The combined functionality of these three technological streams is now embraced by the term of 'information technology' or IT. The advantages of the use of IT in education are many although to some extent the limitations applying this technology are also occurred. This paper presents discussed some impacts of IT in the education. Special reference is made to the situation in Indonesia. INTRODUCTION Access to information has become a key issue in 90's and will remains the same in the near future. On the other hand, there are a number of opportunities arising when the computer technology, communications system, and TV technology are combines. The combined functionality of these three technological streams is now embraced by the term of 'information technology' or IT. Organisations have used computers for administration, for purchasing, sales and many other purposes. The technical (IT) staff are employed to service the need of their own organisation, management and colleagues. In general we all knew that the use of IT is to support organisational strategies, goals, and processes. In education the potential advantages of the use of IT are many. IT may replace some lectures, laboratories and tutorials of the old days. It is also providing resources for learning. The learning process will then be more effective, richer, available for extended hours, and opens to a wider range of student. Students will have greater control over timing and pace, and there will be more likelihood of resources suiting the style and stage of each student learning. From discipline point of view we all aware that most disciplines within the mapping profession, include photogrammetry and remote sensing, are being subjected to rapid changes due to advances in technology. The change may bring some impacts in education system and this includes education in photogrammetry and remote. 1. IT for Education Whether we like it or not the IT such as Internet will play an important role in education. In certain situation IT can probably be more effective than any other media can, for example in dynamic graph drawing. With lectures, students need to absorb material at fixed rate, or make good notes. Note should be made that when it comes to a real implementation both students and their lecturers need to be trained in IT. In addition, both organisation and government are also necessary to learn how to make wise investments in IT for education. Before IT come to the picture, computer Aided Learning (CAL) has been proved to use at the student’s optimum pace. CAL is more accessible, and offers more opportunity for practise on a computer, than in textbooks and lectures. The IT can make teaching and learning more effective and efficient, but we need to invest in its physical and organisational infrastructure, in how to use it, and in integrating IT into the student learning. This includes distance education, distance training and materials as well as distance courses. In this regard all activities will be conducted more flexible and effective (McDougall & Dowling, 1996). Furthermore, because IT is so powerful, it can be used at all level of education and training. IT is also good to drill and to practise, to replace material covered poorly in crowded tutorials, or on an illustrated lecture to improve visual communication. With lectures, students need to absorb material at fix rate, or make good notes. The students being educated in IT is expecting to make full use of productive tools such as (Doughty, 1996): / numerical processing spreadsheet & statistics / programming ■/ word processing / graphic design / database analysis & management / desktop publishing &presentations V electronic mail and file transfer ■/ conferencing •/ gateway to information & data banks / The Internet and the World Wide Web. IT can also provide powerful aids to all students in many different ways. For example: / guide & aid / tutorial / simulation / modelling / visualisation ■/ animation / interactive multimedia / problem solving J etc.
