Abstract
Together with rapid developments in information technology (IT), online education is emerging as a new model for higher education. Reviewing online education from a gender perspective and searching for alternatives are deemed as very important tasks. Creating new demand for gender education is also an important objective. Online education, as a new medium of feminism, can play an important role in revitalizing conventional gender education to go beyond the constraints of time and space. Amidst the increasingly globalized world trends, online teaching techniques that use “the limitless web” to connect women across Asian locales—allowing them to share concerns, discuss their common interests, and effect change—would be an important means of moving beyond temporal and spatial limitations. By examining the current practice of online education from a gender perspective, the present paper will explore how it can serve both as an opportunity and a limitation for women, particularly in Asia. Also, by looking at a specific example of gender education in a Korean online university, where its institutionalization is progressing at a fairly quick pace, this paper will offer some suggestions to substantively and systematically supplement and activate online gender education not only in Korea but elsewhere in Asia as well.
