Complexities of cultural diversity are interwoven into the social fabric of regions, states and transnational communities, and this is viewed as one of the most significant socio-economic challenges of this decade. In some countries and regions today’s ethic minority groups will become the majority illustrating both the unprecedented rise in both social and economic migration. Despite initiatives to foster positive and productive relationships among culturally diverse learners there is a distinct gap between theory and practice and this is compounded when considering the use of information and communications technologies (ICT). This is evidenced by unequal access to educational technology and limited support for the educational development of the ethnic minority and migrant learners. ICT has enormous potential to address exclusion and inequality.
