The Patron of the Conference |
 "I
am very glad that the FernUniversität Hagen succeeded in obtaining the contract for the

Invitation and Welcome Message |
| Open, distance, and virtual learning will be
the key strategy for education and training in an information society where continuous
updating of knowledge and skills throughout the entire population will be a prime basis
for the development of economies and of nations. |
| It is important for all institutions,
associations, and individuals in the field of teaching and training to stay on the cutting
edge of this fast-moving environment. |
| On behalf of the organizers of the 20th ICDE
World Conference, we invite everyone who is involved in any field of education and
training (universities, schools, companies, governments, inter-governmental organizations,
NGOs, etc.) to actively participate in the 20th ICDE World Conference on Open Learning
and Distance Education, to take place in Düsseldorf, Germany, from 01 to 05 April
2001. This first World Conference in the new millennium is an effort by the
international community to focus on the future of education and training in general and on
the convergence of open, distance, and virtual learning and traditional education
paradigms. |
| We are pleased to report that the Call for
Papers resulted a very good response and we look forward to receiving interesting and
considerable contributions at the 20th ICDE World Conference. Keynote speeches will be
delivered by renown representatives from education, politics, and economy. |
| The World Conference will be structured into
Core Events (Plenary, Panel, Parallel, and Poster Sessions) and Extension Events
(Workshops, Discussion Groups, Media Demonstrations, Meetings, etc.). In addition, Special
Concurrent Sessions and an Exhibition, presenting products and services, will be held in
conjunction with the conference. |
| Since 1938, ICDE has organized periodic
world conferences, bringing together the world's leaders in Open Learning and Distance
Education. ICDE world conferences are the most established and prestigious events in a
field that is in the forefront of global educational development. The ICDE organization
includes 145 countries all over the world, as well as an increasing number of education

The Themes and the Structure of the Conference |
| The 20th ICDE World Conference on Open
Learning and Distance Education will be held under the main theme |
The Future
of Learning - Learning for the Future:
Shaping the Transition |
| The main objective of the conference will be
to view the development of learning and to explore how especially open learning and
distance education, virtual training and e-learning will find their positions in a
perpetually changing world in the coming years. |
| During the decades before the turn of the
millennium the influence of technology, economy, politics, and society on people was very
strong and it will go on affecting our daily life. World-wide, we find ourselves in a
period of transition. Nobody could have expected all the radical changes that have taken
place during the past years, and today nobody can predict reliably the development and the
changes still to come. In addition, changes and developments have been rather diverse in
the different parts of the world as far as way, rapidity, and results are concerned. |
| Against this background, we have to ask
ourselves whether we want to accept, to control, to harmonize, to remove, or to overcome
these changes and developments with all their varieties. Thus, we need to get an idea of
our aims: What do we want education and training worldwide to be in 2005/2010? |
| We should not allow ourselves to be overrun
by the upcoming technical, economic, political, and social developments. On the contrary,
we should aim to actively influence the objectives, the contents, the direction, the path,
the means, and the rapidity of the changes and thus shape the transition into the
future. We need to give answers to the following questions: |
How do we learn in the future?
How do we learn for the future?
How do we achieve justness and social equity?
How do we achieve sustainable results?
|
| Considering the need to face the changes and
developments in the field of education and training, the 20th ICDE World Conference will
explore the challenges for Open Learning and Distance Education under the following six
main streams: |
- Strategies & Policies
- Contents & Skills
- Methods & Technologies
- Support & Services
- Management & Logistics
- Research & Evaluation
|
| Within these streams the development of Open
Learning and Distance Education will be treated under the influence of various issues and
aspects. The most significant ones are listed here: |
Issues
Quality
Accreditation/Certification
Technology-Pedagogy Interface
Staff Development
Gender
Disabled/Disadvantaged
Barriers/Constraints
Markets/Marketing
Partnerships/Alliances/Networks
Developing Countries
Take off Countries
Developed Countries

|
All these streams, issues, and aspects
affect Lifelong Learning in its three main areas of education and training:
The definite programme of the World Conference will be designed along this
structure of streams, issues, aspects, and areas. Abstracts and proposals for Core Events
(Plenary, Parallel and Poster Sessions) and Extension Events should refer to these
streams, issues, aspects, and areas. They should as well always relate to the main theme
and the main objective of the conference. |
| To get a visual impression of the conference
structure please have a look at the Conference Scheme. |
|
Conference Proceedings |

