  15. Actions for paradigm shift in Taiwan(1)well-established infrastructure • TANet connected all schools (ranging from primary schools to universities) to the Internet since 1999 • Each county/city has an educational network service center (total of 25) • All schools established computer classrooms since 1999 • all classrooms connect to the Internet by the end of 2007 • all classrooms remodeled to e-classrooms (expected 2012)

  16. Actions for paradigm shift in Taiwan(1)well-established infrastructure(Cont.) • Wireless campus network deployment began in 2003 for mobile learning • full deployment expected 2008 • M-Taiwan project began in 2005 to establish wireless metropolis network • Ubiquitous learning is expected as a killer application

  17. Actions for paradigm shift in Taiwan(2)enrich e-learning contents/activities • Established nation-wide learning object management systems: • ‘Learning Gas station’ website:supply teaching materials, lesson plans, etc. to teachers • ‘Education to e-learning（etoe）’ website: integrate 1st-9th grade curriculum learning resources • Developed 6 web-based learning systems for on-line learning activity • Life Education, Humanity and Arts, Nature and Ecology, History and Culture, Health and Medicine, Science Education

  18. Actions for paradigm shift in Taiwan(3)Enhance human & organizational resources • Provide ICT-incorporated teaching skill training program • promote certification systems for teachers’ e-learning ability • Incubate seed schools for ICT education (1071 seed schools until now)

  19. Actions for paradigm shift in Taiwan(3)Enhance human & organizational resources(Cont.) • Establish e-learning and teaching support center (including instruction designers, multimedia designers, ICT professionals) in counties and cities (2006~2008) • Provide e-learning master program for on-job teachers: started in 2006 • Establish e-learning departments in universities

  20. Actions for bridging the digital divide in education by ICT • Equal infrastructure to secluded villages (MOE subsidizes telecommunication fee) • Encourage and subsidize ICT-professional volunteers from universities and industries to assist schools in secluded villages (more than 100 teams per year since 2003) • Provide networked on-job training courses for teachers in secluded villages (since 2004)

  21. Actions for bridging the digital divide in education by ICT (Cont.) • Set up e-tutor platform and service teams to assist students • Provide web services to enrich learning resources • Build-up Digital Opportunity Centers to provide equipment and training courses for community and students for after schools tutoring (300 DOCs in 168 villages expected in 2008)
