Hey Suemin, I’m responding to your comment here ^_^
So, this is Suemin’s comment to one of my previous posts on the advantages and disadvantages of E-Learning for the NGO Training Program.
“Love the table. It really outlines the harsh reality of what some learners are facing. It is an interesting thing to note that many of our assumptions are graded by our backgrounds. The majority of us have broadband internet at home and regularly use technology. Whether it is a generational thing or a socialisation thing, I think we are lucky as learners.
NGOs definately have a tough time trying to make their up-skilling a priority over clients and I think that e-learning will definately be able to assist them.”
And, because I have forgotten whether I can reply properly to her post and if she can see that response (HELP PLEASE, ANNE), I’ll just put my response here instead and she can see it on her aggregator 
Yes, I did this after our presentation with DoCS; I really needed to do something to solidify what was happening their context and create some boundaries and paramaters for my research with the group assignment. I did notice that when I was writing this, that I would type something, and then realise that I was making an assumption, and that it was incorrect. That my position, understanding, ability and access were different from what is the norm for them.
And then, I was just thinking the other day that Instant Messaging technology would really be great for the NGO’s in its social aspects, before I realised that not only was there the whole ‘technology’ and ‘download’ thing, but something far more basic… each NGO has only one email address. How do you form a relationship with someone, when everytime you contact their NGO, you talk to someone else???
