Introduction
Need for EDUCATION
“ The educated differ from the uneducated as much as the living from the dead." – Aristotle
Information Technology
• The pace of change brought about by new technologies has had a significant effect on the way people live, work, and play worldwide today. • New and emerging technologies have challenged the traditional process of teaching and learning, and the way education was managed till today.
OBJECTIVE Of Education in 21st Century
In the new global economy which is “powered by technology, fueled by information and driven by knowledge”, the purpose of education has taken an even more important meaning.
• Storage of Information that make possible continuous learning over the lifetime. • Anytime anywhere Quick access to information • Distant but at the same time collaborative learning • Individuals should posses technological literacy • Bring down the cost of education to meet the challenges of illiteracy and poverty
IT - Reshaping Education system
• Helping Teachers in being effective in what they do • Improving the quality and relevance of classroom instruction
• Making quantifiable and measurable progress towards improving efficiency
IT Ways of Classroom
E-Learning Blended Learning Open and Distant Learning
• Uses an information network—the Internet, an intranet (LAN) or extranet (WAN)—whether wholly or in part, for course delivery, interaction and/or facilitation.
• Learning models that combine traditional classroom practice with e-learning solutions
• A way of providing learning opportunities that is characterized by the separation of teacher and learner in time or place, or both time and place
Transformation of Learning Environment
How Things are Different?
• Access to variety of learning resources • Immediacy to information (e-learning , web based learning etc.) • Any time – Collaborative - Distance learning (video-conferencing, tele-conferencing etc.) • Multimedia approach to education • Authentic and up to date information • Online library • Better accesses to children with disabilities • Real Life Simulation
Virtual Classrooms
• Provides
real-time class session via the Internet • Gives a feel of being in the classroom itself • Increase national as well as international student enrolments
Simulations
• Helps in putting knowledge into practice and learn. • Gaming environment help towards innovative and collaborative approach to counter real world competition.
Online Library
The Library as a physical space is being replaced by digital libraries now it is accessible worldwide by almost everyone
Video Conferencing
• Provides opportunity to learn by participating in a 2-way communication platform • Students from diverse communities and different backgrounds can come together to learn about one another • Small schools can use this technology to pool resources and teach courses which otherwise could not be offered
Multimedia
• Enrichment of traditional classroom instructions through interactive and visually attractive medium.
• A flexible medium transcending time and space barrier.
Internet as a resource
World wide Web brings a seemingly endless amount of information on any subject and its possible for everyone to choose topics based on personal interest rather than availability of resources
Skills needed for Workplace in Future
Digital Age Literacy Functional Literacy Ability to decipher meaning and express ideas in a range of media; this includes the use of images, graphics, video, charts and graphs or visual literacy Understanding of both the theoretical and applied aspects of science and mathematics Competence in the use of information and communication technologies Ability to find, evaluate and make appropriate use of information, including via the use of ICTs Appreciation of the diversity of cultures Understanding of how nations, corporations, communities all over the world are interrelated and
Scientific Literacy Technological Literacy Information Literacy Cultural Literacy Global Awareness
Risks Posed by IT
• Ready access to online facts and research increases risk that students are graduating without foundational knowledge • Potential Increase in Student Plagiarism
• Students are more distractible in classrooms due to laptops and smart phone use
• Potential increase in student cheating in homework and exams • Fragments traditional sense of campus community
Survey : IT Presence in Education
Upcoming Trends
? Cloud Computing for Education - Cost - Flexibility - Accessibility
? Unified Communications – Education Desktop - Collaborative tool for Many Applications ? VSAT-enabled virtual and interactive classrooms - Lost Cost Terminal to support applications in Internet Access, Video Conferencing
