2. Knowledge sharing/transfer
• Farmer to farmer
• Farmer to academia
• Academia to farmer
• Academia to academia

3. SEA Network Facility for Technology

5. Challenges of knowledge
sharing using ICT
• Access to ICT infrastructure
• cultural difference
• multi languages
• lack of voice (if it is a text article), expression
• lack of instant question and answer, thus will slow
down the learning pace.

6. H a n d s o n m e t h o d v s I C T m e t h o d
• Face to face interaction
• Fix venue
• Customize learning material
• Instant question and answer
session
• Customize pace
• Fix schedule and time
• Customize language and
method
• Costly in terms of manpower
in hands on session.
• Costly in terms of financial in
arranging hands on session
• Human and ICT gadget
interaction
• Flexible venue
• Standard learning material
• Offline question and answer
session
• On your own pace.
• Flexible schedule and time
• Fixed method and not so flexible
language selection.
• Cheaper learning method if
there is available ICT gadget
and infrastructure.

7. How to express a technology
• Scientific term full text.
• Simple term full text.
• Simple term full text with picture.
• Simple term full text with video and voice.
• Hands on workshop.

8. Conclusion and Going Forward
• Motivate farmers to share their indigenous farming knowledge.
• Transforming scientific paper into simplest understand form.
• ICT platform as a compilation / dictionary / database for SRI practise.
• ICT platform as a complement to hands on training.
• First hand information.
• First phase of early capacity building in the community before the
actual hands on training.
• Follow up revision / self learning after the hands on training.
