Present a potential research topic that would be useful in
providing a solution to an educational issue (should be relevant to IT):
I am particular interested in “Technology Integration” as I
was engineering student.
I want to focus on “knowledge representation” and “Human
computer interaction”.
I think this kind of research is “one suit fit all” for many
subjects by using multi-media. For example, using “prezi”, “mind map” these
kinds of web applications and iPhone applications can help on presenting idea
for many subjects.
In the first place, online web applications with multi-media
just help people access the information easily and in a cosy way. Learners have
more “dimensions” on receiving information and have more “interaction” with the
learning material- the software.
Simple and intuitive design of software - it just enhances
the learning-experience with less difficulty. Software is not just about
functions it provide but also the User interface design which make user feel
easy to adopt to it. It must save a lot of time for teacher and student to pick
up the technical skill. For the current user-interface design, there is a lot
more space to improve
Virtual social network –in web 2.0, it is not just
interactions between human-to-computers but also human-to-human interaction
through the computers. It just pulls closed between people by getting ride of
distance and time. Like “prezi” , “google doc” with the support of “cloud
computing”, we can share the presentation with teammates in quick easily. “Cloud
computing” is just the most hottest topic in computer science world today.

Hi Ted,
ReplyDeleteI quite agree with you about the “one suit fit all” for many subjects by using multi-media. Sometimes teachers are just as followers to do as what other teachers do to teach students by using some multi-media (e.g. powerpoint, PDF, online discussion).
But, my question is some of them may lack of a target or objective: why do we need to this, and by doing this what target can we achieve? Do you think so?
