Title: A Unique ICT Development Project in Cambodia: Provincial Business e-Learning Issue: December 2005, Issue 14 DOT: dot-GOV Summary: Cambodia is a country undergoing rapid changes, including a keen demand for access to higher education among rural youth.

Title: Producing Learning Gains in India with the Group Teaching and Learning (GTL) Multimedia Hybrid in One-Computer Classroom Issue: June 2006, Issue 16 DOT: dot-EDU Summary: In many countries around the world where computers are being introduced in the classroom or in computer labs, the ratio of students to computer remains very high. In such contexts, teachers often have to devise solutions that are less than optimal since most educational software is designed for a user-to-machine ratio of one-to-one or two-to-one. In response to this challenge, dot-EDU's Technology Tools for Teaching and Training (T4) project in India has created a method of using educational software that adresses many of the conditions typical of developing country classrooms.

Title: Strategies to Cross the Gender Digital Divide Issue: Summer 2003, Issue 4 DOT: DOT-COM Summary: Information and communication technology (ICT) offers potent tools to overcome obstacles women and girls typically face, and opens new opportunities in education, political participation, health care, and income generation. For example, ICT bridges communication barriers by allowing women to access many of these opportunities without having to leave their homes, villages, or communities. To realize this potential, ICT activities must recognize and address gender differences that affect ICT access, usage, and benefits. Recognition of these barriers starts at the policy level and continues through to final evaluation. Without such explicit consideration of gender equity, ICT activities may inadvertently exacerbate rather than bridge the gender digital divide. View Article |
