ABSTRACT The sudden influx of refugees into countries around the world has caused a complicated, multi-faceted, international refugee crisis. Refugees, whether in camps or urban areas, face a myriad of problems and obstacles, yet one of the most critical issues young refugees face is the lack of educational opportunities and/or resources. United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund warns that this lack of education could potentially create a “lost generation” which may lead to serious implications, not only for these young refugees but also to surrounding, nearby societies. This paper seeks to understand if and how Information and Communication Technology (ICTs) have been reported in the literature as being used in different contexts to connect young refugees with high quality educational opportunities, and whether the urban or camp contexts impact these opportunities. The results of this review of the literature indicate that a number of different ICTs have successfully been used in a variety of different educational settings and for a variety of purposes. Additionally, where a refugee lives could impact the accessibility and nature of the ICT tools available to provide an education.

支持难民远程教育:文献回顾

摘要 难民突然涌入世界各国,引发了一场复杂的、多方面的国际难民危机。难民,无论是在营地还是在城市地区,都面临着无数的问题和障碍,但年轻难民面临的最关键的问题之一是缺乏教育机会和/或资源。联合国国际儿童紧急基金会警告说,缺乏教育可能会造成“迷失的一代”,这可能会导致严重影响,不仅对这些年轻难民,而且对周围、附近的社会也有影响。本文旨在了解文献中是否以及如何报告信息和通信技术 (ICT) 被用于不同的环境,以将年轻难民与高质量的教育机会联系起来,以及城市或营地环境是否会影响这些机会。文献回顾的结果表明,许多不同的 ICT 已成功地用于各种不同的教育环境并用于各种目的。此外,难民居住的地点可能会影响可用于提供教育的 ICT 工具的可访问性和性质。
