DEFINITION AND MEANING OF ICT
Definition of terms:
ICT is an acronym that stands for Information and Communications Technology
Information is data that has been processes to be meaningful to the receiver.
Communication is the process of sharing ideas, information, and messages with others in a
particular time and place. It could be verbal or non-verbal.
Technology is a general term for the processes by which human beings fashion tools and machines
to increase their control and understanding of the material environment.
Therefore, ICT can be seen as the convergence (merging) of telephone networks with computer
networks through a single cabling or link system to transmit information from one place to another.
ICT also refers to technologies that provide access to information through telecommunications.
Modern information and communication technologies have created a "global village," in which
people can communicate with others across the world as if they were living next door.
On the other hand, ‘information technology (IT)’ is the study, design, development,
implementation, support or management of computer-based information systems particularly
software applications and computer hardware. IT deals with the use of electronic computers and
computer software to convert, store, protect, process, transmit and securely retrieve information
electronically.
Information Technology can also be defined as the processing and distribution of data using
computer hardware and software, telecommunications, and digital electronics. Products of ICT
include personal Computers (PCs), digital television, email, robots, tablets, ipads, etc.

• Satellite Communication

SHORT ANSWER QUESTION

(i) Define and Explain ICT
(ii) List the types of ICT

BROADCASTING
Broadcasting is the distribution of audio and video content to a dispersed audience through a
medium such as radio, television, etc. The original term ‘broadcast’ refers to the literal ‘sowing of
seeds’ on farms by scattering them over a wide field. Broadcasting forms a very large segment of
the mass media.
Broadcasting to a very narrow range of audience is called ‘narrowcasting’.

Types of Broadcasting
(i) Radio Broadcasting: is an audio (sound) broadcasting service, broadcast through the air as
radio waves from a transmitter to an antenna and therefore to a receiving device. Broadcasting may
be via AM (Amplitude Modulator) or FM (Frequency Modulation) stations. It is a unidirectional
wireless transmission over radio waves intended to reach a wide audience. Stations can be linked in
radio networks to broadcast a common radio format. Broadcasting by radio takes several forms.
These include AM and FM stations.

(ii) Television Broadcasting: Digital television broadcasting is the transmission of audio and
video by digital signals (1s and 0s) while analogue transmits audio and video using analog signals
(signals with varying amplitude or frequency). Broadcasting on TV is usually on VHF (Very-High
Frequency) or UHF (Ultra-High Frequency). It is a telecommunication medium used for
transmitting moving images in monochrome (black-and-white), or in color, and in two or three
dimensions and sound. The term can refer to a television set, a television program ("TV show"), or

www.deeperlifehighschool.org …leadership with distinction

the medium of television transmission. Television is a mass medium for entertainment, education,
news, politics, gossip, and advertising.

(iii) Satellite TV System Broadcasting: is a service that delivers television programming to

viewers by relaying it from a communications satellite orbiting the Earth directly to the viewer's
location. The signals are received via an outdoor parabolic antenna usually referred to as a satellite
dish and a low-noise block down converter.

A satellite receiver then decodes the desired television programme for viewing on a television set.
Receivers can be external set-top boxes, or a built-in television tuner. Satellite television provides a
wide range of channels and services. It is the only television available in many remote geographic
areas without terrestrial television or cable television service.

TOPIC: Communication Systems

(d) Telecommunications: Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN)-Land line, Mobile Phone
System (GSM), Circuit Switched Packet Telephone systems (CSPT), Satellite telephone system &
Fixed Wireless Telephone system

TELECOMMUNICATIONS
Telecommunications is the exchange of information over significant distances using electronic
medium such as telephones, cables, telegraph, etc. it is any system that is used for communicating
over distances.
Units of Telecommunication
A basic telecommunication system consists of three primary units that are always present in some
form:
• A transmitter that takes information and convert it to a signal
• A transmission medium, also called the ‘physical channel’, that carries the signal
• A receiver that takes the signal from the channel and converts it back into usable
information.

TYPES OF TELECOMMUNICATION SYSTEMS

(i) Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) (Landline)
(ii) Mobile Phone System (GSM)
(iii) Circuit Switched Packet Telephone Systems (CSPT)
(iv) Satellite Telephone System
(v) Fixed Wireless Telephone System
PUBLIC SWITCHED TELEPHONE NETWORK (LANDLINE)
PSTN is the network which allows any telephone in the world to communicate. It consists of
telephone lines, fibre optic cables, microwave transmission links, cellular networks and any other.

www.deeperlifehighschool.org …leadership with distinction

MOBILE PHONE SYSTEM (GSM)
This is also known as Global System for Mobile communications (GSM). GSM is a digital cellular
phone technology based on time division multiple access (TDMA). GSM digitizes and compresses
data, then sends through a channel with two other streams of user data, each in its own time slot.
The GSM can be used for voice communications, text messaging, data transfer, etc.

