@TomPieroni @karolinandre #fairkid You are right that these are obstacles that we can overcome. My main concern is that a lot of emphasis is put in improving the existing tools even more, rather than trying to adapt them to some countries or populations considered unprivileged.

@eastriviera @TomPieroni @karolinandre #faikid For me what is necessary for participation in online Collaborate sessions, is at least some basic skills of computer and internet knowledge and use. Unfortunately, many people are deprived of such skills. Finally, English knowledge is necessary.

@TomPieroni @karolinandre Yes I believe that online learning requies some literacy skills that are not equally and democratically offered to everyone.

@RitaElyanova @eastriviera #fairkid What about women who can't afford e-learning because they and their family strive to fulfill basic needs?Does MOOC bridge that gap?

[Konstantina Stasinou @KonStasinou]

@eastriviera @eastriviera #fairkid MOOC does not foster inequalities but it also doesn't seem to eliminate them. It addresses "the norm".

People from disadvantaged backgrounds have had little impact on online learning environments. The "usual suspects" are using them. #fairkid
