1. Scope of Information and
Communication Technologies
use of ICT in education, business, governance, healthcare

2. ICT in education
 Blogs and social networks: it gives us the possibility of creating work groups where
students expose or discuss different topics, publish content related to the subjects,
etc.
 Planning through tools: calendars and task managers are very useful to schedule
exams, deliveries, create workflows, etc.

3. ICT in education
most used technologies in the classroom:
 Data storage in the cloud: it allows us the possibility of working collaboratively,
accessing from any device and from any place. Some of the tools that use this
technology are office packages, storage, etc.
 Digital whiteboards and interactive tables: whiteboards allow projecting and
controlling images from a computer, making notes and comments, and saving and
/ or sending the screen by email. The interactive tables give the possibility for the
students to interact directly with the surface.

4. Benefits of using ICT in education
 Better Conceptual Understanding:
When students learn different concepts through animated videos or other
technologically enhanced digital mediums, they will have a better conceptual
understanding.
 Ensure Active Participation:
For the learning process to be effective, it has to be a two-way process. ICT makes this
possible.

6. ICT use in business
 Intranet: A network used by employees of a business to communicate privately is
called an intranet. This may include training videos, employee information, or plans
of the company.
 Extranet: Also a private network. Along with employees, other stakeholders like
suppliers and wholesalers can also access the extranet of the company. Using the
extranet, suppliers can communicate with employees about stocks or dealers can
order the required quantity of goods.

7. ICT use in business
 Software robots: Chatbots are the most widely used software robots. Do you
remember surfing on a random website when a pop-up comes up asking you if
you need any help finding particular information? If you go ahead and reply, you
communicate with a ‘software robot’ that helps you navigate better. Software
robots are special software created to work as a virtual workforce.
 Cloud technologies: Cloud servers let businesses store their data on the server of
another company. If a company is using cloud service, then they don’t have to
invest a huge amount of money in setting up their server.

 Digital communication apps: Many businesses use mobile applications to
communicate internally. There are some apps like Slack or Google Workspace that
help communication while working remotely feasible.
 Technologies to facilitate home working: Nowadays many businesses have adopted
a work-from-home policy. There are technologies such as the Microsoft Office suite
where people can work simultaneously on a single project. Zoom calls have also
smoothened communication for larger groups of employees.

 Quality of care: Well-designed and reliable technology frees up the time and
attention of your staff, enabling them to focus on patient care. Furthermore, a
robust network allows your facility to implement powerful new tech, like the latest
monitoring devices.
 Accuracy: Errors are inevitable when hardware and software aren’t designed with
the needs of end users in mind. Our technology can help ensure that your team
members are more successful as they input and verify codes, leading to fewer
medical errors. Reduced errors means reduced costs — and better patient
outcomes.

11. ICT in Healthcare
 Seamless collaboration: When your network is working as it should, your staff
always have access to the information they need to provide the best possible care
for patients. Teams can only operate as teams when they can effectively
communicate, and information technology makes that possible.
 Disaster recovery: Your patient’s medical records and billing information is too
important to be lost due to a power outage or a failing hard drive. Worldwide
Services can implement technologies that will ensure speedy recovery of your
systems and your data in the event of a disaster or emergency.

repetitive tasks and managing a large staff to quickly putting the right information
in front of the people who need it.
 Security and privacy: Network security is crucial for any healthcare provider. It’s
not merely a matter of meeting regulatory requirements, but of protecting your
investments into equipment and ensuring the privacy of patient health care
records. Data security is a vital component of your credibility and reputation.

14. What is E-Governance
 Electronic governance or E-governance is application of information and
communication technology (ICT) for delivering government services, exchange of
information, communication transactions, integration of various stand-alone
systems between government to citizen (G2C), government-to-business (G2B),
government-to-government (G2G), government-to-employees (G2E) as well as
back-office processes and interactions within the entire government framework.

 Home and leisure - you have different machines to help you do task at home like
cooking, washing, air conditions. You use microwaves to help you heat up food,
and have washing machines to wash your clothing. And these machines are made
by using ICT. If it weren't for ICT, we would have to make fire to cook our food.
 • Communication - every single day, we use phones, computers, and different
sites (like face-book or twitter) to talk to out friends or family and ICT invented
these methods to enable to talk to people and communicate with them, and ICT

 free access to information: Mass communication will never be complete if its end
product does not reach the intended users. ICT makes sure that communication
achieves its intended objective of reaching the masses. Without technology, mass
communication would not be able to achieve its goal. That is why technology will
continue to be at the center of advancing not only the access of information but
also the creation of communication messages.
