“…Academic processes have been intensively based on technology; it shifts how students-lecturer interact in the classroom using ubiquitous computing devices [2], monitoring students' academic progress using big data and data warehouse [3]. Such intense is 498 not only done in western countries [4], but also in developing ones such as Saudi Arabia [5] and Thailand [6], and also in Indonesia [7]. One research conducted in Kepulauan Riau, Indonesia, showed that students are getting more engaged in lecture activities and will finally give a satisfactory appraisal of the competitive advantage for that private university.…”

“…Back then, the investment and implementation rate in the lesser PTSs just cannot catch up with the technological advancement rate [11]. Even when, nowadays, more and more PTSs are trying to transform into digital entities [12], the next problem will come integration and flexibility [6]. Modular IT implementation will inevitably lead to disintegration and inflexibility, and it will become a chaotic environment when more systems are implemented [13].…”

<p>Information technology (IT) has been widely adopted and is believed to improve academic processes’ efficiency and run private universities’ academic functions (PTSs) in Indonesia. Nonetheless, adopting diverse technologies for them will also create many challenges. PTSs are struggling to survive in terms of technological implementation, in the sense that the investment and implementation rate in the PTSs just cannot catch up with the technological advancement rate. Even when more PTSs are trying to transform into digital entities, the next problem will be system integration and flexibility. This study aims to overcome this problem by implementing a framework that can be both integrated and flexible while also serving the efficiency of investments. Many studies already suggested that Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and cloud technology are the solutions.</p>Nevertheless, none has been able to define what standard services can be applied within those platforms. To determine this, we use the BIAN service landscape, which was translated from the banking industry, offering a comprehensive view of the business domain and business capabilities alongside its service functions. While BIAN offers common services throughout the same platform, we modify the framework using the OASIS model from SOA, which allows the framework to be flexible in complying with many platforms of databases, programming languages, and network infrastructures. We completed our study by defining one business area: academic processes, three business domains, 19 business capabilities, and 84 service functions. We are strongly confident that our findings and study results will act as a reference in creating a cloud-based platform for Indonesia’s higher education academic systems.

“…Another factor that hampers the ICT Policy implementation is the inadequate funding of ICT initiatives and the high cost of ICTs, which affects the effective use of ICTs in teaching and learning (Achimugu et al, 2010;Martinovic & Zhang, 2012;Oni & Uko, 2016;Tongkaw, 2013). The university budgets in developing countries are insufficient for the ICT procurement (Kozma, 2011;UNESCO, 2011).…”

The purpose of this evaluation study was to determine the extent to which the teacher educators in the Faculty of Education at the University of Namibia implemented the national Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Policy for Education. This study employed both the quantitative method in the form of questionnaires and the qualitative method in the form of interviews and classroom observations. From the 100 participants surveyed, there were 73 respondents indicating a 73 per cent response rate to the questionnaire. The data were analysed by using the Likert Scale, Pearson-Product Moment Correlation Coefficient, Eigenvalue: Factor Analysis and Eigenvalue: Cluster. A purposive sampling was then conducted on the teacher educators at University of Namibia campus who were tasked to teach with ICTs. These teacher educators were interviewed and classroom observations were conducted. The findings of the study indicated that the participants had a good understanding of the national

“…It is now thought that ICT plays a vital role in the future of education in the UK and throughout the world (Tongkaw, 2013) and is an important catalyst and tool for inducing educational reforms that change our students into productive handlers of knowledge (Eynon, 2005). From qualitative (Fullan and Stiegelbauer, 1991) studies it has been often argued that staff development is a very crucial factor in the process of adopting and implementing ICTs in education.…”

Social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter are examples of information communication technologies (ICTs) that have been widely adopted by students, and could potentially be useful as a resource for teaching and learning in further and higher educational institutions. Facebook tops the charts in social networking space, but when it comes to social messaging on mobiles WhatsApp walks away as the winner (Spohr, 2013). Facebook have recently purchased the popular social mobile app (Tech2, 2013). However, the use of social media has brought about numerous logistical issues and ethical issues relating to interactions with students. For example, the use of some tools in educational institutions is rather informal raising problems of accessibility and inclusion. Based on this phenomenon, we will conduct research to explore the usage of social networking sites and mobile social apps within further and higher education. We will use the survey method to ask students and staff their views on the use of this technology for learning and communication purposes. In this way we hope to compare the views of students in higher education on courses in Music Business and Psychology. While self-report methods are inherently subjective, we believe it is important to explore how both staff and students both use and view different features of these technological tools. Using focus groups, we hope to identify the main themes concerning the use of educational technology for staff and student groups. A larger sample will be obtained using a questionnaire to garner opinions on the main concerns raised. Analysing this data may help in providing recommendations for educational institutions, keeping in mind the important logistical and ethical issues some are unaware of.
