A. CONNECT TO LEARN

1) STATE OF EDUCATION 20122) CONNECT TO LEARN PROVIDES


State of education in 2012› ACCESS: In 2008, 67 million

children were out of school. If current trends continue, there will more children out of school in 2015 than there are today.

› QUALITY: The quality of education remains very low in many countries. Millions of children are emerging from school with reading, writing and numeracy skills far below expected levels (UNESCO)

ROLE OF ICTInformation and Communication Technology (ICT) can contribute to universal access to education, equity in education, the delivery of quality learning and teaching, teachers’ professional development and more efficient education management

CONNECT TO LEARN PROVIDES

Quality learning resources through mobile broadband connectivity

A global advocacyplatform for the importance of quality education

Access to secondary education e.g. through scholarships*

*This applies to selected countries where lack of finance hinders students attending secondary school e.g. sub-Saharan Africa


b. Ict in schools

1) How technology improves learning2) From complexity3) To simplicity


mLearning – a journey through time

- Beginning of transformation in distance learning to widespread use of eLearning

- Enabled by growing broadband penetration, rise of eLearning standards, multimedia content, virtual classrooms etc

- First ‘primitive’ trials on mLearning limited by available technology, mainly driven by academics in university/school contexts

2000 2002 2004 2006 2008 2010 2012


mLearning @ ericsson (2002)

- WAP based, low resolution graphics, mainly text-based

- Focus on what was technically possible, rather than usability or pedagogical value

2000 2002 2004 2006 2008 2010 2012



- Move to MBB and improved functionality in handheld device means more sophisticated, media rich content can be delivered

- mLearning considered as an extension of eLearning

- Hundreds of trials, pilots completed within limited scope --

-no mass market implementations

- Example:

mLearning for Community Health Workers in Millennium Villages in sub-Saharan Africa
