Definition of ICT
 ICT is a generic term referring to
technologies, which are being used for
collecting, storing, editing and passing
on information in various forms
(SER,1997)

Information and
Communication technology

ICT literacy

 ICT literacy basically involves using digital
technology, communication tools and/or
access, manage, integrate, evaluate and
create information in order to function in a
knowledge society.

How to use Information
technology effectively ?
Learners use computer-based services to
search and find relevant information.
Learners retrieve relevant information.
Learners decode information in variety of
forms( written, statistical and graphic).
Learners critically evaluate information of
different fields of knowledge.

Information Technology –Cont’d

Learners can use computer based
services to write, analyze, present and
communicate information.
Learners can use information
technologies to create networks of co-
learners and to share, collaborate and
construct knowledge.

Importance of ICT

 As a source of Knowledge
 As a medium to transit Knowledge

 As a means of interaction /

dialogue

Attributes of Computer based
technology

Multi-sensory delivery: Text, graphics, animation,
sound and video.
Active learning: enhanced learner interest.
Co-operative learning: positive group/social
interaction.
Communication Skills: one-to-one, one-to-
many, many-to-many.
Multicultural education: link students from
across the country/around the world.
Motivation: greater learner engagement (time).

“ Any technology which increase the rate
of learning would enable the teacher to
teach less and the learner to learn more”

ICT tools
 Multimedia PC, Laptop, Notebook.
 CDs& DVDs, digital video, still camera.
 Internet and its tools- e-mail ,browsers,
website, search engines, chat etc.
 Computer aided instruction& computer
mediated video/audio conferencing.
 Digital libraries , e-books& electronic
publications.
 Microsoft publishing -news letter, poster,
brochure.

Digital techniques
 Word processing -documents, notes,
projects, assignments
 Spread sheet programming -records,
exam scores
 Data bases -information storage
 Graphing software -to prepare teaching-
learning resources
 Developing Multimedia kits -to make
process interesting
 Using internet and e-mail facilities -to
gain knowledge
 Games and simulations -to improve
quality of learning

Advantages of ICT

Sharing digital resources,
wide variety of services,
Flexibility,
Reliability,
faster speed,
cheaper cost.

Influence of ICT in student
learning
 ICT helps to provide interactive learning
experiences.
 ICT stimulates and motivates students to learn.
 ICT provides comfortable learning .
 ICT aids in the understanding of difficult
concepts and processes.
 ICT caters to different learning styles.
 ICT helps students to gain valuable computer
skills.
 ICT aids in collaboration and group work.

Unique features of ICT

ICT facilitate collaboration and
communication.
ICT aid in the visualization of difficult
concepts.
ICT promote creativity.
ICT enable multiplier effect of documents.
ICT provide flexibility and variety in learning.
ICT provide a multimedia effect.

Computers
 Computers are cognitive tools;
 Computers are performance support
systems (PSSs).
 Computers offer multi-media ways for
obtaining large amounts of
information from web sites.

Power point presentation
PPT presentations can be
incorporated with a variety of
different kinds of multi-media aspects:
images, video, audio and animations.
PPT is neat and clean and it allows for
portability of materials.
PPT is easy for professors to update,
saving them time and energy.

Computers :multimedia
applications
 Scanning media.
 Talking to experts.

 Recording information.

 Writing/ producing compositions.

 Engaging research.

 Students who use multimedia tools are
active learners.
 Students reflect these kind of tasks
throughout their life.
 Students work collaboratively, not only
with each other, but with researchers and
teachers.

Hyper media tools

 It consists of a database of
information structured as nodes or
frames.
 The links between the nodes allow
rapid movement through the
information and a user interface.

Benefits of hyper media tools

Hypermedia helps in exploring a
large database of information.
Hypermedia helps in accessing
elaborations on core information.
Hypermedia promote a ‘rich’
learning.

Interactive video
 The interactive video refers
broadly to software that responds
to certain choices and commands
by the user.
 A typical system consists of a
combination of a compact disk,
computer and video technology.

The interactive video
 Videodisc systems store video pictures,
still pictures, and sound on discs that
users can control with a videodisc
player.
 These systems can provide the
interactive capabilities of computers
and the motion-picture capabilities of
videos.

 Video Conferencing is a method of
performing interactive video
communications over a regular high
speed internet connection.
 Since it was introduced,

communication technologies have
improved exponentially.

Computer simulation
A computer simulation attempts to
reproduce real-life situations
Simulations feature a combination of
text and graphics ,using dialogue and
inquiry to guide the student through a
situation.
Simulations also can bring about
higher-order synthesis and analysis
skills.

Computer-assisted tutorials

Tutorials are one of the most common
types of computer-assisted instruction.
Tutorials are “page-turners” similar to
textbooks.
The one-to-one tutoring and feedback
provided by a tutorial can make it an
excellent tool for improving student
knowledge

Drill-and-practice programs

Drill-and-practice programs work well
in increasing student knowledge
through repetition, usually through
cues
Students can repeat sections, helping
individualized instruction
Drill-and-practice programs provide
automatic feedback to learners.

Web based learning

The learner searches website,
collects information and learns the
lesson.
Web is a viable tool to help
students gain education without
being on campus.
It allows greater autonomy of
learning.

The World Wide Web
 The World Wide Web potentially
provides great flexibility in the
distribution of learning resources in
interesting fashion.
 Resources such as lecture notes,
readings, tutorials and assignments
can be received by students both on
and off campus.

Internet and
education
the Internet consists of a large number
computers linked by national and
international tele-communication
networks.
Each Internet site contains information
(text, images, audio, video, links etc.)
which are accessible to the individual
working from their home computer.

Properties of internet sites
 Internet sites are increasing in number,
sophistication and content.
 Internet provides information in text,
graphics, audio and video.
 Internet allows a greater degree of
interactivity through real time
audiovisual transfers and chat.
 Colored and animated graphics are of
much greater educational value.

Digital library

A digital library is a collection of
textual, numeric, graphic, audio and
video data stored in digital form,
indexed and logically linked for ease
of retrieval.

Components of digital library
 Textual data
 Numeric data

 Graphics data

 Photographs

 Audio data

 Video data

Unique features of digital library
 Safe storage and multiple access of
material
 Ability to store variety of data

 Access information from anywhere in

the world
 Ease of search and retrieval

Different e-learning
experiences
 On - line students group: allowing
students to interact with each other
 On - line lecturing: allowing faculty to
interact with students
 On - line counseling: helps students in
decision- making
 On - line libraries and resource center:
providing text, documents, articles for
reference.
