There has been a remarkable growth of interest in the practice of technology in language teaching and learning classes in recent years. Several researches have confirmed the impact of technology on changing the teaching approach from teacher-centered to learner-center in English Language (EL) classrooms. In accordance with the research findings that have shown repeatedly technology has an effective impact on developing the learning process. The development of technology in education provides opportunities for learners to experience the new form of learning such as learning autonomy. For example, with the use of computers and the Internet, learners are able to obtain rich information and authentic learning resources for self-directed learning. In addition, they are relaxed, independent, and more likely to take personal accountability for their own learning both inside and outside the classroom. The aim of this study is to highlight the use of technology to improve learning autonomy in EL classrooms. Simultaneously, it enables the learner to take full control of their learning process, which leads to a better understanding of the studied material and learn EL. This paper will be drawn on educational researches and emerging new practices of technology in teaching and learning processes, to investigate the use of technology for promoting learner autonomy in EL Classrooms.

The article deals with the programming of pupils in primary schools. In the long term, there is a growing lack of interest in computer science lessons and especially in programming. Is it possible to change less popular lessons so that students perceive IT and programming positively and learn easier than ever? Until now, classic hardware programming devices included Arduino or Raspberry Pi, which were often less suitable for students because of the complexity of their programming. With the introduction of the BBC micro: bit, pupils and teachers have opened up new opportunities for teaching and learning. The development environment, which can be controlled using blocks I of the microPython or Java language, is processed in several languages, which provides the students with a major relief from the need to translate text and their focus can be fully focused on programming. In short, we will introduce Arduino, Raspberry Pi and take a closer look at the BBC micro: bit, its features, sensors and capabilities, making it one of the most appropriate means to implement in education. We will focus on the results of research that have been carried out in the field of student programming abroad and in Slovakia and will evaluate the impact of the facility on the effectiveness of computer science teaching.

Using the Arduino embedded system in secondary vocational education in Slovakia is still a fresh phenomenon. Study plans of vocational schools with profession in technics, information technologies and industrial automation are being outdated and do not contain modern solutions in their educational process. Our research was about to find out the actual state of awareness about these modern systems among teachers and educators in vocational schools in Slovakia. A questionnaire was created and sent to secondary vocational schools with a profession aiming at technological industry which showed us the real actual status of the usage of modern technologies and embedded systems in education.

Cyber security is a current topic of the cyberspace, which includes Cloud Computing (CC) systems. Current use of CC and its expected development require strong security measures. The reason is the fact that data with sensitive information from several users enters the CC system and the disruption of the system or the leakage of such information is unacceptable. As how in building architecture, it is necessary to dimension the foundations, retaining walls and other parts of the building so that as a whole they form a fixed structure, in the architecture of ICT systems we must look at all components of each partial system too. Security architecture is one viewpoint of development in CC systems. Each deployment model and each CC service model in a particular implementation environment requires its own security framework. ICT standardization organizations have issued several recommendations and standards that provide principles for followed in the specific implementation of CC. The authors of the article used them in processing the Architecture description of the OpenStack private cloud in a university environment.

Manually checking the configuration of manageable network devices is a time-consuming process, that should be automated. This automatization is especially needed in the school environment with many students, where a teacher must effectively evaluate the students' results. This paper describes a proposal of a web system for testing configuration of network devices. The proposed system enables students to easily upload and evaluate configurations of network devices. When a student uploads configurations files, the system compares them to golden-model configuration files, uploaded by the teacher. Based on these comparisons, the system is able to evaluate students' configurations and display the results. The system was designed in such a way that the students cannot access the golden-model configuration files - i.e. answers uploaded by the teacher. The proposed system also makes organization of configuration files easier for students and teachers by grouping them into tasks and courses.

E-learningpresents the new education model whose potential has extremely grown in the era of COVID 19. This paper aims to investigate the influence of Performance Expectancy (PE), Effort Expectancy (EE), Social Influence (SI), Facilitating Conditions (FC), and Gamification (G) on the Use Behavior (UB) at observing the e-learning platform. The participants in the research were 290 Engineering students from the University of Novi Sad, Serbia, during 2019. Data analysis was carried out based on the Social Network Analysis (SNA) method. Results indicate that PE, SI, and FC have a significant positive impact on UB at the e-learning platform. Moreover, results show a strong relationship between all factors which influence acceptance of the e-learning method.

There has been a lot of research on what is needed to prepare students for careers in engineering and technology. The basic skill they need to have is a critical skill known as spatial ability. The education in Descriptive Geometry is a training of the students' intellectual capability of space perception. But the question is: How to teach the students to reach this goal? Modern technologies have been a great help in the teaching process in the recent years. This paper reports on one possibility how you can use software applications and 3D visualisation to improve teaching and increase students' understanding.

As covid-19 lockdown forced education institutions to find solutions to maintain pedagogical activities while respecting safety measures. We here share a proposal from Ecole Superieure Polytechnic of Dakar based on the application of VXLAN technology to educational network systems, in order to provide to each class a specific virtual classroom network. Using Wireguard to create a VPN connection, devices are dynamically set to a specific class VXLAN and Zeroconf used for Autodiscover between terminals. The solution integrates multiple services to offer a virtual space for social constructivism based pedagogic interactions.
