Progress Report on APEC Projects

Status/Progress and Problems

Current status of project: APEC Learning Community for Shared Prosperity (ALCom) is intended to implement international

cooperative activities originating from the APEC Learning Community Builders (ALCoB). With membership increasing to 5,500 members involved in voluntary activities, cooperative projects, international conferences, and workshops with other member economies, this project is focused not only on qualitative enhancements to ALCoB’s capacities, but also fostering autonomous and creative activities leading to international cooperation in the APEC region. Accordingly, this has resulted in more systematic participation in APEC activities by various

sectors in the education field (schoolteachers and students), extending to government officials and even entrepreneurs. Based on this systemic organization, ALCom activities are planned voluntarily and autonomously implemented by its members, with support from member economies, to maintain and strengthen efforts to attain educational cooperation for shared prosperity. ALCoB’s human network component received noteworthy attention from member economies at

the 4th APEC Education Ministerial Meeting (AEMM) in 2008, at which a Joint Statement cited its ability to aid each of our Economies' individual education systems and provide a strong focus on EDNET’s role in building capacity and in contributing to creating learning societies with educational opportunities for all populations.

On schedule (Yes) Within budget (Yes) Objectives APEC Learning Community for Shared Prosperity (ALCom) aims to narrow the digital divide within the APEC region based on the human network connected by online and offline education-related activities. This connection is essential for grasping educational and cultural gaps, as well as for exchanging ICT-related information and knowledge among the APEC member economies under the auspices of the APEC Learning Community.

Linkages, Methodology, Budget 1. Linkages The core of this project is the APEC Learning Community Builders, ALCoB, consisting of

teachers, learners, and supporters (e.g., education administrators, scholars, experts, entrepreneurs). Equipped with English language ability and specialized ICT skills, they engage in educational and cultural exchange among international ALCoB members.

In practice, ALCoB members are not merely beneficiaries of this project, but also serve as the creative producers of international cooperative activities. One expected outcome is that they will elicit participation from their local communities, such as volunteer assistance from parents of ALCoB learners and others interested in international cooperation in the area of education.

2. Methodology ALCom is implemented through on/offline ALCoB activities and relevant academic projects as

follows: - Selecting and managing the ALCoB human network - Operating/facilitating the online community: ALCoB.org (www.alcob.org) - Convening offline conferences: International ALCoB Conference and other onsite events

- Promoting volunteer program: ALCoB Internet Volunteers (AIV) - Supporting team-based collaborative activities: ALCoB Cooperative Project - Publishing international journal: Asia-Pacific Collaborative education Journal (APCJ)

3. Budget We have implemented these projects within the budget plan and tried to organize the whole project economically and effectively. In 2011, Korea’s Ministry of Education, Science and Technology (MEST) provided continuous support for the projects of ALCom. In addition, with the increasing participation of ALCoB-EC (ALCoB Entrepreneur Committee), financial support from the private sector has also been given in the area of ALCoB Internet Volunteer (AIV) activities. Gender Considerations While this project does not involve any constraints related to gender issues, we recommend that

ALCoB members consider this issue in order to contribute to achieving a proportional balance in the ratio of female and male participants in their activities.

Progress since last report:

Since its initial steps, ALCom has contributed to the significant growth of international cooperation in education through ALCoB activities. With an increasing number of participants and expanding scope of activities, ALCom is regarded as an effective international cooperative project both qualitatively and quantitatively. In particular, the tripartite structure of this project allows ALCoB members to carry out their activities while receiving support in the form of technical advice and the provision of ICT-related hardware & software.

As a result of placing emphasis on autonomy and voluntary self-driven activities, ALCoB groups have taken the initiative to plan and implement of ALCom activities on their own, and have sought organic relations with other international cooperative activities.

