UNESCO Bangkok with funding support from Japanese-Funds-In-Trust (JFIT) has published an e-learning CD-ROM containing two modules.

Module 1: ICT in Education Essentials: provides learners with essential information about ICT in education and aims to promote common understanding about the topic in the education sector.

Module 2: ICT in Education Decision Making: helps learners to consider the different factors involved in choosing the appropriate technology to use in a particular education setting. The two modules were especially designed for policymakers, educational planners, school administrators, education specialist and educators, in general.

Both modules are lively, colorful and highly interactive. According to one person’s feedback: “I only planned to see a few screens to see how it looks. Then I got hooked and ended up completing the two modules which lasted for about an hour.” Another said: “This is very informative. Now I understand more about ICT in Education. I will recommend this to my other colleagues.” The rationale for producing this CD is pretty simple; UNESCO Bangkok wants to promote and raise awareness on ICT in Education but it is impossible to reach everyone and invite them to attend workshops. The only way to do this is to use ICT itself. Practice what you preach!
