Item Alignment indices of Mongolian universities computing curricula(School of Mathematics and Computer Science, National University of Mongolia, 2010) Amarzaya, Amartuvshin; Munkhtsetseg, Namsraidorj; Otgonnaran, Ochirbat; Tserenbat, OidovIn this paper we will present an evaluation method of how contents of curricula of a certain university suit with curricula models of ACM-IEEE using Porter’s method. We will explore a measurement methodology proposed by A. C. Porter for the case IT and Software Engineering curricula of three Mongolian leading schools.Item Boîte de Pandore : un nouveau modèle pour l'éducation en Asie(CRDI, Ottawa, ON, CA, 2006) Waldick, LisaItem Clean water, safe environment for my healthy school : a module for hygiene and sanitation in schools(Molave Development Foundation, Makati City, PH, 2006) Molave Development FoundationItem Computer learning programs in schools moving from BOOT models to an integrated approach : perspective paper on ICTs in education(IT for Change, Bangalore, IN, 2009) Kasinathan, GurumurthyThe paper is written primarily for decision makers in the education department regarding computer learning programs in schools (CLPS). Its focus is on the 'rollout' aspects of programmatic design. It analyzes the planning and implementation processes of CLPS in the Indian public education system. Putting computers in schools, and providing 'training and technical support' through an animator external to the school has by and large been a failure. CLPS design needs to be directed by those who understand the system well and work with it – educationists, including teacher educators and teachers, at both the program design level and the school levels.Item Curriculum development of university computing and ICT education in Mongolia : final technical report, January 2009 – January 2011(School of Mathematics and Computer Science, National University of Mongolia, Ulaanbaatar, MN, 2011) Amarzaya, AmartuvshinThe paper argues that that there has not yet been an effective Mongolian Computer Science degree program in operation, and because ICT education cannot cover all the rapid developments in modern computer science, compulsory ICT training in tertiary education must be tightly linked with continuity from the Informatics subject curriculum in secondary schools, and then applied as a tool for subject specialization. The project research team developed a new compulsory and specialized ICT curriculum for tertiary institutions in Mongolia. Activities and outputs of the project are reported on, including an evaluative baseline survey of the current status of ICT training.Item Distance education technology in Asia : 1. past and present(Virtual University of Pakistan, Lahore, PK, 2007) Ahmed, Sheeraz; Amarsaikhan, Dashtseren; Attygala, Dilhari; Baggaley, Jon; Belawati, TianThe overall project became known as ‘PANdora’.

Results revealed a clear impact on student performance, learning, interest, and skill development. Often children in rural and peri-urban areas lack critical information, guidance and counselling on career choice, social mobility, graduation and entrance examinations.Item Global Communications Newsletter, October 2010(IEEE Communications Society, 2010) Bregni, StefanoBroadband Internet should be considered an indispensable service to an information-driven society. This newsletter provides topical information, events and effects of ICTs in development. More specifically in this issue: the FCC plan to increase faster web access and innovation in telecommunications, making connectivity available to poor and rural communities; the iREACH rural empowerment programme in Cambodia; and workshops and conferences in Lebanon and India.Item Health and hygiene at home : a module for hygiene and sanitation at home(Molave Development Foundation, Makati City, PH, 2006) Molave Development FoundationItem Health and hygiene in farming : a module for hygiene and sanitation in farming(Molave, Makati City, PH, 2006) Molave Development FoundationItem How iREACH has contributed to local communities(Informatics for Rural Empowerment and Community Health (iREACH), KH, 2009) Grunfeld, Helena; Hak, Sokleap; Pin, TaraThe Informatics for Rural Empowerment and Community Health (iREACH), an ICT4D pilot project in Cambodia funded by International Development Research Center (IDRC), started in 2006. Using primary data from field research and secondary data from desk studies, the paper reports on whether and how iREACH has contributed to capabilities, empowerment, and sustainability (CES). The findings suggest iREACH has propelled communities along the CES virtuous spiral by contributing to capabilities in education, health, agriculture, and community cooperation. It has had an empowering influence particularly for women, who are now more involved in community activities. Community sustainability has improved through better farming skills.Item i4d (information for development) : gender and ICTs, vol. VII no. 7, July-September 2009(Centre for Science, Development and Media Studies, 2009) Gupta, Ravii4d contains articles, case studies and essays on the theme of ‘ICT for development’ (ICT4D) and related issues. The articles in this issue provide new ideas regarding gender and technology, covering topics such as the ‘Networking for Success’ project, initiated to train Nigerian women activists in use of web 2.0 tools; Gender empowerment and ICT4D in relation to Informatics for Rural Empowerment and Community Health (iREACH); ICTs and illiteracy eradication; alongside many other ICT projects aimed at overcoming the digital divide and securing sustainable livelihoods through ICT4D.Item ICT in the context of education system(IT for Change, Bangalore, IN, 2008) IT for ChangeThe paper examines ICT systems in education, including teacher training and education policy. A proposed increase in the spending on ICTs in education from less than 1,000 crores in the 10th Five-Year Plan to more than 6,000 crores in the 11th Plan by the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) reflects an urgency to harness ICTs for systemic change in the education sector in India. To understand the emerging scenario for implications for education, including aspects relating to equity and social justice, a progressive policy is needed that would inform programs initiated by the Government and other institutions.Item ICTs for health services in rural Mongolia : final technical report(Health Sciences University of Mongolia, Ulaanbaatar, MN, 2006) Amarsaikhan, Dashtseren; Oyun, S.; Batpurev, B.The Doctor system and distance learning system were developed for Mongolia’s unique situation. Five rural areas were selected for telemedicine. A total of 700 trainees attended, 163 physicians associated with the distance learning system, 37 physicians associated with the Doctor system, and 83 patients were advised regarding their diagnoses and treatments. This report provides detailed analysis of a successful programme. The project created the initial base for telemedicine and medical distance learning in the Mongolian health sector.Item ICTs in school education : outsourced versus integrated approach(IT for Change, Bangalore, IN, 2009) Kasinathan, GurumurthyAcademics are increasingly using the Internet as an aid to teaching, encouraging students to retrieve information and undertake research for assignments. Use of research produced in the region appears to be discipline specific with Health and Life Sciences making greater use of outputs from the region. However, universities are not achieving research and publishing objectives due to lack of awareness of availability, and inaccessibility of research resources and platforms for dissemination. Future interventions need to address existing constraints, concerns and fears regarding Open Access, with establishment of a southern African regional publishing and dissemination platform that has appropriate bandwidth and infrastructure.Item iREACH : lessons from a community owned ICT network in Cambodia(Information Science Reference, Hershey, PA , US, 2011) Grunfeld, Helena; Siochrú, Seán Ó; Unger, Brian; Im, SarunThe Informatics for Rural Empowerment and Community Health (iREACH) project in Cambodia invited community members to become active participants in the production of the ICT environment, including the physical infrastructure, management, training, capacity building, content development and use. Two pilot community-owned networks in poor rural areas comprise both a cluster of local telecentres (10 in each area) and a mini-telecoms enterprise run by the communities. The paper describes the iREACH approach which focuses on capacity building in all aspects associated with operating a telecommunications business. Gender equality, livelihood matters, and governance issues also characterise the project.Item Livelihood with Kaka : laundry bar soap(Molave Development Foundation, Makati City, PH, 2006) Molave Development Foundation
