Conference Theme
Towards a Technology-Enhanced Education Ecology for Inclusive Learning
When averaged, global indicators of access to both formal and informal education are on the upswing: Education poverty, defined as the percentage of the population with less than four years of education, is on the decline (ADB, 2014); nearly all countries have increased their information and communication technology development index (ITU, 2016); 70% of the youth aged 15-24 are using the Internet (ITU, 2017). However, disparities continue to exist across almost every possible dimension—developed vs. developing nations; male vs. female; urban vs. rural.
The theme of ICCE 2018 is the use of technology to enhance curriculum and pedagogy in order to bridge some of these divides. It communicates a vision of computers, mobile phones, the Internet, and related technologies as instruments that provide all individuals with equal opportunities for education, regardless of their gender, socio-economic status, language, religion, or ability. When enacted, it is hoped that this vision leads to greater economic prosperity, socio-political inclusion, and an overall better quality of life for all.
