Susan Smith Nash writes at xplanazine about what happens when state-of-the-art e-learning technologies come to exclude people more than integrating them in the education system.
It is highly applicable to e-learning in underdeveloped regions, though Susan Smith goes one step beyond and his point of view can affect you, you and you.
I really like what she calls “Second Generation Digital Divide” as it is an aspect of daily debate in cooperation for development circles too: there’s no way sending your old desktop to the third world if they won’t be able to run it with the latest operating system version or text editor and spreadsheet.