CIRCUIT SWITCHED PACKET TELEPHONE (CSPT)

Circuit Switching is a telecommunications technology by which two network nodes establish a
dedicated communications channel (Circuit) before the nodes may communicate. The circuit
remains connected for the duration of the communication session. The circuit functions as if the
nodes were physically connected as with an electrical circuit.

www.deeperlifehighschool.org …leadership with distinction

Satellite Telephone System
This is a type of mobile phone that connects to orbiting satellites unlike mobile phone that get their
signals from a typical mast. An example of this device is Thuraya. They provide similar
functionality to mobile telephones; voice, short messaging service and low-bandwidth internet
access are supported through most systems.

Fixed Wireless Telephone System

Fixed wireless refers to wireless devices or systems that are situated in fixed locations, such as an
office or home, unlike mobile devices like cell phones and PDAs. They do not require cables or
wires for transmission of data; they transmit signals through the air.

www.deeperlifehighschool.org …leadership with distinction

The advantages of fixed wireless include the ability to connect with users in remote areas without
the need for laying new cables and the capacity for broadband width that is not impeded by fiber or
cable capacities.
Examples of fixed wireless telephone system operators in Nigeria are: Multilinks, Starcomms,
Zoom and Visafone.

Fixed Wireless Terminal - Telular Model SX3E.

TOPIC: Communication Systems

LESSON OBJECTIVES
• Data networks
• Information systems:

DATA NETWORKS
Data networks are telecommunication networks that are operated for the exchange of information
between data communication devices such as computers. Data networks can transfer any type of
digital media such as voice, text, or video in the form of data from one device to another. Data
network is a telecommunications network that allows computers to exchange data.
TYPES OF DATA NETWORKS
1. Personal Area Network (PAN) - This is a computer network organized around an
individual person. An individual connects his mobile computer, cell phone, or handheld computing
devices such as PDA together in the network. This could be inside a small office or residence. This
type of network provides great flexibility. For example, it allows you to:
• Send a document to the printer in the office upstairs while you are sitting on the couch with your
laptop.
• Upload a photo from your cell phone to your desktop computer.
• Watch movies from an online streaming service to your TV.

If this sounds familiar to you, you likely have a PAN in your house without having called it by its
name

www.deeperlifehighschool.org …leadership with distinction

 2. Local Area Network (LAN) – This include a group of computers in close proximity to each
other, such as in an office building, a school, or a home. A LAN is useful for sharing resources like
files, printers, games, or other applications. If you would want somebody just walking outside to be
able to send a document to the printer from their cell phone! If a local area network, or LAN, is
entirely wireless, it is referred to as a wireless local area network, or WLAN.

3. Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) – This type of network extends throughout a city or a
large campus. Depending on the configuration, this type of network can cover an area from several
miles to tens of miles. A MAN is often used to connect several LANs together to form a bigger
network using a high-capacity backbone technology, such as fibre-optical links. When this type of
network is specifically designed for a college campus, it is sometimes referred to as a campus area
network, or CAN.

www.deeperlifehighschool.org …leadership with distinction

4. Wide Area Network (WAN) –This type of computer network spans across a large
geographical area, such as state, province, or country. WAN often connects multiple smaller
networks such as LAN or MAN.

5. INTERNET – Internet is a data network that spans all over the world through satellites and
telephones, connecting users with services such as e-mails and the World Wide Web (www). The
internet has made it possible for people all over the world to communicate with one another
effectively and almost inexpensively.

Some of the different networks based on their main purpose are:

• Storage area network, or SAN

• Enterprise private network, or EPN
• Virtual private network, or VPN

www.deeperlifehighschool.org …leadership with distinction

INFORMATION SYSTEMS
An information system is a set of interrelated components that works together to collect, process,
store and breakdown the information to support decision making.
Types of Information Systems
i. Data Processing System
ii. Global Positioning System.
Data Processing System: This is a computerized system that performs mathematical operations on
input- data to transform it into the output (audio, video, graphic, numeric or text) form desired by a
system user.
Global Positioning System: Global positioning system (GPS) is a network of 24 well spaced
satellites that orbit the earth and make it possible for people with ground receivers to pinpoint their
geographic location. People with GPS receiver device can use it to locate them exactly where they
are on the earth. Some mobile phones come with GPS application. With the GPS you do not need to
ask for direction when locating a place, the GPS can direct you.

