This study aims to analyze and explain how the implementation of distance learning during the COVID-19 pandemic by first graders teacher. How the learning process  was held, what information and communication technology was used, how was the preparation, what obstacles are faced by the respondents. The research method used a case study of descriptive qualitative approach with a phenomenological paradigm. The research subject is the first grade teacher of SDIT Al Iman Bintara. Data collection techniques using observation and questionnaires conducted online. Data analysis used descriptive statistics, with stages of data reduction, data presentation and conclusions. The result of the research is that the implementation of distance learning at SDIT Al Iman Bintara is running well according to the policies and technical implementations made by the school. The most widely used information and communication technologies during distance learning are Zoom, Edmodo and WhatsApp. The use of information and communication technology makes it easier for respondents in teaching activities, because previously respondents had attended special training from schools. Although 100% of respondents are used to using it every day, there are still obstacles that occur, such as internet signals that are not supported (disconnected/disappeared) or signal struggles with fellow teachers at school; internet packages for educators from the government that are not enough to use for one month when teaching from home; the material presented is less understandable by students, especially when there is a signal problem, which makes students no longer want to continue learning even though the signal is smooth again

Even though open and distance learning (ODL) using Information and Communication Technologies can be applied across disciplines and at various levels, this paper focuses on the supervision of PhD students studying through the Open and Distance Learning mode of education using Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). Taking into account the fact that higher education institutions are always striving to increase the quality of supervision and throughput of doctoral programmes, the study highlights how Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) can mitigate these challenges. The study was carried out in 10 Zimbabwean universities to evaluate the levels of preparedness of universities, supervisors and PhD students in using information and communication technology during their studies. Purposive sampling was used focusing on PhD students studying through ODL, local universities offering PhD programmes experienced, PhD supervisors, the Zimbabwe Council for Higher Education officials and officials from the Ministry of Higher and Tertiary Education, Science and Technology Development. Students, universities and supervisors were not fully prepared to do their work using ICTs due to various reasons. Some of the reasons given were that some universities did not have the required infrastructure and facilities in place. Some of the supervisors and students lacked basic computer skills and this affected the quality of supervision and slowness in giving feedback. The lack of internet availability and poor connectivity were also cited as challenges especially with the prevailing load shedding. The study recommends universities to invest in ICTs infrastructure since higher education transcends geographical boundaries.

Information and Communication technologies (ICT) play a significant role in the educational process becoming a powerful tool of interaction between teachers and students; computer applications are used to present useful teaching resources and to improve knowledge of students. This article aims to examine the educational policy of the Republic of Kazakhstan within the framework of Information and Communication technology implementation. In this regard, we analyze the level of computerization of schools and universities in Kazakhstan, the teachers’ competencies, and computer literacy of population. Based on data and information from official documents, reports, and official sources of education, we concluded that the Government of Kazakhstan tries to create the “digital society” and to increase the quality of education using ICT. The results of the analysis reveal that Kazakhstan make greater effort on using ICT in the education process and the policy is aimed at increasing the number of computers in schools, opening new specialties at the universities related to information and communication technologies, as well as enhancing computer literacy of the population. However, due to the lack of funding and the comprehensive work on the training and retraining of teachers, the low speed of the Internet in some regions of the country, this process needs to be improved.

Timely availability information is considered as most important factor in Indian agriculture. At present ICT is the technology of this millennium. Transferring the developed technology to all end users is time-consuming and tiresome task and is often not completed due to paucity of resources and lack of manpower. In India, agriculture and rural development has gained significantly from ICT due to its widespread extension and adoption. In this era of internet, ICT is committed to provide real, timely accurate authentic information to the farmers and rural peoples.
