(Globalization, diversity and special needs) Presentation (in French) to the International Open Forum on E-Learning and Standards on behalf of UNESCO. Focuses on e-learning in (sub-Saharan) Africa. The major issue in Africa, of course, is the lack of infrastructure and resources: "le manque d'infrastructure et de ressources éducatives met un filtre pour écarter le plus grand nombre." Africa also presents special challenges because of its diversity, creating "l'opposition entre l'universalité des normes et la logique d'invidualisation et de granularisation de la formation." The presentation outlines some projects and calls on the translation of plans into actions.
