ABSTRACT
While modern information and communications technologies (ICTs) pose a number of challenges and constraints for developing countries, they also open up many opportunities for meaningful and productive collaboration between the technologically developed and the developing countries or regions. But this will not happen automatically or as a matter of natural process. It will call for careful planning, purposeful implementation, and systematic evaluation at every stage in the process. Indeed, there will have to be demonstrable benefits to be derived from any technological venture involving two or more partners, and, needless to say, the benefits will have to be mutual and complementary. The traditional view of media and technologies flowing in one direction is no longer tenable in the context of a ‘borderless’ educational environment offering new learning opportunities.
