Exploring Technology-enhanced Learning Options to Improve the Quality of Higher Forestry Education

Recent advances in information and communication technologies (ICTs) and contributions of learning technology standards open up new avenues to facilitate the integration of technology-enhanced learning into higher forestry education worldwide. They not only help to make progress towards an open global learning infrastructure to educate students, but also to provide continuing education to professionals in the forestry sector. Using the innovation systems perspective, this paper examines the supporting role of technology-enhanced learning in strengthening higher forestry education within the wider context of the forestry value chain, while mapping the linkages between capacity building and good forest governance involving ICTs.
