ICT for Illiteracy Eradication (ICT for IE)

ICT for Illiteracy Eradication (ICT4IE) uses advanced IT to convert the learning content of literacy classes into simple, interactive computer-based tutorials. Basic reading and writing skills are presented in 3 multi-media CD-ROMs, which are designed for both classroom use and self-study. Content is geared especially towards women especially in rural and remote areas where the culture mainly prevents them from leaving home for classes. 70% of illiterates in Egypt are women. Lessons are designed to embed learning activities into familiar contexts of every day life and are dramatized using sound and music effects. The e-content emphasises relevant topics such as health, education, political rights, environment, and family care. The goal is to improve trainees' retention and understanding and their satisfaction derived from the learning process. www.ictfund.org.eg
