The major purpose of this conceptual paper is to integrate the view points of different researchers about leaning organization and competitive advantage and then to develop a proposed model of Learning organization. After the in-depth study of literature we concluded that learning organization is an organization which learns through its members individually and collectively to create competitive advantages by developing a facilitative system through the process of self-development and information sharing by empowering the employees.. The paper also finds some critical factors which must be present in the organization to become a learning organization. These factors are Innovation, facilitative leadership, self-development, empowerment, and information sharing and collective collaboration. The paper tried to explain the similarities and differences among the previously available models of learning organization and proposed a new theoretical model. Abstract/Summary of Effective Practice: The current practice focuses on a multimedia-rich environment that approximates reality and stimulates student learning. Designed for an online Graduate Psychology Research Methodology course, a simulated counseling center setting was created in which actual room photos were used and linked in order to give students a “hands on” feel for learning. The initial “trial run” of the course took place in the Spring of 2013 and in course evaluations, students provided overwhelmingly positive feedback about their levels of engagement and satisfaction with the course.

Sustaining the ICT project is very helpful to each and everyone.By this we can still manage ourselves to access ICT even though there’s a social changes. We all know that most of us depend on ICT where we can get informations that we don’t and we want to know,also in ICT you can communicate easily by your family and love ones.

To sustain ICT project there should be:

Change Management : This centers on the client of the ICT administrations and fundamentally concerned.

Request management : This centers on satisfying benefit demands which are regularly minor changes like demands to alter a secret word or ask for data.

Problem Management : This aims to resolve the root causes of incidents.

Infrastructure Management : This process describe the processes that directly relate to the ICT equipment and equipment and software that is involved in providing ICT services to customers.

IT Infrastructure : This refers to the composite hardware, software, network resources and services required for the existence, operation and management of an enterprise IT environment.

Operations Management : This provides the day-to-day technical supervision of the ICT infrastructure.

Technical Support : Is the master specialized work for framework inside ICT.

Service Support : This centers on the client of the ICT administrations and fundamentally concerned.

We should sustain the ICT project for social change to improve the socialization in our country. So by that, many people will get connected to their family or love ones. Sustaining the ICT for change is the beginning for something new will happen in the future. Many future Filipino students will be more knowledgeable as we enter the 21st century curriculum with the high technologies.

Learn to conduct a heuristic evaluation on any given user interface design. This article will teach you how to generate and conduct your own heuristic evaluations so you can improve the usability, utility, and desirability of your designs.The best practice is to use established heuristics like Nielsen and Molich’s 10 rules of thumb and Ben Shneiderman’s 8 golden rules as a stepping stone and inspiration while making sure to combine them with other relevant design guidelines and market research.

Nielsen and Molich’s 10 User Interface Design Heuristics

Jakob Nielsen, a renowned web usability consultant and partner in the Nielsen Norman Group, and Rolf Molich, another prominent usability expert, established a list of ten user interface design guidelines in the 1990s. These heuristics have been reflected in many of the products designed by some of the most successful companies in the world such as Apple, Google, and Adobe. Note that there is considerable overlap between Nielsen and Molich’s heuristics and Ben Shneiderman’s ‘eight golden rules’. These 10 rules of thumb further iterate upon Shneiderman’s ideas 4 years after his initial publication.

Visibility of system status. Users should always be informed of system operations with easy to understand and highly visible status displayed on the screen within a reasonable amount of time

Match between system and the real world. Designers should endeavor to mirror the language and concepts users would find in the real world based on who their target users are. Presenting information in logical order and piggybacking on user’s expectations derived from their real-world experiences will reduce cognitive strain and make systems easier to use.

User control and freedom. Offer users a digital space where backward steps are possible, including undoing and redoing previous actions.

Consistency and standards. Interface designers should ensure that both the graphic elements and terminology are maintained across similar platforms. For example, an icon that represents one category or concept should not represent a different concept when used on a different screen.

Error prevention. Whenever possible, design systems so that potential errors are kept to a minimum. Users do not like being called upon to detect and remedy problems, which may on occasion be beyond their level of expertise. Eliminating or flagging actions that may result in errors are two possible means of achieving error prevention.

Recognition rather than recall. Minimize cognitive load by maintaining task-relevant information within the display while users explore the interface. Human attention is limited and we are only capable of maintaining around five items in our short-term memory at one time. Due to the limitations of short-term memory, designers should ensure users can simply employ recognition instead of recalling information across parts of the dialogue. Recognizing something is always easier than recall because recognition involves perceiving cues that help us reach into our vast memory and allowing relevant information to surface. For example, we often find the format of multiple choice questions easier than short answer questions on a test because it only requires us to recognize the answer rather than recall it from our memory

Flexibility and efficiency of use. With increased use comes the demand for less interactions that allow faster navigation. This can be achieved by using abbreviations, function keys, hidden commands and macro facilities. Users should be able to customize or tailor the interface to suit their needs so that frequent actions can be achieved through more convenient means.

Aesthetic and minimalist design. Keep clutter to a minimum. All unnecessary information competes for the user’s limited attentional resources, which could inhibit user’s memory retrieval of relevant information. Therefore, the display must be reduced to only the necessary components for the current tasks, whilst providing clearly visible and unambiguous means of navigating to other content.

Help users recognize, diagnose and recover from errors. Designers should assume users are unable to understand technical terminology, therefore, error messages should almost always be expressed in plain language to ensure nothing gets lost in translation.

Help and documentation. Ideally, we want users to navigate the system without having to resort to documentation. However, depending on the type of solution, documentation may be necessary. When users require help, ensure it is easily located, specific to the task at hand and worded in a way that will guide them through the necessary steps towards a solution to the issue they are facing

Web accessibility is the inclusive practice of ensuring there are no barriers that prevent interaction with, or access to, websites on the World Wide Web by people with disabilities. When sites are correctly designed, developed and edited, generally all users have equal access to information and functionality.

Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) is developed through the W3C process in cooperation with individuals and organizations around the world, with a goal of providing a single shared standard for web content accessibility that meets the needs of individuals, organizations, and governments internationally.

Network monitoring is the use of a system that constantly monitors a computer network for slow or failing components and that notifies the network administrator (via email, SMS or other alarms) in case of outages or other trouble.
