CONFERENCE THEME
"Evolving eLearning"
In recent years the role of telecommunications and online technologies
has impacted greatly on the field of distance education. New approaches
to designing effective learning, new approaches to teaching and new
opportunities for providing educational programmes have been the result.
This conference aims to address the issues surrounding the adoption of
eLearning strategies in distance education, and explore what is required
at a local, national and international level to make this successful.
