This document discusses three case studies on the use of ICT for education:
1) Allama Iqbal Open University in Pakistan uses multimedia like audio, video and internet to provide distance education across the country, reaching over 70% employed students, with over 50% female enrolment.
2) BBC Janala in Bangladesh provides low-cost English language lessons by phone, reaching over 1.5 million users in under a year.
3) Plan CEIBAL in Uruguay aims to provide laptops to all primary students and teachers to promote ICT use, and has now expanded to secondary education. It shows commitment and adapting technology to the local context are key to effective ICT-enabled development.
The policy recognized the strategy to incorporate ICT in educational curricula and provide for equitable access by students at all levels (Uganda Ministry of Works, Housing and Communications, 2003).

This paper present a review of the challenges of e-learning in Nigerian University education based on the experience of four developed countries, UK, Australia, Korea and France. The survey shows that these countries have: (i) vision and action plans for e-learning, (ii) they have good government policies and financial support, (iii) they earmark action programs and set committees with sufficient funds to pursue it goals, (iv) they believe in research as a fundamental part of e-learning strategy, and lastly (v) they embark on awareness, training and motivational programs. The paper pointed out that, for the challenges of Nigerian university education to be reduced to minimum, the Federal Government should improve on educational funding as UNESCO recommended 26% of the annual budget. In addition the government should fulfill her promise on the issue of improving Electricity supply in the country. Furthermore, the university administrators should embark on awareness and training of staff on the use of ICTs, with motivations attached. The Internet is a major driver of ICT in education and bandwidth is a major issue in the deployment of e-learning. Therefore government should make Internet connectivity a priority for higher education to be able to leverage on the promises and opportunities ICTs present.

This study explored the main barriers to effective integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in Harare Secondary School Education. Data were collected using close ended questionnaires. Participatory research was also carried out to familiarize with the changes happening in secondary schools with respect to integration of ICT in education and to find out the challenges being faced. Data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Scientists (SPSS). The results showed that although teachers are aware of the benefits of using ICTs in education there was still limited use of this pedagogy in classrooms as teachers were facing a number of challenges which acted as barriers to the successful implementation of ICT in education. These include lack of a clear sense of direction on how to use ICT to enhance the learning of students, inadequate resources and support as well as lack of the required technological skills among the teachers. The study recommends that effective planning to counter these barriers before implementation would greatly increase the effectiveness of ICT integration in secondary schools.

CASE 1: ALLAMA IQBAL OPEN UNIVERSITY IN PAKISTAN
6. CASE 2: BBC JANALA IN BANGLADESH
Background
There is a huge demand for English language skills in Bangladesh
– both from employers who want to compete in the global
marketplace, and from families across the country.
Description of the project
By dialing 3000, audiences can choose from a menu of bi-lingual
audio lessons costing 4 cents each. Learners can also test their
English language skill via audio quizzes.
7. CASE 2: BBC JANALA IN BANGLADESH
Consequence and Impact
Launched in November 2009, the service is less than a
year old, yet more than 1.5 million people have already
used it. One third of users of the service are repeat users.
After three months, the online community at the website
had reached 56, 637 registered users.
8. (Conectividad Educativa de Informática Básica para el Aprendizaje en Línea [Educational
Connectivity of Basic Informatics for Online Learning])
Plan CEIBAL began in 2007, it works with the one-laptop-per-child (1:1) model
CEIBAL is inspired by the OLPC, but its design and implementation was adapted to the
Uruguayan context, resulting in a slightly different project compared to the original
proposal (Hinostroza, Jara, & Brun, 2011)
Aim: promote the massive use of ICT in society and schools
Purpose: Act as a measure against the existing inequalities regarding access to ICTs
Vision: through the provision of laptops to children, these computers become part of the daily
life of the family, and by doing so, the social impact of the initiative will be increased
(Hinostroza, Jara, & Brun, 2011)
CASE 3: PLAN CEIBAL IN URUGUAY
9. CASE 3: PLAN CEIBAL IN URUGUAY
Initial goals
All students and teachers in public schools have their own portable
computer (362,000 students and 18,000 teachers)
They can access free wireless Internet installed in more than 2,000 schools
and hundreds of public spaces in cities and towns
All primary teachers train and they have access to an educational portal
with resources and communities to support and enrich teaching and
learning.
After accomplishing these goals:
The government is now aiming at providing portable computers to
secondary education students and teachers (Hinostroza, Jara, & Brun, 2011)
10. CONCLUSIONS
Under what conditions does ICT and indeed act as an facilitator of
development and social change?
Commitment and alignment at a political level
Use of appropriation processes to meet community needs
Complementary strategies to ensure teacher’s professional development at a policy
level
The major condition would it be to always remember that ICT implementation/usage goes beyond just
giving computers to a group of people. There are many processes and factors that affects that
implementation and they are as importante as the technology itself.
