The initial idea was to use this site to explore global e-learning issues. This idea is still in place. I have been quite busy of late, but I have to explore this further. The roles of ICT is globalized. As indicated in my earlier blog, International Development organizations are promoting universal access to telecommunications as part of the initiatives. A lot has been done in Africa already, but there is more to do when it comes to infrastructure and software development. The emergence of open software is an area worthy of study. Hope to get back to this topic later.
Meanwhile, the ratio of person-to-computer is high, plus high cost of access, relative to other economically endowed places and global average. Based on partnerships between and across Africa, the New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD) is promoting an African-owned and Africa-led effort to accelerated economic growth. The ICT initiative project is a priority. Fast track programs are being implemented for ICT literacy fluency, benefit awareness and technology professional development. I can't wait to see how far the programs have advanced to meet its goals. Again the NEPAD initiative calls for further study to see how far the program is meeting the needs of its clients on the African continent, and in education. Will be back!
