Dissemination &
sustainability
The main objective of this project for new computer
studies curricula is twofold in directions to improve
management and business education of future IT graduates and
to establish new technology driven basics to produce IT
products in e-Business, mobile and wireless world. For this
purpose in this project we introduce new courses for
undergraduate and graduate studies, new teaching environment
based on practice laboratory exercises and interactive
response system. In order to make the outputs of the project
available to those who are not directly involved in the
project we plan several dissemination actions for general
target public. These will be achieved by printing
information brochures, flyers, posters, web publishing and
multimedia CD production. New courses will meet the ECTS and
Bologna declaration motivating the Universities to adopt all
the other courses.
Dissemination will take also part with presentation seminars
organized for other faculties at the universities in Partner
country, for both teachers and students for project
objectives, and for general public. There will be three
types of presentations: 1) for benefits of CS with new
improved curricula for potential students and SMEs; 2) for
new teaching methods with IRS (Interactive response system)
and 3) for new teaching environment and labs.
SUSTAINABILITY
The outcomes from this project at universities will have
durable character (new courses, new teaching environment,
new teaching methods and materials: computer laboratories
for student exercises, Web page presentations, textbooks,
manuals and Interactive Response System).
There are several reasons for sustainability and why they
will last after the end of Tempus financing:
1) University will continue to implement the proposed
curricula;
2) Both the students and teachers will feel comfortable
with the new teaching environment;
3) SMEs will appreciate graduated students with qualified
skills;
4) The students will adopt the proposed knowledge in
management and business to produce quality products;
5) University will continue to maintain the labs and new
teaching environment;
6) The teachers will be glad to implement new teaching
environment with interactive response system.
After the termination of this JEP the involved
Universities will be well prepared for other multinational
programs with strategic goal to achieve the level of
education in EU countries. The Center for new technologies
will continue to work with wireless and web e-Business lab,
offering courses and services from project topics to other
interested students, institutions and SMEs. These activities
have support from the declaration brought by the Parliament
as a form of national strategy. The committee “e-Macedonia
for all” as advisor body to the president of the republic
also supports the project objectivities. The project
objectivities also make further possibilities for Socrates
and other EU programmes such as EU FP6 Networks of
excellence. |
