> peer reviewed papers and six papers "From the Field" report on work in

> 
> IJEDICT is an e-journal that provides free and open access to all of its
> content. IJEDICT aims to strengthen links between research and practice in
> ICT in education and development in hitherto less developed parts of the
> world, e.g., developing countries (especially small states), and rural and
> remote regions of developed countries.
> 
> The emphasis is on providing a space for researchers, practitioners and
> theoreticians to jointly explore ideas using an eclectic mix of research
> methods and disciplines. It brings together research, action research and
> case studies in order to assist in the transfer of best practice, the
> development of policy and the creation of theory. Thus, IJEDICT is of
> interest to a wide-ranging audience of researchers, policy-makers,
> practitioners, government officers and other professionals involved in
> education or development in communities throughout the world.
