IN OUR EVERYDAY LIFE: Why must we read ? | Le Mauricien - 3 views

read why must I

  • it is material to underscore the role that a good book can play in the training and the development of an individual. I have tried to enumerate some of the reasons, there may be more, behind an intelligent and purposeful reading : 1)     Reading drives away our ignorance to make room for knowledge. 2)     Reading helps us build up a fuller personality. 3)     Reading makes us a complete citizen. 4)     Reading helps us to think and feel more fully. 5)     Reading helps us to visit many places and meet celebrities at second hand. 6)     Reading helps to build up our vocabulary for comprehension and expression. 7)     Reading is a stepping stone to writing. Writing means reading. Qui dit écriture, dit lecture. We must read to write. 8)     Reading provides us with a skeleton key with which we can open many doors. 9)     Reading is sine qua non to succeed at school. It is an integral part of the learning process. A reading child is an asset in class while an unreading one is a liability. 10)     Reading spares us from becoming a pawn on the chessboard of witty and intelligent persons. It is not easy to fool a man of wide reading. 11)     Reading broadens our minds with the pleasures of great literature. It opens new windows on the world. 12)     Reading helps us outgrow our opinions and ideas, and learn other people's points of view. 13)     Reading brings us far into the past, keeps us abreast with the present and prepares us for the future. 14)     Reading is the basis of a child's education and the enhancement of man. 15)     Reading helps to relieve the tedium of everyday life and kill the time.

  • eLearning has the potential to play a pivotal role in the transformation of the delivery of quality education across the continent.
  • has to shift from one that is highly dependent on physical infrastructure such as schools and colleges, physical learning materials, and in class education delivery to one that makes extensive use of interactive education technology.
  • ...13 more annotations...
  • Africa has the highest growth rates in eLearning in the world for four out of the five self paced eLearning products and services, including packaged content, custom content development services, cloud-based authoring tools, learning platform services, installed authoring tools, and installed learning platforms.
  • there are three central challenges that continue to exist which hinder effective implementation of eLearning in Africa.
  • Internet Access / Connectivity.
  • Availability Of Locally Developed Content And Curriculum Online.
  • Training And Professional Development.
  • South Africa’s peak connection speed was measured at 16.8 Mbps in the first quarter of 2015, giving it a world ranking of 112th.
  • A large proportion of the educational software produced in the world market is in English.
  • where English language proficiency is not very high, especially outside urban areas, this represents a serious barrier to eLearning. There are significant challenges in terms of language patterns and local language usage (especially in serving the youngest populations), and as such there is a need for locally developed content.
  • Teachers on the continent have been brought up in education systems with limited technology and they find it difficult to utilize technology to engage and support learning.
  • A huge challenge is to develop and implement training and professional development for teachers so they may embrace teaching with technology and understand the benefits of teaching with technology as a way to advance the academic outcomes of students
  • In South Africa, Microsoft has trained over 31,000 teachers and school leaders on ICT integration with the aim of enhancing teaching and learning and having an impact on nearly 4 million learners. Over 800 trainers from the South African Department of Education have been trained to roll out, scale and sustain the Microsoft Partners In Learning program.
  • The goal of delivering a high quality education to every child in Africa remains unfulfilled, but technology presents an opportunity for this to be a reality
  • Africa is an emerging market for eLearning, however the continent continues to lag behind developed economies in the effective implementation of eLearning. What are the key challenges that have to be taken into account when implementing eLearning in Africa and what strategies are being applied to overcome these challenges?

SA schools falling off the e-learning deep end | Fin24 - 2 views

  • Few schools in South Africa have the ability to roll out effective e-learning programmes because of a lack of understanding of these platforms, says an industry insider
  • many South Africans schools, and the authorities that govern them, are misinformed as to what e-learning actually is,” Ian Light, chief executive of Eiffel Corp, told Fin24.
  • ...12 more annotations...
  • Eiffel Corp is an e-learning specialist and Light said that the lack of local understanding of the process makes it difficult to define the exact number of schools that have effective programmes in place.
  • some of the biggest barriers to schools having a successful e-learning ecosystem is the lack of a well-planned teaching and learning strategy that incorporates technology, a lack of funding to invest in online platforms to administer and deliver e-learning content as well as the complementary subsidising of network data and connectivity infrastructure at places of learning,” said Light.
  • In Gauteng, Education MEC Panyaza Lesufi has spear-headed the provincial e-learning programme in which the paperless education system is expected to cost around R17bn.However, the programme has had challenges with a number of devices stolen.
  • More than 100 smart boards have been stolen in our schools since the installation in July 2015 of the ICT programme in the Grade 12 classrooms in 377 schools
  • But a critical component is the training of teachers to manage the delivery of the curriculum through technology tools.
  • it should be clear that the training (perhaps we should call it up-skilling) of teachers is a massive task
  • expensive and a labour intensive
  • But unless it is done in tandem with the roll-out of technology devices in schools, there will be minimal return on the technology investment," Kobus van Wyk recently told Fin24.
  • Van Wyk is the chief executive of the Associated Distributors of Educational Supplies in Southern Africa and managed the Khanya Project for a decade.
  • “South Africa needs strong, committed national leadership and complementary government policy to foster innovation and direct efforts to encourage teacher skills growth in this area,” said Light.
  • Poll that revealed more than half of school children said they knew more than their teachers about the use of tablets and computers for learning.
  • for e-learning to be effective and assist with bridging the divide for all learners, it needs effective planning that integrates with sound, measurable academic practices, cheap and reliable data connectivity as well as committed, long term funding from government,” said Light.
