Interesting post on the 'global elearning blog'
Educational content is still too expensive and inaccessible for many
developing countries, whether it is digital or traditional. As
connectivity rates increase dramatically, it makes sense to prepare
digital materials for these newly connected educational institutes,
teachers and young people. There are a number of interesting projects
worldwide to do this, including the Global Text Book project,
aiming to "create a free library of 1,000 electronic textbooks for
students in the developing world". These textbooks will cover areas
typically included in the first two years of undergraduate study - I'm
sure many developed world students will use them too.