WEEK FIVE
TOPIC: Application areas of ICT in communication

LESSON OBJECTIVES:

• Application of ICT in communication

• Application of ICT in education
• Application of ICT in business

SUB TOPIC 1: APPLICATION AREAS OF ICT IN COMMUNICATION

1. Teleconferencing: A teleconference is a telephone meeting held between two or more locations
through a telecommunications system. Technical terms like telephone conferencing, phone
conferencing and audio conferencing are sometimes also used to refer to teleconferencing.
In a teleconference, audio-only or audio-video data can be transmitted via one or more different
telecommunications means, such as telephone, computer, television, radio, telegraph and
teletypewriter.
Particularly, internet teleconferencing includes video conferencing, web conferencing, internet
telephone conferencing and augmented reality (AR) conferencing.
Teleconferencing is an interactive group communication between three or more people in two or
more location through an electronic medium. This is made possible by the provision of land line
telephone and GSM network.
It supports the conference by providing both the video and voice, so that you can absolutely see the
person when you are listening to the communicator.
Teleconferencing is capable of transmitting the data during the conferencing either using traditional
PBX systems or VoIP
2. Video Conferencing: Video conferencing is the conduct of a videoconference by set of
telecommunication technologies which allow two or more locations to communicate by
simultaneous two-way video and audio transmission. It has also been called visual collaboration
and it’s a type of groupware. Videoconferencing (or video conferencing) is the conduct of a video
meeting among two-person or more people in separate places by means of computer networks to
transmit both audio and video data. Video conferencing supports the conference by providing both
the video and voice, so that you can absolutely see the person when you are listening to the
communicator. It offers VoIP services. It can also enable you to share more information like files,
applications, whiteboard and etc.

 3. Tele-Presence: Tele-presence refers to a set of technologies which allow a person to feel as if
they were present, to give the appearance of being present, or to have an effect of being present via
tele-robotics at a place other than their true location. Tele-presence is like video conferencing
except that it is more advanced and offer more details.

1. Telecommunication and Networking: This is a collection of terminals, links and nodes which
connect to enable telecommunication between users of the terminals. Each terminal in the network
has a unique address so messages or connections can be routed to the correct recipients. The
collection of addresses in the network is called the address space.

2. Tele-computing: This is the control of one’s system by another person at a different location. No
need carrying your computer for some software installation and maintenance. Through remote
networking, somebody from a distance can remotely take over your desktop and do an installation
or correct whatever needs to be corrected.

3. Messaging: Sending a letter through regular postage is outdated. Development in ICT has made it
possible to send messages through the internet and telephone network. Such messages are received

www.deeperlifehighschool.org …leadership with distinction

immediately they are sent. It is now common to send instant messages which are known as
‘chatting’. This is communicating live with somebody through text, pictures and even video.

SUBTOPIC: 2 APPLICATION AREAS OF ICT IN EDUCATION

1. Computer Based Test (CBT): This allows students to write exams using the computer and other
ICT-based gadgets.
2. Online Registration: It makes registrations to be done virtually online without need to go to the
registration points to register physically.
3. Blogs and social networks: It gives us the possibility of creating work groups where students
expose or discuss different topics, publish content related to the subjects, etc.
4. Planning through tools: calendars and task managers are very useful to schedule exams,
deliveries, create workflows, etc.
5. Data storage in the cloud: It allows us the possibility of working collaboratively, accessing
from any device and from any place. Some of the tools that use this technology are office packages,
storage, etc.
6. Digital whiteboards and interactive tables: whiteboards allow projecting and controlling
images from a computer, making notes and comments, and saving and / or sending the screen by
email. The interactive tables give the possibility for the students to interact directly with the
surface.
APPLICATION AREAS OF ICT IN BUSINESS
1. E-Commerce: Ecommerce is a method of buying and selling goods and services online. The
definition of ecommerce business can also include tactics like affiliate marketing.
2. Online-Transaction: Online transaction is a payment method in which the transfer of fund or
money happens online over electronic fund transfer (EFT). Online transaction process (OLTP) is
secure and password protected. Three steps involved in the online transaction are Registration,
Placing an order, and, Payment.
3. Tele-Marketing: Telemarketing is the direct marketing of goods or services to potential
customers over the telephone, internet, or fax. Telemarketing may either be carried out by
telemarketers or increasingly by automated telephone calls or "robocalls."

