초록

The rapid change of information and communication technologies (ICT) has resulted in a new gap, a digital divide between countries that can easily access ICT and digital information, and countries that lack accessibility of emerging information and communication technologies. Realizing the gap of digital divide through education, Korea launched a collaborative program called ‘APEC Cyber Education Network (ACEN)’ in 2001, targetting two economies: Indonesia and Thailand. This program provided workshops via ACEN Internet Volunteers (AIV) for training of the teachers’ capacity for economies’ beneficiary in the education of ICT. In 2003, this program has evolved into APEC Learning Community Builders (ALCoB) Internet Volunteers (AIV) program, and has continued until 2008. In this paper, we report our 8 years of experiences in collaboration between Korea and Indonesia through volunteers, and show the implications of a successful international cooperation model to overcome the digital divide between countries.
