Some weeks ago I posted a pointer to a piece in "The Learning Marketplace" about distance education across borders. Colin Steele of the Australian National Library has kindly given me some  other interesting pointers on this topic which I wanted to share. He says:

" You cited the British report
but perhaps an even more substantial one is the 303 page Australian one
"The Business of Borderless Education" published by the Australian
Department of Education, Training and Youth Affairs and available if you
want to print it out on the DETYA web site.  The summary is available at
http://www.detya.gov.au/highered/eippubs/eip00_3/execsum.htm and at the
bottom of this page there is a link to the actual publication.
