Abstract

A case study in northeast Thailand involving a university and a community learning centre demonstrates the viability and potential of students helping communities use information and communication technologies for development (ICTD). The case study also shows the learning benefits to the students and to marginalized people in the community. This approach to helping communities use ICTD could be adopted more widely in the Asia and the Pacific region, especially to address such international priorities as the Sustainable Development Goals. This engagement with communities could also help universities become more relevant to their surroundings.
