Information and communication technologies can be used to support learning in three key ways:
1. They provide opportunities for computer-assisted instruction for both teachers and students, allowing teachers to create better course materials and students to learn skills at their own pace.
2. Access to vast information online through intranets and the internet empowers education by allowing anyone to access or publish information regardless of location, attributes, or time of day.
3. Education management information systems allow schools to collect and analyze student and staff data to inform planning and resource allocation, improving efficiency and performance.
Appraisal of E-learning structure in Nigerian Polytechnics: A Case study of F...IOSR Journals
Abstract: E-learning represents an entirely new learning environment where information and communication
systems, whether networked learning or not, serve as specific media to implement the learning process for
students. In response to the fast development in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), e-learning
was therefore adopted by many universities and other higher institutions around the globe as a way of
improving and supporting their teaching-learning activities and making education accessible for all society
members.. Unfortunately, this rapidly changing technological resource along with the ever growing and mobile
society has no doubt created many challenges for students, teachers, parents, administrators and policymakers
particularly in developing countries. This actually made the paper to assess the e-learning structure in term of
physical infrastructure and human development at the Federal Polytechnic, Ado Ekiti through data collected
both by structured interview and questionnaires. The analyses of which the states of development are at low
realm therefore, call for a robust synergy that will be able to meet and cope with the test of the time.

Autism or mental imbalance is turmoil in the development and improvement of a mind or central nervous system that covers a huge range of skills, impairment and symptoms. The children who are experiencing autism (or mental imbalance) confront challenges in conveying and adjusting in the group as they experience difficulty in understanding what others feel and think. These days learning innovations changed instructive frameworks with amazing advancement of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). Moreover, when these innovations are accessible, reasonable and available, they speak to more than a change for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder. In this paper, a writing study and foundation study is done on the Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and E-Learning System for Autism Children.

E-loox is an educational software application that has been designed specifically for students located in areas with limited Internet access. Unlike the majority of existing educational applications, E-loox is a “hybrid app”– meaning it can function both on and offline. As a hybrid app, E-loox allows students to complete assignments, access course materials, and conduct research in places where there is no Internet access. While global Internet access has expanded rapidly in the last decade, there are still more than 3.5 billion people who lack access, including approximately 60 million people in the United States. E-loox seeks to bridge the gap for the millions of students who have internet in the classroom but lack a home connection.

The Internet has become one of the greatest inventions of mankind for learning and sharing of useful information through electronic means. For some years now, the developed nations have adopted the use of the e-learning system. Presently, the COVID-19 outbreak has given rise to the adoption of the e-learning system by many countries of the world being the most viable alternative for teaching and learning. This paper uses a pragmatic approach to evaluates the benefits and challenges associated with the e-learning system. A survey was conducted among students in a higher institution and a total of one hundred and twenty-five responses was gathered from the online questionnaire to know the likely challenges faced by students with the e-learning system and also at an online researchers’ forum. The result shows that 30.40% of students complained about weak internet connectivity from the questionnaire administered which is also the major problem in most developing nations, and for optimal performance of the e-learning system, there should be adequate provision for strong internet connectivity, standard IT infrastructure, and user-friendly e-learning platform.

ICT Based Non Formal Educational Modules: Nature, Usage and ImpactShipra Sharma
In recent years, ICT enhanced Non-Formal Educational (NFE) modules are increasingly being channelled through community access centres to provide wide ranging basic skills to local communities. These are instrumental in accelerating the achievement of key Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), particularly poverty reduction, universal primary education and gender parity.
The paper describes the nature, usage and tangible results and impact of ICT enhanced non-formal education at the community level. This will provide a basis for experience sharing between countries and regions that increasingly seek to channel non-formal education through community based Multi-media Centers (CMCs) and telecentres.

