dc.description.abstract |
It seems traditional training methods are no longer able to satisfy learners' learning needs and experiences. Although most of today's learners use some form of information technology in their learning, they are actively encouraging their learning environments to be value-adding and more stimulating. Tomorrow's learners will demand access to more technological and media resources and will depend on their university's ability to deliver.
This introductory presentation explores the reason why tertiary institutions should be actively involved with electronic learning and information technology. The advantages of asynchronous and synchronous instructions are addressed while the communication profiles of developing, least developed and selected Southern African countries are mentioned. Special attention is given to some factors which inhibit electronic learning at our tertiary institutions. Finally, recommendations are made for the optimal use of information technology to enhance learners' learning experiences. |
