ICT (Information and Communication
Technologies) in Education
Information and communication
technologies (ICT) include computers, the Internet, broadcasting technologies
(radio and television) and telephony. While the rise of computers and the
Internet has provoked great interest in the ways in which they can be applied
in education to improve its efficiency and effectiveness at all levels, older
technologies, such as the telephone, radio and television have long been used
as instructional tools. Radio and television have been used for open and
distance learning, although print has remained the cheapest, most accessible
and most dominant delivery mechanism in developed as well as developing
countries.
