Improving Accessibility of Professional Development by Localization of Online Learning Environments
Josef StroblContinuing professional development (CPD) has an enormous potential to reach beyond traditional means of education and training. With the Internet putting educational resources onto the horizon of many professionals, we need to address issues arising from this wider reach. Multiple languages and regional differences of cultures, policies, economy, etcetra, make open and distance learning (ODL) and flexible education a challenge even to experienced educators. Solutions and ideas to design and implement international educational resources for Internet delivery are discussed, primarily drawing on examples from the UNIGIS diploma and an EU-US educational program.
