Beyond “appropriate” technology. Mobilizing education for development
Anne Hewling, Barry Sesnan · Sammelpunkt - Elektronisch archivierte Theorie · 2010
Having established that technology mediated instruction of some kind has potential and a valuable role to play in education for on the move and remote area learners the paper looks at practice as documented and suggests that social and cultural barriers are a greater challenge than technological ones. It concludes by suggesting that successful implementation may depend both on use of familiar technology i.e. phones rather than internet, and establishing for users a social and cultural validity for using that technology for the delivery of education.
