Innovation in Open and Distance Education - NADEOSA 2008 Conference
NADEOSA would like to thank everyone for making our annual conference the success it was.
The conference was hosted by the University of Pretoria's Distance Education Unit as part of the University's centenary celebrations.

We are also grateful to our two keynote speakers:
Tan Sri Dato' Emiritas Professor Gajaraj Dhanarajan, Vice Chancellor and CEO, Wwasan Open University, Malaysia, and
Dr Paul Clark, Senior Research Fellow in the Institute of Educational Technology at the UK Open University.
The conference theme was selected as there is a growing convergence between the use of distance and traditional education methodologies in pursuit of open educational ideals. The conference theme was explored through the following sub-themes:
Open education resources
Innovation in programme design and materials development
Innovation in student assessment and programme evaluation
Innovative uses of technology for learner support
