They also support the management of various aspects of teaching and learning, and facilitate student learning support services such as study and technology skills.</font></p> <p><font size="3">Most of the technologies outlined here may be employed on their own or (more likely) in combination with others, in a group setting (classroom on campus, in the workplace, at a learning centre), or individually (wherever located). Some lend themselves better to one-to-many or many-to-many communications than to one-to-one. Some are free of time constraints (asynchronous); others require teacher and learner to meet at set times (synchronous communication).</font></p> <p><font size="3">Technologies for delivery and management of education and training to the workplace, classroom, learning centre and home can be presently categorised as:</font></p> <h3>Distribution of Learning Material and Information</h3> <div align="center"><center> <table border="2" cellpadding="3" width="80%"> <tr> <td width="50%"><font size="3">Text </font></td> <td width="50%"><font size="3">Print learning materials <br> Web-based resources </font></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="50%"><font size="3">Voice </font></td> <td width="50%"><font size="3">Broadcast radio <br> Audio tapes <br> Voicemail </font></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="50%"><font size="3">Vision </font></td> <td width="50%"><font size="3">Broadcast TV <br> Satellite/pay TV <br> Videotapes <br> Video on demand </font></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="50%"><font size="3">Converged Technologies</font></td> <td width="50%"><font size="3">CD-ROM <br> Computer-based learning material <br> Multimedia Web-based resources </font></td> </tr> </table> </center></div> <h3>Interaction in Teaching/Learning </h3> <div align="center"><center> <table border="2" cellpadding="3" width="80%"> <tr> <td width="50%"><font size="3">Text </font></td> <td width="50%"><font size="3">Fax <br> Email <br> Newsgroups and conferences <br> Postal service </font></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="50%"><font size="3">Voice </font></td> <td width="50%"><font size="3">Telephone <br> Audioconference & interactive radio <br> Audiographics </font></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="50%"><font size="3">Vision </font></td> <td width="50%"><font size="3">Videoconference  room and desktop <br> Satellite/pay TV and talkback </font></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="50%"><font size="3">Converged Technologies</font></td> <td width="50%"><font color="#400040"><font size="3">Interactive multimedia <br> Computer-based learning<br> Classroom teaching </font></font></td> </tr> </table> </center></div> <p align="center"><br> <font size="2">Please add your case studies or comments to this site</font> </p> <p align="center">[<a href="tech1.htm#top">Top</a>] [<a href="feedback.htm">Feedback</a>] [<a href="search.htm">Search</a>]</p> </body>
