Summary

In this section, we looked at the attempts made to connect remote learners to the larger community through the use of ICT. In this process, we analysed some viable strategies of using ICT in reaching the remote communities which led us to appreciate how ICT is being introduced in Malaysian rural schools. An excellent example that reflects this is the e-Bario project in the secluded areas of Sarawak. Finally, we explored the integration of ICT in distance education which emerged as an effective alternative in providing educational provisions to rural areas.
