ICT INTEGRATED TEACHING LEARNING
RESOURCES AND MOOCs

Introduction
Teaching resources is a material that is designed to help facilitate learning and
knowledge acquisition. A teaching resource can take many different forms and will
mean slightly different things to every teacher, parent, and child. But the basic
definition is simple: A teaching resource is a material that is designed to help
facilitate learning and knowledge acquisition. Learning Resources are the materials
that are used for teaching a course. Teaching and learning resources teaching could
be defined as the instruments of presentation and transmission of the prescribed
educational material. These include, amongst others: images, maps, photographs,
sketches, diagrams, films, written material such as newspaper clippings or
articles from scientific and technical literature. Information and Communication
Technology (ICT) in education is the mode of education that use information and
communications technology to support, enhance, and optimise the delivery of
information. It can be defined as all the devices, tools, internet, hardware, software,
content, resources, cell phone, interactive digital content, internet, satellite
communication devices, radio and television services use to create, store, and help
user and provider to interact whenever necessary. ICT can lead to an improved
student learning and better teaching methods.

ICT as teaching learning resources

ICT are basically information handling tools, such as a varied set of goods
application, and services that are used to produce, store, process, distribute and
exchange information. I city includes both old and new tools. Old ICT tools mainly
include radio, TV and telephone. New ICT tools mainly include computers, satellite,
wireless technology and the Internet. ICT not only refers to the latest computer and
the Internet based technologies but also refer to the simple audio visual aids, suggest
slides, cassette and video recorders, radio television and film.

Diverse set of technological tools and resources used to communicate, and to create,
disseminate, store, and manage information.
Rosener( 1997) described IT as a good as, or even better than, traditional
method of teaching and learning as it being limitless of time and space. ICT has
the potential to increase access to education and improve its relevance and quality.
ICT has very strong effect in education and it provides enormous tools for enhancing
teaching and learning.
ICT enable new ways teaching and learning when used appropriately under right
conditions such as suitable resources, training and support.

Uses of ICT in teaching

1. Easily accessible- ICT tool Like mobiles, laptops, digital readers can be
assessed at anytime as per the need of students hence students can learn As for
the need.
2. Can be used remotely- There is no need of attending any school physically
for teachers as well as students. Both can interact and participate in the
teaching and learning process. Village students or any interested children can
learn prestigious institute via online class and distance learning programmes.
3. Interactive content- By digital we can use images, sounds, videos to make
learning process easy an interactive for all the age groups and these also help
to clear the concept of any particular topic or subject and can be used for all of
the subjects.
4. Enhance multisensory teaching – ICT tools helps to engage the learners in
all the possible way by listening, watching an interacting online an create multi
sensory teaching an increase the retention in the learners.
5. Time saving- There is no need to attend the classroom or any formal institutes
for learning and students can attend the class or learn as per their need hence
it saves times
6. Students is in lead position- students can select the content, the teacher,
devices and learn as per their convenience, affordability and needs.
7. Can access numerous books digitally- students can access digital library,
content of their institute, schools and universities, etc. Digitally and remotely.
8. Students can practice difficult task online
( experimentation)- students can perform any experiment online or by using
simulation techniques and thus provides practical knowledge to students for
any difficult or harmful experiment.

 9. Useful for differently abled children and individuals
10. The classroom needs are changing day by day and students are getting
smarter and to deal with their smartness and to fulfil the gap between the
teaching and learning use of ICT is necessary in classroom.
11. ICT are helpful because these are kind of learner centric curriculum.
12. Uniform quality: if content is well produced and is of good quality, then the
same quality can be delivered to the rich and the poor, the urban and the rural
equally at the same low cost. This way of using ICTs can be a great equaliser.
13. Higher speed of delivery and wider reach.

ICT based teaching support is an approach to facilitate and enhance learning through
coma an based on both computer and communication technology. ICT significant in
many ways. It enables flexible learning where Justin time, effective an efficient
learning. The pace is determined by the learner. ICT facilitate collaborative internet
based learning opportunities to the learner.
In ICT teaching methods, there is advantage of having hyper linking. There are
interactive parts that illustrate difficult things. It allows a wider range of learning
experiences, such as there is educational animation to online learners. It also imports
the training through the a synchronous and synchronous communication modes.
Specialised training is rendered through customise software, which addresses the
particular needs of the learner. ICT is a plan efforts towards providing interactive
and experiential learning flexibility in terms of time place and pace, participation
and accessibility, expertise and qualitative subject matter, best resources at the
learners door steps and personalised training and centres around the trainees.

MASSIVE OPEN ONLINE COURSES ( MOOCs)

5
MOOCs have become a popular Avenue for diverse learners to upgrade their
knowledge and skills. a free web-based distance learning program that is
designed for large numbers of geographically dispersed students. MOOCs are
online courses that a student accesses through the internet. Typically, these courses
consist of traditional class materials made accessible online, which may include the
following:

• filmed or recorded video lectures;

• readings;
• problem sets;
• online quizzes and examinations;
• interactive learning modules; and
• interaction with other students via forums.

Typically, each MOOC will include a course provider and a course platform. A
course provider is often a university, which supplies the course materials and
instructors.

SWAYAM is an indigenous Massive Open Online Course( MOOCS) platform for

providing best quality education that can be accessed by anyone, anytime and
anywhere using the IT system. It was launched by government of India to achieve
the three cardinal principles of education – access, equity and quality. SWAYAM
Prabhas is the 32 educational DTH channel s. It has been conceived as the project
for telecasting high quality educational programmes through 32 DTH channels on

6
24×7 basis. Every day, there will be new content of at least 4 hours which would be
repeated 6 times a day, allowing the students to choose the time of his convenience.
For example IIT- PAL which assist the students in the classes 11 and 12 Aspiring
to join IITs. e- Gyankosh- It is a knowledge repository launched by IGNOU in 2005
which aims at storing and pre- serving digital learning resources. Almost 95% of
IGNOU's printed material has been digitized and uploaded on the repository.

