Choose a case study (a scenario). It can be any type of ICT system or piece of
software
The ICT System is all about the combination of the software, hardware,
data as well as the people who tend to use this system. Mostly it includes the
communication related technology i.e., the internet. If we make the comparison
of the ICT as well as the computer then it can be said that both the computer
& the ICT are different. If we talk about the computer systems then they
are the hardware and are the party of the Information and Communication
Technology. This is the reason which put emphasis on having the know how about
the computer systems along with the considerations of the circumstances and the
situations for making use of the computer systems. The reason why the ICT
systems are of much significance is purely based on their dependency on the
computer systems and the communication being made by these systems. The most
remarkable thing about these systems is to provide us with the ease to do
something which is intended to do by making use of these systems. Below is
given the lit of the areas where the ICT systems can better be used:
·
Ships
·
Offices
·
Aircraft
·
Factories
·
Shops
·
Education
·
Medicine
·
Farming
·
Communication sector
For the
normal routine, the ICT systems are important because they provide us with the
powers to do what we desire to do. The ICT systems are important because they tend to increase the
productivity. The added features include the completion of a task at less cost
and the similar time span. The processing of vast amounts of the data is
possible with the help of ICT systems. This is done efficiently as well as
quickly. The transmission and the receiving of the data and the information is
possible with the help of ICT systems (Bbc, 2019).
The case study being
selected for the current work is “A Case Study: Embedding ICT for
Effective Classroom Teaching & Learning”. It is about embedding the ICT (Information and
Communication Technology) to the teaching as well as the learning.
Summary of Project Management
and Methodology
ICT (Information and Communication Technology)
has nearness in most of the segments thus as in teaching as well. Students,
Researchers and the Administrators of instruction domain are flourishing for
imaginative training educating method to develop the teaching practice viable.
In this paper the utilization of current patterns in ICT, for example, BYOD,
LMS and learning through Cloud Computing have been examined. Likewise the
reactions of educators and students, on the grounds, through online overview
have been condensed. Investigation shows the noteworthy improvement in class
support and assessment aftereffect of the students.
In
the present innovative field customary "Chalk and Talk" encouraging
instructional method is either totally supplanted with intelligent e-learning
devices/programming's or it is utilized in reconciliation with ICT empowered
apparatuses/assets. ICT has contacted practically all individuals and in all
areas everywhere and training is no special case in that. Analysts and Teachers
are attempting to discover the ways since decade to make the educating learning
intuitive, powerful and fascinating. Utilization of ICT now daily is regular
among the students and instructors. Henceforth viable utilization of e-learning
apparatuses is likewise normal while educating and learning. For successful
correspondence with the learners, University/Institutes utilizes the different
correspondence innovations, for example, SMS, email, Portal and thus
utilization of shrewd gadgets, for example, Smart telephone, tablets and
workstations immediately become pervasive among understudies.
According
to the researcher, the students are a piece of large lump of the heaviest
client of innovation. Discoveries of this exploration show that inserting ICT
into study domain will urge the students to learn through shrewd gadgets. Just
challenge is to give the satiate of-the-workmanship Infrastructure which
transforms the conventional study hall into brilliant homeroom. Dominant part
of the colleges/foundations has the homerooms outfitted with sound and visual
assets alongside web network (Mehta, 2015).
Problems and their sustainable
solutions
ICT enables students to screen and deal
with their own learning, think fundamentally and inventively, tackle recreated
genuine issues, work cooperatively, take part in moral basic leadership, and
receive a worldwide viewpoint towards issues and thoughts. It additionally
gives students, from remote zones, access to skilled professionals and learning
assets, and gives executives as well as the decision-makers the information
& skill they have to work more effectively and quickly. Another test is
equity, including money related, sexual orientation, and racial decency in
access to training.
Productivity and responsibility
additionally should be improved. This incorporates improving teacher-student
proportions just as maintenance and dropout ratio. The training gave likewise
should be pertinent to financial conditions, for example, coordinating aptitudes
delivered to those esteemed by the worldwide market. By taking into
consideration the above said parameters, the sustainable solutions for the said
problems can better be provided by the ICT systems (ictedupolicy, 2019) and (Ghavifekr, 2019).
The context and benefits of the
system of
Project Management and Methodology
In
this modern era of IT, almost all the things are equipped with the latest and
the advanced technology. So as is the case with the classrooms and the teaching
methods. The students as well as the teachers are making use of the latest and
the advanced techniques for learning purposes. Through the integration of the
advanced teaching and the learning techniques in the classrooms both the
students and the teachers can get themselves benefited. The use of the ICT
systems in the classrooms has the benefits as given:
·
Improves
commitment of Project Management and Methodology
At the point when innovation is incorporated into learning, students are
required to be increasingly keen regarding the matters they are contemplating.
Innovation gives various chances to make adapting increasingly fun and
agreeable regarding showing same things in new manners. For example, conveying
instructing through gamification, taking learners on virtual field excursions
and utilizing other web based learning assets. In addition, innovation can
support a progressively dynamic investment in the learning procedure which can
be difficult to accomplish through a conventional teaching environment.
·
Improves
information maintenance of Project Management and Methodology
The learners who are engaged & keen on things they are considering
are relied upon to have improved information maintenance. As referenced
previously, innovation can support dynamic investment in the homeroom which
additionally is a significant factor for expanded information maintenance.
Various types of innovation can be utilized to try different things with and
choose what works best for the learners as far as holding their insight.
·
Advantages
for teachers of Project Management
and Methodology
With incalculable online assets, innovation can help improve educating.
