Practical Use of ICT

E-LEARNING & CONTENT DELIVERY

the motivation effect that comes about due to embracing ICT in teaching and learning is a common factor. One can attend classes and access learning materials remotely, without having to travel to the learning center.

COMPUTER AIDED PROGRAMS

These are ICTs that come customized to address a particular special need of a student be it blindness, deaf, dumb making the students able to learn and communicate via the programs

SIMULATIONS

Computer simulators and prototypes can be used to perform the rather impossible experiments on the subjects which seemed impossible to be done in the labs especially in the field of medicine and engineering.

Challenges By Women in ICT

Gender Inequality

40 percent of women with a degree in one of the tech fields reportedly either never enter their field or drop out within five years. I believe it. I had lots of young women colleagues when I first entered the industry. Most soon vanished. Jane Lansing is vice president of marketing at Emerson Process Management in Bloomington, Minn.

Mentorship Access

There aren’t enough visible mentors and role models for women who are interested in computer science.
