OEIT’s engagement began with a needs assessment and site visit to advise EDC on the development and implementation of an online B.Ed (Hons) teacher education program in Pakistan funded by USAID.

- (3) Courses: Best Practices in Teaching and Learning, Games and Simulation-based Learning, and Mathlets
- (3) Workshops: Concept-based Learning, Innovative Educational Technologies, Online Learning Best Practices
