eVision Why? What if we decided to do nothing? To enhance eTeaching and eLearning

What is the Problem? Learners performing poorly – the worst in the world? Learners from poor communities performing more poorly Learners not having appropriate skills Learners are disengaged, disinterested and not active learners, with little curiosity and thirst for knowledge Teaching corps insufficiently skilled for effective world-class teaching School leavers not adequately prepared for the 21 st century world of work and life-long learning

Vision… Effective integration of ICTs into teaching and learning activities that promotes deep learning experiences for learners that will lead to… Improved learning outcomes; Better prepared learners for the 21st Century world of work and life-long learning

Internet Inter-connectivity (Collaborate) CONNECTIVITY

FROM TO PROGRESSION MAP

IF… 1. Create an enabling environment with a shared WCED-wide e- learning culture 2. Provide the necessary technology, connectivity and related infrastructure and support systems to use ICT in learning, teaching and admin 3. Provide learners with the necessary technology and resources that enable a learner-centred approach 4. Increase the use of technology by learners in both learning and assessment activities 5. Equip and support teachers and education managers to use technology effectively and innovatively 6. Increase the use of technology by teachers in all aspects of teaching 7. Provide up to date digital content that is responsive to the needs of teachers and learners 8. Reduce the manual administration towards more effective planning and management

17 Effective integration of ICTs into teaching and learning activities that promotes deep learning experiences for learners that will lead to… Improved learning outcomes; Better prepared learners for the 21st Century world of work and life-long learning. THEN WE WILL SEE…
