DESCRIPTION
This book concerns how ICT can create new, open learning environment and their instrumental role in shifting the emphasis from a teacher-centred environment; where teachers move from being the key source of information and transmitter of knowledge to becoming a collaborator and co-learner; and where the role of students changes from one of passively receiving information to being actively involved in their own learning. It also indicates that efforts to ensure equal access to educational opportunities and quality education for all must be accompanied by wide-ranging education reforms.
