What is ICT?
ICTs stand for information and communication technologies and are defined as ‘a diverse set of technological tools and resources used to communicate, and to create, disseminate, store and manage information’.
E-Learning
E- learning is usually associated with higher education and corporate training that uses an information network for course delivery, interaction and facilitation. Online learning and web-based learning is part of e-learning and refers to learning using an internet browser.
Blended Learning
This refers to learning models that combine traditional classroom elements with e-learning solutions. ‘Blending’ was prompted by the fact that not all learning was best achieved in an electronically mediated environment, especially without a ‘live’ instructor.
Consideration must be given to the subject matter, the learning objectives and outcomes, characteristics of the learners and the learning context so that students can learn and instructors can teach effectively.
