  1. ILT IN TEACHING AND LEARNING

  2. What Does ILT Stand for? • Information and Learning Technology It is the term used to refer to the specific set of uses to which colleges apply computer-based information technology ILT PUTS THE LEARNING IN IT!

  3. What are the Differences? • IT (Information Technology) • ICT (Information and Communication Technology • ILT (Information and Learning Technology)

  4. IT • refers to the hardware, software and skills that surround a single stand-alone computer or laptop

  5. ICT • Machines are networked together allowing communication with others on the network and in the outside world via e-mail and the Internet. • The computer is a tool for performing tasks and communicating with others. • ICT is defined as the interconnection of stand-alone computers across and between institutions

  6. ILT • Is the application of IT/ICT to the core business of further education • ILT ‘puts the Learning into IT’ by the use of ICT to deliver learning materials/experiences and may extend to: • on-line guidance • assessment and recording of progress • traditional/off-line learning or support

  7. support differentiation ILT can help to: develop thinking skills motivatelearners

  8. Going interactive ILT resources do not necessarily improve the quality of delivery, just as a good textbook does not necessarily make the teaching any better The real potential of ILT is to empower practitioners to be creative with their existing resources Because a good practitioner is at the heart of good learning A skilled practitioner with few IT skills can produce imaginative, creative and effective resources by focusing more on the teaching principles than on the technology The availability of new types of resources and new types of interaction can satisfy different learning preferences and present alternative ways of accessing the same information

  9. Display Screen Technology (DST) • The collective name for software and hardware that enable practitioners to use digital resources in face-to-face sessions with groups of learners eg • interactive whiteboards or similar devices (such as mimio™ ) • plasma displays or other large monitor/television screens • data projectors

  10. Uses of DST in Teaching • Practitioners can now replace the traditional blackboard or whiteboard with a more interactive focal point. By connecting the computer to one of these devices they can use DST to: • give presentations • demonstrate spreadsheets and data handling • deliver content from web pages • run multimedia and CD-ROMs • explain and illustrate software.

  11. Benefits of DST in Teaching • It captures the attention of learners • It makes the curriculum area come alive • Learners show increased motivation • Learners enjoy the interaction the technology offers • Practitioners can use software, multimedia and the Internet with large groups of learners

  12. Definitions of E-Learning • Several key organisations have been working on definitions of e-learning: • 'E-learning is the effective learning process created by combining digitally delivered content with (learning) support and services (The Open and Distance Learning Quality Council ) • 'E-learning refers to learning activities that involve computers and networks. (The Internet and intranets are considered networks.) E-learning does not require learning materials to be delivered by computer, but computer and networks must be involved in this type of learning (Susanna Tsai and Paulo Machado of the InkiTiki Corporation, Hawaii)

  13. 'E-learning is learning with the help of information and communications technology tools (Post-16 E-Learning Strategy Task Force) • 'DEL (distributed and electronic learning) can be represented as a spectrum ranging from Internet-supported distance learning in which the learner has limited physical contact with the tutor or other learners, to teacher-led, classroom-based activity which is interspersed with occasional computer-delivered or facilitated assignments (The LSC’s Distributed and Electronic Learning Group (DELG))

  14. 'The use of electronic technology to deliver, support and enhance teaching and learning’ (Education and Learning Wales (ELWa))

  15. Common Factors • It is a debate that is very much on going. There are at present only two common factors in all of the definitions available: • that it involves the use of IT (the 'e-') • that it is used for part of a developmental process (the 'learning').
