infoDev’s series of "Knowledge Maps" on ICTs in education provides quick snapshots of what the research literature tells us about a number of key areas of information related to ICT use in education.   Each Knowledge Map is not meant to be an exhaustive catalog of everything that is known (or is debated) about the use of ICTs in education in a particular topic; rather, taken together they are an attempt to limn the general shapes of a very large body of knowledge and highlight certain issues in a format quickly accessible to busy policymakers.  In general, the infoDev knowledge mapping exercise is meant to point to key general assertions and gaps in the knowledge base of what is known about the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in education, especially as such knowledge may relate to the education-related Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).

This study is now complete and the final draft publication for this project is now available on-line.