Educators can utilize distinctive applications or confided in online assets to
improve the customary methods for instructing and to keep understudies
increasingly locked in. Virtual exercise plans, evaluating programming and online
appraisals can assist instructors with sparing a ton time. This significant
time can be utilized for working with students who are battling. Furthermore,
having virtual learning situations in educational institutes improves joint
effort and information sharing between educators (adb, 2019) and (webanywhere, 2019).
Choose a suitable set of criteria (framework)
for the evaluation of development methods - a set of criteria for your
analysis/evaluation that should help you with your analysis and for choosing
the most suitable method for your scenario.
A
wide range of data frameworks advancement (ISD) approaches exist. It is obvious
that extensive consideration of experts and scientists has been committed to
the improvement of ISD philosophies. Nonetheless, the assessment of existing
ISD approaches isn't keeping the pace with the fast development of ISD systems.
The deficiency of research on ISD procedures assessment has basic implications.
By neglecting to assess at present utilized ISD systems, associations may not
precisely understand the convenience and viability of the ISD philosophies.
What's more, the absence of ISD philosophies assessment restrains specialists
and scientists to value the qualities and shortcomings of different techniques,
which are basic information for structuring progressively compelling and
helpful systems. In this way, assessing ISD philosophies is a basic assignment
for the two specialists and scientists, and warrants more research. Building up
a lot of commonly satisfactory criteria is one of the initial steps to building
up an orderly procedure to assess ISD systems. The goal of our investigation is
to recognize a lot of commonly worthy criteria for assessing ISD approaches (Tan, 2005).
The
existing ISD methodologies are about pre-methodology, early-methodology,
methodology and Post- methodology. They are basically about the advancements to
the existing ISD methodologies. The most recent is about making use of the
already existing ISD methodologies. So, as is the case with the current work,
the ISD methodology chosen for the current work is based on the existing ISD
methodologies. By making use of these ISD methodologies, the Information Systems Development Methods
can better be used.
Comparative analysis
Comparison
of the advantages and disadvantages of three different Information Systems Development
Methods (ISDM or ISD methods) for the chosen case study
The
development life cycle of the software is being discussed in this part. The
project is all about the development of the ICT system for the educational
institutes. The flow of the software, the modules as well s the sub-modules
suggest to consider SDLC (Software Development Lifecycle) in order to achieve
the said purpose. This framework will better assist the directions of the
current software (ukessays, 2019).
It
can be said that SDLC needs to be followed brutally. It is a step-by-step
procedure in order to support the development of the software. It is also
termed as the software development process as it better helps to direct all the
project-related processes. Every phase of the SDLC is further sub-categorized
into certain steps. The more accurately this flow is followed, the more
effective is the completion of the software (airbrake, 2019). The entire SDLC process is classified
into the phases as given:
·
Planning:
This phase is related to the plans related to the management of the entire
project. It help in the planning for the allocation of the resources, planning
for the capacity, decision-making for the project schedule, estimates related
to the costs and provisioning etc. It
tends to provide with the project plans, project schedules, cost estimates as
well as the procurement requirements.
·
Requirement
Analysis: For the purposes of software development, the analysis of the
requirements is performed in this phase.
·
Design
and prototyping: In this phase, work on the design and the architecture of the
software is started. For the development of the software, the established
patterns are better used in this phase.
·
Software
Development: This phase provides with the developed software. This method can
either be carried out as agile methodology or as the single block-of-effort
(i.e., waterfall). It tries to provide with the software in the working form as
soon as possible. The testable, functional software is the output of the said
phase.
·
Testing:
It is considered to the most significant phase of SDLC. Without testing, it is
not possible to deliver quality software. The quality of the software is
measured by considering as given: quality of the code, unit testing,
integration testing, testing for checking the performance and the security
testing.
·
Deployment:
It is perceived to be a highly automated phase. The moment when the software is
ready it is then deployed.
·
Maintenance:
In order to ensure the proper operations of the software, the software is
monitored constantly. Bugs and defects discovered in Production must be
reported and responded to, which often feeds work back into the process (softwaretestinghelp, 2019).
SDLC is of different types. The
most relevant SDLC models for the said project work are as given:

the best ISD
method to adopt and why.
Basics for the selected Chosen SDLC along with the evaluation
Initially, it was
assumed that the water model for the SDLC is ideal for the said project. It was
perceived because of the simplicity of the said model. But the current project
comprises of varying phases and the differing functionality. The use of the
incremental SDLC model is better suggested for the said software. It can be
either the agile model or the iterative incremental model. The final decision
was made to go forward by choosing the iterative incremental model. This model
is more suggested as it helps to document the software requirements along with
the modules and sub-modules more than the agile model. Based on this model, it
was possible to produce the partially functioning software at the completion of
each iteration.
The rapid development
of the functionality is possible with the use of iterative incremental model.
The current ICT system comprises of different modules and the sub-modules which
need to be implemented and tested upon development. One of the significant
reasons for the choice of this software development model is the support for
the use of the latest and the advanced technologies. The other reasons include
as given:
●
It more focuses on
producing the imperative functionality early.
●
More suggested for
the long-term projects.
●
For every
increment to the model, it is better able to be used productively.
●
It is easy to make
changes to the requirements.
●
It believes in the
faster delivery of the product.
●
It best suits the
projects with the new and the latest technologies.
By making use of the above suggested
model, it is possible to equip the education institutes with the latest and the
advanced innovative systems. The more these parameters are followed the more it
will be possible to provide the students and the teachers with the latest and
the advanced techniques for the learning purposes.
