Findings based on long-term effects (Kärchner et al., 2022) emphasize the results. Green ICT adds promising ecological options for the technical setups, particularly in deep rural environments, even on a lower budget (Wittrodt, 2020). This dissertation investigates psychological factors for learning that are relevant in the specific situation (living conditions) of the San people. Furthermore, it explores if and how green ICT installations may help establish a culture of education for (San) minorities whose education is not - or hard - to achieve following conventional approaches. The dissertation is based on three case studies conducted at different conservancies in Namibia, using green ICT equipment for training San teenagers and adults without prior ICT skills in Windows and office software, evaluating questionnaires (including System Usability, General Self-Efficacy and Education scales). The outcomes suggest highly motivating effects of ICT use for the San participants as well as reliable multimedia setups in bush schools and deep remote outdoor settings using green ICT. The new approach to establishing ICT based education and learning for the marginalized San communities (teenagers and adults) appears feasible. 4950 https://doi.org/10.18445/20251126-100238-0$xR$3Volltext$534 4950 https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:hbz:708-dh15381$xR$3Volltext$534 4961 https://ub-deposit.fernuni-hagen.de/receive/mir_mods_00002254 5051 150 5550 computer literacy 5550 e-learning 5550 empowerment 5550 green ICT 5550 ICT4D 5550 San community development 5550 UN development goals 5550 WEEE