WEEK SIX
TOPIC: Basic Computer Operation
LESSON OBJECTIVES:
• Description of the booting process.
• Types of booting: cold &warm
• Components of the windows desktop Icons, Task bar, Background
• Running an application program – e.g. Microsoft Word
• The Process of shutting down the computer.

SUBTOPIC 1: DESCRIPTION OF THE BOOTING PROCESS

Booting is the process of starting or restarting the computer system. To boot (to boot up, to start up
or booting) a computer is to load an operating system (OS) into the computer's main memory or
RAM. Once the OS is loaded (for example, on a PC, you will see the initial Windows or Mac
desktop screen), it's ready for users to run applications. It is simply the process to load the first
piece of software that starts a computer.
Because the operation system is essential for running all other programs, it is usually the first
piece of software loaded during the booting process. During the booting process, the binary code of
the operation system is loaded from non volatile secondary storage (such as a hard disk drive) into
volatile memory (RAM) and then executed. The booting concept is known as “Initial Program
Load”.
TYPES OF BOOTING
1. Cold booting
The start-up of a computer from a powered down, or off state is referred to as cold booting. It is
also called hard start. This is a method where computer is strictly on off state or position waiting for
the user to start it up by pressing ON switch button. At this stage, computer goes through complete
booting process by loading codes from the secondary storage into the primary storage and then
executing them.

2. Warm booting
Warm booting refers to restarting a computer that is already turned on via the operating system.
Restarting it returns the computer to its initial state. A warm boot is sometimes necessary when a
program encounters an error from which it cannot recover. On PCs, you perform a warm boot by
pressing the Ctrl+Alt+Del keys simultaneously. On Macs, you can perform a warm boot by
pressing the restart button.

SUBTOPIC 1: Components of the windows desktop
The Start menu and Start button are user interface elements used in the various versions of
Microsoft Windows operating systems. The Start button provides a central launching point for
application and tasks.
Traditionally, the Start menu provides a customizable nested list of programs for the user to launch,
as well as a list of most recently opened documents, a way to find files and get help, and access to
the system settings. Later enhancements via Windows desktop update included access to special
folders.
Windows Desktop
The desktop offers many features that make using your computer easier. You can easily start
programs or applications, copy and move files from one place to another, and drag and drop files
and program where you want them on the computer or even on to a program’s icon to open a file.
1. ICON
On the desktop, small pictures that represents a file, program, or other objects or functions known
as icons. Icons are representation of objects and can be found on the desktop, taskbar, Start menu,
and throughout window.
The Start menu starts programs, opens documents, and access most parts of the system. Window
can be customized as needed.
2. Task Bar

The task bar is the horizontal bar at the bottom of the screen. The task bar is visible almost all the
time except otherwise customized, unlike the desktop which can get obscured by the window on
top of it. It has four main sections:
1. The Start button, which opens the Start menu;
2. The Quick launch toolbar, which lets you start programs with one click.
3. The middle section, which shows you which programs and documents you have opened and
allows you to quickly switch between them.
4. The notification area, which includes the clock and icons.

www.deeperlifehighschool.org …leadership with distinction

 3. Window Background

Desktop background (also called wallpaper) can be a digital picture from your personal collection
or one that comes with windows. You also select a coloured for your desktop background or use a
colour to frame your background pictures.
The background of window desktop can take any colour or design. We have different types of
background depending on the choice of the user.
RUNNING AN APPLICATION PROGRAM
Starting a Program
The Start menu is gateway to all of the programs on your computer. To open Start menu, click on
the Start button.
To start a Microsoft word for example, follow the following steps.
a. Click Start menu, and select Microsoft Office
b. A list of package appears, click Microsoft word.
c. A work space will appear, click you can begin to input data.
The Process of shutting down the computer
When you are done using your computer, it is important to turn it off properly- not only to save
energy, but also to ensure that your data is safe, and to help keep your computer more secure. Best
of all, your computer will start quickly next time you use it.
To shut down your computer, follow the steps below:
1. Close all open windows or running programs.
2. Click the start button and then click shut down.
3. When you click shut down, perhaps you forgot to save changes, the document windows
prompts you to do so. S screen message helps you to safely turn off your computer.
