2017 ICT4D Conference

According to Clayton R. Wright (International Education Consultant, Canada), there are 5 key barriers to educational technology adoption in the developing world: electrical power, Internet connectivity, training and professional development, valuing of teachers, and sustainability. The constant advance of technology creates endless possibilities for education, but when you work in the developing world, implementation and sustainability are challenging to achieve.

As an instructional designer, I have seen the pitfalls that befall an agency when they try to embrace the new technologies but really do not understand them. This session aims to help you choose the best platform so that your implementation is successful and sustainable. We will do this by comparing and contrasting LRS, LMS, CMS, and ADB platforms addressing:
• Digital learning terminology
• Learning in the digital age
• Data collection and offline access
• Content delivery and management

When you complete this session you will have a roadmap for selecting the best platform for delivering your learning content.
