The document discusses how information and communication technologies (ICT) are changing education. It finds that ICT have had a positive impact on education, especially higher education, by making learning more accessible and flexible. While face-to-face instruction remains important, online and blended learning are gaining ground. Younger students, known as the "Net Generation", are heavily using technologies and have different learning needs and expectations. Effective implementation of ICT in education requires aligning technologies with pedagogical approaches. Looking ahead, education will increasingly focus on collaborative and personalized learning supported by more visual and ubiquitous technologies.

•
To sum up
People are using more devices (mobile, tablets, laptops).
Are more connected through the Internet (broadband).
•
Are consuming Internet in a social way and are using multimedia resources.
•
Young people are using these devices and connection in a more intensive
way than other generations and are using them for learning purposes.

ICT IMPACT IN SECONDARY
EDUCATION
➡
Few studies comparing ICT access and equipment internationally.
➡
Almost all educational institutions are equipped with at least one computer, have Internet connection,
and the ratio of students per computer is decreasing.
Still being disparities between countries and between the opportunities for using ICT at home and at
schools.
➡
-40% of countries promote the use of online learning.
➡
Teachers' use of ICT hardware and software in the classroom is widely encouraged,, they use ICT to support
existing pedagogies.
➡
In several countries computers are still not readily accessible to students in the classroom.
➡
ICT has a positive impact on learning.

➡
Division between teachers’ practices (copying, listening, class discussion, taking notes and computer work) and
students’ preferences (teamwork, practical activities, working with friends, use of the computer and copying).
➡
Smallest ratio of students per computer (3 students per computer), the integration of ICT in the USA is
more extended than in Europe.

17. ICT has had
impact in HE?
Which use and
acceptance of
e-learning in
OECD
countries?
ICT IMPACT IN HIGHER
EDUCATION
(+)
➡E-learning is growing.
➡e-learning has positive effect on the quality of teaching and learning.
➡ICT is changing the learning experience of students regarding time, space and
access to information.
(-)
➡More studies in USA than in Europe.
➡Face-to-face remains central, e-learning is supplementary.
➡E-learning has not revolutionised learning and teaching because ICT still being used as
operational tools.
➡More focused on technologies instead of knowledge access and building.
➡ICT has more impact on administrative service than on teaching and learning.
➡Resistance among the faculty members is still one of the key barriers.
➡E-learning is not less costly (high cost of software development, face-to-face tutorial
support, and infrastructure costs).
➡State or national governments play a significant role in the strategic direction and
funding of e-learning.
➡The priority now is to find a way to mainstream e-learning and maximise its
impact in the classroom.
OECD (2005)

18. ➡Technology has had and will have significant impact on
higher education
➡Online learning is gaining a firm foothold in
universities around the world
➡University respondents view technology as having a largely
positive impact on their campuses

Is e-learning better
than face-to-face?
Has technology
had impact on HE in
the world?
➡Students
in online conditions perform better,
especially, if they are guided, offering them media to control their
interactions and prompting reflection.
➡Blended learning is better than face-to-face
learning if include a variation in terms of curriculum materials
and instructional approach.
Means et al. (2010)
Technologies are becoming more ubiquitous, social,
personal, open and based on cloud computing. Also
game-based learning, augmented reality and semantic
applications are having a great impact. However, the main
emerging technology for learning seems to be the mobile
phone.

introducing new methodological approaches),
➡ To learn better (using technologies to personalize learning)
➡ To learn in a different way (using technologies to facilitate the
acquisition of 21 century skills).
Which tools
will we use?

27. CONCLUDING REMARKS
➡Education
needs to change to respond to the needs of the
Information Society and Net Generation.
➡Young people are leading the change in the Information Society by
using technologies intensively to communicate and to learn.
➡Teachers need to be encouraged to use ICT more effectively (to
change).
➡We should promote techno-pedagogical designs.
➡Policies (and research) should be better linked to developing practices.
➡ICT are creating and impacting change in learning, but more
knowledge is needed.
➡Research need to look for international and qualitative approaches to
analyse the effective use of ICT and its impact on learning processes
and outcomes.
