2001Abstract
Education and training opportunities provided through distance and open learning are one of the
few educational areas in which women in the developing world are well represented. Flexible
delivery methods help to overcome some of the challenges that women and girls face when the
only other opportunities for education are provided through conventional means. However, with
the increased use of the new information and communications technologies (ICTs) to deliver
open and distance learning, it is feared that this trend may be reversed and that women may
become marginalised in opportunities for open and distance learning due to issues related to
access and ability to use the new technologies.
