Abstract
Open and distance learning methodologies help girls and women overcome some of the challenges
they face in attaining education when the only opportunities available to them are provided through
conventional means. With the onslaught of the new information and communications technologies
(ICTs) to deliver open and distance learning, however, it is feared that this trend may be reversed and
that women may become marginalised in accessing distance education due to issues relating to the
use of these technologies. Further, the influx of the new technologies may have an impact on the
staff employed to work in distance learning environments. If women are disadvantaged in accessing
and using the new technologies, this may influence the type of positions for which they are
employed
