Implications of Information Technology for Education Technology

Development of Information Technology has been so urgent transform computer-based education concept (Computer Based Education-CBE) into information technology-based education. Information technology can integrate computers and internet facilities as well as other information systems into tools that empower the teaching and learning process more creative and competitive.
Use of Information Technology for education will shift the nature of the university introvert (conventional university) into a more proactive extrovert. Similarly with education units unit smaller e.g. Faculty, Department, study program even to themselves lecturers and students.

Media and technology education in the developing world along with the development and technological progress. In education there are 5 essential elements of the media; direct human contact (face to face), text (including graphics), audio, video and computing.
Educational technology courses that many businesses do come into contact with innovation and new ways of enhancing the effectiveness of learning will be strongly influenced by the development of information technology including computers. Reflect the growth of the use of technology since 1980 continue to grow as DVD (Digital Video Disc), video conferencing, electronic mail, computer conferencing, computer multimedia base, Interactive remote data bases and so on. Educational Technology courses at the importance of integrating computer-based courses into the new curriculum. Computers have strategic value and impact on all the tools and learning media in both audio and video.
Campus-based Modern Information Technology: What is needed?
Advantages of information technology for students to have a logical consequence of policy support, high commitment and visionary views of all parties. Policies should be oriented to the superior human resource development efforts in the field of Science. Commitment is based on that technology is expensive but this assumption is not always true. Physical development is often more expensive because they require large maintenance costs. Physically-oriented development in higher education institutions are usually based on the classic reasons for the limitations of the classroom implementation of conventional classroom learning. Did not realize the front face of conventional that learning be replaced less decentralization learning more through interactive CDs, web base and other information technology devices. Is not there needs to be oriented to the development of IT such as increased spending media of software and hardware up to date? This is what requires foresight that the existence of future students will be determined whether the current-controlled studies can help skills in the future?
Computer Learning Reflection
In the Faculty of Education has available a computer lab of the quantity ratio is not fulfilled by the individual learning needs of students that the average number of each class while the number of computers 30 of about 20 fruits. Not all computers can be used because there are a couple who sometimes have errors. LAN network system seems less effective, in which the use of new software that requires installation must be repeated for each computer because the software on the master server is inaccessible for installation by any user. Availability of specialized technicians that handles the computer lab into an urgent need and should be full-timers. Technicians are not only dealing with the damage but also to manage, assess and make Envisioning the various software and hardware in the future. Computer learning requires practice and training that takes time and requires adequate visualization aspect in providing examples of executing commands in a particular program. This will be easy to do if there is a LCD so that all students can follow the same interface visualization and practice. Not very effective when supervision should be done to each individual.
