Here’s a great online seminar for you to join if you have the time on Tuesday 17th June from 10.00am – 11.00am (NZ time). Details on the DEANZ blog.

In this session Wayne will reflect on COL’s experiences to date and assess the success of the project in turning the digital divide into digital dividends. As ODL practitioners, a key question comes to mind: Does the project suggest the reincarnation of distance education or a new innovation?
