Today Asian countries are competing with each other to be the frontrunner in technology-enabled education as a key strategy to build competitive advantage. While most countries do not want to miss the opportunity to connect to this ‘connected world’, the struggle to close the existing divides – digital and educational, continues. But, is large-scale infrastructure and broadband connectivity the solution to a quick and effective ICT integration? Research and practices have confirmed that a holistic approach that integrates and emphasises process, be it capacity building of the educators or transforming pedagogy or creating localised and relevant ICT-based content, has a more substantial impact and a more sustainable and effective integration.
Asia has geared up to this challenge. Within these countries, while the private sector and the civil society has assumed leadership to drive the technology-enabled education in some countries, governments in others are drawing the roadmap for a national level intervention and systematic integration of technologies in education.
Digital Learning Asia 2007, will bring some of the key drivers from the leading countries of technology-enabled education to deliberate on the most pressing challenges of technology-enabled education from capacity building to reengineering pedagogy, change management to providing digital access