As one of the leading educational human networks in the APEC region, APEC Learning Community Builders (ALCoB) was officially recognized in the Joint Statement at the 4th APEC Education Ministerial Meeting (AEMM) in 2008 for its activities as a key human network contributing to progress in EDNET and creating learning societies with educational opportunities for all populations in the APEC region. It is significant that ALCoB has been validated for its ongoing efforts to help narrow the digital divide and crystallize the vision of future education in the APEC region.

In 2011, like much of the online world, we focused on social networks on the Internet, increasing the breadth and depth of opportunities for communication by enabling ALCoB members to create online cafés and blogs for specific topics and audiences. This resulted in more focused exchange among members according to their common interests and collaborative projects. In 2011, too, ALCoB extended its geographic range beyond the APEC region, welcoming new members from the Middle East. With ALCoB increasing in size and scope, members’ efforts to promote cooperation and exchange among people and expertise within APEC region are vigorous and sustained.

APEC Learning Community Builders (ALCoB)

After its launch and every year since then, ALCoB has taken a leading role in activities throughout this project, and generated impressive practical educational outcomes based on an accumulation of knowledge and experience. As of January 2012, around 5,000 ALCoB leading members from 21 economies, including APEC member economies as well as economies in the Middle East, have participated in this project, and the number of participants has been steadily rising since 2003 (see Appendices 1 and 2). The accomplishments of previous activities enable those with an interest in international cooperation to join in the human network. For instance, many members of APEC ICT Model School Network (MSN) and trainees of the APEC e-Learning Training Program joined ALCoB, and students who served as volunteers for ALCom projects in the APEC region have also

joined the community. In addition, participants and beneficiaries of the AIV program and teachers/students who participated in ALCoB Cooperative Projects have been registered as ALCoB members.

ALCoB members are regarded as very effective and of excellent quality; the number of participants is increasing through lively implementation of activities at the local level, fostering autonomous ALCoB communities that operate voluntarily. This was demonstrated by, for instance, the activities of Indonesia’s ALCoB, which has spread to 31 regions. Eight Indonesian ALCoB members voluntarily carried out a program involving ICT-use in education by producing a website. In fact, ALCoBs in each economy initiated activities on their own, with ICT-use in education as the focal point. In Korea, ALCoB teachers participated in a training course to develop expertise in international education collaboration.

In terms of accomplishments in the area of organizing, additional overseas ALCoB groups were organized, and there was revitalization of ALCoB activities among groups of education specialists. ALCoB groups were organized by economy, and steering committees were formed (each comprised of a president, vice president, and coordinator). At the 2011 ALCoB Future Education Conference, Viet Nam and Malaysia expressed the intention of establishing ALCoB organizations this year, each sending an ALCoB president, vice president, and coordinator to the steering committee meeting. Meanwhile, Indonesia ALCoB-EC held an inauguration ceremony.

Online Community: ALCoB.org (www.alcob.org) (see Appendix 3)

Online activity is one of the most important and essential components of ALCom for encouraging continuous communication among member economies, towards implementing cooperative activities such as ALCoB cooperative projects and AIV, and for sharing educational ideas and cultural information. Since being launched in 2005 as the gateway for the ALCom project to provide ‘One-Stop’ service for ALCoB members and others, this online community has aimed not only to share knowledge and information on international cooperation in education but also to provide access to appropriate information on relevant fields and organizations. Essentially, this community aims to serve as a hub for users to connect and gather the information and knowledge they need.

By adding functions to the ALCoB website enabling ALCoB members to create online cafés and blogs according to various themes and interests, the online ALCoB community has been invigorated both in Korea and overseas. In 2011, the combined total number of hits for the ALCoB website and associated cafés, namely ALCoB café, was 101,740, a sizable increase over the previous year’s total of 95,562. In 2011, members made 2,038 posts at the ALCoB website and ALCoB café, representing an average of 175 posts per month.

International ALCoB Conference

The International ALCoB Conference is an annual onsite activity in which ALCoB reviews the progress of activities such as ALCoB Cooperative Projects and ALCoB Internet Volunteer (AIV) activities, and seeks understanding of education and culture in the member economies through various exchange programs.

