It will re-address the aims and objectives which were provided in Section 1 and also address some significant changes which became evident while and after the implementation occurred. The Sections above provided evidence of how the ICT4RED initiative was managed and developed over a period of three years through the application of Design Science Research in three different iterations (one school, then 11 schools and finally 14 schools) in four phases (cf Table 1-3 in Section 1). After every phase the feedback from all the stakeholders, teachers, district officials and community were noted and these were used to improve the components for the next phase. The phases also assisted in refining the various artefacts in all the 12 components.enInformation Communication Technology for Rural Education DevelopmentICT4REDICT4RED initiativeBook ChapterHerselman, M.
