The IEA (the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement) decided in the late 1990s to start the Second Information Technology in Education Studies (SITES) consisting of a number of projects or modules. The central theme of SITES is to foster our understanding of how Information and Communication Technologies are affecting the way students learn in schools. In particular, SITES 2006 is the third international comparative study that will help to understand the way in which teachers and schools of different educational systems are using ICT in teaching and learning.
