A conceptual framework for implementing e-education in KwaZulu-Natal
Abstract
dc:description.abstractThis is a dissertation presented on the development of e-education in KwaZulu-Natal, beginning with the dawn of the e-education process, covering its development and rate of penetration in previously disadvantaged rural, urban and township areas. The study investigates the problem of applying Information Communication Technologies (ICTs1) in education in the context of KwaZulu-Natal. The first part of the study reviews theories and literature relevant to understanding and defining e-education and the nature and scope of e-education worldwide. Subsequent chapters describe the construction of a survey instrument employed to measure and evaluate the extent of e-education in KwaZulu Natal, and the findings of the survey. Penultimate chapters blend the insights gained from this literature review to interpret the results, obtained through the quantitative research methodology, to describe a set of conclusions and recommendations in the context of applying Information Communication Technologies in the formal learning environment in KwaZulu-Natal.
