Available literature indicates that technology in education in developing countries is a mirage. Others belief the Internet will be indispensable for especially Africa's continued development. Studies show that Ghana, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Burkina, Faso and Kenya among others, have achieved some successes in addressing issues relating to effective utilization of computers and the Internet in education.
The Association of African Universities is a TCP/IP system that was created to connect African Universities. For example, Ghana's three premier universities are all connected to the Internet. Most of the departments, faculty and individuals use the system for research and communication, such as e-mails and Internet access. But, is that enough? Is it possible to move past these basics? What are the challenges?
Think about it!