In 2011, the 3-day 9th International ALCoB Conference was held in conjunction with the 7th APEC Future Education Forum from November 14-16 in Bali, Indonesia, under the theme ‘Systemic Change and Shared Prosperity in APEC by Utilizing ICT.’ A total of 246 participants from 12

economies (Republic of Korea, Indonesia, Brunei Darussalam, People’s Republic of china, Malaysia, Mexico, The Philippines, Russia, Chinese Taipei, Thailand, Viet Nam, and The United States) and 3 international organizations reported on their annual activities and shared best practices of ALCoB, one of the leading education networks in the APEC region. Particularly, the 9th International ALCoB Conference has a deeper meaning to be held in Indonesia which has 31 local ALCoB Chapters. Indonesia Ministry of Education and Culture co-hosted the conference by greatly supporting human, financial, and physical resources. At this conference, various events including an ALCoB Orientation and Workshop, ALCoB-T Workshop, ALCoB Youth Forum, ALCoB-EC Workshop, and ICT Model Classes were held, among others, fostering effectiveness of the ALCoB network (see Appendix 4 for more details). Moreover, AEEP (ALCoB Edutainment Exchange Program) was held as a pilot test for the 5th APEC Education Ministerial Meeting to be held in Gyeongju, Korea, 2012.

ALCoB Internet Volunteers (AIV)

In contrast with most ordinary volunteer work, the AIV program features reciprocal sharing between dispatched members and program participants, benefiting volunteers and learners alike as they share knowledge and information about education and culture. With the results so far achieved, many of ALCoB members including teachers, university students, and parents have applied to participate in the AIV program at their own expense, based on the volunteerism of APEC.

In 2011, the AIV program reached approximately 655 local educators, teachers, students, and education department administrators from 5 member economies, i.e., Russia (Moscow), the Philippines, Thailand, Viet Nam and Indonesia, with 59 volunteers being dispatched (see Appendix 5). The AIV program has been developed and increasingly specialized with a spectrum of activities consisting of several training programs on using ICT and multimedia authoring tools, AEEP (ALCoB Edutainment Exchange Program), repair and upgrading of hardware and software, cultural exchange activities, ICT simulation classes, school visits, volunteer activities, and so forth. In Indonesia, Viet Nam, Thailand and Philippines, cultural exchange classes were held utilizing ICT. One of Indonesia’s notable main activities was STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics) training, covering advanced educational technology from Korea, which was offered to strengthen teachers’ capabilities. During the Philippines AIV, AEEP passed a pilot test for the next AEEP to be held this year in connection with the 5th APEC Education Ministerial Meeting. In

addition, consultations took place concerning the 34th HRDWG meeting and 5th APEC Education Ministerial Meeting. Above all, the AIV program has shown remarkable qualitative improvements by deepening the specialization of content of international training programs based on problem-solving, as well as consulting on domestic education strategies.

In addition, with entrepreneurs from the private sector such as ALCoB-EC providing support by donating the latest hardware and software for students in the beneficiary economies, the program is expected to contribute to narrowing the digital divide in the APEC region and to activating economic exchange and activities within the APEC region.

ALCoB Cooperative Project

As a rule, ALCoB reviews this project through both online and offline activities for a year after international teams are set up, consisting of members from the APEC region. ALCoB Cooperative Project refers to a team working to advance collaborative activities under various topics, including school subjects, culture, environmental issues, and study & training suggested by ALCoB in APEC.

Since ALCoB implemented the ‘ALCoB Cooperative Project’ program, it has been providing meaningful chances to enhance educational cooperative activities, including sharing of knowledge and experience as well as cultural exchange between ALCoB members in the APEC region. After each round of projects are completed, the project team members present their activities at the International ALCoB Conference, so that member economies can share in and evaluate their project results; recognition is also given to outstanding practice teams through awards.

