computing results in ChukwuemekaOdumegwuOjukwu University, Uli. Since the University already has an existing website, we require a new format for uploading results to the website using Microsoft excel witheight (8) specific columns namely: names of students, registration numbers, continuous assignment, examination score, total score, grade and remarks done by course lecturers.To compute the results of a particular student, the exam officer opens the application; enters the required detail and the application will fetch and populate the grade fields automatically from the results already uploaded on the university website by the course lecturers. The application needs internet connection in order to do this. Thereafter the results are computed by the application. The methodology used is Object Oriented Analysis and Design Methods. The application is a windows application written with Microsoft visual basic.net. The database used in saving login information and computed CGPAs is a free distributed database MySQL. The result of this researchis a functional result retrieval and computation application used only by the authorized personnel for computation of degree results.
Investigating a theoretical framework for e-learning technology acceptance IJECEIAES
E-learning has gained recognition and fame in delivering and distributing educational resources, and the same has become possible with the occurrence of Internet and Web technologies. The research seeks to determine the factors that influence students' acceptance of E-learning and to find out the way these factors determine the students' intention to employ E-learning. A theoretical framework was developed based on the technology acceptance model (TAM).

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Title: UTILIZATION OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AMONG
HIGHER EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS REGION III
Researcher: FEDERICO C. AQUINO JR.
Degree: Doctor of Education
Major: Educational Management
The study aimed to describe the utilization of information technology
among Comprehensive Higher Educational Institutions in Region III.
Specifically, it aimed to answer the following questions:
1. What is the status of the information technology facilities managed by
Comprehensive Higher Educational Institutions in Region III of:
1.1.1.1 Administrative offices,
1.1.1.2 Academic offices, and
1.1.1.3 Non-academic offices?
2. How frequent is IT utilization in these offices as component of IT ?
3. How competent are the faculty and staff in information technology
utilization?
4. What technical support is given by the HEI’s to manage the services
demanded by faculty and students:
4.1 Provisions of training and seminar
4.2 Systems Engineering
4.3 Systems integration and support
3. 4.4 Web development, and
4.5 Maintenance?
5. What problems are encountered in the management of IT?
6. What are the implications of the study to the Educational Management?
The study used a descriptive-evaluative research method. The purpose of
the descriptive research is to describe systematically the management of
information technology with respect to the status of information technology
facilities and frequency of utilization, the competence of the personnel and
faculty in the utilization of IT and the problems encountered in management of
IT among Comprehensive Higher Educational Institutions in Region III was
identified to provide implications of the study. The evaluation aspects pertained
to the analysis by the respondents to determine the strength and weaknesses from
the results of utilization weaknesses were included and identified among the
problems.
A set of questionnaire was administered to the respondents. Respondents
were: IT/MIS personnel, administrative personnel and faculty personnel.
Administrative consisted of the registrar, admission officer, and research and
extension officer, accounting officer and library personnel that are often utilizing
technology in performing their tasks. The faculty personnel were composed of
faculty staff under the College of Information Technology, Computer Science,
Business Administration, Education and Engineering that integrates technology
in their classroom task to enhance learning.
4. The population of the study consisted of the comprehensive higher
educational institutions in REGION III namely: Baliuag University-Baliuag,
Bulacan, Bulacan State University- Malolos City, Central Luzon State
University, Muñoz, Nueva Ecija, Holy Angel University-Angeles City, Tarlac
State University-Tarlac City, and Wesleyan University-Cabanatuan City. Out of
8, only 6 agreed to take part of the study.
The research instruments were two sets of questionnaire that were
administered to the respondents. The questions were b ased on management of IT
pattern through “An Educators Guide in Evaluating Technology in Schools and
Classroom” by Holcomb (2002). One set was answered by IT/MIS personnel
concerned to described the IT utilization and identify the technical support
provided by the management to meet the services needed by the students. The
second set of questionnaire was distributed to the academic and non -academic
personnel to determine their competency and frequency of utilization of
technology in performing their daily tasks in rendering services to the clients.
