ALT-C 2008: Rethinking the Digital Divide

The digital divide tends to be seen as a problem of access whose 'solution' will bring a myriad of benefits. The reality may be quite different: technology, once supplied, may fall into disuse; connectivity may be in short supply, or too costly; lack of uptake may be a conscious and rational decision. The digital divide is multidimensional, rather than being mainly or only about access. This conference seeks to explore how under-served groups can make more effective use of learning technology. JISC infoNet will be exhibiting at this conference and one of our colleagues will be doing a presentation on the Tangible Benefits of e-Learning.