ICT in teaching and learning of history

ICT in the teaching learning process can enhance the quality of education in several
ways such as increasing learner motivation an engagement, facilitating an
acquisition of basic skills, an enhancing teacher training. Since history is one of the
major subjects being offered at both secondary and tertiary levels, its relevance an
sustenance in the 21st century require the adequate application of ICT S like Video
tapes, Television and multimedia computer software that combined text, sound and
colourful moving images which can be used to provide challenging and authentic
content bat will not only engage the student in the learning process but as well make
learning concrete.

The role of ICT in the teaching and learning History in the 21 st century can be seen
in many angles like , the impact on teacher, learner and the image of history as a
discipline. Conventional teaching which is still common today in our schools
emphasises content. Through technology facilitated approaches contemporary
learning settings now encourages students to take responsibility for their own
learning. It requires the use of modern technology like-

• Video tape

• Television

• Internet

• CD tape

7
 • Other multimedia

Audio- visual Aids

Audio .visual aids are very valuable in the teaching of all the subject but they are
indispensable in the teaching of history. We cannot represent the past efficiently
without the help of visual aids. Whatever description alone are not enough. If you
present the lesson with the help of models and pictures we shall be able to make the
lesson quite vivid an full of life.
Radio- This is an audio aid. The device holds the attention of the listener whether
they are young or old. A single teacher can address the children of the whole class
at a time therefore this aid is very economical. The radio brings to the pupil the
opinions, ideas and experiences of great masters. A child sitting in a classroom in
any corner of India can hear his popular leader whenever he comes to address the
nation. Radio keeps the individual well informed about the Daily News and current
affairs. A student of history must be wide awake in this respect.
Films, slide projection, Epidiascope and film strips- The cinematography is also
an audio visual aid. It has more educated value than other scientific inventions. It
increases the interest of the pupils in education and motivate them to learn. It
provides increase factual learning in real learning situations. It brings such learning
situations on the screen in the classroom which could not be imparted to the school
in any other way in such clarity. All these devices are recent inventions an have quite
recently been brought into the field of education. They have most of the advantages
of film. They are superior to the film in the sense that more time may be given to a
certain feature during exhibition at anytime for more clarity.

Hence ICT can be used to help students to develop the knowledge and skills that
history demands. It provides them with opportunities to:
• Select and reproduce sources in a range of media.
• Contextualise and interpret sources
• Reconstruct and simulate historical events
• Construct narratives
• Develop, organise and communicate historical thinking.

8
 • Makes learning very interesting.
• Gives teachers access to a wide range of information, historical sources and
media types, which otherwise not be readily available.

Benefits of using ICT integrated teaching-learning Resources

ICT( Information and Communication Technology) is a need of time. It’s necessary

for every teacher to get equipped with the basics of ICT and also to know how to
incorporate it into there lesson plans. Teacher lesson planning is vital when using
ICTs
• ICTs seen as tools to help teachers create more 'learner-centric' learning
environments
• ICTs can be used to support change and to support/extend existing
teaching practices
Pedagogical practices of teachers using ICT can range from only small
enhancements of teaching practices using what are essentially traditional
methods, to more fundamental changes in their approach to teaching.
• The use of ICTs as presentation tools (through overhead and LCD projectors,
television, electronic whiteboards, guided "web-tours", where students
simultaneously view the same resources on computer screens) is seen as the
best way to promote understanding.

Various Challenges

• lack of computers,
• lack of quality software,
• lack of time,
• technical problems,
• teachers' attitudes towards computers,
• poor funding,
• lack of teacher confidence,
• resistance to change,
9
• poor administrative

My experience of using ICT in history

History is a subject which can get boring sometimes. Making our lessons
interesting students is the biggest task. We can do fun activities and role play in
Classes with students but for the effectiveness of the teaching, ICT must be
incorporated into subject.
• Audio – visual aids can be used in classrooms to show any documentary
to students. This way difficult concepts of history can be simplified. Also
by seeing movies and documentary they will enjoy the learning process
and understand the story better.
• Making different games using ICT and playing with students is one of the
most effective way of teaching learning process. Games like crossword
puzzles where names and different events, dates are put into automatically
Crossword puzzles. This can be the best way to revise history.
• Also there are many websites which creates fun quiz for students. I also
know few games quiz like KAHOOT, QUIZIZZ, PURPOSE GAME etc.
Here we can put questions and options, we can also use images. These
games are super fun to play and make our pedagogy very interesting and
learner centred.

10
• It can help in vocabulary building and simplification of subject matter.

CONCLUSION
ICT helps to provide interactive learning experiences. It stimulates an motivate
students to learn. It provides comfort table learning an aids in the understanding of
difficult concepts and process. It caters to different learning styles and help students
to gain valuable computer skills. It also aids in collaboration an group work. The
successful integration of ICT into the learning environment will depend on the
ability of teachers to structure learning in new ways, to merge technology
appropriately with the pedagogy, developed socially active classrooms, and
encourage Co operative interaction and collaborative learning group work. For
many, this requires a different set of skills from those they currently possess. ICT
can be used to help teachers support, or scaffold, the development of historical
Thinking and understanding. Conventional Teaching of History has emphasized
content. Contemporary settings are now favouring curricula that promotes
competency and performance which requires appropriate use of ICTs..
