Abstract

Higher education faces multiple problems in the new millennium, and these are especially acute in developing countries, where expansion is taking place at the same time that state financing is declining and the challenges of technology, access and the maintenance of quality loom ever larger. The idea of the multifunctional digital centre (MDC) provides an important solution to some of the problems faced by higher education in developing countries and has lessons for industrialised nations as well.
