INTRODUCTION
This wiki is designed to introduce the reader to a generalised understanding of the current status of E-Learning in Higher Education (abbreviated to ELHE throughout this wiki) in countries of unrest using Palestine and Greece as examples. It is impossible in this short wiki to completely illustrate the complexities surrounding ELHE in these countries due to the myriad of issues that lie within the social, political and economic situations within the corresponding regions.

However an attempt has been made to "snapshot" the social, political and economic diversity and challenges surrounding Palestinian and Greek e-students, e-teachers, academics, and higher education institutions. Also considered in this wiki are the challenges faced and advances being made in respect to ELHE by not only local government organisations but also relief agencies and international aid agencies.

Initially, in the first page found within each country's section of this wiki, the writer has attempted to not only illustrate the social, political and economic situtations but to visually depict what daily life is like for the potential or actual e-students and other associated stakeholders in ELHE in these countries as "a picture says a thousand words", more so than just literary conveyance. It is impossible to write about all the history and intricacies, perspectives and facts both past and present or to evaluate who/what is right/wrong. One can only briefly glimpse through the eyes of the stakeholders of ELHE in Palestine and Greece.

The writer of this wiki attempts to overview ELHE within Palestine and Greece, moving to examine the constraint and proliferation factors surrounding uptake of E-Learning at this level of education, whilst factoring in the unrest that surrounds the stakeholders and their institutions be they virtual, face to face, blended or otherwise.

In conclusion we contrast and compare ELHE in Palestine and Greece, finally moving to correlate what the writer's research tells us in contrast to how ELHE in countries of social, political and economic unrest compares to New Zealand's ELHE situation.
