The successes and challenges of online education in the developing world are the focus of "Online Education: What Can It Deliver?" launched this week. Educational resources available via the Internet, from online course materials to virtual classroom videoconferencing, offer new opportunities. But roadblocks remain, including the high cost of Internet access and lack of trained local professionals. The report looks at lessons learned and innovations that work. It also coincides with April's Digital Learning Asia 2006 in Bangkok, and May's International Conference on ICT for Development, Education & Training in Addis Ababa.
