APPLICATION OF ICT IN TEACHING, LEARNING AND SERVICES

The development and application of digital competencies as an influencing element on the educational system at all levels is of critical significance within the context of the information skills development programs being established by the EU.

This fellow program is targeted at examining the advantages of different ICT tools utilized by tertiary institutions focusing on the difficulties they encounter when integrating ICT into teaching and learning. Determining how educational staff, administrators, and students contribute to the integration of ICT into tertiary institutions is a further goal.

This fellow program consists of a series of reading regarding:

1. How to measure impacts of ICT in teaching and learning.
2. Several related ToT’s that have been developed within the INVEST European University alliance and are related to innovative ICT tools (software) to assist in educational aspects.
3. Management use of ICT in synchronous and asynchronous teaching.

The reader can download the material and explore several aspects of the aforementioned issues using the links below.
