Integrated Systems in the Role of Integration of Education

Abstract

Information society paradigm and program highly affect the higher education as well. The rapidly changing environment reflects both the contents and the organisation. The effects are significant concerning the ICT related departments and disciplines, but the IT technology can change very traditional subjects as philosophy radically. An interesting symptom of the always-conservative academic world: the organizational structure of the universities is very hierarchical, the knowledge transfer (what we call education) is fragmented, atomised. On the other way around the real world requirements are just the opposites: there is a vast demand for students and professionals having the ability of integration, knowledge absorption. The general tendencies look a little bit more sharpened in the world of transition, in both the economic and social sense. During the last ten years Hungary went through an intensive development and changing phase in which the experiences of transition and coping with the information society requirements mixed up. In our paper we are going to illustrate a way to develop the teaching in the higher education on an integrated ERP platform.
