Digital teaching is rapidly being accepted as one of the criteria of a progressive, innovative, and leading higher educational institution. Of course ,the internet enabled technologies have created a new paradigm of learning which can allow teachers and students to teach and learn collaboratively via web-designed activities.
Despite the existence of the varied number of significant challenges, digital teaching has an important role in the enhancement and development of students’ critical thinking. The academic institutions that wish to develop e-learning initiatives must be receptive to implementing effective ICT strategies to support student learning.
• managing self
• relating to others
• participating and contributing
• thinking
• using language, symbols, and texts (Ministry of Education, 2006, pages 11–12).
A 'cut-and-paste culture' has been on a rampant increase. Google and its relatives give us the ease with which any of us can locate and save information. August 1, 2010 — New York Times sounds the alarm in "Plagiarism Lines Blur for Students in Digital Age"
Research identifies effective teaching as the most significant within-school factor that contributes to
student achievement (Alton-Lee, 2003). Effective teaching for all students through e-learning will depend on teachers:
• having the opportunity to explore ICT and to become confident and capable users of it;
• being supported by leaders at all levels of the system;
• having access to a wide range of relevant, high-quality educational content.
e-Learning can contribute directly to the development of all of these competencies, and increasingly, these competencies are applied in ICT-rich contexts for all students. Today’s students have grown up with computers, video games, email, the Internet, and cell phones. Such technologies have always been a part of their lives (New Media Consortium, 2005). They are as comfortable with these kinds of technology as previous generations were with radio and television.