About Sessions & Speakers |
The Plenary and Panel Sessions |
| Besides the Opening Ceremony and the Closing
Session, two main Plenary Sessions will be held during the 20th ICDE World
Conference on Monday and Wednesday morning. |
| During the Plenary Session on Monday
morning, 02 April 2001, renown representatives from politics and economy, education and
society will further explore the main theme of the Conference in their keynote
speeches. The discussion on the panel and with the audience will be moderated by Prof.
Peter Glotz, mcm institute, University of St. Gallen, Switzerland. Erwin Staudt, CEO IBM,
Germany, and Molly C. Broad, President University of North Carolina, USA, have already
confirmed their participation; more confirmations are to come. |
| The Plenary Session on Wednesday morning, 04
April 2001, will focus on the visions for 2005/2010 in the areas of lifelong
learning: School and Vocational Education, University and Higher Education, Company and
Workforce Training, and Adult Education. The invited speakers will give their personal and
professional perspective on education and training as a prerequisite for shaping the
transition into the new environments. A panel discussion will follow the presentations,
and workshop sessions oriented to the education and training areas will allow for more
in-depth-discussions between the keynote speakers and the conference participants. Guus
Wijngaards, European SchoolNet, and James C. Taylor, Vice-President University of Southern
Queensland, Australia, have already confirmed their participation; more confirmations are
to come. |
| In addition to the Plenary Sessions a number
of Special Panels with invited speakers will take place during the Conference,
dealing with particular themes: Ethics of Distance Education, Higher Distance Education in
North America, Distance Education Journals, etc. are under planning. |
The Parallel Sessions |
From the incoming abstracts about 200
abstracts were selected for paper presentations in the Parallel Sessions of the
conference.
Six Parallel Sessions will be held at a time with normally four paper presentations
each, followed by discussions. The Parallel Sessions are related to the six main
streams (see Conference Scheme) and will be grouped
consecutively within one stream, running throughout the conference.
Appraisal: The members of the International Programme Committee took much
time and effort in evaluating the submitted abstracts. The evaluation of the abstracts
related to the "Support and Services" stream was heavily supported by the Open
University, United Kingdom; the same applies to the structuring of that particular stream.
The UNED, Spain, contributed in particular to the evaluation of the abstracts with a
"language" aspect.

Moderator for Plenary Session on Monday |
 Erwin Staudt
CEO of
IBM Germany
"The Information Society
is driven by knowledge. The average employee of the Information Society has to renew his
professional knowledge three times in his live. He will work in different positions which
ask different skills. Life long learning becomes more and more important."
|
 Guus Wijngaards
Communication Manager at
European SchoolNet
"Students live in an
international society full of communication technologies and social complexities. It is
high time that most of our schools and learning centres adapt themselves to these
character traits of our society and learn to cope with teaching social complexity."
|
 James C. Taylor
Deputy Vice-Chancellor, University of Southern Queensland, Australia
"As institutions
throughout the world increasingly offer courses via the Internet, there will emerge a
global lifelong learning economy. To compete successfully in this global competition,
education and training organizations need an appropriate organizational development
strategy as they strive to survive and prosper
in the 21st century." |

Information on FernUniversität |
| The FernUniversität Hagen (University of
Hagen), Germany, was founded in 1974 by act of State Parliament of North Rhine-Westphalia
to provide distance higher education for students at home and abroad. Three main
objectives had been set: - to make a contribution to the reform of university curricula
and studies (Studienreform), - to develop and promote continuing education at university
level (Wissenschaftliche Weiterbildung), and - to provide new university places and thus
relieve other universities of an overflow of students (Kapazitätsentlastung). |
| The FernUniversität is the only distance
teaching university in Germany and an integral part of the regular public higher education
system. Academic autonomy, research and teaching activities, admission and examination
requirements, final degrees conferred, doctorates, and procedures to qualify as a
university teacher are fully in line with those of conventional universities. All
professors are engaged in academic research and teaching activities. |
| The six faculties are: Business
Administration and Economics; Computer Science; Education, Social Sciences and Humanities;
Electrical Engineering; Law; and Mathematics. They are offering both university degree
programmes (Diplom I, Diplom II, Magister Artium, B.A., B.Sc.; M.A., M.Sc. under
preparation) and academic further education. |
| During the 25 years of its existence, the
FernUniversität has developed to one of the largest universities in Germany. Currently
over 58.000 students are enrolled at the FernUniversität. On the whole about 1.700
courses ("lectures") are offered for degree and postgraduate programmes as well
as for further education and professional development. The language of instruction is
mainly German but English is used increasingly (translation of existing and development of
new courses and study programmes). |
| The FernUniversität is undergoing a rapid
process in developing itself into a comprehensive "Virtual University" in which
all its programmes, offers, and services can be accessed and used via the electronic
information and communication technologies. |

