Distance Education, Globalization, and Development
DEPM 625
A study of distance education from an international perspective, highlighting developing countries. Processes are explored through concrete case studies in the areas of higher education and internationalization; teacher education, school networks, and mobile learning; alternative routes to schooling; nonformal education, community radio, telecenters, and radio browsing; and vocational education and training. Topics also cover national and international policies on distance education, including the role of the state; international organizations (such as the World Bank or UNESCO) and their policies (e.g. the Millennium Development Goals); telecommunication infrastructure; transnational corporations and the commercialization of education; and the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS).
