UNITED States
Abstract: Policies are being developed to define and regulate distance education. Technology is one modality in
the delivery processes of distance education. The Federal Communications Commission has adopted the
Telecommunications Act of 1996 and established criteria for a technology plan that will receive monetary
discounts under the Universal Service Program. Previous rulings were amended to include the "Unlicensed
National Information Infrastructure." Purdue University's Distance Education and Information Technology Unit
has five goals to their program. The Committee at the University of Texas at Arlington monitors the federal,
regional, and state governing bodies of distance education. The staff of the Texas Woman's University believes
monitoring of the learners' knowledge is imperative. Facilities and programs in which distance education can
occur should be made available. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

DISTANCE education
EDUCATIONAL accountability
UNITED States
Abstract: This essay reviews two interrelated sets of changes that are having a major influence on higher
education now and for the future. Our primary concern is with the changes wrought by the incorporation of new
information and communication technologies into the teaching activities of colleges and universities. Today
these are normally discussed under the rubric of "distance education,' but we believe this label misconceives the
importance of online technologies in blurring' the distinctions between on- and off-campus teaching. We
consider a number of ethical and policy issues arising from these changes and the ways in which the uses of
these new technologies affect and are affected by a second set of changes affecting universities, the conditions
of globalization. In general, we want to question the forced options of boosterism or rejectionism, along with
other unhelpful dichotomies that have characterized much of the discussion of these issues up until now.

EUROPE
Abstract: Open and Distance Learning (ODL) is much more than a didactic or technological issue. On the basis
of contemporary approaches to culture, it is both an agent and a barometer of culture: culture influences the
appearances, models and contents of ODL, but is influenced itself as well by the ODL phenomenon. Illustration
of the point is made through an analysis of the historic roots of ODL in comparison with Europe's contemporary
transnational and technology based ODL. The analysis results in an agenda for important cultural issues, such as
the institutional character of ODL, its contribution to Europe's competitiveness, the shaping of a European
citizenship, and the nature of European ODL in terms of its cultural barriers and cultural assets. The ambiguity
of culture typically emerges when looking at language. European transnational, and especially technology based
ODL, may be hindered by the multilingual societies of Europe, and remain so as long as language policies are
imposed. It is advocated that language policies be replaced with language management, applied in a creative
way (eg, by implementing appropriate technical solutions). The final question examined here, is whether these
problems and solutions are particular to Europe, or whether there are good reasons for acknowledging the
cultural origins, barriers and assets of a wider ODL model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: Many Elementary Schools use the World Wide Web (WWW) to disseminate and gather information.
On-line barriers limit the accessibility of the WWW for students with disabilities. The purpose of this study was
to evaluate the accessibility of Elementary Schools' home pages. A total of 244 Elementary School web sites
were located using a popular online directory and evaluated for accessibility. A software program was used to
quantify the number of accessibility errors at each site. The results indicated that most (57.4%) Elementary
School home pages had accessibility problems, many of which were severe and should be given a high priority
for correcting. The good news is that the majority of the errors can easily be corrected. The work reflects a need
for Elementary Schools to examine the accessibility of their home pages. Direction for improving accessibility
is provided. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

UNITED States
Abstract: This article reviews four major reports of the National Telecommunications and Information
Administration, an agency of the U.S. Department of Commerce, regarding the digital divide and rural
community colleges. The first report was published in 1995; subsequent reports were issued in 1998, 1999, and
2000. It is clear that a "digital divide," as measured by lower penetration rates of telephone usage, personal
computer ownership, and Internet access and usage, exist in rural America. These lower rates exist for nearly
every category measured, including single parent households, young and old persons, minority and majority
populations, persons with disabilities, adult educational attainment, and income. The reports reveal that in many
aspects the divide is growing. Current data on PC ownership and Internet usage are presented for dissemination
to practitioners. The article concludes with a discussion of the implications of this divide for rural community
college students, teachers, administrators, and policymakers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

CANADA
Abstract: Access issues based on three Canadian empirical studies of the use of computer and information
technologies by college and university students with physical, sensory, and learning disabilities are presented.
Data were obtained between fall 1997 and spring 1999 from: (1) focus groups with students with disabilities (n
= 12); (2) structured interviews with students with disabilities (n = 37) and with post-secondary personnel
responsible for providing services to them (n = 30); (3) questionnaires completed by post-secondary students
with disabilities (n = 725). Findings indicate that the overwhelming majority of students with disabilities use
computers and the Internet, but that 41% of them need some type of adaptation to use computers effectively.
Key findings emphasize advantages of computer technologies and delineate barriers to full access. Types of
computer, information and adaptive technologies used by students with different disabilities are presented and
emerging trends are highlighted. The goal is (1) to sensitize educational and instructional technologists,
professors and planners involved in the implementation of educational media into post-secondary education
curricula and (2) to demonstrate that designing for accessibility from the outset creates a more equitable
learning environment that provides opportunities for all students. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
