The
ICTLIteracy.info web site is
the “public face” of a fast growing
international movement focused on promoting Information and
Communication Technologies (ICT) Literacy.
Building
an international consensus is critical for advancing meaningful
educational initiatives, training high skilled workforce,
and understanding issues related to economic development. Produced
by the Kempster Group and co-sponsored by Certiport,
LearningTimes, Oracle,
and Dell,
ICTLiteracy.info provides a rich, centralized portal for the
repository of ICT
Literacy
resources, highlights innovative efforts and partnerships
promoting ICT Literacy, and facilitates the interaction between
researchers, business, government and educational segments.
Offerings on the site are dynamic to support a number of initiatives,
including virtual conferences via a CYBER SUMMIT format to allow
maximum participation worldwide.
As
a joint effort of LearningTimes and Kempster Group, a free
Community features access to interactive webcasts, workshops
and events, as well as tools for live collaboration, networking
and education. The ICT
Community has the capability for live
webcasts; access to webcast archives, voice and text based
discussion boards; two-way voice-based live collaboration areas
with application sharing, virtual whiteboards, and image import
tools; integrated instant messaging, and voice e-mail.
Over the next year, the dynamic ICT Community site will support
a number of program offerings, including virtual ICT conferences,
live and archived webcasts, ICT literacy workshops and training
courses, and many special events.
