The use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) can effectively enhance learning where traditional models have failed. While these technologies offer advantages, they also pose challenges; for individuals, communities, and societies. What form do these challenges take? What strategies can we use to overcome them? This book is an assembly of fifteen articles from experts concerned with the circumpolar north that offers ideas and reflections on these questions. On Top of It is an excellent resource for all residents of the arctic and elsewhere who have a stake in the issue of ICT and distance education: students, academics, policy makers, and politicians.
