Information Technology in Transition |
|
Mission StatementComputer Education Techniques develops resources for teaching information technology software to client organization employees; this includes the student handouts used in SYS-ED courses and training programs. Since 2000, CETi has been applying the New York State Department of Education - Bureau of Proprietary School Supervision standards to its website infrastructure operations: transparency, advertising in the public domain, course catalog, administrative forms, curriculum design, lesson plans, and reporting. The United States SBA: Small Business Administration requirements - 15 U.S. C 645(d) are being applied to the website content 1. The original Open Ratings Past Performance Evaluation will be updated. The transitioning and expansion of the CETi business model is driven by empirical research in conjunction with course work performed at Cornell University School of Business and Public Administration. Algorithms and mathematical modeling will be used with open source ML: learning software. Digital resources and services will be available to accredited academia facing challenges in providing quality information technology training with budgetary constraints: trade schools, junior colleges, community colleges, colleges, and universities.

CETi instructors have multiple skillsets: expert programmer-practitioners, technologists, academic degrees - in computer science and business administration, and source software certified.
Computer Education Techniques aggregates computer software in the public domain: web browsers, applications, operating systems, programming languages, development tools, and databases. Software is downloaded; sample code and programs are reviewed. Online help and source documentation are evaluated: readability, completeness, self-study, problem resolution, and reference. It is compared to information on commercial software company and open source purveyor websites and its value in preparing for certification.
The by-product is derivative courseware and training aids which reflect the changes and advancements in the software industry: co-existence and interoperability with established and new generations of commercial and open source software: mobile device platforms, cloud computing, Big Data, and IOT: Internet of Things. Textbooks are reviewed and extended with instructor notes, sample programs, and case studies. In areas of information technology where there is a scarcity of textbooks, courseware and training aids are created.
CETi also teaches and provides instructor placement for qualified third party organizations. CETi and technology partners will be offering a course schedule. Not everyone will be allowed to enroll in these courses; this builds upon the pre enrollment requirements by the New York State Department of Education - Bureau of Proprietary School Supervision for computer applications, UNIX/Linux, mainframe, and Java.
Computer Education Techniques is applying its experience in instructor training and developing information technology courseware to address these challenges:

Computer Education Techniques has been evaluating the issues in online education and selectively developing resources which address challenges in teaching information technology. CETi is implementing a multi-stage process for improving courseware inputs to be offered through accredited academia for student populations: cost reduction, personalized learning, scalability to larger audiences, and measurable client/student learning outcomes.
This is the work in progress:
IT Subject Matter Aggregation | Moodle Framework | New York State Department of Education Standards | Academic Standards |
Organization into an Enterprise Database | Industry Categorization | Lesson Plans | Strunk and White |
Verification of Source Accuracy | Academic Business Theory | Instructor Licensing | Turabian |
Programmatic Presentation | Machine-learning Framework | Instructor Training | Journalist Integrity |
Cognitive Search | Digital Architecture | Consumer Protection | Documentation |
A technology driven infrastructure will be central to CETi training services. The instructional design initially is being applied to the IBM mainframe environment, programming languages, and databases. These are areas where there is no NRV: Nationally Recognized Vendor with few up to date textbooks, and minimal certification. There are plans for curriculum expansion and increasing the courses to be offered through a web-based delivery medium.
Computer Education Techniques, Inc. is developing a cognitive search capability for making digital information technology subject matter available for use by third parties: accredited academia, Fortune 1000 companies, government municipalities, and healthcare providers. It will include textbook extensions, training aids, courseware, strategic learning paths, and programming techniques: methodologies, design, debugging, and performance.
There also will be a reviewer service. It will identify free and low cost information technology resources available for self-study: base courses, advanced topics, extra practice, and specialized training. Some information technology subject matter only should be taught by the source commercial software companies and open source purveyors.
Moneticization of digital content is predicated upon the assumption that CETi resources will facilitate or improve mastery of subject matter and that there is a measurable return on investment demonstrated by performing information technology tasks and client organization project work. The deliverables, cost, and content needs to be aligned: academic standard readability and usability that the client/student is qualified as being able to learn. Internet based systems for assessing mastery of subject matter is under development.
