Dear APRU colleagues,

I am pleased to inform you that the 5th APRU Distance Learning and the 
Internet (DLI) Conference will be held at Tsinghua University, Beijing, 
China, from October 11-13, 2004. 

The fifth in its series, the conference aims to bring together leading 
distance learning experts from academia, business and public sectors 
from around the world.  This year's theme is:
 
"Distance Learning - Benefiting All" with the following three sub-themes:

1.  Quality control and accreditation
2.  Technology trends and challenges
3.  Globalization and development

Issues addressed at the conference include quality assurance and 
assessment of technology mediated courses, emerging trends and 
challenges in distance learning delivery as well as the 
inter-relationship between globalization and internet technology.  
Participants will have the opportunity to exchange views on how internet 
technology can be effectively harnessed to benefit the educational 
sector and society. 

The call for papers is now open to all APRU members.  Papers relating to 
the conference themes are welcome.  All papers are to be submitted to
