Welcome to the ICDE Technology and Innovation Network
The Technology and Innovation Network is an ICDE member-led network of global participants interested in understanding and raising awareness of technology and innovation in education.
Watch our Introductory Video to find out more and Visit the ICDE website to apply to join.

The key objectives of the network:
- To explore the impact of Artificial Intelligence for learning and teaching innovation on a global scale through ICDE’s membership.
- To explore cross-institutional collaboration that leverages educational technologies and digital pedagogies leading to curriculum design that embeds global collaborative learning encompassing intercultural awareness and global competence
- To support members to learn in an open and safe environment about improving practice using educational technologies and pedagogies
- Globalisation of learning and collaboration – To lead initiatives where we learn from and adopt good global practices related to the use of technology-infused learning and teaching.
- Connect ICDE members and new research with current practices within the global community
Network activities that allow us to deliver these aims will be agreed within the network.
