碩士 === 元智大學 === 資訊管理學系 === 99 === “Digital Divide” is a changing concept. According to different historical backgrounds and different development situation of countries, scholars may have different points of view regarding “Digital Divide.” The discussion of digital divide might be about the availability of telephony and computer equipment as well as the internet penetration rate for under-developed countries in the aspect of information technology infrastructure. While it is more about the differentiations of internet access rate, ability of information usage and digital skills among various communities for countries with well-developed information technology. To provide a better environment for information access and to cultivate the digital character, providing courses of information applications as a way to reduce the communications and digital divide is well-received worldwide. This research, based on a number of ongoing programs of Chunghwa Telecom Foundation, is aimed to evaluate and analyze the effectiveness of decreasing the “Digital Divide”.
