But the provision and use of ICTs requires workers and consumers who are skilled in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) - and these educational fields are often difficult to teach on a widespread basis or at low cost to the student and the economy. Several ICT-based education and training innovations, such as Massive Online Open Courses (MOOCs) and nanodegrees, promise to expand STEM availability and reduce training costs. The Aspire initiatives of one major ICT-focused corporation, AT&T, to promote ICT-based MOOC and nanodegree methods are highlighted. |
