1. IT Information Technology.
Information technology (IT) is the acquisition, processing, storage and dissemination of vocal, pictorial, textual and numerical information by a microelectronics-based combination of computing and telecommunications. The term in its modern sense first appeared in a 1958 article published in the Harvard Business Review, in which authors Leavitt and Whisler commented that "the new technology does not yet have a single established name. We shall call it information technology (IT)
2. ICT Information and Communications Technology
Information
and communications technology or information and communication technology,
usually called ICT, is often used as an extended synonym for information technology (IT), but is
usually a more general term that stresses the role of unified communications and the
integration of telecommunications (telephone lines
and wireless signals), intelligent building management systems and audio-visual
systems in modern information technology. "ICT" is used as
a general term for all kinds of technologies which enable users to create,
access and manipulate information. ICT is a combination of information
technology and communications technology.In an increasingly interconnected
world, the interactions among devices, systems, and people are growing rapidly.
Businesses need to meet the demands of their employees and customers to allow
for greater access to systems and information.
3. CAI Computer Assisted Instruction.
Computers are a familiar sight in classrooms in the twenty-first century, and technology has been used to streamline many educational tasks. There are different types of educational computer use, and not every use of a computer in the classroom is considered computer-assisted instruction. The educational uses of computers that are considered to be computer-assisted instruction (CAI) or computer-based instruction (CBI) are those cases in which either instruction is presented through a computer program to a passive student, or the computer is the platform for an interactive and personalized learning environment.

Computers are a familiar sight in classrooms in the twenty-first century, and technology has been used to streamline many educational tasks. There are different types of educational computer use, and not every use of a computer in the classroom is considered computer-assisted instruction.

Computer-assisted language
learning (CALL) is succinctly defined in a seminal work by Levy
(1997: p. 1) as "the search for and study of applications of the
computer in language teaching and learning" CALL embraces a wide range of
ICT applications and approaches to teaching and learning foreign languages,
from the "traditional" drill-and-practice programs that characterised
CALL in the 1960s and 1970s to more recent manifestations of CALL, e.g. as used
in a virtual learning environment and
Web-baseddistance learning. It also extends to the use of corpora
and concordancers, interactive whiteboards, Computer-mediated communication
(CMC), language
learning in virtual worlds and Mobile-assisted language learning
(MALL)
5. WBI Web-Based Instruction.
The Web-based instruction is the process of interface between the current technologies and theinstructional design process to increase the efficiency of learning and overcome problems associated withotherwise having to give instruction at specific time andplace.
6. CBI Certified Business Intermediary.
A
certified business intermediary (CBI) is
a trained and
experienced business broker who
has the skills involved to
carry out business
valuations, confidential marketing,
negotiations, and the many complex details in
the sale or purchase of a
private company. The
CBI designation is a credential, the
professional commercial broker
earns, which is
part of the International Business Brokers
areAssociation and have met the requirements
of professional practice and
academic and
ethical standards of IBBA.
Computer-Mediated
Communication (CMC) is the process by which people create, exchange, and
perceive information using networked telecommunications systems (or
non-networked computers) that facilitate encoding, transmitting, and decoding
messages.Studies of CMC can view this process from
a variety of interdisciplinary
theoretical perspectives by focusing on some combination of people,
technology, processes, or effects. Some of these perspectives include the social, cognitive/psychological, linguistic,cultural, technical, or
political aspects; and/or draw on fields such as human communication, rhetoric and
composition, media
studies, human-computer
interaction,journalism, telecommunications, computer
science, technical
communication, orinformation
studies.
Learning (TELL) in an increasingly globalised world. It is not a technical paper in the sense that it will deal with methodological or software issues.
A MUD (originally Multi-User
Dungeon, with later variants Multi-User Dimensionand Multi-User
Domain) pronounced is a multiplayer real-time virtual
world, with the term usually referring to text-based instances of these.
10. MOO
MOO (MUD Object
Oriented) è un sofisticato programma informatico che permette a più utenti di
collegarsi da remoto, normalmente via Internet, ad un ambiente condiviso che
contiene stanze ed oggetti, all'interno di esso è quindi possibile interagire,
sia con l'ambiente che con gli altri utenti, in tempo
reale.

Synchronous Tools
Synchronous
tools enable real-time communication and collaboration in a "same
time-different place" mode. These tools allow people to connect at a
single point in time, at the same time. Synchronous tools possess the advantage
of being able to engage people instantly and at the same point in time. The
primary drawback of synchronous tools is that, by definition, they require
same-time participation -different time zones and conflicting schedules can
create communication challenges. In addition, they tend to be costly and may
require significant bandwidth to be efficient.
Asynchronous Tools
Asynchronous tools enable communication and collaboration over a period of time through a "different time-different place" mode. These tools allow people to connect together at each person's own convenience and own schedule. Asynchronous tools are useful for sustaining dialogue and collaboration over a period of time and providing people with resources and information that are instantly accessible, day or night. Asynchronous tools possess the advantage of being able to involve people from multiple time zones. In addition, asynchronous tools are helpful in capturing the history of the interactions of a group, allowing for collective knowledge to be more easily shared and distributed. The primary drawback of asynchronous technologies is that they require some discipline to use when used for ongoing communities of practice (e.g., people typically must take the initiative to "login" to participate) and they may feel "impersonal" to those who prefer higher-touch synchronous technologies.
