Abstract
Education and training opportunities provided through distance and open learning are one of the
few educational areas in which women in the developing world are well represented. Open and
distance learning helps to overcome some of the challenges that women and girls face when the
only other opportunities for education are provided through conventional means. However with
the increased use of the new information and communications technologies (ICTs) to deliver
open and distance learning, it is feared that this trend may be reversed and women may become
marginalised due to issues relating to the access to, and their confidence and ability to use these
new technologies.
