| Summary: | Information and communications
technologies (ICTs) are developing fast and triggering
fundamental changes in education system. This case study
focuses on institution building, which can manage such a
fundamental transition in education system on a national
scale. Following a short introduction, a theoretical
framework is discussed. This case study attempts to
investigate the birth and growth of Korea Education and
Research Information Service (KERIS) and explores the role
of KERIS in planning and implementing one quite prominent
strategic initiative to introduce innovative practices
within the Korean education system - the cyber home learning
system (CHLS). The objective of this case study is to find
out key factors that the government needs to consider for
successful institution building and those that determines
the accomplishments of the missions assigned to KERIS. Using
the CHLS policy case, in addition, the authors explore how
KERIS implemented the CHLS policy in cooperation with
regional offices of education, which are autonomous and in
charge of education policy in each region in Korea. This
case study will provide rich experiences that policy makers
can refer to when they plan to build a similar institution
or restructure an existing one. |
