x Virtual Private Network –VPN, it enables a computer to
send and receive data across shared or public networks as
if it were directly connected to the private network, while
benefiting from the functionality, security and
management policies of the private network [24];
x Voice over Internet Protocol –VoIP, that provide HEIs
those required for transport of voice traffic based on
existing network infrastructure mechanisms [25].
Thirdly, the FCCN (in Portuguese, Fundação para a
Computação Científica Nacional) Services presented by IPG
are:
x FileSender, that is a web based application that allows
authenticated users to securely and easily send arbitrarily
large files to other users [26];
x Zappiens, that is a site registered as a trade mark in the
National Institute of Industrial Property of aggregation
and visualization of educational, scientific, cultural or
artistic multimedia content produced preferably in a
school environment and in Portuguese [27]; and
x “COLIBRI” Multimedia Collaborative Environment,
which offers sophisticated tools for conducting classes,
meetings or group work for teachers and students through
the Internet [28].
Finally, as other online services, the IPG presented for
example the email, once IPG provides email accounts to all
students, teachers and staff based on:
x Google Apps that is a cloud-based productivity suite that
provides basically all Google services that are currently
available with a Google Account. Besides email, it is
possible to get contacts, calendar and other Google
services (see Fig. 11);
Figure 11. Email of IPG: school year 2013/2014.
x Videoconference, that is a tool through which a
conference is conducted between two or more participants
at different sites by using computer networks to transmit
audio and video data; and
x Interactive Whiteboards, which is an instructional tool
that allows computer images to be displayed onto a board
using a digital projector.
In resume, the e-learning platform Blackboard includes as
potential benefits [29]: increased availability - Blackboard can
be accessed from the internet at anytime and anywhere;
students can retrieve all of their course materials including
assignments, lecture notes, slides, internet hyperlinks, and
audio/visual aids; quick feedback - there are two principal types
of feedback provided to students: faculty-initiated feedback and
automated feedback; improved communication - there are
several features of Blackboard that allow for communications
with students, as for example the announcements, discussions,
virtual classroom and email; tracking - the Blackboard tracks
student usage of courses and posts these results in the course
statistics area. Teachers can obtain statistics on all students or
individual students within the course. Individual assignments
can also be tracked. Date and time stamps are included in the
Last Submitted/Modified section of the submitted assignment,
allowing for easy identification of late assignments; skill
building - there are several additional skills that are promoted
with the use of Blackboard, providing the ability to include a
calendar for each course in which a student is enrolled, thus
optimizing students’ efforts to match course expectations.
Current entries for each course are displayed in the Welcome
area that the student sees after login. All documents posted by
the teacher can provide start and end dates and times. The use
of these dates and times for all documents, including tests and
assignments, encourages students to allocate time efficiently.
Specifically, through the Blackboard platform the students
of the IPG access to the home page of IPG and each one school,
courses (as the duration, qualifications, learning objectives,
methodologies, incoming profile, output profile, career
opportunities, programme and course director), IPG
information’s(as the welfare services, item health services,
item food, item accommodation, item scholarships, item sports
and culture, among others), Guarda city information’sand IPG
contacts, as well as of each one her school.
However, as [30] pointed out, the mere possession of so
many resources is not sufficient to achieve competitive
advantage. The teachers, students and staff must continuously
have new professional education sessions that suggested the
focus of offering more information and exchange new ways of
doing the tasks and obligations mitigating the error through the
process of learning. Also, [31; 32] argue that the learning
process promoted by the experience recognizes that IPG may
constant learn from errors, poor outcomes and failure and off
course this is a challenge that needs to be explain for the experts
in ICT learn more effectively than other organizations through
such failures.
IV. CONCLUSION
The paper focus in advocating the importance of the recent
developments on Information Technologies in Education (ITE),
particularly in higher education, to answer students and
teacher’sneeds, according to the real time rapidity
characteristics of the process of learning and teaching. Also, the
authors argue that the improvement of knowledge and skills of
students, over the time they study in IPG, grow other join
effects of the learning-by-doing process, because they are
familiarly with ICT and constant improvements in those best
practice in the field of modernity of the Education. The results
show that the HEIs, in general, and IPG, in particular, face
constant and new challenges, not only to equip students with an
adequate education in their field of study, but also to arm them
with the skills and knowledge required to leverage technology
