Knowledge, Learning, Community
A set of 23 case studies describing the experiences of women in distance education in six Asian countries. About what you would expect - although there are usually no overt barriers, women are often barred from obtaining a traditional education due to their responsbilities to their families, but distance learning helps them overcome those barriers, achieve a new sense of confidence, and still help and support their children and husbands. What is unique about this report is the richness of the descriptions and the clarity of the numerous quotations from the distance learners themselves. PDF file.
