Abstract

This position paper reports on the design of the Asia Pacific Internet Engineering (APIE) Program: an ICT education program for undergraduate students in the Asia-Pacific region that utilize multiple resources and learning content from existing ICT-related Communities of Practice (CoP). APIE program consists of four components: self-paced online courses, synchronous online sessions, an onsite camp, and an internship. The program structure has been strategically designed to position APIE not only as an online courseware for knowledge acquirement but anticipating its potential to become a new CoP that fulfills the gaps between the current ICT education and the expectation from academia and industry. This study first introduces the program concept and describes the design of components and the implementation plans. It also presents preliminary results from the first pilot runs of the program.
