Open and Distance Learning in Small States: Which Models?

Abstract

What I shall do is to look at the field of distance education generally and ask what has changed and what has not changed since 1989. This will lead me to comment directly on my subject, namely the appropriate models for open and distance learning in small states. I shall conclude with an account of the Virtual University for Small States of the Commonwealth, in which both Mauritius and COL are involved, and then finally risk a few comments about what you should do next.
