The site is intended for anyone who is involved or
interested in distance education and who would like to contribute to a knowledge database
about its use in developing countries.
Currently the main sections on the web site are:
 | Why are developing countries interested in distance education,
and why is it important to research how it is used? Issues like these are raised in
the Distance education in developing countries section, which
discusses the role of DE in facilitating lifelong learning, fears of globalisation,
and the importance of difference in the postmodern world.
|
 | For an example of distance education in a developing country see
the section on the Institute of Distance Education (IDE) in
Swaziland, Southern Africa. Please let me know of other examples to link to.
|
 | The website also has a Borderless
Education section with links to the world of distance education, and also has a discussion list.
Please let me know of other links to
include here.
