Resumen
Descripción
Indigenous knowledge (IK) is usually
shared among local communities and transferred from one
generation to the next, through oral traditions and
story-telling. The IK distance learning course was an effort
to facilitate this process across four countries and two
continents. Information communications technology (ICTs)
enabled the bridging of the geographical and perceptional
distance between the 102 participants, through the
videoconference facilities of the global development
learning network. The course effectively demonstrated how
leveraging traditional and modern knowledge systems can help
address development challenges.
