This paper reports on an analysis of the change caused by an e-textbook implementation in a school in South Africa. The PSIC model, a change model from ICT enabled change in organisations, was considered because it affirms existing educational research, but also extends it by recognising the episodic nature of change. On a vertical level the model allowed the researchers to identify and disting...

Yet a number of trends seem to portend deep change in how the textbook is conceived and used. Few instructors are satisfied with the textbook: “It covers too many topics, it does them in the wrong orde...

We describe our approach to enabling hands-on experiential robotics for all ages through the introduction of a robot programming workbook and robot test-bed.
