How ICT can enhance student learning

Information and Communication Technologies- 'ICT'- should be referred to as two separate things; Information Technology and Communication Technology. However, it has evolved to the point now where the two have become merged. 'ICT' is the two network systems working together. These networks can dramatically enhance the learning process for all types of students. ICT has provided a means in which people from remote areas with little or no access to standard educational settings can be provided with educational resources through the internet and phone conferencing. People with certain disabilities that do not allow them to access standard education facilities can use ICT to become educated. The fact that technology is developing so rapidly, and there is more of an emphasis on a good education, society is much more understanding and supportive of the fact that education needs to be delivered through different means: ICT being the most resourceful and ultimately, the most cost effective and available.
