    A Curriculum on Sustainable Information Communication Technology
    (Politechnika Lubelska, 2015) Ozkan, Baris; Mishra, Alok; Information Systems Engineering; Software Engineering
    Economies are increasingly becoming dependent on Information Communication Technology (ICT) and concerns over sustainability have called for the investigation of the relation between sustainability and ICT. While the majority of the studies in this field have an environmentalist focus in this regard, technical, economical and societal concerns on sustainability have arisen in the last decade. Today, more and more studies are addressing the need for the inclusion of sustainability as a design goal for ICT development and for the systems that rely on ICT. Therefore, the integration of education on sustainability in the curriculum is imperative for current and future generations of professionals to accomplish this goal. In this paper, we propose a curriculum for sustainable ICT along with the expected learning outcomes and components. The course design is based on a multi-faceted approach that embraces different viewpoints on sustainability and aims to increase students' awareness of the complex nature of sustainability.

    Use of Ict Tools and Their Effect on Teaching and Learning; Students' and Instructor's Views
    (Iated-int Assoc Technology Education & development, 2016) Cigdemoglu, Ceyhan; Akay, Hasan U.
    This study aims to reveal how instructors use ICT tools in their courses and determine what ICT tools they utilize as well as assessing the contribution of ICT to learning and teaching from both students' and instructors' perspectives. As a qualitative case study research, semi-structured interviews with instructors and focus group interviews with students were conducted. Both students' and instructors' responses indicated that there is a common belief that when these tools are employed, students' success will increase. Students verified that the use of educational technologies makes them to feel more successful. Instructors stated that such tools create more organized learning and alert instructor to search for best tools for students, and let course materials accessible whenever students need. Instructors stated that although there are number of factors impeding the whole utilization of ICT tools, they agree that traditional teaching is old fashioned and ineffective in these days. Based on the responses obtained, we can state that instructors lack in explaining and evaluating carefully the impact of ICT tools that may enhance or support students' in-depth learning. Their statements are generally anecdotal rather than data driven. Also, lack of motivation among faculty members due to time restrictions was perceived as obstacle to adopting ICT fully.
