ICT higher education case studies from Asia and the Pacific

UNESCO has recently published a report entitled ICT for Higher Education: Case studies from Asia and the Pacific. The institutions profiled include a number of ICDE member institutions: Symbiosis Centre for Distance Learning, India; Shanghai Radio and TV University, China; and Korea National Open University.


UNESCO Bangkok coordinated a research study to document the use of ICT for higher education in the Asia and Pacific region in 2009 with the support of the Japanese Funds-in-Trust. Targeted at Ministry of Education officials and specialists responsible for higher education, administrators and faculty members of higher education institutions, and higher education and ICT providers, the objective of the study was to increase understanding of how ICT can be used to:

  • design and develop curricular content
  • deliver higher education programmes and courses
  • enhance the learning process
  • increase the efficiency of the administration and management of educational systems

Seven case studies from Australia, Hong Kong (Special Administrative Region of China), India, People’s Republic of China, Republic of Korea and Singapore were commissioned to focus on three main areas:

  1. Open and distance learning
  2. Blended learning
  3. Administration and management

The findings provide useful information on how these higher education institutions at various stages of development capitalize on technology to achieve their goals.
