"ICT-in-Education Toolkit provides education policy makers, planners and practitioners with a systematic process to formulate, plan and evaluate education development programs enhanced by Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs)."

This study aims to bridge a crucial gap in our knowledge of the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in Africa.

I will be facilitating a workshop on ICT strategic planning at this workshop.

Information and communication technologies have enabled the desegregation of the three core components (or clusters) in teaching and learning in higher education : content (access to and apprenticeship to disciplinary knowledge, content creation) ;interaction (between peers, between students and academic experts through pedagogy, feedback and engagement) ; and accreditation (summative evaluation and certification).   Not only are these now all digitally mediated, they are also increasingly open in various permutations, through for example open content and MOOCs (massive open online courses which provide free access to whole courses for anyone with online access). This session will describe current trends and focus on the questions and implications for UCT with its twin imperatives of global prestige and benchmarking, and local development and redress imperatives

Kobus is asking for some comments on this. How do we sustain ICT's in schools?

Join us for another workshop by Vicki Davis, who has been recognized for her innovative use of the Web in the classroom. She describes here the steps necessary to create a Flat Classroom, which is the expansion of your classroom to include global communities and different forms of communication like blogs and wikis.
