    The document discusses the impact of information technology (IT) on formal and informal education. It argues that while the term "global village" is outdated, IT has created virtual worlds for education where communication is "many to many" rather than "one to many." This has implications like the need for lifelong learning and upgrading skills through informal education, as well as learner-centered rather than teacher-centered models of education.

    The impact of IT on formal and informal education

    Knowledge is power
    Francis Bacon, 16th Century Philosopher

    Knowledge is NOT Power, Knowledge APPLIED is Power


    Anthony Robbins, Motivational Author

    Discover and disclose human potential


    Human being virtually has unlimited power. Education discloses this power. IT empower education to fulfill its mission.

    No Global Village anymore


    The term global village does not describe today's world accurately. The world of computer screens is more appropriate. The need for informal education is increasing. It is not clear yet whether IT will replace formal education with informal one.

    Virtual worlds of education

    Virtual course, virtual teacher, virtual classroom, virtual library, virtual high school, and virtual university. One to many communication replaced by many to many. People are the interactive agents, not passive receptors.

    Implications

    Need for life-long education. Need for upgrading skills by informal education. Need for learner-centered education, not teachercentered. Need for self-learning. Need for enhancing information literacy. Need for academically specialized, accredited portals.
