摘要：The onslaught of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), especially from the mid-1980s onwards, has, over time, changed the working environment of all the professions. The introduction of ICT into various professional activities has forced these professions to reexamine the base of their skills and competencies necessary to perform effectively and successfully. In turn, this re-thinking has had critical implications for educators, curriculum, and practitioners at the same time. Such a re-examining and re-thinking exercise, if successfully carried out, should lead to the complete re-structuring of the curriculum in the light of innovations in ICT, renewal of present educators, and continuing professional development of existing practitioners.
