- MEDIAEC platform's perspective during 2009-2012
- Project MediaEc is included in the coordinates of program-framework The National Plan Research - Development - Innovation (RDI) for the period 2007-2013. Starting from the reality that higher education institutions face many challenges, but also with the responsibility of research phenomena generated by the new information technologies - NTI. The Internet and the new technologies have opened the innovative way for research and learning through interdisciplinary collaboration, national and international. New trends are heading towards creating a Network Environment for Learning - Development in the form of IntraNet in campus / community, and not only online offers. Interdisciplinary research of forms, strategies and techniques to use the new resources of development-training-capitalization as well as effects of new technologies become priorities of psychology, political science and communication, the business environment and the economy of knowledge - understood as information management by the expert and appraiser person.
- Development objectives of the platform are:
- Develop an platform internal support, to use and integration of new technologies in software for development and innovation
- Research of strategies for multiple use and efficiency of the message in its various forms
- Study of the effects, immediate and medium or long duration, of the NTI in process of learning-development, individual-group, micro-macro, national-international
- Transforming the natural and cultural environment in source of training with the support of software Management System Virtual Blackboard
- Organization of doctorate and masters - realised, in interdisciplinary way, in e-learning system
- Functions of the platform:
- will combine existing computer services with media applications
- promote and support the use of NTI in research-teaching-learning-innovation-development process
- we provide training services in using NTI for academic and social policy environment
- will provide support for flexible systems to conform NTI with the needs of e-government and e-democracy
- will develop research networks in partnership with specialized institutions from the country and abroad on issues of european and international concern
- will use the Instructional Research Design for the integration of new technology in the national and european curriculum: design, implementation, selection, evaluation
- The platform is in line with the University's strategy of development in interdisciplinary research activities, online and in real time. The platform favors, also, achieving online activity's objectives with students, MB and PhD.
- The presence of Blackboard Academic Suite system and room's network for videoconference warrant the steady progress for inter-university's activities at the national, european and international level.
- Other financial resources / materials for the organization and development of the platform are provided by:
- Research activities of other platforms and programs of the university - through user fees;
- Own research programs - under the existing plan.
- Access to the system can be made in a secure way through unique username and password. Default defined user roles are: administrator, teacher, student. Depending on role's nature, the rights for access to resources and tools are different, the security rules have a high level in Blackboard.
- An important component of an administrative point of view, is the possibility of import data about courses or users within a database that already exist (in our case you can use data from the Gesco).
- For betterment of MEDIAEC Platform, was developed a strategic program in concert with the Statutes of Operation of the Platform and Statutes of Operation of the laboratories, with research topics, with the possibility of identifying other sources of funding through national and international grants, and through research contracts with third parties. The program for platform development make analysis on:
- Providing an exclusive program of manifestation and realization of science potential of teachers, PhD, master student and student - in line with University strategy
- Encouraging links between interdisciplinary research teams of the 'Al. I. Cuza' University of Iasi and between them and other inter-university collectives
- Using new technology platform in the development of distance education for university licensing, master and doctorate
- All laboratories functioning under the Statutes of Operation of the Platform and Statutes of Operation of the laboratories, according to the University Charter, the laws in force and professional ethics
- Establishing thematic networks between schools and education institutions from countries in Eastern Europe (Romania, Bulgaria, Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Lithuania, Estonia) towards to facilitate research partnerships, exchanges of teachers and students, publications, etc.
- Providing access to all Platform members (teachers, researchers, doctoral candidates, students) in the development of interdisciplinary research with rigging equipment
- Providing access to other members of the University or other universities in the country (teachers, researchers, doctoral candidates, master student, student) to accomplish the interdisciplinary research with rigging equipment, within the possibilities offered by research realised already by the members of the Platform
- Upgrading a permanent website of the Platform
- Attract new sources of funding through grants CNCSIS of the members of the laboratories, through international grants of the members, either as performers or as partners, through research contracts with third parties
