This book describes the history, structure and institutions of open and distance education in six countries: Australia, Brazil, Canada, Germany, the UK and the US. It discusses how open and distance education is evolving in a digital age to reflect the needs and circumstances of national higher education systems in these countries, and explores the similarities and differences between the ways in which they are organized and structured. It is the first book to make such comparisons and draw conclusions about the nature of open and distance education in the context of various national higher education systems. In a digital era with growing use of online education as well as open and distance education, this book is particularly useful for policy-makers and senior administrators who want to learn about organizing and expanding open and distance education provision. It is also a valuable referencefor researchers, academics and students interested in understanding the different approaches to open and distance education. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Open and Distance Education,$x2509-4343 606 $aLearning, Psychology of 606 $aEducational technology 606 $aInternational education 606 $aComparative education 606 $aEducation, Higher 606 $aInstructional Psychology 606 $aDigital Education and Educational Technology 606 $aInternational and Comparative Education 606 $aHigher Education 615 0$aLearning, Psychology of. 615 0$aEducational technology. 615 0$aInternational education. 615 0$aComparative education. 615 0$aEducation, Higher. 615 14$aInstructional Psychology. 615 24$aDigital Education and Educational Technology. 615 24$aInternational and Comparative Education. 615 24$aHigher Education. 676 $a371.3 686 $aEDU009000$aEDU015000$aEDU039000$aEDU043000$2bisacsh 700 $aQayyum$b Adnan$4edt$01790874 702 $aQayyum$b Adnan$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aZawacki-Richter$b Olaf$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299552203321 996 $aOpen and Distance Education in Australia, Europe and the Americas$94327692 997 $aUNINA
