Learning Without Frontiers' What's New
With the current update (17 April 1999), we have included and updated the site with the following items:
- Jan Visser, Basarab Nicolescu, Ron Burnett, Cheick Diarra, Marcy Driscoll, Leon Lederman and Robert Tinker are in Canada, contributing to the Symposium on Overcoming the Underdevelopment of Learning at the Annual Meeting of the American Educational Research Association, held in Montreal from 19 to 23 April 1999. All full text contributions are available on-line through the links on this page.
- Our partners in India have been working on developing this background concept paper for a new project that they plan on catalyzing: Udaipur as a Learning City. We would greatly appreciate your thoughts and suggestions on it as well as any additional contacts/resources materials/experiences which we should consult. Please feel free to share this call with others. Please send your comments c/o Vidhi Jain, Learning Activist, Shikshantar.
- The first on-line version of the original contribution to UNESCO's World Communication and Information Report 1999 ( PDF Document) written by Prof C. Blurton from the University of Hong Kong. In the final form it will be significantly reduced in size. Especially because of the many interesting references we decided to provide the full document on-line. The many interesting references to web-sites appearing in this text are not yet verified, nor directly clickable. We are working on these issues.
