Experience in Implementing Personal Support for Teachers Using in House Software | Chapter 6 | Contemporary Perspective on Science, Technology and Research Vol. 1

 The actions of a university teacher are intensely rich and varied, so skilled are no general-purpose software output or IT (Information Electronics) solutions that specifically devote effort to something the person of the scholar. The typical teacher lectures, create assessments, publishes, cooperates on research, performs knowledge administration, creates educational content, and acts a plethora of added related activities, containing self-study in his extent of expertise. All these activities of a lecturer have one joint element: working accompanying educational content or knowledge. The authors address the mathematical transformation of instruction as an interdisciplinary problem accompanying a focus on the simultaneity of pedagogical and IT activities. The base of the research approach is that educational processes are established educational knowledge, so they maybe automated (technically, information is a parameter of educational processes). As indiscriminate their long-term research, the authors have developed the WPad instructional software, that uses so-called virtual information. This virtual information takes the form of a simple database table, and an individual (assistant, researcher, junior) can fill this table with educational content in human language. This software was initially used to teaching in the hall and creating e-learning content for undergraduates. It has evenly spread to academic research (for example, computer-assisted cooperative learning, information management, learning science of logical analysis). This article details the multipurpose use of WPad as an all-in-one education tool on a combined offline and connected to the internet IT infrastructure utilizing examples from teaching and research. Further happening will be focused on the bulk creation of educational whole and multilingual support within the foundation of international cooperation (a new instructional porta is planed).
