Abstract :

The emerging Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and its development in recent years have provided educational researchers and authorities with a highly resourceful and competent means to revolutionize and improve teaching and learning methods and extend their reforming goals. Deployment of this technology requires comprehensive investigations to recognize weaknesses, strengths, opportunities and threats of our educational system, characterize the existing and desired situations and design master and detailed plans toward educational objectives. The first step in this regard is to distinguish the multi dimensional roles of ICT in socio-cultural and economic situations of our society. Upon justification of these roles, the subsequent studies and research activities can be directed and organized successfully. This paper is an attempt to draw a comprehensive model of ICT roles in our educational system.
