Supporting Virtual Learning to Improve the Quality of Teacher Education at the College of Education: A Proposed Change Project

Content delivery at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels is predominantly face to face. This mode of delivery is increasingly becoming ineffective in the light of staff shortages, limited teaching and learning resources and increased demand for highly qualified graduate teachers necessary to serve the growing demand for human resources which Tanzania’s fast growing economy needs. The opportunities presented by advances in information and communication technologies (ICTs) have not been explored and harnessed fully by Higher Learning Institutions offering Teacher Education to serve education and training purposes. Developing human resource capacity in the use of ICTs for education coupled with easy access to secure network and cyber infrastructure seems to be the logical step towards establishing the prerequisites for the envisioned knowledge based economy by 2030.
