Rationale and Aim
The use of information and communication technology (ICT) such as Internet applications, CD-ROMs, video technology and various computer attachments and software programs is an integral part of education.

But majority of the teachers use ICT to support existing ‘traditional’ pedagogical practices(teacher-centric, lecture-based, rote learning). It must be used as well as to enable more learner-centric, ‘constructivist’ learning models.

The use of ICT in appropriate contexts in education can add value in
teaching and learning, by enhancing the effectiveness of learning, or by adding a dimension to learning that was not previously available. ICT can also be a significant motivational factor in students’ learning, and can support students’ engagement with collaborative learning. - This course is intended to enable
student-teachers to recognize, understand and appreciate ICT as an effective learning tool
