To
achieve the above initiatives and need of Media Technology in teaching and
learning, the following are the Media Technology resources available to
teachers and students to effect the integration of Media Technology into the
teaching and learning process (Adegbamigbe, Kayode-Ishola and Lesi, 2009:86):
1. Computer
Aided Instruction (CAI): Computer Aided Instruction (CAI) is an individualized
method of instruction in which a computer is employed and a student is required
to interact with the computer in a teaching and learning environment. According
to Eshiet (1991), one basic fact about CAI is that it recognizes individual
differences and as a result treats them differently.
2. Multimedia:
The ability of computer to combine sound, images, graphics, video and text in a
single presentation is regarded as multimedia. Multimedia has given educators a
tool in creating educational materials, which may include cartoons and
animation sequences cheaply and easily. Okundaye (1998) opined that multimedia
is creating room for ingenuity and genuity of ability.
3. Distance
Learning: Distance learning is not a new concept. This is experiencing learning
outside the structured classroom setting through television, correspondence
courses, radio, and so on. It is any form of teaching and learning in which the
teacher and students are not in the same place at the same time. Components of
distance learning in today’s Media Technology such as e-mails and interactive
software have also been useful in additions to the educational settings.
4. E-Learning:
E-Learning most often means an approach to facilitate and enhance learning
through the use of device based on computer and communication technology, such
devices would include personal computers, CD-Roms, Digital television, cameras
and mobile phones. Communication technology enables the use of the internet,
e-mail, discussion forums and collaborative software.
5. Web-Based
Instruction: The web-based instruction uses the internet and the worldwide web
(www) as the main proponents to deliver the materials and resources for one
course. Course information is gathered from the internet through browsing and
the materials gathered are used for the course.
