Pursuing Technology-Enhanced Quality Learning for All: Strategies Developed From the International Summit on Information and Communication Technologies in Education (EDUSummIT) 2015

Session Type: WERA Symposium

Abstract

EDUSummIT (International Summit on ICT in Education) is a global knowledge building community of researchers, policy-makers, and educational practitioners committed to supporting the effective integration of research and practice in the field of ICT in education. EDUSummIT participants meet biennially, and thematic groups are formed one year prior to an EDUSummIT meeting to study key issues. After each EDUSummIT, findings will be published and presented at conferences. Since its inception in 2009, EDUSummIT has been held four times, in the Hague (2009), Paris (2011), Washington D.C. (2013), and Bangkok (2015). Between 70 and 120 participants spanning six continents have attended past EDUSummIT meetings. In this symposium key findings from EDUSummIT 2015 will be presented.
