Description:
This book (available online in its entirety) is a great
reference on community- and information technology-based telecentres
in support of education and socio-economic development.
The book opens with a global overview of the multipurpose community
telecentre movement and discusses the key issues of ownership,
management, operational models and sustainability.
There follows a series of case studies of telecentres drawn from
Europe, North and South America, Africa, Asia and Australia.
The final chapters draw on the experiences, insights and findings of
some of the world’s leading experts in telecentres in regard to
evaluation, teleworking, training telecentre managers and staff, and
selecting and using technology. Published by The Commonwealth of