From the first round in 2004 up to the eighth round of ALCoB Cooperative Project in 2011, a total of 74 projects have been successfully completed (see Appendix 6). In the eighth round in 2011, 9 member economies (Brunei Darussalam, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, the Philippines, Russia (Rep. of Sakha), Thailand, and the United States) were involved in 10 general projects (see Appendix 7). This year’s projects focused on vitalizing international exchange activities, cultural exchange on education, developing outstanding curriculum, and investigating best practices. In addition, it gave ALCoB members opportunities to share international exchange experiences and promote vitalization of international educational cooperation activities.

Asia-Pacific Collaborative education Journal (APCJ)

As an academic component of this project, the Asia-Pacific Collaborative education Journal (APCJ) has been published since 2004. This international academic journal serves as a global forum to gather, refine, and share knowledge and experiences among APEC economies in order to expand the knowledge base and enhance the efficient use of information, and to contribute ideal future education through valuable expert advices from a range of viewpoints.

APCJ is expected to open new horizons for scholars, researchers, and specialists so that they can deepen their understanding of cyber education and realize a vision of future education in APEC member economies. APCJ aims to foster communication between academia and practitioners in the field, to share knowledge and information by disseminating the outcomes of international cooperative projects among APEC member economies, to help narrow the digital divide among APEC economies by sharing information and knowledge about education in the APEC region, and, more generally, to promote a shared vision and prosperity in APEC, and to discuss the APEC vision of "tripartization” involving cooperation between government, academia, and the private business sector to inspire the creation of knowledge.

Issued semiannually, volume 7 was published in 2011 with two issues (Vol. 7, Nos. 1&2) containing eight research articles on topics related to research and practical examples of APEC international education cooperation & Future education (see Appendix 8). The URL for the APCJ website is www.acecjournal.org.

APCJ is distributed online to prominent scholars and world-renowned academic associations. It is

also printed in paper format, and about 100 copies of each issue are distributed.

Volumes to date: APCJ Vol. 1, No. 1, 2004 distributed online and in print APCJ Vol. 1, No. 2, 2005 distributed online and in print APCJ Vol. 2, Nos. 1 & 2, 2006 distributed online and in print APCJ Vol. 3, Nos. 1 & 2, 2007 distributed online and in print APCJ Vol. 4, Nos. 1 & 2, 2008 distributed online and in print APCJ Vol. 5, Nos. 1 & 2, 2009 distributed online and in print APCJ Vol. 6, Nos. 1 & 2, 2010 distributed online and in print APCJ Vol. 7, Nos. 1 & 2, 2011 distributed online and in print

Future Steps

In 2011, ALCoB again went beyond the APEC region, integrating new members from the Middle East. ALCoB is positioned as a brand name representing human networks equipped to perform valuable activities encompassing learning and sharing knowledge, information, and experience.

In 2012 as well, ALCoB will endeavor to recruit more members desiring to share their talents, including teachers, students, specialists, policy-makers, and entrepreneurs.

This year, the 10th International ALCoB Conference will convene with the ALCoB Edutainment Exchange Program (AEEP) in historic Gyeongju, Korea, where the 5th APEC Future Education Ministerial Meeting will be held in May. It is expected that this event will showcase best practices of tripartite collaboration of government, industry, and academia.

With respect to AIV activities, a group of volunteers consisting of teachers, students, and specialists will be dispatched to six economies, namely the Philippines, Indonesia, Viet Nam, Thailand, Russia, and Papua New Guinea, between February and August. Their activities will include delivering training on ICT utilization for teaching/learning, as well as education and cultural exchange programs. Of particular note is a chance for students to take part in AEEP, a project-based experiential program. These activities will offer students an opportunity to understand and share education- and culture-related knowledge from each member economy.

Through the Asia-Pacific Collaborative education Journal (APCJ), educational experts, policy-makers, and researchers from APEC member economies will be able to share theories and best practices of international education collaboration, future education, and other related topics.
