ICT for active learning by Haile Demessie
Information is becoming perpetually principal to the developing economy. Higher institutions heavily depend on information for the attainment of their foremost objective, which is, building the capacity of the student mass. We found our selves in the era of information without which life is becoming increasingly demanding.
The medium for transmitting and receiving information in other words communication is achieved with the help of modern electronic communication. This technology ensures information transfer and dissemination bidirectional.
In regard to this electronic distance education or eLearning has a great impact in educating the people at work or at home encompassing all rages of age groups. The special advantage of this learning Technology is that learners accomplish their studies on their own time and pace.
Developing countries like Ethiopia has currently a very strong position to benefit from this technology. A number of ICT deployments are ongoing in the country. The spacious fiber optics telecommunication backbone set up encompassing great distance across the major cities and rural area of the country is one of the remarkable turning points which would assist all sectors of the economy. In connection with this, the WoredaNet, a Network which encompasses some six-hundred districts all over the country is expected to contribute a lot in connecting the public by building their capacity. The university Net in Ethiopia is one of the national networks which would take the lion’s share in the active learning processes for building the capacity of the mass.
Finally, eLearning is becoming an integral part of the new University curriculum and the country is get ready to embark on the implementation of this new curriculum. Pilot eLearning course modules are taking place at the University of Addis Ababa, Faculty of Technology. The other institution which has no less embarked on this piloting stage is the Ethiopian Civil Service College. The effort made by other private higher institution putting in place eLearning is also an inseparable part which I want to mention at this point of time.
