Information Technology Applications In Education

The principal function of information technology in education is the preservation of knowledge in a form that is durable, accessible, searchable and easily updated. For the last half-millennium, books have been the technology of choice, but they are clearly limited in several key respects: their durability is challenged by fire and mold, they are only accessible to individuals who are physically present, the ability to search their contents is limited by the quality of the index and the only way to update them is to create more of them. This is an exciting publication and the list of contributors is remarkable. Everyone would genuinely appreciate to finally see a high-quality book that can be of immense value to the researchers, policy planners, educationists and students.
