Material Detail

This is “Bridging the Digital Divide-Intel World Ahead program.” Particularly interesting about the site are Intel’s case studies, which cover all continents. By clicking on the world map one can easily access each case study, from Peru, Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Nigeria, Ghana, New Zealand, Portugal and New Orleans.

Each case study deals with specific challenges, while for each of these challenges a concrete solution is offered. The overall goal is to bridge the digital divide. Some of the solutions are: increasing accessibility by providing technological recourses and technical expertise, increasing technical capacity, training officials and educators, providing free access to computers or by offering good deals to purchase PCs.

The benefits of this recourse are providing greater accessibility to larger number of users, enabling user all over the world to exchange information making global learning communities. The weakness is limitation to small number of users (limited accessibility).

Exchange of different experience regarding background of the learners could be an interesting topic for research.
