An Overview of Technology and Learning

Information and communication technology (ICT) has been used in schools since the 1980s, but the advent of the World Wide Web, along with increases in computing power in low cost and portable forms, has made use of ICT much more prominent for learning. ICT is being used to support teaching, learning, and assessment. Current technology trends with the potential to further change learning practices include the increasing availability of open-source course content on the Internet; the rise of collaborative, user-generated content; and immersive, multi-user games with highly realistic dynamic graphics. Coupled with the rise in young people's access to technology outside of school, these trends are likely to make ICT an increasingly important factor in learning.
