Abstract

Information and communication technology (ICT) is one of the premier factors in the progress of the contemporary society. Albeit, its rewarding benefits and far reaching consequences have only widened the division between the developed and developing nations. We explore the major objectives of ICT education for the diffusion of knowledge in the developing world as one of the means to narrow the digital division, and the experience and the best practices based on the so called DSV model, conceived in the Department of Computer and Systems Sciences (DSV) at Stockholm University (SU).
