Title:
ICT
Mediated Learning for Socio-Economic Empowerment. Information
and Communications Technology (ICT) mediated learning provides utilities
for achieving goal of education for all, and in turn acts as an enabler in
reducing the digital divide, plummeting poverty and promoting
socio-economic empowerment. But, the integration of ICTs in education
deserves considerable investment in terms of time and resources.
Consequently, during planning to integrate ICTs in evidence-based
information for making sound decisions by the end users calls for
extensive research and sharing of critical information along different
phases of planning. Furthermore, implementation of ICT based learning
demands in-depth analysis and intelligent feedback from the processes. To
achieve the real success in ICT mediated learning, there need to clarify
major issues surrounding its management, as well as try to adapt best
practices in the developed and developing world. Glimpse of hopes are
there that global leaders are demonstrating notable achievements by
combining technology with new ways of management through which learning
can be made much more effective, efficient, and affordable. However, technology does not improve learning in a straight way and the fundamental question remains always unanswered, in assessing the effectiveness of ICTs or assessing the effectiveness of instructional treatments that were initially (and effectively) less than perfect. The realizations of ICTs on societies remain ambitious, far-reaching and uneven.
