In the first part, the paper presents an investigation into lecture attendance. The case study was conducted on a group of 309 1st year and 3rd year undergraduate engineering students of the Silesian University of Technology to assess relevance of attending lectures, investigate why they are not attending and what could be done to change this trend, as seen from student perspective. The students have been surveyed by means of questionnaire-type surveys. Increase of Information Technology (IT) based components, redevelopment of f2f traditional lecture into f2f discussion forum preceded by online video podcasts are the most demanded modifications. Following this findings, educational uses of podcasting in supporting and enhancing the lecture is briefly discussed. New model of video-podcasting is proposed. This model is now tested, on a group of Circuit Theory (CT) course students. However this case study is still in progress, the already gained feedback from both, students and lecturer allow to state that use of podcasting in supporting lectures is very promising, under the condition that it is not determined by the potential of the IT, but rather by the way in which it is perceived by educators and students.

For the last seven years, at Silesian University of Technology (SUT), Gliwice, Poland, many undergraduate courses have been fully revised and renewed based on Information and Communication Technology [1,2]. Despite of significant modifications of knowledge delivery and facilitating of self-learning, the students' examination results are often poor. In the current stage of the Circuit Theory course transformation, the authors focus on the student evaluation of the course, and the students' opinion on perspective modification of the course;in particular, on application of various Internet tools (Social Networks, Virtual Worlds, RSS Feeds etc.) for teaching. The survey results show that our students are satisfied with the teaching quality;they indicate insufficient workload as the main examination failure reason. In students' opinion, lecture and classroom tutorials video podcasts are the most successful method of increasing teaching efficiency. The students' acceptance of modern Internet tools for teaching is rather low, the only exception is the Learning Management System (LMS). Following the survey results, the authors reject the idea of introducing more Internet tools for teaching;they will focus on delivering more video podcasts, stimulating students' activity and motivation, as well as increasing application of LMS for self-learning and communication.

In this paper we introduced a new original definition for the information content of a database and we investigated how this new definition can be used to analyze the quality of the design of a database. We also presented a synthesis of the existing approaches for using information theory in order to study the database domain.
The problem of noncausal identification of nonstationary, linear stochastic systems, i.e., identification based on prerecorded input/output data, is considered. It is shown how several competing Kalman-type parameter ...
