Abstract
("The New Learning Environment: A Global Perspective"), June 2-6, 1997, Pennsylvania, USA.
This was the 18th International Council for Distance Education Conference; but my own personal first. My previous conference circuit had mainly been with conferences in the UK, so I had much curiosity for the mix of perspectives from the so called developing and the developed worlds. The use of technology in education was one of a small number of major themes at this years ICDE, pursued within an overall theme of a global perspective on the New Learning Environment.
