LANGKAWI, June 17 (Bernama) -- Chipmaker company, Intel Corporation is looking at wiring up to 300 universities in the Asia Pacific under its Mobile Initiative for Learning in Education (MILE) programme by end of next year, its director for Southeast Asia, Peter Chong said Friday.
He said that this was part of Intel's vision to "tune-up" the whole group of Asia population into a 'digital Asia's community' in the future (getting people to embrace information communications technology (ICT) and bridge the digital gap).
"The plan is to move Asia into a digital knowledge-based society," he told reporters at the Intel's Media Day.
"We want to transform the traditional boundary-limited university campuses into roaming, all access research libraries, allowing students and lecturers a more flexible learning and teaching environment," he said.
