The debate is no longer whether to use information and communication technologies (ICT) in education in Africa but how to do so, and how to ensure equitable access for teachers and learners, whether in urban or rural settings. This is a book about how Africans adopt and adapt ICT. It is also about how ICT shape African schools and classrooms. Why do we use ICT, or not? Do girls and boys use them in the same ways? How are teachers and students in primary and secondary schools in Africa using ICT in teaching and learning? How does the process transform relations among learners, educators and knowledge construction? This collection by 19 researchers from Africa, Europe, and North America, explores these questions from a pedagogical perspective and specific socio-cultural contexts. Many of the contributors draw on learning theory and survey data from 36 schools, 66000 students and 3000 teachers. The book is rich in empirical detail on the perceived importance and appropriation of ICT in the development of education in Africa. It critically examines the potential for creative use of ICT to question habits, change mindsets, and deepen practice. The contributions are in both English and French.

IFIP TC3 - the International Federation for Information Processing's Technical Committee 3 - is concerned with Education and Information Technology. The educators and computer professionals in TC3 are involved with both perspectives on the subject, i.e. the role of information technology in supporting education, and the educational needs of an informatics society. This anthology, a selection of papers from the last twenty-five years, is arranged in ten sections. Each section covers a particular aspect of Informatics and Education, aiming to be: - characteristic of contributions in that domain - illustrative of the changes in technology and perception - indicative of the various cultural and economic concerns - representative of all TC3 publications over the period.

Cet ouvrage se propose de combler l'absence de contenu standard fixé par la communauté universitaire ainsi que l'absence de support dans les matières "Architecture et système d'exploitation" en apportant les éléments nécessaires à la connaissance de base d'un ordinateur et à son utilisation. En effet, contrairement à l'Europe, les étudiants de certaines régions des pays africains n'ont pas de contact scolaire fréquent avec l'ordinateur avant d'atteindre un niveau scolaire avancé.
