Use of ICTs: To Promote Good Teaching and Learning Practices in Higher Management Education

Teachers in higher education are struggling with rising expectations about graduate capabilities, diversifying intake, increasing pressure on time and a dizzying proliferation of technology options. The use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) has become an integral part of teaching practices. The work involved in designing good learning tasks is becoming more complex. This is partly because of the changing needs of the knowledge. Society is placing greater demand on the ability of graduates to work with knowledge in more versatile ways. The use of ICTs in good teaching and learning has become inevitable. The use of educational technologies for higher education has a number of potential benefits, from increasing access to education and flexibility of teaching, to enhancing communication and providing more opportunities for student collaboration, and creating rich learning environments. In recent years there has been a groundswell of interest in how computers, Internet and technologies like Web 2.0 can best be harnessed to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of education at all levels and in both formal and non-formal settings. Various ICTs and their effective and efficient use in promoting good teaching have been discussed in this paper. Keywords—WBLT, Web 2.0, Blogs, YouTube, Wiki, Learning Design, Pedagogy
