And-University and the University of the Society of the Information and the Knowledge The investments in education and, very particularly, in scientific and technological education, alprazolam and alcohol considered for high-priority decades like making the alprazolam and alcohol possible of a country. At the moment, the scientific transformations force reframings. The human capital alprazolam and alcohol also considered like an essential factor of the development in the short term. Still more, the investment in education is considered like a priority for all.
The stimulus the European Commission in its report eEurope 2002, a Society of the Information for all sample its intention of reform. As it raises Bel Llodrá, the main reason for the elaboration of this report is the necessity to carry out urgent activities to prepare itself for the new economy. At first, the qualified shortage of personnel did not consider in the report, but as much the Member States as the European Parliament asked for the thematic extension to incorporate this factor. A dedicated chapter was considered to invest in the people and the formation . According to the study, at the end of the 2001 all the schools of the European Community they will have access to Internet and resources multimedia. The raised challenges are: to provide to all the students access to Internet; to gradually connect the schools to the investigation networks; to create services of support and educative resources in Internet; to construct platforms of electronic learning for professors, students and parents; to offer incentives to those professors who use the digital technologies in education; and to equip to all the students of a digital culture for the moment at which they leave the school. For all this it is anticipated to use the originating financing of structural bottoms and Program IST (Information Society Technologies); the actors are the Member States and the European Commission.
The technologies purchase alprazolam information and communication (TIC), especially Internet and its increasing number of applications, are changing the learning processes. From the invention of the press, no innovation had exerted a so great purchase alprazolam on the education, and especially the education superior. One purchase alprazolam that the impacts of Internet are increased, and that the universities increase to increase their efforts to confront these challenges. Langlois (2003) raises that the traditional universities were limited concerning the space (owned a unique geographic location) and the time (the students were adolescent or purchase alprazolam between 18 and 27 years); but these limitations were not most important: the fundamental thing was that the gigantic mass of knowledge created and transmitted purchase alprazolam by the universities was collection only by a handful of local, originating students of the same city, region or country.
The development purchase alprazolam the TIC has made possible that the same future of the universities depends on alprazolam and alcohol capacity to adapt to the Society of the Information and Conocimiento (SIC) and to satisfy the more and more demanding needs with the professional universe, universal that is geographically dispersed and that includes varied strips etarias. For these reasons, as much the university authorities as educational, investigating and the same students need to use the technologies of the SIC. alprazolam and alcohol TIC is considered purchase alprazolam numerous institutions of education superior alprazolam and alcohol essential to reach to a ampler student population, disperses and varied, while the physical infrastructure alprazolam and alcohol are reduced. No longer the implementation of the virtual university , concept is a newness by which it is understood not only that the university offers its academic and administrative services through alprazolam and alcohol but as much the tasks of teaching as of investigation integrate of communications nets of data.
But the bonds between universities and SIC are not limited purchase alprazolam transmit knowledge by Internet. Langlois (2003) remembers purchase alprazolam the economic development is more than ever bound to the accumulation alprazolam and alcohol knowledge. Therefore, the demand of education and formation throughout all the life also are increasing, as much in the world developed as in the peripheral countries. In the European Union (European Commission/EUA, 2003), for example, the governments are paying a particular attention to the permanent formation, and destining more bottoms to alprazolam and alcohol and the investigation. The European Union is oriented to develop the economy of the most competitive knowledge of the world to a horizon of year 2010, according to the alprazolam and alcohol of Lisboa1
, and consequently it has begun programs and instruments to optimize his systems and policies of education and formation.
Sutz and Arocena (2002) raise: Perhaps the today science requires like never before alprazolam and alcohol technology: this last one, as well, is in a reciprocal situation with respect to science: The conventional technologies depend on purchase alprazolam science of the past year [ ] the end technologies depend on the discoveries of alprazolam and alcohol (Novozhilov, 1991:470, our translation) To put it another way, the science that is being done - to purchase alprazolam still understood nor formulated not well of precise way weighs increasingly on the modification of the excellent techniques the more; the purchase alprazolam of discovery and the context of application are grasped more and more .
Simultaneously, the necessity exists to form to the people in knowledge and specialized abilities of greater level and more. The global competition and the flexibility of the world of the work require an education that further on goes that to graduate in alprazolam mylan certain field of the knowledge and to obtain a use that decades ago hoped that it lasted alprazolam mylan all the active life. Practices are needed formation throughout the life to update the knowledge, as well as adapted opportunities of learning to the needs of each individual.
These tendencies exert impacts on the university activities. The institutions of education superior must become more flexible and to adopt new methods to adapt to the satisfaction of the new needs, essentially those of the adult students (who have less time to the actual learning because of their labor or familiar duties) that wish to update their knowledge, to purchase alprazolam a new race or postgraduate, or to extend its education without undergoing geographic limitations of schedules, places or incurring the purchase alprazolam of time and money that purchase alprazolam mean to settle in the city where it operates the university.
The number of these purchase alprazolam in some thirty is increased: a study of the National University of Quilmes reveals that the virtual students have in average 38 years of age, which explains that the conclusion of the previous studies enters superiors and the beginning of the studies in virtual surroundings passed approximately 10 years (Of the Beautiful one, 2001). The Census of Students 2004 of the Good University of Aires2 reveals that although 69.1% of the student population of degree level have up to 25 years of age, is clear that this distribution for the total of the student population of the University is influenced by the relative weight of the Common purchase alprazolam Cycle, where 52% of its population is smaller of 20 years. From the comparison of these statistics with those of Census 2000, it could conclude that there is a displacement process, in the student population of the University, towards categories of greater age. For example, the category up to 25 years is handicapped in almost 5 purchase alprazolam points in relation to the year 2000 .
In purchase alprazolam United States, according to Langlois (2003), almost half of alprazolam alprazolam mylan alcohol student population alprazolam mylan of mature students part-time. This new educative universe is taken very into account not only by purchase alprazolam but by international organizations: The Conference of purchase alprazolam on Education Superior of 1998 raised since the central task of the education present superior is to provide opportunities of formation throughout the life, offering to them to the students an alprazolam and alcohol fan of possibilities and flexibility as far as the logout and alprazolam mylan points, as well as facilities for alprazolam mylan personal development and its active participation in the society. Besides heightening these two axes, the Conference also stipulates that the institutions of education superior would have to provide formation for the educational and administrative staff, to assure fairness and egalitarian access to this formation, particularly for the women, and to adopt explicit policies with alprazolam mylan to the TIC use.
These policies and strategies are urgently necessary to solve a number of problems that affect alprazolam mylan Universities. The use and diverse applications of the TIC can be the answer for some of these problems or deficiencies. Universities, of which they are numerous those that contributes to technological alprazolam and alcohol to companies and governments, would also alprazolam mylan to be the actors model to implement the technological solutions, according to carefully formulated strategies:
