Distance Learning and the Internet Conference

 

The Distance Learning and the Internet Conference (DLI) is a flagship activity of APRUNet, which explores global issues in distance learning and the utilization of current information technology in education amongst Pacific Rim universities.  As an annual conference series, DLI's mission is to facilitate development of advanced Internet capabilities among APRU universities and Pacific Rim economies in collaboration with strategic and commercial partners.

 

DLI brings together leading distance learning and ICT experts from academia, business and government from around the world.  A primary objective is to foster new international distance learning and IT-enabled projects and partnerships around the Pacific Rim.
