[Lady Murrugarra]

CALL FOR PAPERS ~ WHAT IS THE ROLE OF DISTANCE EDUCATION IN THE
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE RIGHT TO EDUCATION?

The International Review of Research in Open and Distance Learning
(www.irrodl.org) is putting out this Call for Papers in collaboration
with five other scholarly journals. IRRODL is launching this call for
research and �good practices� papers (to be published in 2008)
concerning distance education and the right to education (in particular
reference to Article 26 of the Universal Declaration of the Human Rights
of December 10th, 1948):

"What is the role of distance education in the implementation of the
right to education? How is distance education involved when education is
seen as a right? What is its position in educational policy, as a factor
of quality and an instrument for liberty? Do the technologies of
distance education act as enablers or barriers to achieving the
universal right to education?" ( http://www.hrweb.org/legal/udhr.html )

Authors can approach this theme from multiple points of view,
pedagogical, sociological, economic, political, technical, legal,
practical, etc.

* IMPORTANT * IRRODL is putting out this Call for Papers in
collaboration with five other scholarly journals with international
influence and readership in Africa, Asia, Europe, Middle East, Oceania,
North America, and South America:

Asian Journal of Distance Education: http://www.asianjde.org/

Journal of Asynchronous Learning Network:
http://www.sloan-c.org/publications/jaln/
IRRODL: http://www.irrodl.org/

Final texts selected by each participating journal (subject to the
outcome of the blind peer review process) will be published in their
original language on a common website, with open access; they may also
be published on the usual websites of the journals and in the printed
versions of those journals, either in their original language or
translated.

Authors will benefit from a wide international dissemination, and their
works will make up a common international reference regarding distance
education and the universal question of the right to education.
