COMPUTER AS

INFORMATION
AND
COMMUNICATION
TECHNOLOGY

A computer is a
general-purpose device
that can be programmed
to carry out a set of
arithmetic or logical
operations automatically.

ICT (INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION

TECHNOLOGY)
Is an umbrella term that includes any communication
device or application, encompassing: radio, television,
cellular phones, computer and network hardware and
software, satellite systems and so on, as well as the
various services and applications
It stresses the role of unified communications and
integration of telecommunications, computers as well as
necessary enterprise software, middleware, storage, and
audio-visual systems, which enable users to access,
store, transmit, and manipulate information.

The term ICT is also refer to the convergence of

audio-visual and telephone networks with computer
networks through single cabling or link system. There are
large economic incentives to merge the telephone
network with the computer network system using a
single unified system of cabling, signal distribution and
management.
The advent of the computer is recognized as the
third revolution in education. The first was the invention
of printing press: the second, the introduction of
libraries: and the third, the invention of computer.
Through computer technology, educators saw the
amplification of learning along computer literacy.

The Personal Computer (PC)

as ICT
In 21st century, a
distinction merged owing to
the advent of
microprocessor, also known
as the personal computer.
This is due to the fact that
the PC user at home, office
and school has before him a
tool for both audio-visual
creations and media
communication.

1. INSTRUCTIONAL MEDIA
Consist of audio-visual aids
that served to enhance and
enriched the teaching and
learning process.
2. EDUCATIONAL COMMUNICATION
MEDIA
It comprises the media of
communication to audiences
including learners using the print,
film, radio, and television or
satellite as a means of
communication.

THE COMPUTER AS TUTOR

The computer is one of the

wonders of human ingenuity,
even in its original design in the
1950s to carry out complicated
mathematical and logical
operations. With the invention of
the microcomputer (now also
commonly referred to PCs or
personal computers), the PC has
become the tool for programmed
instruction.

COMPUTER-ASSISTED INSTRUCTION (CAI)

It is an interactive instructional technique

whereby a computer is used to present the
instructional material and monitor the
learning that takes place.
The term is often used interchangeably
with Computer-Based Instruction (CBI),
Web Based Instruction (WBI), ComputerAssisted Learning (CAL), ComputerEnriched Instruction (CEI), and Web

METHOD OF DELIVERY:
Drill-and-practice
Opportunity for the learner to practice material an unlimited number of times
Material being practiced often presented before the training session
Provides feedback and explain how to get the correct answer
Provides children with practice on concept that they have already learned
Tutorial
Combines presentation of material with drill-and-practice, games, or a simulation to
emphasize material and assist in learning
Most popular method of Computer Assisted Instruction
Games
Use the instructional material to create a contest for the learner
The learner can complete against his own personal best, the computer, or other learners
while mastering the material.

Simulation activities
Provides a real-life scenario with the material to be learned being applied as it
would in the real world
Simulation provides safety of learning environment
Discovery
Provides the learner with an opportunity to draw his own conclusions
Presents learner with a wealth of material on a topic and allows the learner to
seek answers on his own
Problem solving
Presents material in such a way as to develop problem solving rationale
Mainly used in children to develop problem solving skills

Even with the available computer and CAI

software,
The TEACHER must:
Insure that students have the needed knowledge and skills for any
computer activity
Decide the appropriate learning objectives
Plan the sequential and structured activities to achieve objectives
Evaluate the students achievements

Role of the STUDENTS:

Receive information
Understand instructions for computer activity
Retain/ keep in mind the information and rules for the computer
activity
Apply the knowledge and rules during the process of computer

Role of the COMPUTER:

Acts as a sort of tutor (the role traditional played by the
teacher)
Provide a learning environment
Delivers learning instruction
Reinforces learning through drill-practice
Provides feedback
Simulation programs
Simulation software material are another kind of software
that is constructivist in nature

CONCLUSION
Today, educators accept the fact that the computer has indeed
succeeded in providing an individualized learning environment so difficult
for a teacher handling whole classes. Computer is able to allow individual
students to learn at their own pace, motivate learning through
challenging virtual learning environment, assist students through
information needed during the learning process, evaluate student
responses through immediate feedback during the learning process and
also give the total score to evaluate the students total performance.
Computer will not replace the teacher, they only help to have a quality
learning. The computer can be a tutor in effect relieving the teacher of
many activities in his personal role as classroom tutor. It should be made
clear, however, that the computer cant totally replace the teacher since
the teacher shall continue to play the major roles of information deliverer
and learning environment controller.
