Abstract: Due to the poor usage of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in rural areas, rural community development is at a very slow rate. Information and communication technologies are developing day by day but are less applicable in rural areas due to such reasons as a lack of communication facilities and resources in rural areas. The problems in Nigerian rural communities are heightened by unstable electricity, poor communication, network and lack of knowledge about new technologies and how to use them. In this study, we tried to establish the conceptual and beneficial relationships among community development, community-based education and ICTs. We also looked at how community-based education can be fostered as a result of this relationship. Finally, we argued that the role, of ICTs in promoting community-based education cannot be overemphasized as it goes a long way in facilitating both teaching and learning processes in rural communities.
