Abstract
Educational frameworks that leverage the value of ICTs need to be developed. Except for African based initiatives such as those of the Association of African Universities, African virtual Universities, and UbuntuNet Alliance, there are few advocacies that match the need for technology and improved Internet access to the demands for quality education, teaching and research. Policies are needed at the university, national, regional and continental levels to integrate technology use for teaching and learning in higher education institutions where literacies can be developed for online learning, research and inclusion in the information society and globalized world.
