Knowledge Society for ICT
The term Knowledge Society refers to a society
where knowledge is the primary production
resource.
A society where people use and share knowledge
for their well-being can be called a knowledge
society.
Education is of huge importance in the knowledge
society- because innovation and development
depend on the knowledge gained by education.
Thus, using education, innovations can be made
which contribute for the development of the
society.

Changing Role of Educators to promote Literacy
Ways in which educators will guide learners in
ICT environment
1. Learner - There is continuous progress in the
field of Science and Technology. New hardware and
software are developed. Learner must keep his
knowledge up-to-date.
2. Planner - The maximum use and benefit of the
computer is possible when proper planning and
execution of it are strictly followed.
3. Teaching - Computer Aided Teaching (like TAT,
Technology Aided Teaching at MT), is important.
Every student should use software for effective
learning.
4. Examiner - Examinations are a crucial part of
education. Setting of question papers, unit
tests, preparation of question banks, etc. can be
done with the help of ICT.

ICT and Challenging skill requirements
The use of ICT in education requires Basic,
Advanced and Complex Communication Skills for
creating presentations and other media or virtual
content.
E.g. You need skills to make this PowerPoint
presentation.
Hence, education system needs to develop and
establish methods for teaching and evaluating at
all levels of education.
Basic Skills
Reading because computer technology increases
the rate of economic exchange.
People need jobs and the use of abstract models
because of computerization offers plenty of them.
Computer studies includes mathematics and
therefore has turned many people into the
mathematics community.
Advanced Skills
This includes expert thinking, the ability to
solve and discuss problems that, unlike algebra,
lack explicit rule-based solutions.
Complex Communication Skill
Making effective use of collected information
from sources available on the internet. E.g.
Using pictures on the internet in PowerPoint
Presentations.
Learning e-based applications.

i. Explain the scope of ICT.
Ans. Education is an ongoing process and is not
confined to schools universities and other
traditional centres of education. ICT expands
educational opportunities and promotes
educational changes in the following ways. a)
The WWW is a vast resource for knowledge for
students and teachers. Anybody with access to the
internet can search for information on a variety
of topics. b) Open Universities, Distance
Education and Online Education opportunities mean
that even those who are employed can still pursue
studies at a place and time of their
convenience. c) Television is a great tool for
communicating knowledge to students by showing
difficult experiments, farmers by showing
advanced agricultural techniques and also medical
professionals can benefit by showing advanced
surgical procedures on Television. d) Books,
reference material and also tests can be made
available on CDs, DVDs and other digital media
for use of students from KG to PG (Postgraduate)
level. e) Tests can be conducted Online thus
reducing the need for trained examiners,
invigilators, moderators and also minimizes the

3. Answer the following questions.
iii. What are challenging skill requirements?
Ans. Widespread computerization and Globalization
have created new jobs for which new skills need
to be developed. As Knowledge societies grow, the
work force needs to be skilled in information and
communication techniques. The skills that need to
be developed can be broadly classified as Basic
Skills and Advanced skills. The Basic Skills
include knowing how to read and write clearly and
also mathematical ability. The use of computers
involves the use of abstract models to carry out
the job efficiently.The Advanced skills include
expert thinking and the ability to solve problems
which cannot be solved using explicit rules based
solutions.Complex Communication skills involve
social interactions and the ability to make
effective verbal and written arguments.

3. Answer the following questions.
iv. Explain the transformative impact of ICT.
Ans. Using ICT, education can be made available
to students at any place or time. This has
brought about a change in the traditional system
of education. a) With classrooms getting
overcrowded, schools are adopting a shift system.
This allows children to spend some time in a
traditional classroom and at other times may be
required to watch educational programs or
complete online lessons. b) ICT allows small
rural or urban schools to offer courses that
would usually require specialized teachers. This
is especially true in the case of Mathematics,
Science or learning of foreign languages. c) The
use of Radio, Television and other multimedia
programs allows sharing of resources between
schools. All schools need not have full time
teachers for all subjects. d) ICT techniques
allows retired or part-time teachers who are
experts in their chosen fields to teach online
courses to students in distant areas.
