Iraq’s extensive higher education network has been decimated during the 2003 war. But in spite of its heavily damaged infrastructure, or perhaps because of it, Iraq has the opportunity to leapfrog other neighboring countries with respect to the introduction of e-learning capabilities, not only for higher education, but also for technical education, continuing adult education, and corporate learning.
E-learning requires three major components: An efficient, high-bandwidth digital telecommunications infrastructure; middleware, or applications; and content.
The purpose of this orientation visit is to expose Iraqi decision-makers to the range of possibilities available in the E-Learning sector, including content, applications and infrastructure.
The business briefing took place on June 22, 2006.
