advantages of using LCT
ICT has become a priority in education over the last decade, with some schools effectively using technology to support learning. Studies show ICT has a positive impact on student performance, especially in English, and schools with higher e-maturity levels see faster score increases than those with less. Additionally, schools with sufficient ICT resources tend to achieve better results than less equipped schools, and both teachers and students generally find ICT tools motivating and helpful for assignments, including for students with special needs.

University of Maryland 9/27/2017
This document discusses the rising costs of higher education and textbooks and the barriers this creates for students. It notes that state funding for public universities has declined while tuition costs have increased dramatically. The average student budget for textbooks in 2016-2017 was $1,230-1,390. Studies found that high textbook costs cause many students to not purchase required books, take fewer courses, or earn poorer grades. The document advocates for open textbooks as an alternative that are free or low-cost and have been found to have equal or better learning outcomes compared to traditional textbooks. It provides examples of open textbook projects and funding models.
Wicked Awesome Ways Colleges Are Using Technology
Some colleges are doing more than jump on the technology bandwagon – they’re driving it. From financial aid to the application process and beyond, forward-thinking schools are implementing technology across the college experience. And entrepreneurs are pioneering products that meet the demands of these forward-thinking schools.

Educause ELI (9/12/11)
http://net.educause.edu/eliweb119 (recording here too - though I'm not sure if Educause requires you be an ELI member to see it - I think it will be open - hope so :)
Join Malcolm Brown, EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative director, and Veronica Diaz, ELI associate director, as they moderate this webinar with Cable Green, PhD, Director of Global Learning, Creative Commons. Cable Green, Director of Global Learning @ Creative Commons, will discuss how, if we are smart, we will use today's technical and legal tools to build and share high quality, affordable educational resources with everyone who wants to learn. The combined forces of digital content, the Internet and the effect of Moore's law push the cost of storing, replicating and distributing educational materials, once created, to near zero. Open licensing allows this content to be reused, revised, remixed and redistributed so others may localize, customize, translate, and (most important) collect and share open data on the effectiveness of the educational resources to continuously improve their quality. Cable will also discuss how open policies, once adopted, make sustainability a non-issue and ensure publicly funded educational resources are open educational resources.

IADIS ML2011
A graduate seminar at Miami University was formed to develop recommendations for integrating mobile learning (m-learning) in K-20 education in Ohio. The seminar analyzed existing m-learning techniques and discussed issues with a K-12 practitioner. The seminar developed three classes of recommendations: adoption, technology, and cost. For adoption, m-learning should be viewed as a supplement, facilitate different dimensions of learning, and involve institutional initiatives. For technology, m-learning platforms should be extensible and selected for intended use. For cost, initiatives should consider attributes like replacement schedules and pairing m-learning with cost savings in other areas. The recommendations require further study of their impact.

The report finds that textbook prices have increased 864% since 1978, far outpacing general inflation. Most students graduate with substantial debt, and spending $1,200 per year on textbooks burdens them further. The report proposes using open educational resources and free online materials, as some universities have implemented successfully, saving students an average of $128 per course. Tidewater Community College's Z degree program also relies solely on free online content, receiving very positive feedback from students.

globalization
Globalization poses challenges to school stakeholders like administrators, teachers, and students. Schools must actively respond to these challenges by developing an international outlook in their students through curriculum, activities, and language education. This will help prepare students as global citizens. Some key challenges for administrators include responding to trends like increasing enrollment, improving learning environments, and addressing issues like facilities, funding, technology, and unfunded mandates. Teachers face challenges like adapting to increasing diversity, managing time, and helping students meet long-term goals. Students deal with academic pressure, competition, health issues, peer pressure, addictions, and financial stability concerns.
