This timely analysis brings greater clarity to the question of how ICT-supported innovations
are experienced in small low- to middle-income countries and developing regions with
implications for international education and development. By bringing together a group of
international technologists researchers and scholars this book explores the building of
local capacity for educational technology policy and application in such regions and ably links
theory to practice to illuminate how the issues at hand play out in professional practice. The
volume offers itself as an invaluable resource by offering a salient assessment of the existent
methodological and ecological challenges and constraints in developing implementing and
evaluating technology and technology research while simultaneously providing recommendations
and strategy for future policy and implementation.Among the topics covered:The research agenda
for technology education and development.ICT curriculum planning and development: policy and
implementation lessons from small developing states.New challenges for ICT in education
policies in developing countries.Playful partnerships for game-based learning in international
contexts.Addressing persistent ICT-in-education challenges in small developing
countries.ICT-Supported Innovations in Small Countries and Developing Regions is of significant
interest to educational technology researchers policymakers and officials with influence over
resource allocation and implementation of technology innovations. It is also relevant to
administrators teachers instructional designers and technology evaluators interested in
advancing educational communications and technology in public and private settings.
