Abstract
The International Development Research Centre (IDRC) conducted a study of current distance education (DE) research and development initiatives across Asia. Managed by the IDRC’s PAN Asia Networking division in Singapore, the study focused on uses of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in the delivery of formal and non-formal DE. Research teams were identified whose experience might assist other teams with lesser experience in future research projects. The results of this study of distance and open resource access are detailed in this volume. The research has yielded a series of two dozen training modules towards development of DE in Asia.
