Beskrivning

Amidst the euphoria about the new frontiers of technology sometimes perceived as a panacea for expansion of higher education in developing countries, there is a need to analyze persistent and new grounds of unequal opportunity for access, learning, and the production of knowledge. This volume addresses fundamental questions about the educational process such as:· The use of technology in higher education for a holistic educational system for social development· The actual technological capacity in Africa and possibilities for virtual higher education· Cultural relevance of the curriculum and pedagogy· Pedagogy and gender in cyberspace education· Perils of externally-driven distance education programs in Africa and the quest for ownership towards development· Challenges and opportunities in the making of knowledge society in an Asian context· Strategies to promote constructive virtual higher education in Africa and Asia.
