International and Inter-Institutional Collaboration in Distance Education
Date
1998-04-20Abstract

In doing so, one invariably must consider the practice of distance education as an important option in any attempt at coupling mass education and low cost (this may or may not be so, but it is the perception) in most parts of the developing world.
