power and politics (or social dynamics) of the on-line classroom, the politics
of getting a large organization, like a university, to adopt educational
technologies to promote specific political agendas in classrooms (e.g., the
utilization of the Web during the Obama campaign to promote support for the
presidential candidate Obama among school children), the use of on-line
technologies for ideological indoctrination or "influencing" in the
educational systems of extremist groups of all religions and issues of power
and politics that are related to the on-line education of special needs
minorities such as people who are physically/intellectually challenged, people
of color, women, migrants, and so forth. <a name="_GoBack"></a>The changing
dimensions of ‘technology’ and ‘learning’ have significant impact globally. <span style="color:black">The recent success of China and India in moving into the
production of high value-added, high-technology products has caused political
leaders and their advisors to re-evaluate the global economic challenge. The
OECD recently acknowledged that emerging economies including China and India
were moving up the value chain to compete with Western organizations for
high-tech products and R&D investment.<span class="A9"><span style="mso-ansi-font-size:12.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">
</span></span>There has been major growth in all OECD countries for expansion
into higher education. Canada was the first country to achieve the target of
over 50 percent of people aged 25 and 34 to enter the job market with a
tertiary level qualification, followed by Korea, which has engineered a massive
growth in tertiary provision since 1991. While much of the international business
and policy literature has focused on education, globalization, the use of innovation
and creative enterprise; it has ignored the shift towards global
standardization or alignment within companies, where technology is the key
enabler and facilitator.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span></span></span></p>
