CICT strongly believes in the transformative role of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in learning. It aims to provide learners with quality, well-designed and well-produced interactive multimedia materials which are easily replicated at low cost, necessary for greater access to all Filipino learners. As part of its effort to develop an ICT infrastructure for education, CICT is also prioritizing the conversion of existing educational materials into digital format and the creation of new digital multimedia learning resources.
The goal of this pioneering effort is to make the Philippines' stock of content available online and provide all Filipinos with easy access to the information that is important to our lives.
CICT's Educational Content Development objectives are:
- To stimulate the development of learning materials that offer diversity and choice for teachers and learners though training educators and other educational content creators; and,
- To stimulate demand through purchase of high quality and cost effective multimedia resources to support learning at all ages and abilities.
CICT will work closely with key partners to encourage the provision of high-quality (national) content and to support effective access, selection and exploitation of commercial and non-commercial materials. CICT will focus on efforts where communities, schools, corporations, groups and individuals create, collect, manage, process, store, move, or access information via a networked environment.
As an initial phase, the proposed project for funding includes the following items:
- Content and Application Development for Rural Communities and Enterprises: Digitization of Replicable Research Outputs of Partner SUCs - content-specific multimedia and applications to highlight the expertise of participating State Universities and Colleges (SUCs) and cater to the needs of their respective regions (i.e. Highland and Lowland Agriculture, Fisheries, etc).
