The report summarizes the discussions that were held during the e-Forum online conference exploring the role Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) plays in access to and quality of technical and vocational education and training (TVET). The 2-week discussion was moderated by Mr Nik Kafka, CEO and founder of Teach A Man To Fish, an international non-governmental organization supporting schools across the developing world, and attracted 247 participants from 77 countries across the globe. The discussion aimed at facilitating dialogue on the implications of the digital learning revolution for TVET around the world. The discussion was divided into 4 main topic areas:
1. ICTs as a tool: increasing the reach and impact of TVET through ICT.
2. ICTs in the classroom: how can ICTs be used to improve learning outcomes?
3. ICTs as a goal of TVET: what are the ICTs skills needs in the workplace of tomorrow?
4. ICT challenges: the barriers, fears and risks of the wider use of ICTs in TVET.
The report aims to summarize the findings of the conference in order to help provide information and directions for future research as well as programme work in this field.
