The Impact of New Learning Technologies in Education

Abstract

Discusses the changing role of information technology in education to where it is now – a tool for use across the curriculum with increased networking of computers. Reports a 30 per cent increase per annum since 1985 of computers in schools. Looks at the challenge posed by the use of new technologies in education and training, the implications of the National Curriculum, NVQs and local management of schools. Argues the need for schools and colleges to adopt an increasingly strategic approach and for ongoing staff development.
