Our Slogans
“Learn to use & Use to learn“
From “learn to use” to “use to learn”
![Page 5: Grassroots duplicibality e la 2010 final](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070304/54c7c8a94a7959af2c8b4570/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Outcomes
By the end of the session participants will: • Have been exposed to a large number of practical
experiences of how an individual teacher or lecturer can use ICT in education in an innovative way at grassroot level
• Have explored how you could use some of these practical experiences in your own context, whether it being a western university or a community school teacher from a rural area.
![Page 6: Grassroots duplicibality e la 2010 final](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070304/54c7c8a94a7959af2c8b4570/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Outcomes cnt.
• Have explored which aspects of the grassroots concept have helped to motivate and inspire lecturers and teachers.
• Have discussed ideas on how to organise a similar project in your own context, whilst maintaining the values of grassroots: appreciate, support, guide and reward.

Target Group
• ‘Grassroot level' • ‘Educators’ who would like to learn how to inspire others
or be inspired themselves to start using ICT in education in an innovative way.
• organisations or policy makers supporting (educational) institutions.
• comparing an advanced level, of Delft University of Technology to a similar project at beginners level of Colleges of education and community schools in Zambia
Conclusion: all levels are welcome.

What is grassroots?
• Staff support and development related to ICT in Higher Education

Why grassroots?
• Stimulate lecturers, with little or no experience with ICT, to get a feeling for using ICT
• Increase the use of ICT in education in your institute
![Page 16: Grassroots duplicibality e la 2010 final](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070304/54c7c8a94a7959af2c8b4570/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Workflow grassroots
1. Tender: call for grassrootprojects
2. Jury selects grassrootprojects - groups
3. Teachers carry out their grassrootproject – educational and technical support
4. Dissemination of results and rewarding teachers

What kind of grassroot project would you come up with?
![Page 21: Grassroots duplicibality e la 2010 final](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070304/54c7c8a94a7959af2c8b4570/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Example Social software group
Problem:
100 students had to do a design assignment within the same theme, but students never saw eachothers work and teacher needed a lot of time to monitor the process
Solution:
wiki: each student has a page to present their own design. Students visit eachothers sites and give feedback. So students learn from each other and see diversity to approach a theme: inspiration!
![Page 22: Grassroots duplicibality e la 2010 final](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070304/54c7c8a94a7959af2c8b4570/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Example wiki
![Page 23: Grassroots duplicibality e la 2010 final](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070304/54c7c8a94a7959af2c8b4570/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Example wiki
![Page 24: Grassroots duplicibality e la 2010 final](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070304/54c7c8a94a7959af2c8b4570/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Example Laptops group
Problem:
System dynamics: ca 100 students.
Students were not able to apply theory from lectures into the computer practicals which were scheduled some days later.
Solution:
Laptops to integrate the teaching methods lectures and computer practicals. Knowledge is applied immediately. More students passed the exam.
![Page 25: Grassroots duplicibality e la 2010 final](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070304/54c7c8a94a7959af2c8b4570/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Example Activate with ICT in class group
Problem:
470 students, how to activate and interact with
such a large amount of students? They even
didn’t fit in one lecture room (max 300 students).
Solution:
Turningpoint Responseware software which allow students to respond to MC questions by using their mobile phone or laptop, combined with clickers and recorded lectures. Students are more involved and activated. More discussions in class. Offers teachers immediate feedback.

Example Gaming & simulations group
Problem:
Students didn’t understand the basic concept behind the enery market. Game (pen and paper) proved to be helpful. But very time consuming for teacher.
Solution:
Game transformed into a game played via the Internet. Groups of students run an enery company. More realistic, less time consuming for teacher although great insight in learning process.

ICT USE IN COMMUNITY SCHOOLS
• At a very beginning stage• School administration and records keeping• Pupils entry for national exams• Planning lessons• Basic use of educational software e.g. Wikipedia,
geogebra, encarta...
![Page 38: Grassroots duplicibality e la 2010 final](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070304/54c7c8a94a7959af2c8b4570/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
CHALLENGES OF ICT IN COMMUNITY SCHOOLS
• Under funded schools, which might compromise sustainability of ICT use
• Poor physical infrastructuture and no power supply in most of the community schools
• Too expensive access to internet • Lack of experience in ICT integration in education• Lack of ICT technicians in rural areas
![Page 39: Grassroots duplicibality e la 2010 final](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070304/54c7c8a94a7959af2c8b4570/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)

Summary of similarities between Delft and Zambia
In both case studies:
• successful grassroots project took place.
• Grassroots projects are based upon individually motivated teachers, or lecturers who choose to explore a specific tool for the use of ICT in the classroom.
• They received expert guidance .
• They received a motivational reward.
![Page 56: Grassroots duplicibality e la 2010 final](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070304/54c7c8a94a7959af2c8b4570/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Shared Successes
• Empowered ‘proud’ lecturers• A lot of enthusiasm and commitment• Others want to have a project too!• Proof of practices changed in the classroom• Students are positive• Marketing, it’s an appealing concept
![Page 57: Grassroots duplicibality e la 2010 final](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070304/54c7c8a94a7959af2c8b4570/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Some differences DUT/Zambia
• Low cost – High impact (DUT)• High turn over Lecturers (Zambia)• Outsourcing of work (Zambia)• Internet/ email access (Zambia)• Role of the mentor (Zambia)
