Two excellent resources from Clayton R. Wright based on his experiences teaching around the world, 'Teacher Education via ODL From Reflections to Action' and 'The Significance of Education, ODL & ICTs to the People of Developing Nations'. Take the time to carefully review both. The presentations make the case for the need for ODL (open and distance learning) in teacher education, but faces the realities of the developing world head-on, and is clear about the steps that have to be taken for such programs to succeed (including many of the things we take for granted here in Canada, like "pay teachers on time"). I really appreciate the emphasis on making decisions and taking actions. Worthy of mention as well is the superb photography that accompanies and supports the message.
