Use of ICT in teaching & learning
By the end of this presentation you shouldbe able to answer the following questions:
1. Describe the different types of learning technologies used by schools, colleges and universities
2. Describe the advantages and disadvantages of these technologies
Educational technology
• OR learning technology OR e-learning• This is the use of computers, multimedia materials,
networks and communications systems to support learning
• It includes:• CAI – computer-aided instruction• CBT – computer-based training• CAL – computer-aided learning• CBL – computer-based learning• CMC – computer mediated communications• CAA – computer-aided assessment• Record keeping
CAI – computer-aided instructionCBT – computer-based training
• CAI is software that tends to replace the teacher and take over the whole learning process
• Computer – is the main method of delivering subject knowledge
• Little consideration for other types of learningFeatures:1. Pre-test to establish level2. Easy to navigate3. Use of repetition to reinforce knowledge/skill4. Built-in games/quizzes5. Tests are taken and recorded to monitor progress
CAL – computer-aided learningCBL – computer-based learning
• CAL – software used to support existing methods of teaching and learning
• Does not replace a lecture/lesson• Learning tool/resource like a textbook• More intergrated approach, teacher in control of
learning processFeatures:1. Internet - use to investigate ideas/research as part of
lesson2. Use of computers, DVDs, Interactive whiteboards,
multimedia projectors, TV’s3. Use of overlay keyboard to assist students with
disabilities to access CAL software
Task: Question
Compare the advantages and disadvantages
of CAI and CAL and decide which one you
prefer
advantages & disadvantages
CAI
CAL
CMC – computer mediated communications
• Consists of email, Instant Messaging and Chat rooms
• Email used: to send student tasks and/or students to send completed class/home tasks
CAA – computer-aided assessment
• To test students at school, college & university• To find out what progress they are making• Can be formative or summative assessment• Summative: asking questions/recording
responses. A mark then given• Formative: use of results to specific questions.
Gives indication of progress and can identify key areas for improvement
Online marking software
• Candidates scripts are scanned into a computer system
• Examiners login to the system
• Mark the scripts on screen
• This is a key development area and is proving successful
• Manual marking: candidate marks are entered using OMR form
Record keeping
• Spreadsheets to record tests, exams, predicted grades, targets and attendance
Features used:1. Conditional formatting – to monitor
progress2. Graphs – show progress3. Statistics - percentage of attendance ,
difference between current and predicted grades etc
