Informatics
• Informatics is the study of the structure,
behaviour, and interactions of natural and
engineered computational systems.
Educational Informatics
• It is a sub-field of informatics.
• The primary focus is on the computer
applications, systems and networks that
support research in and delivering of
education.
APPLICATIONS
• MOOC
• E.g. udacity, coursera, edx,
mitopencourseware etc.
• Google Classroom
• Smartphone Apps
• E.g. phrasal verb machine made by
Cambridge university press etc.
Advantages:
• shared data;
• centralized control;
• disadvantages of redundancy control;
• improved data integrity;
• improved data security, and database
systems; and,
• flexible conceptual design.
Disadvantages
• a complex conceptual design process;
• the need for multiple external databases;
• the need to hire database-related
employees;
• high DBMS acquisition costs;
• a more complex programmer environment;
• potentially catastrophic program failures;
