25.9 Summary
• At present majority of devices are based on Digital Technology. One such device is Computer.
The Computer is an electronic device that has the capacity to store, retrieve & process both
qualitative & quantitative information fast and accurately. The computers were never
developed for improving quality of teaching - learning process. But researchers started
using Computers for teaching purpose. It gave birth to Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI),
Computer Managed Instruction (CMI), Computer Based Instruction (CBI), etc. People started
developing CAI for teaching different subjects at School as well as Higher Education level.
• Networking of computers gave birth to Information Technology (IT). UNESCO considered
Information Technology as “Scientific, technological and engineering disciplines and
management techniques used in information handling and processing, their application,
computers and their interaction with men and machines, and associated social, economical
and cultural matters”.
• The Information Technology leads to development of Websites. Government, Corporate
sector, educational institutions, etc. started uploading the information on their websites. It
provides facilities for Chat, e-mail, surfing, etc. It opens up a new source of Information
which increased the limitation of access to information.
• IT was limited only to the textual mode of transmission of information with ease and fast.
But the information not only in textual form but in audio, video or any other media is also
to be transmitted to the users. Thus, the ICT = IT + Other media. It has opened new avenues,
like, Online learning, e-learning, Virtual University, e-coaching, e-education, e-journal, etc.
Third Generation Mobiles are also part of ICT.
• The ICT being latest, it can be used both at school and higher education levels in the
following areas :
• Teaching
• Diagnostic Testing,
• Evaluation
