Summary

This section brought to attention the various ways in which computers have been used to mediate and support teachers and learners. In the discussion, we explored how technology is becoming an integral part of the teaching and learning environment providing mediation between learners and the school. Clearly, technology provides another channel for teachers and students to interact in very meaningful ways, and those who have used technology find that teaching becomes effective especially in terms of quality when technology are used sensibly. In this connection, we also studied the potential of computer-managed instruction and computer-assisted instruction in permitting the learners and instructors to explore individualised learning to suit the learning requirements, frequencies and styles of the learner. All in all, with the proliferation of available instructional technologies, exercising the right choice is crucial as it makes all the difference between puzzling content delivery to effective execution of the teaching and learning process.
