The document discusses the ICT Development Index (IDI) which is published by the International Telecommunication Union and measures the development of information and communication technology (ICT) in different countries. It is based on 14 indicators grouped into three clusters that measure access, use and skills. The document outlines the specific indicators used to measure each cluster and provides statistics on global progress in ICT connectivity and use, as well as existing digital divides. Finally, it discusses concepts like the knowledge society and how ICT can be used to support teaching and learning, listing different types of ICT resources and sources.

3. ICT Development Index (IDI)
• International Telecommunication Union
• United Nations
• issues that concern ICT
• committed to connecting all the world's people
• based on internationally agreed 11 ICT indicators (till
2017) Now it is 14 indicators, grouped
• three clusters:
• ACCESS: ICT Readiness
• USE: ICT Intensity
• SKILL: ICT Capability

7. ICT Development Index (IDI)-
Indicators-Use
• percentage of individuals using the Internet
• fixed (wired)-broadband subscriptions per 100 inhabitants
• Wireless broadband subscriptions per 100 inhabitants (includes
satellite, terrestrial fixed, and active mobile with a minimum
download of 256 kbit/s)
• mobile-broadband Internet traffic per mobile-broadband
subscription (use sub-index);
• fixed-broadband Internet traffic per fixed-broadband
subscription (use sub-index);
• percentage of individuals who own a mobile phone (use sub-
index);

9. ICT Development Index (IDI)-
Indicators-Skill
• adult literacy rate (% population 15 and older who
can read and write simple statements with
understanding and do simple arithmetic calculations)
• gross enrollment ratio secondary level (total
enrollment in a specific level of education as a
percentage of all eligible)
• gross enrollment ratio tertiary level (total
enrollment in a specific level of education as a
percentage of all eligible)
• proportion of individuals with ICT skills (skills sub-
index).

12. • continued progress in connectivity and use of ICTs
• Mobile-cellular networks
• increasingly pervasive
• dominate the provision of basic telecommunication
services
• rapid growth in mobile-broadband services
• divides are evident in Internet use as well as
connectivity

13. • substantial digital divides
• between countries and regions,
• between developed and developing
countries, particularly LDCs
• significant gender digital divide
• significant age digital divide: young
people are more likely to be online
than their elders

14. Knowledge Society
•everyone has access to learning
•knowledge is connecting via networks such
as cultural group or through the media.
•strive for knowledge through ICT
•teaching and learning occurs in networks

15. ICT in Teaching
• control of their learning, permitting
independence
• progress and development
• incredible tool for the curriculum
• increases positive attitude, the
learning potential

16. ICT in Teaching-contd.
• support existing teaching and learning
practices with new tools
• promote and enable educational reform
• motivate learning and
• promote greater efficiencies in
educational systems and practices
• empower teachers and learners

17. ICT Resources
• Print
• Images/Graphics
• Audio
• Video
• Audio Video
• Animation

18. ICT Resource: E-content
E-content includes all kinds of content created and
delivered through various electronic media or iCt
Any digitized content that can facilitate the learning
process and/or learning outcome.
E-content flexibility :
• time,
• place and
• pace of learning.

19. ICT Resources: Sources
• In-house content development team
• Develop ourselves
• Outsource development
• Buy content
• Subscribe (to databases, LO repositories,
etc)
• Or simply use available ….
