Abstract

AbstractThe portability of computer-related media in international distance education is a complex process. Still in its infancy, particularly in developing countries, it presents political, social, and economic as well as instructional challenges. The search for a harmonious fit between what is required and what is available is examined in this paper in terms of current and potential applications in the more technologically developed nations and in terms of instructional and noninstructional applications in operation or under consideration in institutions in developing countries. Opportunities for international collaboration in the application of computer-related media to distance education are increasing. A strategy is offered to educators for successful portability of computer-related media, taking into consideration political, social, and economic factors.
