The purpose of this study is to analyze the research trends in the South Korean Official Development Assistance (ODA), by examining the papers of degree thesis papers, project reports, and academic journals published from 2000 to 2015, as well as investigating and proposing the themes for future studies. According to the rubrics of analysis, from numerous papers, twelve thesis, twelve reports and eight academic journals were selected and considered following five analysis criteria; namely, published year, stakeholder of study, project procedure, methodology, and relevance to MDGs, the Millennium Development Goals. The results of the analysis are as follows: first, the papers associated with South Korean ODA for Ethiopia were published in 2008 for the first time. With steadily increasing numbers of thesis, reports, and journals, following after 2008, researches have conducted studies vigorously since 2011. However, investigations on the South Korean ODA for Ethiopia are noticeably insufficient, in comparison to the grant aids and concessional loans paid thus far. Secondly, the analysis appeared in twelve papers published by universities, eleven by government authorities, and eight by specialty magazines. Upon closer inspection, the government authority indicated Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA), and eight other specialty magazines, as well as the following: Korea Water Resources Association2), Korean Association of African Studies3), Korea Society of Agricultural Extension4), Korean Journal of Health Education and Promotion5), Journal of International Collaboration in Education6), Korea Research Society for Customs7),Perspectives in Nursing Science, The Women’s Studies8). Third, project procedure utilized as the criteria for the analysis. As a result, one feasibility study conducted in 2012 and 2013, one planning study in 2008 and 2010, two planning studies in 2013, one evaluation study in 2011 were identified. However, each project procedure paper for the 25 projects launched thus far were difficult to find. Papers for those have no relevance with ODA projects, and were considered as other studies. Fourth, papers relevant to the MDGs stand as such; 11 papers were linked with MDG 2, ‘Achieve universal primary education’. Three papers had relevance to MDG 1, ‘Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger’, one to MDG 3, ‘Promote gender equality’, three to MDG 5, ‘Improve maternal health’, four to MDG 6, ‘Combat HIV/AIDS malaria, and other diseases’, two to MDG 7, ‘Ensure environmental sustainability’, seven to MDG 8, ‘Develop a global partnership for development’. There were no papers connected with MDG 4, ‘Reduce child mortality’. Therefore, based on this trend analysis, broader spectrums and diverse methods of study should be implemented for the future studies with regard to the South Korean ODA for Ethiopia.

As an economy with archipelago contour and one of the largest populations in the world, Indonesia faces specific challenges in utilizing ICT for education nationwide. The present study provides a systematic categorization of such challenges into four categories based on Kim YoungHwan’s categorization of ICT utilization challenges, and then breaks down such categories into more explanatory sub-categories, along with order of frequency. Hence, this study aims at systematically describing challenges in utilizing ICT in Indonesia.

The purpose of this study is to discuss and analyze the trends in ICT in education informatization and the need for more scholarly research and dialogue done between Korea and Chile due to their similar ideals in furthering ICT in education in their respective economies. In result of this, 29 individual and team reports submitted by Chilean trainees in the APEC eLearning Trainee Program from 2006-2014 were analyzed. From this study, the results based on the reports were as follows. 1) The need for high quality teacher training programs created by the government and motivating the teachers to participate in these programs. 2) Implementation of more cooperation and collaboration between teacher-student, teacher-expert, and publicprivate partnership programs. 3) Improving students’ aptitude in utilizing ICT, especially in education. 4) Due to the majority of the trainees’ coming from the teaching profession, more research is needed to be done by other stakeholders involved in education informatization, such as government officials, learners, and professors, in order to enhance the totality of this study.

As e-Learning is now widely used in many countries and for many purposes, universities have also utilized e-Learning for effective teaching and learning, including Thai universities. Effective delivery of e-Learning is therefore an ultimate goal for teaching and learning in an e-Learning environment. More importantly, the impact of Mobility on e-Learning should not be overlooked, as it may provide possibilities for learners to learn without the limitation of presence and time. This study surveys teachers of the e-Learning Professional Certificate Program, one of Thailand Cyber University (TCU)’s flagship e-Learning courses, for their perspectives in Mobility and e-Learning Delivery Methodologies, particularly in the Integrative method as described by the North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service. Results have divided the Delivery modes with the application of Mobility into two groups. As a result of this study, the Integrative Delivery modes of twenty-two choices that have been preferences among fourteen TCU experts include a Discussion Group, Forum, Brainstorming, Conference, and Buzz Group. In the TCU experts’ point of view, to carry out e-Learning classes, it is important to motivate the passive learner to participate actively and to have the learners more interact more and have more mobility in sharing opinions and participating. While mobility may improve e-Learning delivery in many aspects, physical contact may still be needed for some modes, such as Personal and Office visits.

As to the unexpected future and rapid changes of technologies, world famous scholars and experts have deliberated an ideal model of future society and suggested a way to overcome future challenges. APEC Future Education Consortium seek to develop a community model of future education, embodying a 'Total-supporting System, ' and advancing research activities to meet the challenges of the IT-based future society while emphasizing a value oriented society and considering the harmony between technologies and human beings through implementing the EduPark.
