Abstract | Although it is recognised that Accelerated Literacy and Information Literacy can help disadvantaged groups in both the developed and developing worlds improve their opportunities for developing their intellectual potential, there are a number of ethical issues that are invoked including equity and access. What came to be known as the Digital Divide is widening. The gap between the information haves and have-nots is widening. Digital exclusion, which has been noted even among different social groups in advanced economies, presents a huge challenge to international agencies, governments, scientists and educators. |
