A case study in developing the ICT skills for a group of mixed abilities and mixed aged learners at ITEP in Dubai-UAE and possible future RFID implementations

ICT has a major role in the education process in the classrooms for both students and teachers. Many IT educational projects has been conducted to improve the ICT skills for learners as it became a major key role in education since the use of computers and Internet. Many cases studies have been implemented to determine the outcome of these ICT educational projects in developing the ICT skills, knowledge and awareness. In this paper we will discuss the results and outcomes for a case study which we conducted in one of the major IT educational projects (ITEP) in Dubai-UAE. We will also discuss the questionnaires and self evaluation forms which were used to determine the three skills based learners groups. We present the results of this case study supported by charts and statistics to determine the outcome and development in the ICT skills and understanding which occurred after ITEP was implemented. Also we recommended the implement RFID technology in the labs during the ICT session in the future to overcome some of the issues and problems occurred.
