Project Goal
The project aims at investigating the actual uses of ICTs in learning experiences at the UWI and how eLearning is provided and perceived at UWIOC.
Two main research fields are concerned: ICT4D (Information and Communication Technologies for Development) thread of studies and the “generation Y” and “digital natives” issues.
UWIOC is a really interesting reality because it provides online courses for the 15 nations of Caribbean which is, for some of them (e.g. Anguilla), the only available access to university.
Active on: e-ethnography, generation Y, ICT4D
