ICT Conventional and Digital Tools in Delivering Technology-Enhanced Lessons, Flexible Learning, and Assessment Tools

• Computers, internet, and smartphones are ubiquitous
• Technology advancements enable distance learning for students in remote or specific situations
• Unit explores how technology enhances teaching and learning through conventional and digital tools.

Digital Learning Resources

• Digital learning resources include materials like software, pictures, audio/video simulations, animations, e-books, and modules.
• Examples of creating tools:
  • Google Docs and Sheets (document/spreadsheet creations, collaboration)
  • Microsoft Office Suite (word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, databases, publishing, OneNote)
• Assessment tools like SurveyMonkey, Google Forms, Plickers, and Hot Potatoes

Conventional Learning Resources

• Flip charts are still useful and effective tools
• Realia (real-life objects) to make learning richer

Key Features of Distance Learning

• Separation of teacher/learner
• Use of ICT/digital resources/print media to connect teacher/learner
• Two-way communication
• Control of learning pace by the learner

Types of Online Distance Learning

• Synchronous: real-time interaction (teleconferencing)
• Asynchronous: learners set their own pace (email, listservs, online courses)
• Hybrid: combines synchronous and asynchronous methods

ICT and Assessment

• Technology assists in tracking student progress and identifying strengths/weaknesses in literacy and numeracy skills.
• Formative assessments, like quizzes, polls, interactive games, and feedback tools, are helpful in evaluating learning process.
• Tool examples include software like Socrative, iClicker, Plickers, the AnswerPad, and GoSoapBox, which collect real-time feedback and assessment data.
