This timely analysis brings greater clarity to the question of how
ICT-supported innovations are experienced in small low- to
middle-income countries and developing regions with implications
for international education and development. By bringing together a
group of international technologists, researchers, and scholars,
this book explores the building of local capacity for educational
technology policy and application in such regions and ably links
theory to practice to illuminate how the issues at hand play out in
professional practice. The volume offers itself as an invaluable
resource by offering a salient assessment of the existent
methodological and ecological challenges and constraints in
developing, implementing, and evaluating technology and technology
research, while simultaneously providing recommendations and
strategy for future policy and implementation. Among the topics
covered: The research agenda for technology, education, and
development. ICT curriculum planning and development: policy and
implementation lessons from small developing states. New challenges
for ICT in education policies in developing countries. Playful
partnerships for game-based learning in international contexts.
Addressing persistent ICT-in-education challenges in small
developing countries. ICT-Supported Innovations in Small Countries
and Developing Regions is of significant interest to educational
technology researchers, policymakers, and officials with influence
over resource allocation and implementation of technology
innovations. It is also relevant to administrators, teachers,
instructional designers, and technology evaluators interested in
advancing educational communications and technology in public and
private settings.
Winner of the Outstanding Publication Award - Book by AECT's
Culture, Learning, and Technology Division! ICT and International
Learning Ecologies addresses new ways to explore international,
comparative, and cultural issues in education and technology. As
today's development orthodoxies push societies around the world to
adopt imported information communication tools, new approaches are
needed that integrate cultural responsiveness, autonomy, and
sustainability into technology-enhanced learning. This edited
collection conceptually and methodologically reframes the
complexities of teaching and learning in historically marginalized
communities around the world, where inequities are often
exacerbated by one-size-fits-all programs. Graduate students and
researchers of educational technology, international/comparative
education, and sustainability education will be better prepared to
lead information and communication technologies (ICT)
implementation across a range of contexts and learner identities.
