Full Description: dot-EDU will work with the Berkman Institute and Harvard Law School to identify and compile information regarding projects around the world that use ICT for education. The goal of the activity is to develop an online survey-driven tool to serve as a public resource for ICT and education practitioners and researchers. This pilot project is being implemented in partnership with the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard Law School along with other donor organizations including the World Bank Institute. Update: dot-EDU staff continues work on the construction of the Networked Readiness for Education website, a toolkit geared toward policymakers interested in ICT/Education issues.
