【 摘 要 】
The digital divide refers to the gap between individuals, households, businesses and geographic areas at different socio-economic levels with regard to their opportunities to access information and communication technology (ICT) and their use of the Internet. On-line learning is an Internet-based technology that provides people with unprecedented opportunities to learn anytime and anywhere in their own environment using ICT. It can be regarded as a way to bridge the digital gap among individuals. This study focuses on unemployed adult population to explore the socio-demographics of the digital divide in Taiwan. Through the empirical study, we can identify certain on-line learning characteristics of the specific user groups, and also can understand their affective and behavioral scales concerning computer attitudes and computer anxiety with respect to individual differences in gender, age, and educational level.