The questionnaires were presented to the experts for content validation.
Comments, suggestions, and recommendations of the evaluators were considered
for their revision.
To determine the information technology facilities in the administrative
offices and classroom instruction the different technologies were checked for
their availability.
To evaluate the degree or frequency of utilization the respondents rated
the IT utilization in terms of daily, when needed and never.
5. To evaluate competence of the faculty and staff on their IT skills level,
eight areas of competence were given for checking (computer hardware,
computer software, computer with internet connection, printer, fax machine,
scanner, liquid crystal display, and database server) this asks their ability to task
on storing, retrieving, transmitting information, and proficiency in the use of
technology tools to create and distribute new knowledge.
To determine the problems encountered in the managem ent of IT and
evaluate the different types of technical support by the management of
Comprehensive HEI’s in IT utilization, the IT/MIS personnel were to identify the
kind of technical support and problems among the key areas for the improvement
of the services needed by the students and faculty.
This study found that:
1. IT facilities in Administrative offices in HEI’s R-III were equipped with
quantity which corresponds to the needs of the service. This is to complement
the demands of the students and to comply with the requirements of the
Commission on Higher Education to integrate technology not only for
instructional purposes but also in the administrative offices.
2. The status of IT facilities in Academic offices of HEI’s R -III was good with a
good number of units.
3. The status of IT facilities in Non-academic offices of HEIs R-III was low.
There were some which started the computerization of their processes (3 out
of 6) particularly in Property, Business centers, and Information offices.
4. Administrative and Academic staff utilized word processing and the internet
6. access because the computer applications were frequently used. This is
because these applications need fewer skills and they are used in preparation
of reports and for other office documents.
5. IT facilities such as fax machines, scanners, and LCD projectors were never
utilized by the IT users because of their minimal utilities in offices although
they are available.
6. Administrative and most of the Academic staffs, with the exclusion of ICT
faculty members, never utilized the advanced technologies. They were more
at home with basic facilities like computers and printers.
7. HEI’s staff and academic faculty members are becoming aware of the need to
be technology literate since most of them utilized IT facil ities.
8. The biggest problem in IT management is on the cost of upgrading the
facilities because of the fast phase in the growth of technology and each
upgrading would cost big amount of budget. Management of IT facilities also
entails cost and this cost is spelled out by thousand of pesos.
This study recommends the following:
1. The Comprehensive Higher Educational Institutions in Region III
should bank on the growing utilization of IT facilities to implement
intensively the maximum utilization of all IT facilities in the campus
and promote the utilization more on advanced technologies.
2. The Management of Comprehensive Higher Educational Institutions in
Region III should be prepared to allocate funding for their IT facilities
7. upgrading because of the fast trend in IT upgrading. Because of this,
proper maintenance of the facilities is necessary.
3. Since the movement is toward higher technologies, the investment on
IT, though costly should be a welcome improvement by the school.
4. There should be more orientation on the processes involved to utilize
other technologies such as fax machines, scanners, LCD projectors and
others; more trainings on the use of other computer applications such
as spreadsheets, and data-based applications, among others. Without
the training, the community would not realize that some computer
applications may facilitate measurement and evaluation of student
outcomes and research.
5. Institutions should go into the adoption of school-wide automation,
and networking offices to facilitate service and expedite data or
information retrieval and otherwise improvement of service
6. Important but less used computer application of advanced technology
is tele-conferencing. With the fast movement of officials and the scope
of their work, tele-conferencing is a promising technology that would
help address the need for meeting personally.
7. With the number of people who are competent in dealing with technology
facilities, HEI's should be assured of experts that would help the
administration maintain it’s expensive but advanced technology equipment.
8. Similar studies on the information technology should be conducted on the
maintenance of the facilities because of cost of the acquisition of IT facilities.
