Introduction







Welcome to our Wiki, a study into the historical and continuing development of e-learning across three very different countries. We have selected the following three countries as our focus because of their differences and the variety of challenges they face, to facilitate a comparison and contrast document which will:


 * Identify implementation techniques in each country
 * Identify factors common to each country that lead to the effective implementation of e-learning in secondary education.

This focus will take the form of relevant published articles over the stated time period to provide information for accurate and relevant comparison and contrast.
 * New Zealand, a country working constantly to better their education system and provide learners with 21st century skills
 * New Zealand has an ambitious Ministry of Education that has the belief that professional development of teachers is the way to efficient ICT development.
 * South Korea, a self-proclaimed leader in e-learning and technology.
 * South Korea is an extremely wealthy country and has two major multi-national technology companies who help provide and maintain a significant infrastructure.
 * Africa, a continent that struggles to reach out to educate its people so looks for innovative ways.
 * Africa, outside the major cities, has little or no infrastructure and is travelling down the road of m-learning where cellphone use has become the major form of E-Learning.

To sum up South Korea is the upper class, New Zealand is the middle class and Africa is working class.