Information Technology In Education
Information Technology in Education, effects of the continuing developments in information technology (IT) on education.
The pace of change brought about by new technologies has had a significant effect on the way people live, work, and play worldwide. New and emerging technologies challenge the traditional process of teaching and learning, and the way education is managed. Information technology, while an important area of study in its own right, is having a major impact across all curriculum areas. Easy worldwide communication provides instant access to a vast array of data, challenging assimilation and assessment skills. Rapid communication, plus increased access to IT in the home, at work, and in educational establishments, could mean that learning becomes a truly lifelong activity—an activity in which the pace of technological change forces constant evaluation of the learning process itself.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

Information And Communication Technology Mediated Learning
1. Information and Communication Technology Mediated Learning
Information and Communication Technology Mediated Learning
(ICTML) covers Computer Aided Instruction (CAI) for teachers and the use
of multimedia technologies for producing course materials and Computer
Aided Learning (CAL) for students. Computer assisted instructions have
been in use elsewhere in developed countries especially at early years of
learning. They provide ample opportunities for students to broaden their
learning skills and for teachers to develop better multimedia and interactive
courseware. Studies indicate that learning takes place through
communication. This is generally poor in the classroom model. Classroom
models are largely "one-way teaching models" in which the teacher plays the
acting part whereas pupils and students are merely reacting. Computer
assisted instructions can greatly complement traditional teaching techniques
to help students to learn much more much faster.
Access to information and communication via the Internet/Intranet
Internet and Intranet have become a source of vast amount of information
and interactive tools. Intranet is a closed user-group Internet. An example
of Intranet could be a school campus network where students and teachers
share to local information such as teaching materials and course schedules
while at the same time accessing the Internet. The Internet is a set of
linked computers characterized by protocols that allow it to be used across
a wide-range of hardware platforms. Each machine on the Internet contains
information to be shared across the globe – (the content of Intranet is only
available to a small closed community such as schoolteachers and students).
Information on the Internet could be accessible from any location
regardless of the type of computer system being used. It also means one can
have access to and/or publish information regardless of the subject,
location, age, race and time limitation. Internet is thus an empowering tool
for all that are involved in education. Denial of access to the Internet to
schools compares to denial of vitamins and proteins but carbohydrates to
someone!
A wide array of techniques have been developed to access to information on
the Internet ranging from logging onto a remote server, chatting over the
Internet with colleagues on specific subjects, sharing information via mailing
lists and user groups, file transfer protocol to get files on servers to the
2. World Wide Web - an interactive multimedia based information access tool.
The World Wide Web has now gained the momentum due to its ease of use
and its multimedia capability.
Other techniques have also been developed to work for those that do not
have access to the Internet. One such technique is the use of "offline
browsers" where the valuable information on the Internet is downloaded on
high capacity storage media such as Digital VideoDisk (DVD) and distributed
to remote schools. The Internet is accessible in around 150 countries
including Ethiopia. However, the Internet is being under-utilized for
education in Africa in general and no use of it reported in Ethiopia except by
researchers at university level. The key obstacle is lack of adequate
communication infrastructure throughout the country. Lack of resources,
fear, apathy, lack of encouragement and ignorance are other significant
impediments.
Education Management Information System (EMIS)
Education Management Information System (EMIS/or EDMIS) is a multi-
user, interactive information system and a planning tool for storing and
retrieving education information on students, student grades, test results,
courses, personnel, finances at school, district or regional levels. Student
information such as demographics and attendance, subject, program, and
performance, staff information such as demographics, employment related
data, classroom schedule, vocational education course taken by the staff and
staff performance report could be gathered in a standard format and
entered at school, district and national level to inform decision-making. The
EMIS financial data include information on budgets, cash balances,
expenditures, receipts, schedule of indebtedness and miscellaneous financial
reports for higher level management and others such as building profile
information. Although it has been in use elsewhere in developed world EMIS
use in developing countries is often limited to offices of the Ministries of
Education. Data on education planning is usually gathered using manual
techniques and is often prone to errors and inconsistency.
At school level EDMIS could allow its users to schedule educational events,
notify key personnel/organizations of the events and ultimate outcomes,
print a calendar of events, and schedule counseling sessions for classes.
