13. ICTs and School Curriculum
 ICT as component of Curriculum
(e.g. ICT as a school subject, ICT)
 ICT as medium of Curriculum
transaction (e.g. ICT integrated in
teaching school subjects; use in ODL)
 ICT as tool for Curriculum
planning (e.g. ICT as software tool
for decision making)
 ICT as tool for extending
Curriculum (e.g. Online Learning,
Virtual High Schools, Sharing though
social networks, etc.)

14. ICT as Medium of Curriculum
Transaction in Open School
• Material
development
• Integration of audio
as well as video
materials
• Tutoring and
support
• Assessment

15. Collaborative Material
Development
• Wiki-based approach to material
development
• Possibility of eBook development
• Collaborative content development
• Improves quality as well a monitoring of
material development

16. Open Educational Resources
• OER Paris Declaration
• COMOSA OER Policy
• NIOS OER Wiki
• Open Licensing
• Sharing of materials as
national resources
• Need for national policy
on OER
• Possibility of MOOC
• Developing new models
of teaching and learning
such as OERU

17. Challenges to OER Development
• OER Policy
• Understanding of open
licensing
• Digital divide (access to
technology)
• Capacity building on
OER
• Integrating OER in
teaching and learning
• Quality of OER
