Working Bibliography
This bibliography is the initial phase of this project, while its primary objective is to inform the process of developing reports that will focus on ICT developments in each India and South Asia, it is also being shared openly in the hope that it will be useful to others, and, more importantly, that others will add items and offer suggestions for improvement. The items in this collection have been selected on the basis that they provide data about ICT in education policy development and implementation processes; current projects; constraints in implementing ICT-enabled education; infrastructure development, teacher professional development and training, and digital education content development. The bibliography is therefore a potpourri of studies, evaluation reports, policy frameworks, news items and reports from numerous surveys that have been written since 2000.
We will be adding to the work as the country reports and theme papers proceed. The working Bibliography for each section shall be found under the respective sections.