EDMIS provides education staff members with a standard set of reports
3. that can be used for managing education activities or reporting to
installation or external organizations. Staff members can also perform
standard and special purpose (ad hoc) queries to obtain data not available
through existing functions. Coupled with office automation and networks
EMIS promises efficient allocation of resources and centralized planning as
well as resources management at national level. The application of computer
as a tool for communication and problem solving in schools would provide
schools to see its continuous impact on education and day to day activities of
the staff.
Information and communication support for distance education and
lifelong learning
Information and communication technology support to distance and lifelong
learning is one of the most exciting opportunities to developing countries
that face two major challenges. These countries are facing a sociopolitical
demand for access from larger cohorts of school leavers, and from
population groups and social classes largely excluded from higher education
and a socioeconomic demand for highly trained human resources with wider
ranges of skills and competencies. Ethiopia for example is one of those
countries that have been facing considerable gap in refreshing school
leavers and its trained workforce. A quick observation shows that the
majority of the workforce in the country is highly ineffective partially due
to lack of up to date training, refreshment and inability to keeping up with
new developments in their areas of expertise. At extreme some "experts"
have not touched or read books or articles ever since they left schools or
colleges. The problem of lack of refreshment is sever specially in decision
making process where middle and senior management have not been able to
keep abreast with new developments in their fields or other related areas.
Knowledge doubles itself faster than the capacity of an average person.
Human understanding of the area gets outdated within 2-5 years if this has
not been refreshed continuously – thus it is clear that Ethiopia has one of
the most exciting opportunity in using information and communication
technology for distance and lifelong learning. In the face of limited
resources and time, distance education seems the only alternative for
bridging the knowledge gap of the workforce that has limited time and
convenience. Data in the most developed countries shows that only two out
of five college students fit the traditional learning profile [9].
4. Problems facing the spread of distance education in developing countries are
not technical but rather political and administrative. Distance education
faces a number of difficulties such as, money, staff, equipment and time and
a number of underlying problems such as resistance to distance education by
educators, different learner characteristics and needs, the influence of
media upon the instructional process, equity of access to interactive
education delivery systems, and the new roles of teacher, site facilitator,
and students. Its spread in Ethiopia has been hampered by all these
difficulties. A qualitative assessment undertaken in 1997 [10] shows that in
Ethiopia:
• the open learning concept is far less recognized and heavily depends
on correspondence courses
• policies regarding accreditation, students and learner support have
not been put into action although they have been "under-
construction". This has delayed expansion of distance learning and
impaired activities of institutions that have intentions to setup
distance learning schools.
• until recently, there has been a high resistance to distance education
by educators - limited endorsement of distance education and overall
confusion about its effectiveness among traditional educators.
• broadcast radio and television have been in use for a long time,
however these media have not been fully exploited by learners and
conventional teaching institutions.
• there is limited understanding of the impact of new technologies on
the delivery education. Resource limitation and bad
telecommunications infrastructure are two main obstacles.
• the culture for motivation, limited incentives to growth, inadequate
reading culture have made considerable blockage to distance learning.
• there is considerable difficulty by the learning centers to develop
more interactive student-centered curriculum due to lack of
experience, incentive and limited understanding of new high and low
bandwidth interactive communication technologies.
Another concern of distance educators is the economic standards of
learners. Most learners cannot afford new tools and technologies such as
computers and telephones. These tools are not accessible to students in
remote areas. However, community-centered broadcast technologies such as
digital radios and low cost computer mediated communications such as the
5. Internet and World Wide Web, are opening new opportunities for distance
education to reach students at a distance and also to serve students who
need flexibility. Compression technologies combined with improved computer
speeds at reduced costs are making interactive, multimedia instruction
readily available to the desktop. Internet access (the WWW) has become
the most popular media for distance education. Telephone-based audio-
conferencing; videoconferencing with one or two-way video and two-way
audio broadcast using cable, telephone, fiber optics, satellite, microwave and
closed-circuit or low power television are around as menu of choices for
distance education planners.
A mix of these technologies centered-around "multipurpose community
learning centers (telecenters)" will continue to dominate the next wave of
distance and lifelong learning in Africa. The following table shows some of
existing technologies and their suitability to Ethiopia.
