SECTION A
This section of the examination paper is compulsory, and it is worth 20 marks.
QUESTION 1
Read the following excerpt:
“Social technologies empower us to connect with others in ways that were previously impossible or
inefficient. With social media, such as blogs, social networking sites, discussion forums, image- and
video-sharing services, teachers are able to connect with other people and a variety of resources on an
ongoing basis, to improve their practice” (Kimmons, 2020).
Question 1.1
List any four (4) advantages of Web 2.0 technologies, as depicted by London and Hall (2011). (4)
Question 1.2
In your own words, describe the three categories of factors influencing e-learning effectiveness, as
stated by Lo (2014). (6)
QUESTION 2
Read the following excerpt and answer the questions that follow:
“South Africa, in particular, needs to keep a close eye on all aspects of the labour market so that policy
responses can support those most in need. Recent work has highlighted the enormous impact of the
Covid-19 pandemic and the lockdown on the lives of working people. A focus on the labour market is
particularly important, given South Africa’s already high unemployment, and the inequality which is
generated by the labour market. Four areas of the labour market which will require scrutiny in the
coming months are highlighted: the informal economy; turbulence and job churn; increasing capital
intensity; and gender and work” (Francis & Valodia, 2020).
(https://www.wits.ac.za/scis/publications/opinion/sa-needs-to-focus-on-how-covid-19-will-reshape-
labour-market/).
