Computer Education Techniques develops online and digital information technology resources for:

  • Teachers and teaching assistants - lesson plans, digital content, multi-tiered workshops and solutions, specialized training, validation assessment, and instructor guides.
  • Student audiences - training aids, answers to common questions, technology updates, technology assessments, and self-assessment questions.

There are multiple ways to acquire knowledge and mastery of information technology subject matter which then can be applied to performing a specific task or used in conjunction with developing a skillset for meeting the requirement for employment.

  • Technical reviews and guidance in the form of selected and prioritized reading of information technology textbooks.
  • Self-study using the documentation available from the source commercial or open source software surveyor website.
  • Podcast or broadcast transmission of a course lesson plan over the Internet.
  • Live classroom lecture by a subject matter expert.
  • Guidelines and review questions for efficient studying of subject matter.
  • Prototype code, examples, and sample programs available over the Internet.

Subject matter incorporates information from the CETi knowledge base.


Government Regulation and Standards

The Computer Education Techniques business model is being transitioned to meet the new and emerging standards of the United States Department of Education and the New York State Department of Education.1  CETi information technology resources will be categorized to provide parallel and alternative ways of performing the course hour credit work by an accredited and degree granting academic institution. The digital content and ancillary services to meet these standards will be available at low cost.

The assumption is that federal and state governing bodies will be applying stringent regulation and oversight on the operation of for-profit colleges and trade schools with student tuitions funded by taxpayer-backed loans. Many students leave these colleges with both questionable educations and debt loads that cannot be erased in bankruptcy. It will be taxpayers and borrowers who will be responsible for the cost of these of regulatory failures. Moreover, there is scarcity of factual data on the quality of education students received from schools that have been closed such as the Corinthian and ITT.

The www.computeredtech.com content urls will be distributed in the public domain; it selectively will be made available for review and use. CETi board of directors will be evaluating the feedback and quantitative data associated with the digital information technology subject matter from the initial pilot programs.

The development and distribution of CETi online information technology subject matter and digital resources are based upon: 1- An independent pre-qualifying of the prospective trainee, employee, or student’s ability to learn and the motivation and discipline to use the resources. 2- Technical accuracy and clarity of the presentation of information technology subject matter. 3- Feedback to improve and refine the subject matter for performing a task and additional multi-tiered learning.

CETi’s target market and preference is to work with and through accredited academic institutions which provide their own quantitative and empirical pre and post valuation of the utilization of the training resources in teaching their own curriculum. Phd and master degree college faculty use and recommendation of CETi information technology resources is one of the ways we want to both improve and establish authenticity in the value of our work.

The plan is to design and perform the test marketing through state and local governments and established and highly regarded self-regulating institutions by offering digital content free of charge to public library systems. For example, the New York public library offers free computer courses. Reference cards and answers to common question also will be available. Representative examples of case studies and workshops such as scripting, form coding techniques, mobile website, and mobile web apps from SYS-ED and technology partner websites will be prototyped, referred to, and developed in exercises and case studies.
