Our Vision

TIN creates an inclusive space where all categories of ICDE members collaborate to shape the future of educational technology and innovation, sharing insights and best practices that transcend geographical and cultural boundaries.

To support collaborative goals and create a bridge between synchronous meetings, TIN has a website to gather members and share outputs from meetings and collaborations. Linked from this is a members-only private space to connect, communicate and collaborate.

Network Objectives

Drive understanding and implementation of AI-enabled learning innovations through collaborative exploration with ICDE’s diverse global membership
Foster cross-institutional partnerships that leverage educational technologies to create globally-minded curricula, emphasizing intercultural competence and collaborative learning
Cultivate a supportive community where members can openly explore, discuss, and enhance their practice in educational technology and digital pedagogies
Champion “glocalization” in education by identifying, adapting, and implementing successful technology-enhanced learning practices that respect local contexts
Bridge research and practice by connecting ICDE members with emerging research and current innovations in the global education community
