Use of ICT in Education

11

• ICT education(creation of human resource to meet the IT

needs) • ICT supported education, and(use of ICT to support the print content)• ICT enabled education(educational Programme that is purely delivered

through ICTs)

1. ICT education

12

• Refers to the creation of human resource to meet the IT needs

• create a pool of manpower to address job opportunities in computers

• Provided the basic computer programming skills to cater to the growing job market in computer based technologies

2. ICT Supported Education

13

• Use ICT to support the print content & distance education

• Also called as multimedia education

• Example: radio and television programmes, audio and video tapes, CD lessons

3. ICT enabled education

14

• Educational programme that is purely delivered through ICTs

• ICT delivered content as the primary backbone of the teaching-learning process

• Example: on-line courses through the web

Classification of ICT used in education

15

• On the Basis of Delivery systemsI. Synchronous MediaII.Asynchronous Media

• On the Basis of ContentI. General awareness ContentII. Instructional content

Synchronous Media

16

• All participants to be together at the same time even though in different locations.

• Example: Audio conferencingTeleconferencingComputer conferencing such as chatInternet telephony

Asynchronous Media

17

• The learning process to be at “different times” and “different places

• Example: Audio and video tapes CDsE mailComputer file transfers

General awareness Content

18

It’s the ICT material prepared for-•Broad audiences•awareness orientation•Nature of learning is broad•MultidimensionalExample: An Video about Polio Immunization

Instructional content

19

Its the material specially designed for specific purpose.•Clearly defined target Enrichment•Clear Objectives•Target related format and treatment•Evaluation critical, through formative processExample: an audio lecture prepared for distance education student

•that use of ICT helped in their professional growth and development by developing insights for the content transaction and getting new ideas.

•use of ICT contributed to the growth and development of the institution

Effect of ICT• Change in Delivery mode• Change in teaching mode• Change in teaching material• Change in learning model

Change in Delivery mode

Lack of facilities and funding

Increase in tuition fee

Growing student population

Privatisation of education

Cost effective solutions(e.g. e-learning)

More virtual universities

Suggestion for effective use of ICT in education

The teachers should increase the use of ICT for preparation of the teaching-learning materials

The management should motivate teachers to use ICT.

Training should be provided to teachers for developing skills required for using ICT.

31

• collaborate Computer companies with Education institute to provide training to in-service teachers

• Organizing workshops and seminars on “the Use of ICT in the teaching-learning process”

• Schools should prepare a schedule for a regular access to computers by students for preparing projects and assignments.
