The 8th International Workshop on ICT Trends in Emerging Economies

(WICTTEE 2019)

held in conjunction with

International Conference on Computers in Education 2019

A Brief Description of the Workshop:

In response to the emerging research diversity, the SIG on Development of Information and Communication Technology in the Asia Pacific Neighbourhood (DICTAP) is organising a workshop on ICT Trends in Emerging Economies. The developmental growth of ICT in the Asia Pacific countries has been phenomenal in recent years as the Government of these countries have embarked on various ICT initiatives. Despite these efforts, the ICT development rate of each country has not been the same among countries from the low-income, lower-middle-income and upper-middle-income economies within the Asia Pacific region (hitherto referred to as underrepresented countries). In general, the ICT growth in these countries is only at the emerging or development stage.

This workshop aims to provide an interactive channel for interdisciplinary researchers and practitioners to present papers, communicate and discuss with one another on relevant issues regarding the ICT trends in developing countries. The workshop invites contributions from researchers who are from emerging economies* or those who are working on issues related to emerging economies* to share scholarly findings and professional insights in ICT development in the field of education. WICTTEE 2018 is planned as a full day workshop to be held either on the 2nd December or 6th December 2019.

*List of countries as defined by the World Bank
