Abstract
Education plays a vital role to develop the nation culturally, economically and socially. That is why every nation has main focus on this sector. For its improvement all endeavours are being made through formal education, non-formal and distance education.
The trend of distance education has developed considerably in developed countries and developing countries. Information Technology plays a pivotal role for the development of Distance Education. Keeping in view, study was developed to investigate the use of information technology in distance education.
Population comprised of the I.T users; persons were helping, operating or supervising the IT tools as Planners, accamidicians, designers, programmers, producers, operators, regional directors was taken as one sample while 100% of Deans population was taken as second sample. For investigation all the related material/ reports profile of the concerned distance organization were studied and questionnaires were also developed on five points rating scale after the consultation of different scholars. The questionnaires were distributed by hand and by post. The collected data was tabulated and analyzed. Conclusions drawn from the study are as under:
The use of IT is still limited. Computer net work was not used for distance learners, radio, T.V. programmes and relevant material audio, videocassettes were prepared and CDs, software still not prepared. University library was not computerized. Staff got training from time to time in IT education in their specialization. But there is need to make IT system more sophisticated according to new trends and students’ needs.
There is also need to develop regional centres, which should serve as resource centres to the facilitation of distance learners.
Key Words: Information Technology, Application, Distance Education
Introduction
The development requires the participation of the whole segments of society including men and women, young and old, rural and urban. Obviously the survival of a country in the present era is impossible without enhancement of education. Pakistan is a developing country and currently facing a lot of problems.
