Between
1996
and 2003, the Academy
for Educational Development (AED) conducted the LearnLink Project,
funded by the United States Agency

LearnLink
implemented nearly twenty information, communication, and technology

Activities spanned 17 countries in three continents and strengthened

lessons learned from the field including the models
of use, case studies
