QUALITY ASSURANCE IN OPEN AND DISTANCE LEARNING: EUROPEAN AND INTERNATIONAL PERSPECTIVES: An international conference on issues of quality for new models of education (Downing College, Cambridge, 28/09/1993–30/09/1993)
1993
Abstract
A schematic overview of the characteristics of two differing utopian perspectives with a specific focus upon their implications for higher education will be presented. In this way attention will be drawn to the limiting nature of the parameters within which dominant contemporary educational discourse takes place and the boundaries generated for debates about the quality of distance education will be revealed. Attention will be focussed upon the recent Australian policy document "Achieving Quality". A number of recommendations are drawn from this particular analysis which enable us to orient to the future of distance education in a more carefully considered and less constrained manner.
