The application of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) is  already changing the organization and delivery of higher education. The  pedagogical and socio-economic forces that have driven the higher  learning institutions to adopt and incorporate ICTs in teaching and  learning include greater information access; greater communication;  synchronous and asynchronous learning; increased cooperation and  collaboration, cost-effectiveness and pedagogical improvement. However,  ICTs have not permeated to a great extent in many higher learning  institutions in most developing countries due to many socio-economic and  technological circumstances. This podcast  discusses new learning and  training technologies considering their pedagogical, cost and technical  implications. It also discusses challenges for integrating these  technologies in higher learning institutions with examples from  Tanzania, and giving best practice approaches for addressing each of the  challenges.
