The changing faces of virtual education
The report demonstrates that there are several trends emerging that are likely to bring about radical changes to the way we think about the concepts of campus, curriculum, courses, teaching/learning processes, credentials/awards and the way ICTs can be utilised to enable and support learning. These trends, called "macro developments" in the report, include new venues for learning, the use of “learning objects” to define and store content, new organisational models, online learner support services, quality assurance models for virtual education and the continuing evolution of ICTs. Each of these "macro developments" is defined and described in separate chapters of the report.

The Impact of Media and Technology in Schools
There are two major approaches to using media and technology in schools. First, students can learn "from" media and technology, and second, they can learn "with" media and technology. Learning "from" media and technology is often referred to in terms such as instructional television, computer-based instruction, or integrated learning systems. [623]

Technologies for Education
To "tech" or not to "tech" education is not the question. The real question is how to harvest the power of technology to meet the challenges of the 21st century and make education relevant, responsive, and effective for anyone, anywhere, anytime. Drawing on the wealth of worldwide knowledge and experience, this book outlines the rationales and realities of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) for education, examines the options and choices for applying them, and summarizes a series of case studies that illustrate modalities of integrating ICTs into learning systems in different settings.

Framing the discussion: the articulation of computers with teaching and learning
This paper arose in response to needs expressed from various quarters of the University of Cape Town for a conversation to be initiated about the possibilities and challenges of computers for teaching and learning in a research-led institution. One of the aims is an eventual institutional educational technology policy for UCT.

The Positive Business Case for Rural Telecommunications
In countries all around the world, the telecommunication industry is undergoing restructuring, usually with a visible sense of urgency. Why is this occurring ? First, it is increasingly evident that telecommunications and economic development are very closely linked. Intuitively, this seems logical. Scientific investigation and analysis has confirmed that the correlation between telecommunications and economic development is in fact very high.
