| Summary: | At first glance, content issues related
to information and communication technologies (ICTs) use in
education might seem to some to be of minor importance.
After all, access to the internet means access to an entire
world of educational resources. Access to the internet
provides access to seemingly endless sets of educational
resources and indeed it does. However, experience shows that
there is a dearth of educational resources in a format that
makes them easily accessible and relevant to most teachers
and learners in least development countries (LDCs),
especially as they relate to a given country's current
curriculum. Experience tells us that, unless electronic
educational resources are directly related to the
curriculum, and to the assessment methods used to evaluate
educational outcomes (especially standardized testing), lack
of appropriate and relevant educational content is actually
an important barrier to ICT use in schools. |
