1. Background

Kampong Thom Provincial Teacher Training College (PTTC) is located in the province of Kampong Thom, in the middle of Cambodia. This school was built in the 1980s and has become the only school for training pre-service teachers for primary education. The school offers a two-year training program and produces approximately over a hundred primary school teachers every year. This new academic year (2014-2015), the school plans to recruit 190 primary pre-service teachers to fulfill the needs of primary schools in the province. Recently, the Cambodian Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports has provided a computer room, which was funded by Asian Development Bank (ADB) through the Enhancing Education Quality Project (EEQP). The room is equipped with 30 computers and wireless and Ethernet internet access. Nevertheless, these materials seem a bit complicated due to the lack of human resources in our computer science department. However, the school has faced a big challenge in how to utilize those materials effectively in transferring ICT skills to both trainer teachers and trainee students.
