The document discusses a conference on information and communications technology (ICT) education. It notes that Michael Qaissaunee of Brookdale Community College in New Jersey received funding from the National Science Foundation for a project called E-MATE to develop reusable frameworks and templates for electronic textbooks, mobile apps, and web apps for technical education. The goal is to address issues like the outdated traditional textbook model and students' growing use of technology for studying.
