Selwyn, Neil; Gorard, Stephen; Williams, Sara

Studies in the Education of Adults, v34 n1 p23-41 Spr 2002

Interviews with 36 adult learners in information-communications technology (ICT) settings, using the concept of learning trajectories, revealed barriers to widening participation through ICT. In addition to technical shortcomings, social, economic, cultural, and political issues hinder the process, including lack of innovative instruction and human contact. (Contains 33 references.) (SK)
