US-Finland Workshop: Conference on Emerging Global Electronic Distance Learning, Tampere, Finland

该奖项支持16名参与者参加1999年8月9日至13日在芬兰坦佩雷举行的新兴全球电子远程学习会议。远程教育对那些最可能从中受益的人（如发展中国家和美国农村地区的人）来说往往不容易获得。这次会议/讲习班将汇集来自服务不足国家的决策者和远程学习和远程医疗领域的领导人，讨论实施可负担得起的全球电子远程学习的实际解决方案。讲习班的目标是促进负担得起的远程教育，增进跨文化理解，促进可持续性，确定试点合作研究项目，并讨论标准化和课程开发。

Distance education is often not readily available to those who could benefit from it most (such as those in developing countries and rural areas in the United States). This conference/workshop will bring together decision-makers from under-served countries and leaders in distance learning and telemedicine to discuss practical solutions for implementing affordable global electronic distance learning across national boundaries. The goals of the workshop are to promote affordable distance education, increase cross-cultural understanding, promote sustainability, identify pilot cooperative research projects, and discuss standardization and curriculum development.
