Telecentros: un nuevo modelo de apropiación social de TICs -Choike

http://www.choike.org/nuevo/informes/3017.html
Durante las últimas décadas se ha registrado un aumento exponencial en la creación y desarrollo de nuevas tecnologías, especialmente las referidas a la información y comunicación. Sin embargo, la configuración mundial actual de disponibilidad de estas tecnologías evidencia una continuidad con las distribuciones desiguales de poder y riqueza, de modo que la llamada "brecha digital" emerge como subdimensión de la brecha económica entre países más y menos desarrollados. Estas inequidades también se registran al interior de las sociedades, especialmente en aquellas más pobres, donde los sectores de mayor nivel socioeconómico son los que concentran el acceso y la propiedad de las nuevas tecnologías.

GUS - Global University Project - Finnland

http://www.friends-partners.org/GLOSAS/Global_University/GU/Page/GlobalU1.htm
In this chapter, we describe the development of a global electronic university consortium to meet the challenge of global education in the twenty-first century by bringing together all kinds of higher education in- stitutions, governmental and non-governmental, business, and private, to exchange lectures and courses from country to country. We begin with a brief account of the steps taken over the past dozen years to pave the way for such an enterprise. Then we describe measures already being implemented to set in motion the first concrete phase: establishment of a Global/Pacific (electronic) University (GPU) Consortium. Questions of membership and organizational structure are discussed in light of GPU's intention to transcend cultural barriers, encouraging full participation from all levels of a global society. Finally it presents a specific agenda for the GPU in the upcoming year, and activities and initiatives planned for the near future.

First International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies and Development (ICTD2006)
May 25-26, 2006, Berkeley, California, U.S.A. http://sims.berkeley.edu/ictd2006

The past decade has witnessed an explosion in projects that apply information and communication technologies (ICT) to support socio-economic development. Every sector is involved ­ governments, academia, small start-ups, large corporations, inter-governmental organizations, and non-profits and non-governmental organizations. In spite of the
tremendous energy and resources behind these projects, scientifically sound research in this space is just beginning to emerge. What is the actual impact of ICT projects? What novel technology is required to meet development needs? What methodologies lead to success or failure of a project?

Dutch Academics Declare Research Free-For-All Posted by samzenpus on Thursday May 12, @05:46AM
from the free-knowledge dept.
houghi writes "The register reports how the Dutch open up their research to the rest of the world. It goes on to tell that commercial scientific publishers such as Elsevier Science are not happy with it. Will other countries and universities follow, or will they stick to the idea that knowledge is a commodity?"
