ICT for Development Forum 2013: Session on ICT for Education, "Is ICT the Missing Link in Development Operations?"
Asian Development Bank | June 2015
Abstract
The ICT for Development Forum is an annual activity focused on knowledge sharing in the area of
information and communication technology (ICT). This report, based on the forum held from 28 February
to 1 March 2013 at the Asian Development Bank (ADB), attempts to gauge the impact of ICT on today’s
learning paradigms. What are the impacts of ICT developments on today’s students and teachers? How
is distance education changing the way education is being delivered? How is ADB helping developing
members take advantage of ICT for education? How are massively open online courses and other disruptive
learning paradigms affecting education? These are some of the questions tackled by experts from different
countries and from ADB, and this report is the result of that discussion.
