LB#9: Computers as Information and Communication Technology.

Through computer technology, educators saw the amplification of learning along computer literacy. Until the nineties, it was still possible to distinguish between instructional media and the educational communication media. Instructional media consist of audio-visual aids that served to enhance and enrich the teaching-learning process. Examples are the blackboard, photo, film and video. On the other hand, educational communication media comprise the media of communication to audiences including learners using the print, film, radio, distance learning were implemented using correspondence, radio, television or the computer satellite system.

Close to the turn of the 21st century, however, such a distinction merged owing to the advent of the microprocessor, also known as the personal computer. This is due to the fact that the PC user at home, office and school has before him a tool for both audio-visual creations and media communication.
