Abstract
In a world of rapid technological advances, the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in educational contexts has grown exponentially. Similarly, the form and focus of research into ICTs for lifelong; life-wide learning and development and the resultant contributions to the literature are extremely diverse. This chapter brings a capacity-building lens to explore ways in which ICTs can be employed in holistic ways to assist learners. Research data are drawn from: research into the practices of a university research team; an inquiry into technology-enhanced lifelong learning in a small, rural Australian Community Informatics project; and a study of the use of remote access laboratory technology for an international collaborative learning activity involving primary school students in two countries.
