4. Introduction The world is moving towards e-governance in all fields of life including education. Pakistan as a member of the world community cannot keep itself away to become seclusive in the progress of the globe to be open and without borders in educational world. The phenomenon is seen in e-learning and m-learning system. ICT-integration in education demands that first integration of ICT be made in teacher education program. The new trends in education and pedagogy demand the use of educational technology, especially, the ICT. But, the use of ICT in turn requires and demands the courses and contents to be converted into a shape, form, design and format that is structurally feasible, usable and useful; having attraction and good impact on the learners i.e. user friendly. It also requires a website for e- content presentation and online connection, interaction, collaboration and communication.

5. 5 The competency to convert the course content and textbooks from traditional make up to the technology-based web Textbooks demands the authors to be both technologist and educationist at the same time. The technology is modern and the experts in education of Pakistan are mostly having experience in the traditional textbooks and course contents preparations, presentation, evaluation and development. The writer of the web Textbook for teacher education has taken the help of a software engineering student to have technical support in the preparation of website and to fill the gap of technical expertise. So, this project is an educationist and software engineer student contribution in the field of teacher education in Pakistan. This study is designed to provide help to the learners for using online mobile-learning or e- learning through web Textbooks website and have educational opportunities in constructivist and virtual learning environment.

9. 9 Methodology of the Study The methodology of the study is to make review of the research articles and books for designing and developing web Textbook website in order to have conceptual clarity. The course materials available are developed by the researcher for ICT-integrated teacher education to be presented to students on e-learning and m-learning system. The website is designed and developed by a Software Engineering student of Swat University. The website will be validated in the session 2015 – 2016 for making it effective and standardized. Hence, the study is experimental and practical in nature for designing and developing course materials of teacher education in Pakistan in order to make it part of e-learning and m-learning system.
