Overall+comparasiom+and+conclusions

It would appear that South Korea and New Zealand have travelled down a similar, i.e. heavy investment from both governments in infrastructure, equipment and personal development. Both countries have a similar vision for their digital future. More importantly and disturbingly there are similar self seeking motives from potential partners and policy makers as they seek to place themselves in a position of power and social control.

In comparing these three countries and their current practices and future vision for e-learning it seems clear that Africa is a long way behind in both policy developement and infrastructure. Only a small number of countries have developed policies for e-learning in edcuation and a sigificant area of Africa still encounters problems with electricity and internet connections. Africa seems to be working around this problem by turning to solutions such as mobile phones for continuing e-learning practices, rather than developing the infrastructure.
