“…However, educators themselves have to undergo a process of reeducation, rethinking the content they offer in their courses and validating this content before restructuring and adjusting their academic offering [29]. On the other hand, the advantages of using technology in educational processes are indisputable: reducing the time in the training process, the possibility to adapt programs to the learners' needs, interdisciplinary promotion, and the possibility of simple adaptation to changes in different areas as well as essentially reducing the costs of continuous education [29].…”

This article describes a process for introducing modern technological subjects into the academic curricula of non-technical universities. The process described may increase and contribute to social sustainability by enabling non-technical students' access to the field of the Internet of Things and the broader Industry 4.0. The process has been defined and tested during a curricular reform project that took place in two large universities in Eastern Europe. In this article, the authors describe the results and impact, over multiple years, of a project financed by the European Union that aimed to introduce the following subjects into the academic curricula of business students: cloud computing, big data, mobile programming, and social networks and cybersecurity (CAMSS). The results are useful for those trying to implement similar curricular reforms, or to companies that need to manage talent pipelines.

“…In addition, a continuous analysis of the effectiveness of elearning courses (Umek et al, 2017, Mwalumbwe & Mtebe, 2017 and videoconferencing tools (Krutka & Carano, 2017) is conducted, student satisfaction is assessed (Clawson, 2007). The use of information technology to support this concept is analyzed (Smeureanu & Isaila, 2011). All means declared as tools for organizing and supporting education are located in the information and educational environment of the university (IEE).…”

The relevance of the study deals with the importance of improvement of student readiness to overcome IT-related obstacles in post-Soviet social studies education. In this regard, this paper aims at identifying the concept of pedagogical interaction in the information and educational environment and revealing the effective use of pedagogical interaction to improve student readiness to overcome IT-related obstacles. The leading research method used to solve the problem is teaching project, which allows an integrated treatment of methodology in developing student readiness to overcome IT-related obstacles. The paper presents such methods as creating positive motivation, arranging interactive educational cognitive and practical student activities and boosting the personal educational environment; it is shown that a distinctive feature of pedagogical interaction is the acquaintance of students with various elements of the information and educational environment, leading to the development of student readiness to overcome IT-related obstacles; it is found out that the use of pedagogical interaction in the information and educational environment ensures the purposefulness and efficiency of educational process; it is justified that using interactive means of information and educational environment in the context of arrangement of pedagogical interaction can enrich educational process, develop specific student skill that will definitely help them in future professional activities. The research materials are of practical value to the further expansion of functional and methodical aspects of using interactive media in the information and educational environment.

Human resources management is an essential prerequisite to enhance performance in healthcare organizations. Improving human resources management in a university hospital, first and foremost depends on how professional and knowledgeable the management team is, as well as on the competences and skills of its members. This paper describes a highly personalized e-learning system, which is able to take into account the individual's profile, learning style, initial knowledge and education needs. The system is based on new technologies: Semantic Web and ontologies. On these technologies are based the development of the constituent parts of the system: the student model, the model of the field of interest namely Healthcare Human Resources Management (HHRM) in Romania. The main benefit of the proposed elearning method consists in personalized training of managers. The characteristic feature of the suggested method largely lies in the fact that specific ontologies of the field of interest are implemented with the Protégé environment which relies on a personalized methodology. The paper presents the constituent parts and architecture of the proposed ontology-based e-learning system and a framework for its implementation in a real life platform. Even though the current system is tailored to the needs of HHRM , its application could be extended to other fields of knowledge and learning contexts.
