Challenges Facing IT Professionals in Community Colleges

Information technology (IT) is rapidly changing bringing opportunities and radical changes on socioeconomic and political aspects of our lives. Along with these changes and opportunities, however, IT professionals face a few specific challenges -- especially those teaching at community colleges. Successful adaption to these challenges, which remain similar throughout the world, requires capital and developed infrastructure -- often a scarce luxury in some parts of the world.
  1. Automated Speech Translation

    • IT professionals often find it difficult to process the many hurdles of human-computer communications. This complex procedure extends further when the professionals must create a language understandable by humans. Creation of some rudimentary speech systems has made it easy to create basic computer-human translation but has not solved the basic problems.

    Teaching Unqualified Students

    • At some instances, children who have never graduated from high school go to community colleges study IT -- whether to meet their business or individual needs. Lecturing such students can prove difficult for the lecturers, since they don't have the required foundation for the study of information technology. Teaching professionals thus often find it hard to tutor this group, resulting in poor performance by the lecturer's class.

    Non-Tactile, Natural Computing Interface

    • The most desirable goal in computing centers on interacting using computers without any additional mechanical interface, which carries several specific challenges. These IT challenges may include the difficulty of developing a gesture detecting it without using any interface, as well as creating a dictionary for the developed gestures. Translating one language to another and developing a natural language understanding can present another set of problems.

    Financial Cost benefit

    • The most astonishing challenges faced by IT professionals centers on explaining IT's value to business in terms easily understandable by executives. Management accounting also offers business advice and recommendations to calculate the financial cost benefit of deploying a particular type of IT.
