3.  Information Technology (IT) today is not just a subject that is taught to the youn
ger generation, it has become a vital tool in the delivery of education at every lev
el.
 With PowerPoint presentations, YouTube videos, and online portals, technology is
playing an increasingly important role in college classrooms and lecture halls.
 But are those technologies improving learning?

4. Two main objectives :
 To explore the situation of IT in education
 To rise the appreciation of IT role in education

5. A recent study by David R. Johnson, "Technological Change and Professional Control in
the Professoriate," revealed that the :
 Overwhelming classroom use of software is not in teaching or learning, but in
 classroom administration, and that in general, academic teachers find IT more useful
to record and calculate grades, format and print handouts and exams, and
communicate with students than they do for pedagogy.
 Some Professors Say Technology Helps in Logistics, Not Learning.

6. The four most common mistakes in introducing ITs into teaching are:
 (i) installing learning technology without reviewing student needs and content
availability;
 (ii) imposing technological systems from the top down without involving faculty
and students;
 (iii) using inappropriate content from other regions of the world without
customizing it appropriately; and
 (iv) producing low quality content that has poor instructional design and is not
adapted to the technology in use.

7.  Tools are now available on the Internet to assist both teachers and students to
manage writing assignments to detect and avoid the pitfalls of plagiarism and
copyright violations.
 Digital learning(provide flexibility) which is part and parcel of ICT applications in
education comes in many forms ,These forms include:
 Online Courses: i.e. those courses offered online only.
 Hybrid Courses: i.e. those courses offered mostly online but retain some in-person
elements.
 Blended Courses: i.e. those courses with almost 50/50 blending on face-to-face classroom
based and online lectures.
 Flipped Classes

8. More studies / researches can be and should still be done
in this area.
Focusing on the impact of IT on the teaching process .
Conducting more seminars and meetings on how to use
technology efficiently in pedagogy.