Düsseldorf |
DÜSSELDORF - the Exciting City on the Rhine |
| It is the contrasts which make the capital
city of North Rhine-Westphalia with its 570.00 inhabitants so special. Düsseldorf, a
bustling, modern city, is a major centre of trade, commerce and services, and, above all,
the city of fashion, shopping, and culture. It is located in the heart of the Rhine-Ruhr
conurbation and in the centre of Europe. Düsseldorf and the surrounding region are home
to 52 universities and numerous excellent and outstanding research institutes. |
| Between Rhenish conviviality and
cosmopolitan charm, there exists a wealth of attractions worth being seen and experienced,
a richly faceted spectrum... |
| ... from the picturesque narrow lanes of the
Altstadt, the old town, to the new Rhine embankment promenade and to the splendour of
Königsallee, a true catwalk for the latest fashion trends ... |
| ... from the small galleries and antique
shops of the Karlstadt quarter with its elegantly restored architecture to the
Kö-Galerie, one of the most elegant shopping malls in Europe ... |
| ... from the delicately precious Roman
glasses in the Kunstmuseum (art museum) to the treasures of contemporary paintings in the
Kunstsammlung (art collection) NRW, to name just two of Düsseldorf's many museums,
forming an 'art axis' that runs parallel to the Rhine ... |
| ... from the German Opera on the Rhine to
numerous theatres spread over the city and the newly established Media Mile in the old
harbour area ... |
| ... from one of the 260 cosy pubs in the
Altstadt, the old town, and its `Altbier' to the three-star gourmet temple... |
| ... from the ruins of Emperor Barbarossa's
fortified castle at Kaiserswerth on the Rhine to the daintily ornate charm of the

|
The Weather in Germany |
| April is the beginning of spring in Germany.
But there is a German proverb saying „Der April, der April, der macht, was er
will" („The April, the April, does whatever it likes to do"); and we are
talking about a real `April weather' at that time of the year. That means that it is very
difficult to venture a reliable weather forecast for the time when the 20th ICDE World
Conference will take place in Düsseldorf. It might be cold and rainy like in autumn, we
even might have some snow like in winter, but it might as well be very sunny and rather
warm like in spring. So we would like to advise you to bring clothes for all weather
conditions and, please, do not forget to take an umbrella with you...and your sun-glasses. |

4-DAY-TOUR TO AMSTERDAM
05 - 08 April 2001 |
| 05 April 2001 |
| On our trip to Amsterdam, the capital of the
Netherlands, we will make a stop in the charming village Amersfoort, with its 700-year-old
picturesque centre and its famous market square. Amersfoort is situated right in the
middle of the Netherlands. After having checked in at the characteristic Hotel Amersfoort
on top of the "Amersfoort Mountain", dinner will be served in the hotel or a
charming restaurant. |
| 06 April 2001 |
| After breakfast we are going to be picked up
by our guide to leave for Utrecht and Amsterdam. After a city walk through Utrecht we will
continue to Amsterdam where a short sight seeing tour will give a first impression of the
"Venice of the North" with its famous network of canals and more than 1000
bridges. After lunch in a nice restaurant you will get to know the history around
Hajenius, one of the most famous European brands of cigars, and you will have the
opportunity to take part in a short "cigar-workshop". Afterwards we will go to
the Novotel Amsterdam, a 4* hotel, and check in. |
| 07 April 2001 |
The third day of our trip is dedicated to
the unique and world known Rijksmuseum of Amsterdam where we are going to carry out a
"painting's ralley". The museum houses above all several paintings of the 17th
century and shows famous works of artists like Rembrandt, Frans Hals, Jan Steen, and Jacob
Ruysdaal. Apart from paintings there are also sculptures, silver, furniture, glass, Asian
art, and an impressing department on history of the Netherlands to be admired.
Afterwards the coach is taking us to the city centre again _ the afternoon is at
your free disposal and might be used for some shopping, private sightseeing of the
"Jordaan-district" for example or just for relaxation. |
| 08 April 2001 |
A roundtrip on Amsterdam's canals on a
private boat will allow us to admire the characteristic architecture of the 17th
and 18th century, the marvellous houses of the ancient patrician traders.
Before the numbering of the houses was introduced by Napoleon, the colour of their stones
and the shape of their gables were the only possibility to distinguish them from each
other. After a refreshment with coffee and cake we will continue to Gassan Diamonds, one
of Amsterdam's most important diamond grinding shops, where you can watch the
transformation of an inconspicuous stone to a glittering diamond and enjoy an exclusive
"Diamond Cocktail".
In one glass a real diamond will be hiding, who's glass will it be???
After this exciting morning we will be taken to a nice restaurant for lunch and
leave for Düsseldorf again afterwards. |
