The digital divide means more than having access to ICTs. It also means that a person has the necessary ICT literacy skills needed to learn and succeed in an ICT-mediated learning environment. ICT literacy includes the ability to access, manage, integrate, evaluate, and create information. These skills are regulated by the appropriate cognitive styles, which allows an individual to acquire, process, store, retrieve and use information efficiently and effectively. Many adults lack these essential skills. This paper describes a model developed for bridging this cognitive divide based on brain plasticity research and cognitive augmentation and transfer training methodologies.
