Information and communication technology (ICT) which includes radio, television, newer digital technologies such as computers and the Internet - have been touted as potentially powerful enobling tools for educational change and reform. When used appropriately, different ICTs are sad to help expand access to education, strengthen the relevance of education to the increasingly digital workplace, and raise educational quality by, among others, helping make teaching and learning into an engaging, active process connected to reel life.
The effective integration of ICT into the higher educational system is a complex, multifaceted process that involves not just technology - indeed, given enough initial capital, getting the technology is the easiest part - but also curriculum and pedagogy, institutional readiness, professor competencies, and long - term financing, among others.
One of the most commonly cited reasons for using ICT in the classroom has been to better prepare the current generation of students for a workplace where ICT, particularly computers, the Internet and related technologies, are becoming more and more ubiquitous. Technological literacy, or the ability to use ICT effectively and effidently, is thus seen as representing a competitive edge in an increasingly globalizing job market
Improving the quality of higher education and training is a critical issue, particularly at a time of educational expansion. ICT can enhance the quality of education in several ways: by increasing learner motivation and engagement, by facilitating the acquisition of basic skills, and by enhancing professor skills.
