effective classroom based on computer

From the observation of Bangladesh community, it seems that the following policy initiatives are important conditions and facilitators of ICT-based learning and distance education:


1. Government awareness of the importance of ICTs for national education: This demands understanding that a) information and communications technology are vitally important to the development of the economy and to participation in the global information society, with a corresponding need to develop appropriate skills, and b) ICT based learning and distance education can play a crucial role in broadening access to education for the whole society.

2. A strategic plan or policy: This must be based on an analysis of needs and priorities for the use of ICT to improve education. Key elements and concrete steps of such a strategic plan are:

• ICT skills integration in national curricula

• Equipping schools with computers & internet

• Initiatives and programs, which invite and attract private sector involvement

Two other conditions are important for the success of ICT-based distance education in Bangladesh. These are the presence of local participation and initiative, and serious considerations regarding the self-sustainability of projects.
