The Impact Of Using ICT/Wireless technology In Education Handphone, PDA, Bluetooth and Satelit
After finished doing the 1st and 2nd assignment, now i will start posting my 3rd assignment. This 3rd assignment is very tough and hard. We need to go to the PTSL libraray to find all the information about this task using the online database. I have spend so many of my times to go to PTSL to find all the information and resources.Here is my 3rd posting about the impact of using ICT in education field. i hope that this text will give information to all of you guys outhere. It just a simple paraphrase from the journal and article that i have found and read via databased online in PTSL library.
This task focuses on usability evaluation of information and communication technologies applications in education (ICTE applications). Various classes of teaching and learning systems are discussed in terms of technologies used and pedagogical approaches. Their usability is analyzed according to various dimensions and the impact of system usability on the learning effectiveness is studied. It’s show that various classes of ICTE applications such as multimedia/hypermedia applications, open educational environments and CSCL environments, based on different theoretical perspectives, require fundamentally different approaches in evaluating their usability. The paper is structured as follows: an overview of different usability evaluation approaches is presented first, followed by a discussion on applicability of these techniques in various categories of teaching and learning computer systems. Typical case studies that engage both usability experts and users themselves (students and teachers) are also discussed. The objective is to describe both the methods, and the way to apply them effectively in order to certify the usability of an ICTE application with respect to its teaching and learning objectives.
Using the ICT tools in educational field give us a lot of benefits and advantages. Following down there are distinguishes between three classes of learning courseware and technology:
• Primary courseware:
aims to the primary education like in primary school looking at the presentation of related concept through material in the form of multimedia presentation or electronic book in hypermedia form. For example like using LCD in teaching and learning (L&T). It will exist the environments are mostly hypermedia/multimedia learning environment and these environments at best seek to engage the learners via context and possibly providing interesting pathways through the material. These will help the students become attractive and be a quick learner.
• Open learning environments:
it provide a computational word space and aggregation of tools that the students utilizes to perform learning tasks. In this second courseware, students need to develop higher conceptual level with a constant thinking and reflection of their actions that have to be merged with the direct handling of constructive concepts of the learning objects.
• Tertiary courseware:
surroundings of this class dominated by the concept of dialogue. Understanding and conceptualization occurs after a constant reflection process through being and social interacting in appropriate sociotechnical environment. The building blocks are communication tools like chat and message boards, which allow conversation and exchange of ideas. In such environments the tools that will be able to support and encourage the dialogue have to emphasized.
so,as a conclusion ICT(information and communication technology) gives us a lot of benefits. they are come with the advantages and disadvantages. but we must see from the advantages/benefits side that what we can get from it. our next generation will use whole of ICT tools in their daily life. so,why not we doing practically it now. ICT is very important in educational field. when we are studying in ICT environments it all makes us need to thinking higher tahn normally because we are dealing with technology tools. we will be the same lavel with the abroad students which they have been used it first before it came to our culture/country. no matter what we need to use it with right way and not with a wrong way. all these will make us become It learner. it also will make our daily work become easily. just at your fingertip!!
