The development of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) technologies has changed the lives of human being throughout the world. Obviously differences exist on how these developments have impacted on developed and developing countries. E-learning is often viewed as a vehicle that can bridge the digital divide between rural and urban communities in sharing knowledge, enhancing educational qualifications, ensuring life-ling learning, contributing towards alleviating poverty and accompanying social social-economic problems. After assessing three community centres located in developing communities, the authors propose a model for the sustainable implementation of elearning in multi purpose community centres as a means to rural community developments.
