Early adoption of information and communication technology can allow developing countries in Asia and the Pacific to move from labor-intensive, natural resources-based to knowledge-based economies. Higher education institutions must adopt an institution-wide, holistic information and communication technology (ICT) strategy, not a project-based approach, to avoid redundancies, obsolescence, and large maintenance costs. A coordinated top-down plus bottom-up intervention is best, with three areas requiring attention: infrastructure, application software, and staff development. ICT investments in higher education institutions in support of teaching, research, and community engagement are essential for developing and retaining competitive advantage in the knowledge economy.

Over the last two decades, higher education in the Asia-Pacific region has witnessed a greater rate of expansion in terms of new institutions and numbers of students than any other region globally. In tandem with this expansion, the use of information communication technology as a central component in the higher education sector in the Asia-Pacific region has also grown exponentially. This book documents a range of policy, pedagogy and practice initiatives from countries such as Thailand, Malaysia, Bangladesh, Australia, China, Indonesia, the Philippines, Canada and Korea. It showcases innovation and investigation, success, and, in some cases, outcomes from trials that suggest the need to rethink and even revise a number of central assumptions in the field of implementing information communication technologies in higher education.

To meet modern-day challenges of improving quality and relevance, responding to new knowledge, and strengthening teaching and learning, the postsecondary education space must revise system structures, content designs, and delivery strategies, i.e., engage in disruptive thinking. Governments need to implement effective regulatory processes to ensure quality and equitable access by all students. Education programs must be in sync with workplace needs and built around "knowledge clusters" rather than specialized fields. Diverse and multiple disruptions will become the norm.

The trend towards a knowledge-based economy has emphasized the importance of universities as repositories of valuable human capital. In particular, the accelerating shift to hightechnology and information technology economy requires sustained human resource development and training. Driven by globalization and pressures to teach and train skilled and competitive professionals, universities face a huge challenge in increasing access to higher education and improving the quality of higher education against the stark reality of decreasing resources. With the support of the Japanese Funds-in-Trust, UNESCO initiated a research study on the use of ICT for higher education in the Asia and Pacific region. This publication highlights the results from case studies that investigated the use of ICT in three areas: open and distance learning; blended learning, and administration and management practices. The findings provide useful information on how these higher education institutions at various stages of development capitalize on technology to achieve their goals. - p.4.

The role of ICT in education is becoming more and more important as the world moves rapidly into the age of digital media and information. Though worldwide research has shown that the integration of ICT into language teaching and learning may lead to improved student learning and better teaching methods, it is not possible without effective use of ICT in education. Thus, this book showcases current methodology and pedagogical research in combining language teaching and learning with current platforms of computer-mediated communications. The reflections and innovative educational approaches featured will be of benefit to scholars, educationists and pedagogical researchers with an interest in technological applications in education.

Rapid global technological and economic developments have placed greater demands on the education system, particularly on the need to inculcate among students the importance of lifelong learning, that is, to constantly seek new information, to think critically and to take initiatives and cope with the challenges of our fast-changing world. Countries in Asia and the Pacific have responded to these challenges in different forms and at varying levels. They have formulated policies and developed strategies to integrate information and communications technologies (ICT) in education. This collective case study aims to: i. describe lessons learned in integrating ICT in education programs, based on the experiences of six Asian countries namely, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea and Thailand, and ii. synthesize and analyze their ICT integration experiences in connection with specific lessons learned and highlight best practices and the need for further improvements. In these six countries, ICT use in education is at different stages of development. In its review of 90 ICT projects in Asia, the UNESCO (2003) comprehensive report groups the countries into three categories: 1. Advanced countries with integrated ICT in the education system. These include Australia, South Korea and Singapore. 2. Countries where national ICT policies and master plans have been formulated and various ICT integration strategies are being applied and tested (although ICT is not fully integrated in the education system). These include China, Thailand, Japan, Malaysia, the Philippines and India. 3. Some countries where efforts towards ICT integration efforts and formulation of national policies have just begun. There are also countries that have no relevant policies but are running pilot ICT projects. In both instances, however, there is insufficient budget to implement policies and work plans and ICT infrastructure and penetration are poor. This third category includes Myanmar, Lao PDR, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Bangladesh, among others. [Executive summary, ed].

The rise in demand for higher education in the Asia-Pacific region is an undeniable reflection of the growing pace of globalization and the subsequent pressures imposed by it. Aspiring to become globally competitive and to position favourably in the global university league tables, governments in Asia have either engaged in a serious quest to become a regional education hub or they have concentrated on developing transnational higher education to create more opportunities, in order to meet their citizens’ pressing demand for higher education. Internationalization of Higher Education in East Asia critically examines and provides comparative perspectives on the major strategies that selected Asian countries and societies have adopted to transform their higher education sector and enhance their national competitiveness in the increasingly globalized world. This volume by leading scholars in the field of education development and policy studies makes critical reflections on how Asian governments in particular and universities in general have responded to the growing challenges of globalization by promoting more internationalization, student mobility and entrepreneurship in higher education. This book is an essential collection for policy makers, researchers and postgraduate students studying higher education, Asian education and international education.

Higher education is adapting to one of the most challenging developments in its history: the emergence of a society that is global, networked and in which knowledge is the main economic driving force. This development is at the same time the result of and is facilitated by the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). Higher education institutions are challenged to integrate these technologies into their core processes and organisation, and to develop strategies for effectively educating their students in this new social context. This book offers the reader insight into these developments in twelve different European countries. These national cases are supplemented with thematic chapters addressing the role of European Union policy, its impact at an institutional level, cooperation and competition and the influence of regional and cultural factors. The Use of ICT in Higher Education is intended for professionals interested in national policies and institutional strategies concerning ICT in higher education. For example, governmental officials, institutional leaders, ICT coordinators and researchers. The contributors to this book are directly involved with the implementation of ICT in higher education. They are policymakers, working at institutions for higher education or are researchers in this field.
