Unpacking Transnational Policy: Learning to Bridge the Digital Divide

Learning to Bridge the Digital Divide is a text produced by, and apparently primarily intended for, educational policy makers on national and international levels. Its genesis is located in the Fifth NCAL/OECD Roundtable entitled The Lifelong Learning and New Technologies Gap: Reaching the Disadvantaged, held at the U.S. National Center on Adult Literacy (NCAL), University of Pennsylvania, 8-10 December 1999. The roundtable brought together educators and policy makers from around the world to share experiences and strategies for tackling the growing gulf of experience, access, and learning among haves and have-nots in the realm of digital information technologies.
