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.

  1. Hi Ted,

    I 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?
