One of the most important elements of educational change is implementation of innovation. Innovation in education may be either created inside a country or adopted as foreign experience by the means of different international programmes, projects, individuals, and etc. There are a lot of problematic questions in relation to the implementation of external (those of foreign countries) innovation. The article analyses the case of the implementation of the ‘Step by Step' programme, as well as evaluates the innovation, implemented along with created programme in Microsoft Access Database of Information System of Teachers and Accounting in Secondary School.

In this work, the Internet Information System is created for the Artists‘ Association. It was planned to meet the specific needs of the Artists who wanted to let the people know about themselves and their works, and finally sell them. It also meets the needs of every Internet user who might be interested in information about the popular or perspective artists and who might purchase their works. The system was developed on the basis of .NET technologies: ADO.NET, ASP.NET and programmed with Visual C#. The data of the information system are stored in MS SQL Server 2000. Finally the information system was implemented and thoroughly tested. It meets all the functional and non-functional requirements of end users: the Administrator, the Artist, the Registered User and Internet User. The system is safe, fast, and comfortable to use, has good look, and may be extended in future when the needs of its users would grow.

Data flow and computing resourses in large scale LED screens calculation and analysis is presented. It has been proved that due to specifics of LED screen control large data flows are born which for a reduction. Also, there is a demand for LED screen control hardware price reduction. By application of distributed computing by means of screen processors implementation in comes possible to reduce the data flow load on main processing unit. Thanks to this personal computer can be implemented for screen control as main processing unit. Due to above mentioned modifications PC becomes responsible only for data format unification. Main data processing is implemented in distributed network of screen processors. This further allows to use standard ethernet transmission and distribution equipment, leaving space for system future development.

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to observe how undergraduate students approach open-ended searching for a research assignment, specifically as it affected their use of the discovery interface Primo. Design/methodology/approach - In total, 30 undergraduate students were provided with a sample research assignment and instructed to find resources for it using web tools of their choice, followed by the Primo discovery tool. Students were observed for 30 minutes. A survey was provided at the end to solicit additional feedback. Sources students found were evaluated for relevance and utility. Findings - Students expressed a high level of satisfaction with Primo despite some difficulty navigating through more complicated tasks. Despite their interest in the tool and previous exposure to it, it was usually not the first discovery tool students used when given the research assignment. Students approached the open-ended search environment much like they would with a commercial search engine. Originality/value - This paper focused on an open-ended search environment as opposed to a known- item scenario in order to assess students' preferences for web search tools and how a library discovery layer such as Primo was a part of that situation. Evaluation of the resources students found relevant were also analyzed to determine to what degree the students understood the level of quality they exhibited and from which tool they were obtained.

L’objectif de cette thèse consiste à contribuer à l’analyse de l’impact des Technologies del’Information (TI) sur les performances des salariés sur le marché du travail. Notre travail évalue lesimpacts de l’acquisition des compétences numériques (e-compétences) sur les performances dessalariés afin de définir les stratégies les plus adéquates à mettre en oeuvre par les décideurs publics etle management des entreprises. Pour ce faire, notre approche a consisté à identifier deux modalitéscomplémentaires d’acquisition des e-compétences requises sur le marché du travail : d’une part, lesformations sur le lieu du travail (lifelong learning) que nous qualifierons de stratégies à court termed’acquisition de e-compétences, et d’autre part, les formations durant la période d’apprentissagescolaire et notamment universitaire que nous qualifierons de stratégies à long terme. Dès lors, deuxinvestigations complémentaires ont été élaborées respectant ce découpage. La première a contribué àfournir des résultats originaux concernant les stratégies à court terme. Nous avons démontré dans lecontexte français et européen les apports des e-compétences dans l’amélioration de la performancecontextuelle des salariés. La seconde investigation, relative aux stratégies à long terme, a mis l'accentsur les modalités d’acquisition des e-compétences par les étudiants en France et leurs apportsadditionnels en termes de performances académiques.Nos résultats mettent donc en évidence l’importance d’instaurer unsystème éducatif basé sur un apprentissage collaboratif et participatif où la connaissance est coconstruiteavec l’étudiant et non pas uniquement délivrée par l’enseignant. / This thesis is devoted to analyzing the impact of Information Technologies (IT) on workers’performance in the labor market. It aims to measure the impacts of e-skills’ acquisition on workers’performance in order to discover the most suitable strategies to adopt by policy-makers and firms’management. In order to do this, the approach consists of two complementary layers of e-skills’acquisition needed in the labor market: On one hand, lifelong learning in the workplace qualified asshort-term strategies of e-skills’ acquisition. On the other hand, trainings acquired during schoollearning and mainly at university qualified as long-term strategies. Consequently, two complementaryinvestigations have been elaborated. The first one has contributed to provide original results regardingshort-term strategies. In the French and European context, the contributions of e-skills to animprovement in workers’ contextual performance have been shown. The second investigation, whichconcerns long-term strategies, focused on how students acquire e-skills in France and theircontribution to academic performance.Four chapters are the backbone of this work.The first chapter concerns the impact of IT use on workers’ contextual performance in Europe.Results show the positive impact of such use on workers’ contextual performance. Without e-skillsindicators, this use is confused with the ability to use IT.Recognizing the limitations of this approach, despite its wide coverage, a deeper analysis isprovided in the second chapter. The second chapter focuses on the role of e-skills on workers’contextual performance in the French context. On one hand, results show a positive effect of e-skills’level on workers’ contextual performance. On the other hand, they show differentiated impacts whenlooking into each component of contextual performance separately. These results do not challenge therole of e-skills in improving workers’ performance and particularly their contextual ones, but theystress the need to focus on the strategies to acquire and maintain the e-skills’ level needed for efficientuse of IT.The last two chapters are devoted to defining the strategies that facilitate e-skills’ acquisition.The third chapter allows the short-term strategies acquired within the firm to be identified.Results of this chapter show the positive impact of IT use and trainings on workers’ e-skills. Thus,short-term strategies focus on the need of IT access at work and at home, encouraging professionaland personal IT use, providing IT training for workers and encouraging them to try collaborative workin different tasks.The fourth chapter focuses on the long-term strategies of e-skills’ acquisition acquired atuniversity. The chapter reveals the primordial role of students’ involvement, the diversity of learningmethods and collaborative work on students’ (future workers) e-skills. Our results highlight theimportance of establishing an educational system based on collaborative learning where theknowledge is built with students and not just delivered by the teacher.

The model of occupational rehabilitation center‘s information system and its realization Recent politics and legislation of social integration to the society of disabled people in Lithuania is linked towards an understanding that disabled people are responsible for their lives and should be able to take care of themselves. That is the reason why only a need of manual rehabilitation is fairly enough to help people with various disabilities to come back to their active lives and to the labor market. To achieve these goals is only possible with the occupational rehabilitation which is also a great help of empowerment to develop common and special competences. In Lithuania new occupational rehabilitation centers are being established in order to solve problems of this kind. These rehabilitation centers are in great need of new information systems, which would computerize some of the center workers functions letting accomplish them faster and in better quality. With a help of information system it would be much easier to overlook and update the information, list the news, order center‘s services. The purpose of this thesis is to identify the needs of occupational rehabilitation center‘s workers and the disabled clients; using the evaluated data to construct a model of information system and to create such system‘s prototype. The conclusion of the thesis is that the needs of the system users were identified and creation of CMS was chosen. The CMS themselves, their types and main... [to full text]
