AN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND EDUCATION PROGRAMME
WHAT IS IT?
The Programme is based at the University of Lancaster, UK.
It's brief includes activities such as:
- the review, evaluation and dissemination of recent and
current activity in the field of IT and Education;
- the identification of the needs of education in relation
to IT;
- the stimulation of relevant research and the formulation
of research guidelines;
- the establishment and maintenance of a database of
relevant work and the coordination and networking of
those active in the field, including cognitive
scientists, educational researchers, practitioners and
policy makers.
To service these commitments The Programme regularly
produces booklets (normally between 20 and 40 pages) as
seminar reports or reviews of current research. Most of
these booklets are freely available to those working in IT
and Education. A selection of titles is given below.
The Programme also maintains a database of (about 300)
PEOPLE who are actively engaged in using or developing IT
applications in Education. The database retains not only
individuals' various 'electronic addresses', but also their
telephone number and postal address. (It is a good idea to
*establish* communication by a method more universal than
Email, such as post or telephone). Other details held
include REFERENCES to recent publications, an ABSTRACT of
current interests and a PROFILE consisting of keywords
defining peoples' areas of interest. The Programme is
happy to interrogate the database and send results to
anyone not able to contact the system themselves.
This is the structure of the database showing field names:
(Record sizes vary - most are between 1200 and 1600 chars).
